SSI Retirement Increase and EYT Statement

The Social Security Institution (SGK), including pensions paid before 2023, said the pensions of retirees who applied for 2023 were also increased by 30 percent.

Emphasizing that the insured’s pensions are calculated within the framework of the rules determined in the pension system in force during periods of service and on the basis of the monthly claim year, the statement said: “Although there is no change in the day and the income of the insured, the monthly amount according to the year of the claim is different, since the CPI, the growth rate and the monthly increase data for each year are different and may change”.

INCREASED 30 PERCENT

The statement noted:

“Including pensions paid before 2023, the pensions of those who applied for 2023 have also increased by 30 percent. No change has been made to the monthly computation system, and pensions are calculated within the framework of the rules of current legal regulations. In addition, a different monthly calculation will not be made for the insured in the scope of the EYT, and the pensions will be paid taking into account both the CPI and the social participation.

Since the monthly minimum amount has been increased to 5,500 TL according to the latest regulation, the news that the pension is paid below 5,500 TL does not reflect the truth.” (AA)
