What Is 4C Service Consolidation and How Is It Done?
To improve retirement conditions, you can request a service consolidation (hizmet birleştirme). Completing service consolidation before retirement helps civil servants by:
- Ensuring timely adjustments (intibak),

Civil servants covered by the Former Pension Fund can combine previous periods worked under SSK or Bağ-Kur before entering civil service. To do this, submit a petition to the personnel or human resources office of your employing institution. The institution completes the application process on your behalf, coordinating with SGK provincial or central directorates to finalize the procedures.
