Title: Social Security Initiates Key Pension Payment Adjustments for Retirees
Tehran – The Social Security Organization has announced the commencement of a significant payment cycle, disbursing adjusted pension arrears for a new group of retirees, as part of its ongoing commitment to its beneficiaries.
Payment Process Underway
Following a recent official announcement, the process of depositing the arrears related to pension adjustments and annual increases began this week. This latest phase specifically covers the outstanding payments for the month of Farvardin for retirees with pensions exceeding 20 million tomans.
Funds are currently being transferred through several major banks, including Bank Melli, Bank Tejarat, Bank Mellat, and Bank Refah Kargaran. Retirees who receive their pensions from other banking institutions are also scheduled to receive their payments throughout the day.
Phased Rollout for Comprehensive Coverage
A segment of ‘Group A’ retirees who bank with Bank Refah Kargaran have already been included in today’s transactions. According to the established schedule, the distribution of funds for other retirees and pensioners will continue gradually in the coming days. The organization has affirmed that this payment cycle is designed to include all eligible retirees and pensioners who have not yet received their full arrears.
Addressing Broader Financial Commitments
In a parallel development, the Social Security Organization has outlined plans to address its obligations to contracted medical centers and supplementary health insurance. This will be facilitated through resources obtained from the issuance of 70 trillion tomans in Islamic financial bonds. The stated objective of this initiative is the complete settlement of outstanding debts to prevent any interruption in the provision of essential healthcare services.
The organization’s broader financial strategy involves the gradual liquidation of its estimated 185 trillion toman claims on the government, which comprise both the mentioned bonds and other assets. These resources are being systematically converted into liquid funds to finance pension payments, clear arrears, and settle treatment-related debts.
The Social Security Organization has reiterated its commitment to conducting all payment stages with utmost precision and transparency, ensuring that retirees and medical service providers receive their dues without unnecessary delay.
