The details of the retroactive premium debt deductions implemented by the Social Security Institution since the beginning of the year have been revealed. For Bağ-Kur, SSK, and Emekli Sandığı debts detected later, a maximum deduction of 10 percent and one-quarter can be made from salaries. For those receiving more than one pension, the deduction will be calculated separately for each pension.
The details regarding the premium debt deductions implemented by the Social Security Institution (SGK) since the beginning of the year have been clarified. Subsequently detected Bağ-Kur, SSK, and Pension Fund premium debts can be directly collected from retirement, widow, and orphan pensions. Legal limits will be taken as the basis for the deductions.
SUBSEQUENTLY DETECTED DEBTS WILL BE DEDUCTED FROM SALARY
The question marks within the scope of the practice carried out by SGK have found answers with the latest information. According to the system that has been in effect since the beginning of the year; even if retroactive premium debts are detected after pensions have been granted to individuals, they can be collected from the salaries. Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University (AYBÜ) Lecturer Tarkan Özçetin, who made evaluations on the subject, used the following statements: "If there are premium debts known as Bağ-Kur, Pension Fund, or SSK, deductions can also be made regarding these premium debts. If SGK detects these debts after granting the retirement pension, it can resort to collecting them from the salary."
LEGAL LIMIT IN DEDUCTION RATES
There are certain limits for the deduction rates to be applied to salaries for debts subsequently detected by the institution. Özçetin, who explained the upper limit for the collection to be made from the salary, conveyed the details of the regulation with the following words: "There is a regulation stating that the deductions can be at most one quarter of the salary, and also that these deductions cannot exceed 10 percent of the salaries."
HOW WILL THE CALCULATION BE MADE FOR THOSE RECEIVING MORE THAN ONE SALARY?
Within the scope of the regulation, for citizens receiving more than one pension, deductions are evaluated separately over each pension. According to legal rules, someone else's debt is not imposed on a person receiving their own retirement pension; however, if there is a debt due to a deceased spouse, a separate deduction can be applied to both pensions. Tarkan Özçetin gave the following example regarding this situation: "If both the spouse's premium debt is detected later and if there is a premium debt of their own, there is a regulation that a deduction of 10 percent can be made from their own salary and also a deduction of 10 percent from the salary they receive due to the deceased spouse, corresponding to this premium debt."
