When Will Salary Differences Be Paid? When Will Pension Increase Differences Be Deposited? (February Retiree Payment Days)

Following the pension increase in January 2025, the question of when salary differences will be paid arose. As the minimum retirement pension was raised from 12,500 TL to 14,469 TL, the relevant regulation passed through Parliament and was published in the Official Gazette, coming into effect. In light of this development, SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees began to search for when salary differences would be deposited. So, have the salary differences been paid? When will pension increase differences be deposited? For the January-July 2025 period, the pension increase rate for retirees was set at 15.75% based on the last 6 months’ inflation data. Within this increase, the minimum pension for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees was raised from 12,500 TL to 14,469 TL. The increase aims to enhance retirees’ purchasing power, with the pension adjustment being published in the Official Gazette and taking effect. As per the regulation, retirees receiving the lowest pension will be paid a difference of 1,969 TL. This development concerns millions of retirees, who are also curious about when the new pensions and salary differences will be deposited. It is expected that SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will receive their January 2025 pension differences along with the February payment. SSK and Bağ-Kur retiree pensions will be paid between the dates of February 17th and 28th, 2025.
