When Will Eid Bonus Payments Be Made for SSK and Bağ-Kur Retirees?
According to the Family, Labour and Social Services Ministry, the increased July pensions and Eid al-Adha bonuses will be paid to SSK retirees between July 17 and July 26, 2020. Bağ-Kur retirees will receive their Eid bonuses along with their pensions between July 25 and July 28, 2020.
Minister Zehra Zümrüt Selçuk also explained arrangements for those covered by the Civil Servants’ Pension Fund.

She also extended early holiday wishes for retirees and their families.
