The annual recalculation of pension payments from TR for the year 2024 is now available on TR's My Pages. A settlement for about 69,000 individuals is published today.

The Social Insurance Administration, the Welfare Department, the Directorate of Labour and the Ministry of Social Affairs are working together on a study of disability pensions for women and men aged 50 to 66.

From 1 January 2025, the coefficients based on actuarial calculation will change due to the flexible take-up of old-age pensions and household allowances.

A total of 28,715 individuals will receive a single payment this afternoon when the Social Insurance Administration distributes a single payment to elderly pensioners, incapacity and rehabilitation pensioners.

With the introduction of a new disability and rehabilitation payment system that takes effect on September 1, the current disability assessment will be discontinued and replaced by an integrated expert assessment. The Minister of Social Affairs and Housing submitted a report to the parliament on April 30th regarding the preparation for implementing the integrated expert assessment. The report is currently under review by the parliament's Welfare Committee.

Payment plans for 2026 are published today on My Pages at TR. Allowances will increase by 5.2% year-on-year.
