Retiree bonus passes committee

The article providing for a 50 percent increase in the holiday bonus to be given to retirees, setting the payment at 3,000 TL, has been accepted by the Parliamentary Justice Commission. Retirees are now looking toward the date when their 3,000 TL bonuses will be paid.

WHEN WILL IT BE DEPOSITED INTO RETIREES' ACCOUNTS?

Economist Özgür Erdursun, who frequently makes headlines with his statements, noted that it would not be a desired situation for retirees to head to the polls feeling angry before the March 31 elections. He stated that the Ramadan holiday bonus for retirees, which would normally be expected to be deposited into accounts between April 1-7, could be paid out before the elections.

Özgür Erdursun stated that before the March 31 elections, retirees could be provided with a lump sum of money through both a regulation on the lowest pension and by moving up the bonus payments.

It is stated that the most suitable date for the retiree bonuses, which are expected to be deposited before the March 31 elections, is the week of March 25-29.
