Iranian Retirees to Receive Back Payments and September Pensions on Set Schedule
In a significant development for Iran’s retired community, the Social Security Organization has announced the official disbursement schedule for both long-awaited back payments and the upcoming September pension.
Back Payments to Commence This Week
Retirees under the social security system are set to receive a major payment this month. In addition to their regular September pension, they will also be paid the outstanding balance from the previous Iranian calendar year. According to retiree advocacy groups, this back payment is estimated to be a substantial sum for each beneficiary.
The process of paying these arrears is scheduled to begin on Saturday, September 6, 2025. The organization has stated that minimum-wage pensioners and those on disability benefits will be prioritized in the first phase of this disbursement. The payments for retirees in other pension brackets are planned to follow and will be completed within the subsequent two weeks.
Pension Payment Schedule for September
Alongside the arrears, the standard pension schedule for the current month has also been confirmed. Payments for social security retirees will be made on September 20, 21, and 22. Retirees from the state sector will receive their pensions on September 21, while military retirees will be paid on September 22. The report notes that the exact timing of deposits could vary by one or two days due to operational and administrative procedures.
This announcement brings clarity and reassurance to retirees who have been anticipating these payments, marking a positive step in the administration’s ongoing commitment to its social welfare obligations.
