Change at Age 65: Those Receiving Alimony Can Now Benefit!

There is an important innovation taking place in Turkey's social support systems. With the new regulation, citizens who previously received alimony or were entitled to receive it will now also benefit from significant social security support such as the 65-year-old pension.

Under the current application, citizens receiving alimony could not benefit from the 65-year-old pension. However, with the new regulation coming into effect, it has been announced that monthly payments can be made to individuals over 65 years old in need, even if they receive alimony. This situation presents a great opportunity for many elderly individuals to improve their living standards.

Social assistance has become an even more important need that increases with old age. Many people over 65 in Turkey try to sustain their livelihoods solely with pension payments. Those receiving alimony, on the other hand, have remained at a disadvantage due to the financial difficulties they face in the current situation. The implementation of this new regulation will strengthen the social security of citizens in this age group.

Officials predict that this change will create great satisfaction among the elderly population and increase their participation in social life. In addition, the implementation of the new system will allow for the fair distribution of social assistance.

With this change, individuals over 65, particularly low-income alimony receivers, will be able to alleviate significantly the financial burden they have been experiencing due to their previous exclusion from this right. Thus, the said regulation not only provides economic support but also enables elderly individuals to become more visible in society.

In conclusion, this reform seems to constitute a turning point in the social assistance system in Turkey. A significant step has been taken in terms of social security for both elderly citizens receiving alimony and those eligible for the 65-year-old pension. With the details of this regulation expected in the coming days, the processes of its implementation will become more clearly defined.
