The work on increasing the lowest retirement salaries continues. AK Party Group Chairman Abdullah Güler said, “We will announce it at the beginning of next week” regarding the issue.

With the increase that will affect millions of retirees, the lowest pension is expected to rise to 12-13 thousand liras.

Although Bağ-Kur and SSK are under the same roof, payment dates vary depending on the institution. In determining the payment date for Bağ-Kur and SSK retirees, the last two digits of the retirement allocation number are taken into account. Bağ-Kur retirees whose last two digits of their retirement allocation number are 5, 7 and 9 receive their retirement salary on the 25th of each month. Those whose last two digits are 3 and 1 are entitled to receive their salary on the 26th of each month, while those whose last two digits are 4, 6 and 8 receive their salaries on the 27th of each month. The last salary payment day for Bağ-Kur retirees is the 28th of each month, and those whose last two digits are 0 and 2 are also included in this scope.

SSK retirees receive their salaries according to the last digit of their allocation number. Those whose last digit is 9 are entitled to receive their salaries on the 17th of each month, those whose last digit is 7 on the 18th, those whose last digit is 5 on the 19th, those whose last digit is 3 on the 20th and those whose last digit is 1 on the 21st of each month. Those whose last digit of their retirement allocation number is 8 receive their salaries on the 22nd of each month, those whose last digit is 6 on the 23rd, those whose last digit is 4 on the 24th, those whose last digit is 2 on the 25th and those whose last digit is 0 on the 26th of each month.

DIFFERENCE PAID TO THE LOWEST RETIREMENT PERSON MAY EXCEED 100 PERCENT

When a pensioner with a basic salary of 6 thousand liras is given a salary of 10 thousand liras, the difference is 66 percent. When a pensioner with a basic salary of 6 thousand liras is given a salary of 13 thousand liras, this difference increases to 116 percent.
