After the statement made by AK Party Group Chairman Abdullah Güler on Monday regarding the increase of the holiday bonuses for retirees from 3,000 lira to 4,000 lira, the focus turned to the legislative arrangements in the Parliament.
WILL BE DEPOSITED INTO ACCOUNTS AFTER PASSING IN PARLIAMENT
It is expected that the holiday bonuses for retirees will also pass through the Parliament as part of the omnibus law. It is anticipated that the law passed by the Parliament will come into effect after being signed by President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan and published in the Official Gazette. Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan stated that the holiday bonuses will be deposited into the accounts of retirees after passing through the Parliament.
WHO WILL NOT RECEIVE THE BONUS?
Details regarding the bonus have already become a topic of curiosity. Economic writer Noyan Doğan provided information in his column about who will and will not receive the increased holiday bonus. Doğan stated, "Those who receive retirement pensions from private funds such as banks and insurance will not be paid the holiday bonus. Those who receive multiple retirement pensions will not receive separate retirement pensions; only one bonus will be paid based on the file that allows for the highest payment."
Here is the relevant part of the article;
"Those who receive retirement pensions, old-age pensions, disability pensions, death pensions, and permanent incapacity income from the Social Security Institution (SGK), as well as the relatives of martyrs, veterans, combat veterans, security guards, champion athletes, and civilian citizens affected by terrorism, along with their rightful heirs, will receive the holiday bonus.
Those who receive multiple retirement pensions will not receive separate retirement pensions; only one bonus will be paid based on the file that allows for the highest payment. A person who receives both a retirement pension and a death pension will receive a bonus of 1,000 lira due to their own retirement. For those receiving widow and orphan pensions, the bonuses will be deposited in proportion to the shares of the rightful heirs. For example, a person receiving a death pension at a 50% share due to the death of their spouse will receive a bonus of 2,000 lira, while a person receiving a death pension at a 75% share will receive 3,000 lira. An orphan receiving a pension at a 25% share will receive a bonus of 1,000 lira.
"THOSE RECEIVING RETIREMENT PENSIONS FROM PRIVATE FUNDS..."
Those receiving permanent incapacity income from occupational accident and disease insurance will be able to receive holiday bonuses based on their degree of incapacity. Those who submit their retirement application by March 15 will be able to receive 4,000 lira holiday bonuses during Ramadan and Eid al-Adha.
Those who submit their retirement application after April 1 will not be able to receive the 4,000 lira bonus for Ramadan, but the bonus for Eid al-Adha will be deposited into their accounts. Those receiving retirement pensions from private funds such as banks and insurance will not be paid the holiday bonus. Holiday bonuses will be deposited into the accounts of retirees just before the 30 March Ramadan and 6 June Eid al-Adha.
