On Which Days Are Pension Payments Made?
On which days are pensions paid? After meeting the conditions required for retirement and submitting your retirement application, the Social Security Institution (SGK) assigns a specific number. This assigned number is called the allocation (Tahsis) number. The purpose of the allocation number is to let you track easily on which day your pension and any differences will be deposited into your account. With your allocation number, you can follow many public transactions online through the e-Government (e-Devlet) system. After logging into e-Government, you can perform SGK inquiries and track documents by querying the allocation number to learn your payment schedule and related procedures.
