Title: Social Security Implements Phased Payment Schedule for Retirees
In a move to address outstanding pension payments, the Iranian Social Security Organization has initiated a structured disbursement plan. According to Mohammad Asadi, head of the Social Security Retirees Association, the process of clearing arrears began last month.
Payment Tiers and Progress
Asadi confirmed that retirees receiving less than 20 million Tomans in monthly pensions have already received their payments for the month of Farvardin (March-April). He also noted that survivors’ benefits, aligned with the Shahrivar (August-September) payment cycle, have been settled.
Schedule for Higher Pension Brackets
For pensioners whose benefits exceed 20 million Tomans, the payment process commenced on the 21st of Mehr (October 12-13). This phased approach ensures a systematic and orderly distribution of funds across the retiree community.
Disbursement Methodology
The administration of these payments is being carried out efficiently through the national banking system. Asadi highlighted that transfers are being processed alphabetically across all banks, including Bank Refah, to streamline the procedure and ensure all eligible recipients are reached in a timely manner. This methodical rollout underscores the government’s commitment to fulfilling its obligations to its retired citizens.
