After submitting a retirement application, pension payments begin at the start of the month following the application date. For example, if a person subject to the pension fund submits their retirement request on June 18, 2022, their pension will start on July 1, 2022.
When Is the First Pension Payment Made?
The timing of the first pension payment varies depending on the SSK allocation number or the BAĞ-KUR registration number. For instance, a retiree whose SSK allocation number ends with 9 receives their first pension on the 17th of the month following submission of the retirement application. A person whose allocation number ends with 5 will receive their first payment on the 19th of the following month. You can find the specific payment dates according to SSK and BAĞ-KUR registration and allocation numbers in the sections below.
On Which Date Do SSK Retirees Receive Their Pension?
The pension payment schedule for retirees covered under 4A (SSK) is as follows:
- Those whose allocation number ends with 9 receive payment on the 17th of each month,
- Those ending with 7 on the 18th,
- Those ending with 5 on the 19th,
- Those whose allocation number ends with 3 on the 20th,
- Those ending with 1 on the 21st,
- Those ending with 8 on the 22nd,
- Those ending with 6 on the 23rd,
- Those ending with 4 and 2 receive payments on the 23rd and 24th respectively each month.
In this arrangement, 4A SSK retirees begin receiving payments from the 17th of the month following their retirement application. Each retiree’s specific payment date is determined by their allocation code. Those whose allocation code ends with 0 receive their first pension on the 26th of the month after the application is submitted.
On Which Date Do BAĞ-KUR Retirees Receive Their Pension?
The pension payment schedule for BAĞ-KUR retirees is as follows:
- Those whose BAĞ-KUR allocation number ends with 7, 9, or 5 receive payment on the 25th of each month,
- Those ending with 3 or 1 on the 26th,
- Those ending with 8, 6, or 4 on the 27th,
- Those ending with 2 or 0 on the 28th.
BAĞ-KUR retirees who submit a retirement application will receive their first pension payment starting on the 25th of the month following submission, according to their allocation number schedule.
