The attention is now focused on the work to be done for the payment of retirement holiday bonuses. Minister of Labor and Social Security, Vedat Işıkhan, announced that the work will be carried out, and the meeting schedule has been determined. Last year, approximately 16 million retirees benefited from holiday bonuses, which increased to 3,000 Turkish Liras with a 50% raise. This year, holiday bonuses will be paid during both Ramadan and Eid al-Adha. In addition to retirees, widows, orphans receiving allowances, elderly allowance recipients, and other beneficiaries will also benefit from the payments. So how much will retirement holiday bonuses be in 2025? Here are the scenarios regarding the bonus increase…With the approach of Eid al-Fitr, attention has turned to the retirement holiday bonus payments. Since 2018, retirees have been receiving bonuses before the holidays. Retirees from the SSK, Bağ-Kur, and Retirement Fund receive their payments through the banks where they receive their pensions. With the new year, family support payments, disability pensions, elderly allowances, and many other social benefits have increased. Retirees, however, are focused on the increase in retirement holiday bonuses. While Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan has pointed to upcoming work, the meeting date has been set. So, by what percentage will retirement holiday bonuses increase in 2025? Here is the calculation for retirement holiday bonuses…Retirement holiday bonuses are deposited into accounts twice a year. Last year, they were raised to 3,000 Turkish Liras with a 50% increase, and this year’s increase has not been determined yet. The new regulation on holiday bonuses will be discussed at the Economy Coordination Board Meeting held in Giresun on February 21. If, as in the previous year, retirement holiday bonuses are increased by 50%, they will rise to 4,500 Turkish Liras. With a 40% increase, they will amount to 4,200 liras, and a 30% increase will raise them to 3,900 liras. In 2025, Eid al-Fitr will fall on March 30th, while Eid al-Adha will begin on June 6th. Retirement holiday bonuses have been regularly paid since 2018. The bonus payments are transferred to accounts approximately one week before the holiday. Retirees will be able to receive their bonus payments through the banks where they receive their pensions.SSK, Bağ-Kur, Retirement Fund Retirees,
