The increase rate for Bağkur and SSK retirees will be finalized with the inflation data to be announced by TÜİK on July 3. The inflation difference for the past 5 months was announced as 15.09%. After the monthly inflation rate to be announced on July 3, the 6-month increase rate for retirement pensions will also be clarified.
THE LOWEST RETIREMENT PENSION WILL INCREASE
The ruling AK Party is preparing to amend the additional 19th article of the Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law No. 5510, which regulates the lowest retirement pension, in order to prevent the grievances of retirees whose base salaries fall below the legally determined minimum salary due to the current situation.
A PROPOSAL WILL BE SUBMITTED TO THE PARLIAMENT FOR THE LOWEST RETIREMENT PENSION
According to the information received, the lowest retirement pension, which was raised to 14,469 lira in January considering the previous inflation, will be increased again after the inflation data is announced by TÜİK on July 3. A bill proposing an amendment to the law to increase the pensions of retirees receiving 14,469 lira by the 6-month inflation rate will be prepared and submitted to the Presidency of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey in the first week of July. The pensions of retirees whose base salaries fall below the newly determined lowest retirement pension will also be raised to the new amount. The difference will be covered by the Treasury. Regulations were also made regarding those whose base salary was below the lowest retirement pension in the previous July and January. With the regulation made by law in July 2024, the lowest retirement pension was raised to 12,500 lira, and in January 2025, it was increased to 14,469 lira.
THE LOWEST RETIREMENT PENSION WILL APPROACH 17,000
The monthly inflation was announced as 5.03% for January, 2.27% for February, 2.46% for March, 3.00% for April, and 1.53% for May. Thus, the total of the 5-month inflation figures became 14.29%. If the inflation for June is 2%, SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will receive a 17.4% increase, while civil servants and civil servant retirees will receive a 10.74% increase. In a similar scenario, the lowest retirement pension, which is paid as 14,469 lira, will increase by 2,517 lira and will be 16,986 lira.
