The results of the second meeting to determine the pension increase

Hoping for a 57.4% increase in the pension of all retirees

A small problem of a comma!

According to Ilna’s reporter, today (April 17th) the second meeting to determine the pension of labor retirees was held with the presence of the members of the Supreme Council of Retirees, the CEO of the Social Security Organization and the experts of this organization.
Ali Dehghankia (Chairman of Tehran Labor Retired Association) said in relation to the outcome of this meeting: After more than two hours of negotiation, the meeting did not reach a definite result and was terminated. The workers’ proposal is a 57.4% increase in the minimum pension and other levels, which fortunately, the CEO of the Social Security Organization has a positive view of this issue and agrees.
Regarding the reason why the meeting did not reach a conclusion, he said: The increase in the pension of social security retirees after the proposal of the CEO of the organization must be approved by the board of ministers. There is a small typographical error in the budget law of 1401, and that is that in note 12 of the budget law, when the pension increase of the government sub-category funds is specified by ten percent, there is a wrong comma; written “Social Security Fund, Armed Forces”; While it means the social security fund of the armed forces or the Lashgari fund. This typographical error brought social security under the government funds and considered a 10% pension increase. For this reason, the organization’s experts argued that if a 57.4% pension increase is sent to the government before these issues are resolved, it will contradict this budget item and will not be approved.
But what is the solution? Dehghankia says: In this regard, to solve these small problems, verbally negotiated with the parliament; A written request must be sent to the Laws Implementation Commission of the Parliament; And since the budget law of the newspaper has been made official, it should be made official again after amending the newspaper.
He expressed hope: this problem will be solved quickly and in the coming days; The CEO of the organization promised that this issue will be resolved soon by correspondence with the parliament. Everything is ready for a 57.4% increase in the pension of social security retirees, and we hope that new orders will be issued very soon.
