Attention Pensioners: Automatic Salary Cuts Begin!
A new legal regulation, which is of great concern to millions of retirees with social security debt, has been implemented. Retirees with outstanding debts will have deductions made automatically from their pensions, without the need for any approval document or debt collection process. Social Security Expert Isa Karakas has clarified the group for whom the pension will be cut and those who will not be affected.
Cuts are starting in retirement pensions.
Social Security Expert Isa Karakas explained the deductions in pension salaries in his column in the Turkey newspaper. Karakas shared who will have their salaries cut and who will not face any deductions. According to the information provided by Karakas, the process will operate entirely automatically, without seeking the consent of individuals.
With the new regulation, many sectors receiving a monthly income or revenue from the Social Security Institution (SGK) have been included in the deduction list.
10% Deduction: Whose Salaries will be Cut?
The groups for which debts will be directly deducted from their salaries are listed as follows:
Those who earn income due to permanent incapacity to work as a result of an occupational accident or disease,
Insured individuals who have been granted old-age, disability, duty disability, or retirement pensions,
Those who have been identified as having a debt for the General Health Insurance (GHS) premium for past periods after the completion of retirement procedures,
Spouses, children, mothers, and fathers who are beneficiaries of insured individuals who lost their lives while actively working.
The debt will only be deducted from the pension granted in the debtor's own name. For those receiving multiple pensions, a separate 10% deduction can be applied from each salary. However, the salaries of close relatives who are not beneficiaries of the debtor will not be touched under any circumstances.
Groups that will not be subject to salary deductions.
Certain retirees and beneficiaries with special status have been exempted from this automatic deduction practice. According to the information provided by Social Security Expert Isa Karakas, the groups that cannot be subjected to any deductions from their pensions are as follows:
Special athlete pensions granted to successful athletes,
Pensions granted due to damages incurred during terrorist activities and counter-terrorism operations,
Honor pensions directly financed by the state treasury.
Pension Deduction List
In the case of accumulation of multiple types of debt, collections will be initiated starting from the oldest dated debt that has not expired. The priority order in the deduction list has been determined as follows:
General Health Insurance (GHI) premium debts,
Former voluntary, group, and agricultural insurance debts under the scope of 4/1a (SSK),
Insurance debts within the scope of Additional Articles 5 and 6,
Mandatory insurance debts under 4/1b (BağKur),
Debts, ongoing interests, and adjustment corrections under the scope of 4/1c (Pension Fund).
On the other hand, citizens whose pensions have been deducted by the Social Security Institution (SGK) on the grounds of debt can file an objection.
