Government retirement pensions are set to increase again!


Starting January 2026, retirees will enjoy a pension increase of up to 7%.


This is another major step taken by the government to ease their burden to support themselves and their families.


This increase follows the first phase of the adjustment of the Public Service Payroll System (SSPA), which saw an increase of up to 8% last December.


The second phase, based on retirees' final salaries, will offer a 3% increase for the senior management group and 7% for other groups such as executives, management and professionals.


The government is also continuing the Special Recognition of Retirees (PKKP) assistance to ensure retirees receive higher pensions after they end their service, helping them cope with the rising cost of living.


According to a report from NST, many retirees, including caregivers and those facing health problems, expressed their gratitude, stating that this pension increase will provide great relief for essential needs.
