Title: Government Fulfills Pension Pledge: March Arrears Disbursed to Retirees
In a significant move to support its retired workforce, the Iranian government has initiated the disbursement of outstanding pension payments for the month of Farvardin (March). This action underscores the administration’s ongoing commitment to the welfare of its citizens, particularly those who have served the nation for decades.
Payment Process Now Underway
According to reports, the process of paying the March arrears to retired workers who receive a monthly pension of more than 20 million Tomans began yesterday. The payments are being processed gradually and are expected to reach all eligible beneficiaries in a timely manner. Recipients have confirmed that disbursements are actively being made, with some groups receiving their funds immediately.
Previous Payments for Lower-Income Pensioners
This latest disbursement follows the prior completion of payments for minimum-wage pensioners and survivors of deceased retirees. This step-by-step approach ensures a systematic and orderly distribution of funds across all segments of the retiree community.
Upcoming Regular Pension for October
Looking ahead, the regular pension for the current month of Mehr (October) for Social Security retirees is also scheduled for payment. These funds will be deposited in the final three days of the month, with the distribution order based on the alphabetical order of recipients’ last names.
This coordinated effort to clear arrears and maintain the schedule for regular payments highlights the government’s focus on providing consistent and reliable financial support to its retired population.
