The proposal to raise retirement bonuses from 3,000 lira to 4,000 lira was approved by the Planning and Budget Committee. With the enactment of the law proposal, holiday bonuses will be paid as 4,000 lira during Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha. The additional cost of 1,000 lira in holiday bonuses is estimated to create an additional budget of 28.4 billion lira in 2025. It is expected that 15.5 million retirees will benefit from the regulation.

WHEN WILL HOLIDAY BONUSES BE PAID? Minister of Labor and Social Security Vedat Işıkhan announced that once the 4,000 lira bonus passes through Parliament, it will begin to be transferred to accounts. SSI, Bağ-Kur, and Retirement Fund bonuses will be paid on different days according to the allocation number. This year, payments are expected to be deposited into accounts between March 24th and 28th.
