Iranian Social Security Organization Announces Phased Schedule for Pension Back Payments
In a significant move to address longstanding financial commitments, the Iranian Social Security Organization (ISSO) has officially announced a detailed, phased schedule for the disbursement of overdue pension payments. This structured plan prioritizes lower-income retirees and those with disabilities, ensuring a systematic and clear process for all beneficiaries.
Payment Schedule Prioritizes Lower-Income Retirees
According to the official announcement, the disbursement process commenced on September 2, 2024 (Shahrivar 12, 1403). The first phase specifically targets retirees whose total monthly pension income is up to 20 million tomans, as well as all disabled pensioners. This initial phase underscores the organization’s commitment to supporting its most vulnerable members first.
Survivor Pensions to be Paid with September Salaries
The second phase of the payment plan covers survivors, including the spouses and children of deceased pensioners. The ISSO has confirmed that these back payments will be deposited concurrently with the regular pension payments for September 2024. Reports indicate this is scheduled to occur between September 19-21, 2024 (Shahrivar 29-31, 1403).
Remaining Retirees Set for Early October Payments
The final group of retirees, those with monthly pensions exceeding 20 million tomans, will receive their arrears in early October 2024 (Mehr 1403). Their payments will be processed immediately following the disbursement of the regular October pension.
Clear Timetable for Beneficiaries
The ISSO has provided a clear timeline to ensure transparency and manage expectations:
| Phase | Beneficiary Group | Disbursement Timeframe |
|---|---|---|
| First | Retirees (up to 20M Tomans) & Disabled Pensioners | From September 2, 2024 |
| Second | Survivors (Spouses/Children) | With September Pension (Sep 19-21) |
| Third | All Other Retirees (Above 20M Tomans) | Early October 2024 |
This definitive schedule provides much-needed clarity for pensioners who have been awaiting these payments, marking a positive step in fulfilling the state’s obligations to its citizens.
Official Channels for Information
Retirees and pensioners are advised to verify the status of their payments and access relevant payslips through the ISSO’s official website (Tamin.ir) or its dedicated online portal, the “Tamin Man” system. To avoid misinformation, the public is strongly encouraged to rely solely on these official communication channels from the ISSO’s Public Relations department for updates.
