SGK announced: Advance good news for EYT members

With the official implementation of the EYT regulation, more than 2 million people have been able to retire. Social Security Institution (SGK) employees examine the files of those who apply for EYT day and night and reach a decision. Advance good news came for EYT members whose salary was delayed. The General Directorate of SGK Pension Services announced that there is an advance arrangement for those who cannot receive their pension within 90 days. In the SGK Circular No. 2018/38 on the official website of the institution, it includes the advance arrangement for the retired candidates who have not been paid within 90 days despite applying for retirement. According to the regulation, EYT members can request advance payment from SGK. Retired candidates who have not been paid yet despite applying for retirement on March 3, 2023, when EYT was officially launched, will be able to request an advance from the institution after June 2.

Advances will be deducted from monthly

Advances paid will be deducted from the paid pension. According to the regulation, if the pension cannot be paid within 90 days, the persons determined to be entitled to a pension by the SGK can be paid an advance to be deducted from their future pension receivables, if they make a written request.

How much will the advance amount be?

The relevant section of the circular numbered 2018/38 of the General Directorate of Pension Services includes the following statements: “In the event that the insured and beneficiaries requesting allocation to the Institution cannot be granted income and pension within 90 days, the insured and beneficiaries, who are understood to be entitled to an income and pension by the Institution, shall make a written request. If they are found, an advance may be paid to be deducted from their future receivables. The amount of advance shall be determined by the Institution for three months, not to exceed three times the net minimum wage for pensions to be paid and twice the net minimum wage for incomes. It will be deducted by deducting 1/4 from their income and pensions.
