The long-awaited bonus payments for retirees are continuing. Since the discussions in the Turkish Grand National Assembly (TBMM) did not take place for the additional increase of one thousand lira for 2025, it was suggested that the old amounts be deposited into accounts before the holiday, while the additional amounts would be deposited after the holiday.
The process continues for the holiday bonus that millions of retirees have been waiting for during Ramadan. While the first payments for those receiving monthly payments under SSK (4a) were made yesterday, the schedule is still in progress for the remaining ones. Today, the bonuses for SSK retirees who are insured with numbers 20, 21, and 22 have started to be deposited into their accounts. BAĞ-KUR (4b) retirees will receive their bonuses on March 27.
It is expected that the discussions regarding the increase in the retirement bonus will be addressed in the first session of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM), but due to the approaching Ramadan holiday, the old amounts are being deposited into accounts before the new regulation is completed. Since it became clear that the proposal to be approved in the TBMM might take time to be published in the Official Gazette and come into effect after the Ramadan holiday, it was decided to ensure that the old amounts are deposited before the holiday to prevent retirees from being disadvantaged.
3,000 LIRA IS BEING DEPOSITED INTO ACCOUNTS FOR THE HOLIDAY BONUS
In a statement made from the official social media account of the Social Security Institution of Turkey (T.C. Sosyal Güvenlik Kurumu), the payment days for the holiday bonus of 3,000 TL were announced.
Accordingly;
Payment day for those receiving monthly payments under SSK (4a):
March 24 for those with numbers 17, 18, 19
March 26 for those with numbers 23, 24, 25, 26
March 25 for those with numbers 20, 21, 22
Payment day for those receiving monthly payments under BAĞ-KUR (4b): March 27
Payment day for those receiving monthly payments under the Retirement Fund (4c): March 28, along with the April period payments.
The statement also included, "Following the enactment and publication of the ongoing legislative work in the TBMM regarding the increase in the holiday bonus amount in the Official Gazette, the payment of the difference amounts will be carried out as soon as possible."
