Rewritten Title: New Wave of Social Support Payments Commences, Bolstering Household Economic Security
Article:
In a significant move to bolster social welfare, Iran’s Social Security Organization has announced the timely disbursement of child benefits for pensioners and survivors, set to be deposited into beneficiaries’ accounts by October 6, 2024. This initiative directly addresses living cost concerns for thousands of Iranian families.
Clarifying Recent Rumors
The announcement comes alongside an official denial of recent rumors suggesting the elimination of child benefits for survivors. A senior official from the Tehran Provincial Social Security Organization clarified, “The child benefit has not been removed. Its payment was only temporarily delayed due to systemic reviews and the intelligent automation of data processes.”
This development is part of the organization’s broader efforts to implement a cabinet decree from September 2024, which focuses on a 56 percent average increase in pensions. Official statistics indicate that the child benefit for 2024 has seen a 100 percent increase, reaching 1,719,000 Tomans per child, playing a key role in supporting lower-income families.
Addressing Temporary Discrepancies
Following the disbursement of September pensions, some survivors reported that the child benefit had been deducted from their payment slips. The organization explained this was a result of the automated updating of case files and verification with relevant authorities. The deductions systematically applied only to cases where legal conditions, such as a child’s age or case status, had changed, and were not a blanket policy change.
The Social Security Organization has assured the public that no changes have been made to the benefits of the vast majority of pensioners and survivors, emphasizing that these adjustments are temporary.
Organizational Solutions and Procedures
In an official statement, the organization outlined its corrective measures: “With the implementation of new regulations and data updates, software modifications are being carried out by the Insurance Deputy and the Information Technology Center. These issues will be resolved by the month of Mehr (late September/early October), and payment corrections will be reflected in this month’s pensions.”
To expedite resolutions for affected individuals, the organization has requested that inquiries be submitted exclusively through the dedicated phone line (1420) or the official portal at https://1420.tamin.ir. Upon submitting a request, a tracking code will be provided via SMS.
A Commitment to Social Justice
From an economic perspective, this payment is not only a social support mechanism but also a tool to help households manage recent economic pressures. The payments are seen by economic experts as a positive step towards enhancing livelihood stability for vulnerable families.
A member of parliament and head of the retirees’ faction confirmed the resolution, stating on social media, “In cooperation with the Social Security Organization, the child benefit issue has been resolved and will soon be included in payment slips. This is a victory for all survivors.”
This new wave of support payments underscores the government’s ongoing commitment to social justice and economic stability for its citizens. For the latest official updates, beneficiaries are advised to follow the Social Security Organization’s official website.
