When will the retirement holiday bonus be paid? Eyes on the upcoming announcement from the Ministry

The payment dates for the retirement holiday bonus are on the agenda of millions of retirees before the upcoming 2025 Ramadan holiday. Every year, retirees wonder about the date of the holiday bonuses deposited before the holiday by the government. So, when will the retirement holiday bonus be paid? Ramadan holiday will be celebrated on March 29th this year. Every year, holiday bonuses given to retirees are received not only by SSK, Bağ-Kur, and Retirement Fund retirees but also by widows, orphans, families of martyrs, veterans, and champion athletes. Last year, with a 50% increase, the holiday bonuses rose to 3,000 liras, but the amount of the increase for this year has not been announced yet. Minister of Labor and Social Security, Vedat Işıkhan, had announced that work is being done to increase the bonuses. Last year, the retirement holiday bonus payments started to be deposited into retirees’ accounts one week before the holiday. Before the 2025 Ramadan holiday, it is expected that the payments will be made in the week of March 24-28. The bonuses will be transferred to accounts through the banks where retirees receive their pensions, based on the last digit of their allocation number.
