Retirees Voice Concerns Over Delayed Pension Adjustments as New Month Begins
A group of mid-tier Social Security Organization retirees have expressed frustration over the prolonged delay in receiving pension adjustments originally due in the first month of the Iranian calendar year.
Awaiting Fulfillment
As November commences, these retirees report that the promised payments have yet to be deposited. “The new month has arrived, but our arrears have still not been paid,” they stated. “How long must we wait? Why is there a delay in the Social Security Organization disbursing the legal pensions of retirees?”
Financial Impact on Pensioners
The outstanding adjustments affect certain retirees whose monthly pensions exceed a specific threshold. With over half of the year now passed, the delay means these individuals have been waiting for this payment for several months. In repeated communications, the retirees have urged for the swift settlement of their dues. They emphasized that the real value of these delayed funds has been significantly eroded over the intervening months due to inflationary pressures.
The situation highlights the ongoing administrative and economic challenges in managing pension funds, a matter of significant importance to the nation’s retired community.
