Title: Final Phase of Pension Adjustments Set for Mid-Autumn, Social Security Announces
Article:
A significant step is being taken to finalize pension adjustments for a specific group of Social Security retirees in Iran. According to officials, the third and final phase of payments to clear the remaining arrears from the Nowruz (March) salary adjustments is scheduled for completion by mid-Mehr 1404 (early October 2025).
Clarifying the Payment Timeline
While an official announcement from the central Social Security Organization is still pending, regional directors have provided clarity. Based on statements from the Head of Kermanshah Province’s Social Security Office, the process to settle the outstanding balances for pensioners and survivors is programmed to conclude by the 15th of Mehr. These payments are part of the ongoing pension harmonization plan initiated earlier this year.
Which Pension Groups Have Been Paid?
To date, the organization has successfully settled all arrears for the majority of its pensioners. Official reports confirm that retirees and disability pensioners receiving monthly payments of up to 20 million Tomans have had their balances cleared in the first and second payment phases. The Social Security Organization has stated it holds no remaining debt for this particular group.
Addressing the Remaining Beneficiaries
The outstanding payments are for two key demographics:
- Retirees with pension amounts higher than 20 million Tomans.
- Survivor pensioners (including spouses, children, or other dependents of deceased pensioners).
Authorities have attributed the delay for these groups to liquidity management considerations but have reaffirmed a structured plan to resolve their cases by the specified mid-Autumn date.
Looking Ahead
Concurrently, the organization has outlined the schedule for the upcoming Mehr 1404 pension payments, which are set to be deposited between the 28th and 30th of the month. This process will be conducted alphabetically based on recipients’ last names, a measure implemented for efficient resource management and system updates.
In the absence of a formal central announcement, pensioners awaiting the final adjustment payments are advised to monitor the official Social Security Organization website and its communication channels for the most direct and confirmed updates. The commitment to resolving these payments underscores the ongoing implementation of the state’s social welfare policies.
