Parliamentary Focus on Retiree Welfare
Alongside the payment schedule announcement, significant attention is being given to the welfare of retirees within Iran’s legislative bodies. The Social Commission of the Parliament recently held a meeting with the managing director of the Civil Servant Retirement Fund.
The session focused on reviewing the living conditions of retirees, particularly those covered by insurance funds, and exploring avenues to improve their financial standing. Shahrokh Ramin, Chairman of the Commission’s Legal Supervision Committee, emphasized that a previous agreement stipulated that pension increases for insurance fund retirees must be on par with other funds. He noted that while this principle was approved, it requires further formulation and conversion into binding law for full implementation.
Advocacy and Legislative Support
Echoing the parliamentary focus, Nasrollah Daryabeigi, Secretary of the Mazandaran Workers’ House, highlighted the necessity of raising the minimum pension to an adequate level that reflects economic conditions. He also called for enhanced medical and insurance services to alleviate financial pressure on retirees.
Reinforcing this commitment, Reza Hajipour, a Member of Parliament, affirmed that the demands of retirees are legal and rightful. He stated that parliamentarians will employ all efforts to follow up on these matters and work towards improving the livelihood of this segment of society.
