Title: Phased Payment of Pension Adjustments Nears Completion, Official Confirms
Article:
A senior official from the Social Security Organization has announced that the third and final phase of payments to clear pension adjustments for retirees is scheduled for completion by mid-autumn. This initiative is part of the organization’s ongoing commitment to fulfilling its obligations to pensioners.
Staged Payments for Financial Management
The payment of these adjustments, which stem from a government-mandated pension harmonization plan, has been strategically implemented in stages. This approach, as previously explained by officials, is designed to ensure robust financial management and prevent any strain on the payment systems, guaranteeing smooth and continuous service for all beneficiaries.
According to reports, the first two payment phases have already been successfully completed. These initial stages fully settled the dues for retirees and disability pensioners with pensions up to a specific threshold.
Focus on Higher Pension Recipients
The upcoming third phase is set to address the remaining adjustments for pensioners whose benefits exceed that threshold, as well as for survivor pension recipients. The head of the Kermanshah province Social Security office clarified that while the earlier payments were comprehensive for the lower-income groups, the final disbursement for others was subject to a carefully managed liquidity schedule to ensure the organization’s long-term financial stability.
Awaiting Final Official Announcement
While the mid-autumn timeline has been publicly stated by a provincial director, the central Social Security Organization has yet to issue a final, official communiqué confirming the exact transfer date for this last phase. Consequently, some pensioners have received varying information through service channels, with some estimates suggesting the process could extend to the end of the autumn month. Retirees are awaiting this definitive announcement for clarity.
Separately, the schedule for depositing the regular monthly pension for the upcoming month has been modified. Payments will now be made during the final three days of the month, distributed alphabetically based on the recipients’ last names, ensuring an organized and efficient process.
