Subheading: Swift Action on Backlog as Pension Fund Delivers Key Financial Support
In a significant move to address retirees’ financial concerns, the head of Iran’s Civil Servants Pension Fund, Hojat Mirzaei, announced the clearance of four overdue payments within just one month. The measures include critical loan disbursements and pending adjustments, marking a major step forward in fulfilling the government’s commitments to retirees.
Marriage Loans for Retirees’ Children Roll Out in Phases
Mirzaei confirmed that the first phase of the 60-million-toman marriage loan for retirees’ children will be paid by the end of the current month. Eligible applicants who have completed registration and document submissions will receive the loan in two prioritized stages, with the first installment arriving imminently.
Emergency Loans and Pension Adjustments Accelerated
Additionally, the third phase of the 50-million-toman emergency loan will soon be deposited for approximately 30,000 qualifying retirees. This marks the second such payment within the month, demonstrating the Pension Fund’s accelerated efforts to support retirees in need.
Mirzaei also highlighted progress on pension adjustments for self-employed retirees, noting that official decrees have been issued, with payments scheduled by the end of September.
Retired Teachers’ Arrears Fully Settled
In another milestone, the second and final installment of 2021 retired teachers’ pending claims will be paid alongside their current month’s pensions, fully resolving this longstanding obligation.
Ongoing Commitment to Retiree Welfare
The fifth installment of the 2024 pension adjustment—out of a planned 10—will also be processed this month. Mirzaei praised the close coordination between the Plan and Budget Organization and the implementing bank, emphasizing the Pension Fund’s dedication to securing resources for retirees’ rightful dues through intensive interagency collaboration.
This wave of payments reflects the government’s proactive approach to resolving retirees’ financial concerns, ensuring timely support for those who have served the nation.
