What is the latest status of EYT, when will it launch? Minister Bilgin gave the date
The countdown has begun for the EYT, for which millions of citizens have fought for many years, to reach parliament. At EYT, where approximately 5 million people will be entitled to retire, 40 percent of this number is expected to retire.
WHEN WILL EYT COME TO PARLIAMENT?
Labor and Social Security Minister Vedat Bilgin stated that the regulation on the retirement age (EYT) is expected to reach the Grand National Assembly of Turkey this week.
Bilgin responded to journalists’ questions about the EYT deal after the Cabinet Meeting at the Presidential Complex.
Asked if the regulation will go to the Assembly this week, Bilgin said: “I assume EYT will go to the Assembly this week. Because they are meeting with deputies in the group. Our group will turn what they talked about into a bill and they will discuss it in commission.”
HOW MUCH DOES EYT COST?
“Does anything change in the content?” Bilgin responded to the question: “It doesn’t change.” Vedat Bilgin, Minister of Labor and Social Security, “What is the cost of EYT?” On the question, he said that there is an estimate between 120-150 billion lira for this year.
Stating that the numbers being talked about the cost of EYT are not correct, Bilgin said: “We have the numbers, we have the tally. I say 150 billion, but I mean the maximum possible. It can vary between 120-150 billion. Because you don’t know how many people will apply.” he said.
EYT WHEN WILL THE FIRST SALARY BE PAID?
AKP Group Vice President Muhammet Emin Akbaşoğlu said: “We will legislate EYT. We did 4 of 5 steps. We will be able to enact the EYT in February and receive their salaries in March,” he said.
WHO IS COVERED BY EYT?
The proposal to solve the problem of 23 years will cover those who started working before September 8, 1999. There will be no age limit for the EYT, which will benefit 2 million 250 thousand people.
Since the EYT enactment process has not yet taken place, applications made at this time will not be valid. Once the legal process is complete, applications will be made to SSI through e-Government.
BAD NEWS FOR EYT VICTIMS OF INTERNSHIPS AND LEARNING
Approximately 2.5 million people will obtain the right to retirement after the regulation of the age of retirement (EYT). The interns and apprentices, to whom Labor Minister Vedat Bilgin tells: “They are not victims”, want the days they actually work to be counted as bonus days.
The proposal to include the bill, which includes the start of the apprenticeship and the internship as a basis for retirement, was rejected by the AKP-MHP votes.
WHAT ARE THE EYT APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS?
What will be the retirement conditions of EYT members subject to SSK, BAĞ-KUR and Retirement Fund?
For retirement, there is a premium day, an insurance period, and an age requirement. EYT members will be able to retire regardless of age if or when they meet the first two conditions. This is 5,000 days of premium for SSK holders, 20 years for women and 25 years for men. 20 full years (7,200 premium days) for women and 25 full years (9,000 premium days) for men in BAĞ-KUR and Retirement Fund.
CAN I HAVE A PENSION FOR INDEBTEDNESS?
If the insured served in the military before beginning work and the insurance start date was between September 9, 1999 and March 8, 2001, when he incurs 18 months of military debt, the insurance start date will be withdrawn as much as the period they were owed. It is enough for them to get into debt only for the insurance to start on September 8, 1999.
CAN I DO MILITARY INDEBTEDNESS?
Those who enlisted in the military before the date they first insured can advance the date they first insured by incurring military debt. Thus, the date of benefiting from the EYT comes to the fore.
Since the premiums paid for military service and maternity loans and foreign loans are calculated on the current minimum wage, those who submit their service loan application by December 31, 2022 will pay premiums on the minimum wage of this year, and those who request after January 1, 2023 payment premiums on the new minimum wage increased by 54.66 percent.
HOW MUCH WILL EYT PEOPLE RECEIVE?
Pensions vary according to the number of premium days and working hours. Here, there are different levels based on working hours before 2000, between 2000-2008 and after 2008.
First of all, we will wait for the law to come into force. The first salary of those who submitted the withdrawal request in the month of entry into force of the law, will be paid from the first day of the month following the request.
