Cleared for Payment: Social Security Organization Settles Pension Arrears
In a significant move to support its retirees, Iran’s Social Security Organization has announced the successful commencement of payments to clear a backlog of pension adjustments.
First Phase of Disbursement Completed
The Organization confirmed that the first phase of payments, covering the arrears from the pension increase enacted in April 2024, has been initiated. These funds were deposited into the accounts of retirees and disability pensioners whose monthly income is less than 20 million tomans. The disbursement was processed over the past week, ensuring timely financial support for eligible recipients.
Subsequent Phases Outlined
A clear schedule has been established for the remaining payments. The second phase is slated to be distributed concurrently with September’s regular pension payment. This round will comprehensively include all survivor pension beneficiaries, such as spouses and daughters.
The third and final phase of the arrears settlement is scheduled for completion shortly after the September pension disbursement, no later than the fifth of the following month. This phase will encompass all other retirees and pensioners across various payment tiers, ensuring comprehensive coverage.
Dedicated Support Channel
For any inquiries regarding these payments, pensioners have access to round-the-clock support. They can contact the dedicated telephone system at 1420 for assistance at any time.
This structured and timely initiative underscores the ongoing commitment to fulfilling pension obligations and providing sustained economic security for retirees.
