According to IRNA’s report on Friday, from the Social Security Organization, Gholamhossein Mohammadi added: The Social Security Organization pays salaries and pensions to 5,300,000 people monthly without relying directly on the country’s general budget. A figure that is comparable to the total salary earners of the government, while the resources and financial capacities of the government are much wider.
He stated: In the difficult economic conditions of the country, where business activity and employment have been affected by the consequences of the war, the organization’s income sources will naturally decrease, but its obligations and expenses will not only decrease, but also increase in sectors such as short-term obligations, unemployment insurance, and medical expenses.
Referring to the role of the Workers’ Welfare Bank in supporting the obligations of this organization, the head of the Social Security Organization noted: By providing the necessary financial resources through the Welfare Bank, we were able to pay the arrears of the first two months of the year for retirees and pensioners.
Mohammadi also announced the implementation of new welfare programs for retirees and said: “Welfare provision” plan will be implemented starting this month with the aim of increasing the credit purchasing power of retirees. Also, increasing the number of monthly loan facilities for retirees, Zarin Taftim plan, payment of arrears of the supplementary insurance company for retirees, medical service contract centers, conversion of part of the claims received from the government into cash and a number of deferred obligations of the organization in the financial field, are among other measures that are followed by using the capacities and resources of Refah Bank.
He continued: The implementation of this volume of obligations and support programs requires stable financial support, and the organization’s financial and banking capacities provide the possibility of providing wider services and timely fulfillment of obligations to the beneficiaries.
The head of the social security organization noted: The services of this organization are continuous and unstoppable, and it cannot be interrupted even for a few hours. Therefore, maintaining and strengthening the financial and banking capacities supporting the organization has a fundamental role in the sustainability of services and fulfilling its obligations.
Appreciating the cooperation of the Central Bank, the Islamic Council and the government with the Social Security Organization, Mohammadi said: Paying attention to the special position and function of the financial and banking capacities supporting the Social Security Organization is one of the requirements for the continuity of service and the timely fulfillment of obligations to millions of insured and retired people, and it plays an effective role in strengthening trust and social welfare.
