Social Insurance Announces October Pension Payouts and Restorations
The General Organization for Social Insurance in Syria has announced new procedures for the disbursement of retirement pensions for October 2026. The organization confirmed that the upcoming pension issuance will include all outstanding financial arrears as well as pensions that were previously suspended due to security-related reasons, following a comprehensive review of beneficiary files across its provincial branches.
According to an official statement issued on Sunday, the disbursement process is scheduled to commence this coming Tuesday. The organization is coordinating directly with relevant entities, including public banks and the Syrian Postal Establishment, to ensure a smooth distribution process for all beneficiaries.
The General Organization for Social Insurance emphasized that this initiative reflects its commitment to the retired segment of the population. The institution underscored its dedication to ensuring that retirees receive their full financial entitlements, a move aimed at enhancing the living and financial stability of this significant portion of Syrian society.
This measure serves to implement the decision issued by the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic on September 3. The decree explicitly mandates the disbursement of retirement pensions for civil retirees that had been suspended for security reasons prior to December 8, 2024. The decision outlines specific mechanisms for payment, allowing beneficiaries or their legal representatives—acting under a duly certified general or special power of attorney—to collect the funds.
In accordance with official directives, the payment of both accumulated arrears and new retirement pensions for eligible beneficiaries will begin at the start of October 2026. These disbursements will incorporate all legal increases mandated by previous decrees, ensuring the precise calculation of financial entitlements for every retiree.
