NTV obtained the details. Welfare share formula for retirees

President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan's statement to retirees after the cabinet meeting drew the attention of more than 18 million retirees to the regulation expected to be made at the end of the year.

In his statement, President Erdoğan said, "In the 2027 budget, we are creating financial opportunities that will improve the situation of our retirees, our crown jewel."

NTV has accessed the details of the planning that the AK Party staff worked on. Accordingly, giving retirees a welfare share in addition to the inflation difference is on the agenda. It is planned to take into account criteria such as retirees' age, income level and working conditions when determining payments.

HOW WILL THE WELFARE SHARE BE GIVEN TO PENSIONERS?

It is envisaged that the data prepared within the scope of the "Income Supplementary Family Support System", which the AK Party has been working on for a long time, will also be used in the new regulation for retirees.

Accordingly, in addition to regional income levels, the economic and social conditions of retirees will also be evaluated.

In the study, it is planned to take into account criteria such as whether retirees are actively working, whether they own a home, whether they have additional income, and their basic needs.

TREASURY SUPPORT FOR THE LOWEST PENSION

According to the plan being worked on, in the first stage, retirees will be given an inflation difference. It is aimed to increase the minimum pension to a certain level with the support of the Treasury.

Then, additional payments to retirees under the name of welfare share will be considered.

The rate of the payment in question may vary depending on criteria such as the number of premium days, age and working status.

HIGHER PAYMENT OPTIONS FOR PENSIONERS OVER 65 YEARS OF AGE

One of the options highlighted in the study is to give a higher welfare share to older retirees.

It is considered that the welfare share should be kept higher for retirees aged 65 and over, who have more limited opportunities to work additional jobs and earn additional income.

AK Party staff state that lowering this age limit to 60 may be on the agenda within the scope of studies that will continue until the end of the year.

WHEN WILL THE REGULATION BE CLARIFICATE?

There is no finalized payment rate or amount in the regulation for retirees yet.

It is expected that the details of who will benefit from the welfare share, according to what criteria and to what extent will be clarified after the studies to be carried out by the end of the year.
