With the clarification of the rates of increase in pensions in July 2026, the agenda of millions of retirees has been on the date on which the increased pensions and the resulting salary differences will be deposited into their accounts. Citizens who receive pensions within the scope of SSK, Bağ-Kur and Emekli Sandığı are investigating when the retroactive difference payments will be made, as well as the new salary amounts. So, when will the pension differences be paid? July 2026 When and in what month will the SSK, Bağkur pension increase differences be paid? Detail...
In order for the increase in pensions to come into force, the legal process must first be completed. After the regulation is accepted in the Turkish Grand National Assembly and published in the Official Gazette, new salary calculations will be carried out by the Social Security Institution.
Salary payments for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees are made every month on dates determined according to the last digit of the allocation number. It is expected that the increase rate to be applied in July will be reflected in the monthly payments within the current payment calendar.
Whether salary differences will be paid separately will depend on the effective date of the regulation and the payment plan. If the increased amounts do not meet the current payment period, the differences may be transferred to the accounts as a separate payment.
Retirees need to follow the official statements to be made by the Social Security Institution for exact payment dates.
In July 2026, the salaries of SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees will be recalculated in line with the determined increase rates. While the new salary amounts are expected to be transferred to the accounts on the payment days, it will be clarified in the official calendar whether additional payments will be made for the raise differences that may arise.
Salary payments for SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees are made according to the last digit of the allocation number. For this reason, the date when each retiree will receive their increased salary may vary.
If raise difference payments are made, the dates determined by the Social Security Institution will be shared with the public. Retirees will be able to follow their new monthly amounts and payment details by checking their salary information via e-Government.
Within the scope of 4A, the July 2026 increased salary payments of SSK retired citizens will be made according to the last digit of the allocation number. After the increase rates are applied to monthly salaries, payments are expected to be made gradually between 17-26 July.
Salary payment days for SSK retirees will be as follows:
Those whose allocation number last digit is 9: July 17
Those whose allocation number last digit is 7: July 18
Those whose allocation number last digit is 5: July 19
Those whose allocation number last digit is 3: July 20
Those whose allocation number last digit is 1: July 21
Those whose allocation number last digit is 8: July 22
Those whose allocation number last digit is 6: July 23
Those whose allocation number last digit is 4: July 24
Those whose allocation number last digit is 2: July 25
Allocation number with 0 last digit: 26 July
SSK retirees expect their salaries, as well as any raise differences, to be deposited into their accounts during this payment process or in line with the additional calendar to be announced by SSI.
SSK pensions will be paid according to the last digit of the allocation number in July, as in every month. The payment system is implemented so that retirees can receive their salaries in a regular and planned manner.
Allocation number is the retiree's personal payment information in the Social Security Institution records. Citizens can find out their payment dates according to the last digit of this number.
The payment order in July will be applied as follows:
Allocation numbers ending in 9: 17th of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 7: 18th of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 5: 19th of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 3: 20th of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 1: 21st of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 8: 22nd of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 6: 23rd of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 4: 24th of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 2: 25th of the month
Allocation numbers ending in 0: 26th of the month
Salary payments of citizens receiving pension within the scope of Bağ-Kur are also made according to the last digit of the allocation number. It is expected that the increased salaries will be paid through the same payment system in July 2026.
Payment dates for Bağ-Kur retirees are as follows:
Allocation number with last digit 9, 7 and 5: 25th of the month
Allocation number with last digit 3 and 1: 26th of the month
Allocation number with last digit 8, 6 and 4: 27th of the month
Allocation number with last digit 2 and 0: 28th of the month
Bağ-Kur retirees will also follow up their increased salaries and any difference payments in line with these dates.
If there are public holidays or weekends on payment days, a different application may be made by the Social Security Institution.
Salary payments of citizens within the scope of 4C, known as civil servant retirees, are made with a different system than SSK and Bağ-Kur retirees.
Payments of monthly pension recipients within the scope of the Pension Fund are made according to determined groups and dates of birth. If the payment date falls on a weekend, salary payments can be transferred to the following or previous available day.
Payment dates for retired civil servants in this group are determined according to the day range of their birth dates:
Those whose birth date is between 00-40: 1st of the month
Those whose birth date is between 41-46: 2nd of the month
Those whose birth date is between 47-49: 3rd of the month
Those whose birth date is between 50-53: 4th of the month
Those whose birth date is between 54-99: 5th of the month
Payment dates for pension fund members in the second group:
Those whose birth date is between 00-22: 1st of the month
Those whose birth date is between 23-28: 2nd of the month
Those whose birth date is between 29-48: 3rd of the month
Those whose birth date is between 49-54: 4th of the month
Those whose birth date is between 54-99: 5th of the month
The payment plan for retired civil servants in the third group is as follows:
Those whose birth date is between 00-33: 1st of the month
Those whose birth date is between 34-37: 2nd of the month
Those whose birth date is between 38-40: 3rd of the month
Those whose birth date is between 41-43: 4th of the month
Those whose birth date is between 44-99: 5th of the month
With the July 2026 pension increases, the expectation of millions of citizens is that the new pensions and salary differences, if any, will be transferred to the accounts as soon as possible. While payment dates vary within the scope of SSK, Bağ-Kur and Emekli Sandığı, the exact raise difference calendar will be clarified after the announcement of the Social Security Institution.
Retirees will be able to access their payment details by checking their salary movements through their bank accounts or through the e-Government system.
