Salary increase will cover all retirees, including EYT members

The article regarding the increase of the pension by 25 percent in total, together with the inflation difference, was added to the bill that was discussed in the Plan and Budget Committee of the Grand National Assembly of Turkey. With the items added to the proposal, Pension Fund, Bağ-Kur and SSK retirees will receive a 25 percent increase in total for 6 months of the year. The regulation will enter into force on the date of its publication, to be implemented as of July. Ankara Yıldırım Beyazıt University Lecturer Tarkan Zengin, who made evaluations on the subject to TRT Haber, said; “We evaluated the possibility of a welfare share from the statement made by the President. We saw that it was 25 percent. There was a slight increase compared to the current collective agreement and the law. It corresponds to 5.23 percent in SSK and Bağkur retirees in terms of welfare share. It corresponds to an increase of 7.45 percent in civil servant retirees. Although it is stated as 6.34 percent in the offer for civil servants, this is because 6.34 percent will be reflected on 17.34 percent. Therefore, this is 25 percent in civil servant retirees. There is no shortage there.

EYT members will also benefit from this additional increase, that is, the increase increased to 25 percent in every way. Since yesterday, it has been intensely expressed on social media channels that the law proposal is as if it would not be one of the proposals in the proposal in the commission. In Article 29 of our Law No. 5510, it is explained there in the calculation of the old-age pension, which is known as the retirement pension in the public, and finally it is said; He says that those who retire in the first 6 months of the year will benefit from the increase in January, and those who retire in the second half of the year, until July and December, will benefit from the increase in January in addition to the increase in January. Therefore, it is very clear that the retirees will benefit from this additional increase in any case. Moreover, when we look at the proposal, it is stated in paragraph b of the temporary article that those who will retire in 2023 will also benefit from this increase.
