Title: Iran’s State Pension Fund Disburses Essential Loans, Reinforcing Support for Retirees
In a significant move to bolster the welfare of its pensioners, Iran’s State Pension Fund has announced the simultaneous disbursement of two crucial loan programs. The fund’s acting head, Aladdin Ozji, confirmed that the payments are proceeding on schedule, underscoring the institution’s commitment to providing regular and uninterrupted financial support.
Key Loan Disbursements Underway
The latest phase of the “Essential Loan,” amounting to 50 million Tomans, has been deposited into the accounts of 33,000 eligible retirees. This initiative is a core part of the fund’s ongoing support programs, designed to directly assist pensioners with their living expenses.
HAMPAD Educational Loans Facilitated
In a parallel effort, the fund has also executed payments for the “HAMPAD” educational loan. This program has benefited 257 qualified individuals, supporting their academic pursuits. Specifically, 148 recipients in Master’s degree programs have received 10 million Tomans, while 109 doctoral candidates have been granted 15 million Tomans.
A Pledge for Timely and Equitable Services
Emphasizing the importance of maintaining this momentum, Mr. Ozji stated, “The precise scheduling of payments is one of our main priorities, and we are striving to ensure the fund’s facilities reach retirees with greater speed, accuracy, and fairness.” He further highlighted that the State Pension Fund is actively working to diversify its welfare services, benefits, and programs. This expansion, pursued in collaboration with subsidiary companies and available economic capacities, aims to provide retirees with access to a broader range of advantages.
