The Media Center for the Presidency of the Council of Ministers stated about the news that was circulated on social media, social media pages, and some websites regarding the freezing of pension payments during the first four months of the retirement pension.
Al-Tadamun denies freezing the pension payment for the first 4 months after the retirement recipient goes out:
The Media Center for the Presidency of the Council of Ministers said in the weekly report in order to respond to the rumors today, Friday, 6 November 2020, that the Ministry of Social Solidarity has been contacted, which denied the news of freezing the pension payment during the first four months of the person entitled to retirement.
He stressed that this news is not true and that the financial dues are paid to the pensioner or the beneficiary starting from the month following his departure from the pension, and he stressed that the state is committed to fulfilling all the insurance benefits and privileges established for pensioners without prejudice to any of them.
On the other hand, the first month of the pension is disbursed from manual statements only, and the pensioner or beneficiaries can apply for the payment of the pension and this is from one of the Fund’s outlets where an automatic exchange card and a secret number are issued to the recipients of the pension free of charge, starting from the following month.
It also provides free exchange service throughout the month from the available exchange points in all outlets nationwide in order to facilitate the procedures followed for citizens to benefit from these services and to improve the infrastructure for financial flows, in light of the financial inclusion policy.
