Those retirees' salaries are being cancelled! Those with the letter 'S' in their service record are in trouble!
The Social Security Institution has launched a comprehensive inspection of those who retired through fake insurance. The salaries of retirees with the letter 'S' in their service records will be cancelled, and the irregularly paid money will be collected back with interest.
The Social Security Institution (SGK) has tightened its investigations into those who have retired unjustly through fake insurance. Due to irregular transactions that have increased in the last two years, the insurance of 89 thousand people was canceled in 2023 and nearly 100 thousand in 2024. The institution has particularly scrutinized insurance notifications made through fake workplaces and determined that a total of 2,114 workplaces were fake.
Those with the Letter 'S' in Their Service Record Are at Risk!In the inspections carried out by the Social Security Institution, insured individuals marked with certain letter codes in the service record attract attention. In particular, the letter 'S' indicates that the person is a fake insured and in this case, the pension is cancelled.
Letter 'K': Indicates workplaces that are in the controlled inspection process.
Letter 'Ş': It means suspicious insurance detection.
Letter 'S': Indicates that a fake insurance transaction has been made and in this case the insurance is cancelled.
Having launched a detailed investigation into the insured individuals marked with these codes, the Social Security Institution reveals irregular transactions, cancels pensions and demands the refund of past payments.
SGK uses two different methods to collect back pensions and other social security payments wrongfully received due to fraudulent insurance:
In case of errors originating from SGK: Payments for the last 5 years are taken back without interest.
In cases of fake insurance transactions originating from retirees: The payments of the last 10 years are demanded back with legal interest.
In this context, millions of liras will be collected back from people who are determined to have retired through fake insurance. It was also reported that a total of 2 billion 36 million TL fine was imposed on workplaces that submitted fake insurance notifications.
Fake insurance means that a person who is not actually working is shown to be working at a workplace and the insurance premium is paid. The Social Security Institution has launched a comprehensive investigation into those who use this method to gain unfair income, especially in recent years. The most common fake insurance methods include showing that they are insured through spouses, friends and relatives, and paying insurance premiums without working to gain retirement rights.
Retirement Cancellations and Legal ProcessIf the Social Security Institution determines during its inspections that the required premiums for retirement have been paid through fake workplaces, it can cancel the person's retirement. This process proceeds in the following steps:
File review and audit: SGK detects suspicious insured persons and initiates a detailed review.
Detection of irregularities: If a fraudulent insurance transaction is detected, the person's insurance is cancelled.
Official notification: The pension is cut and the person is notified to take back the wages paid.
Right to object: People whose pensions are cancelled have the right to object to the Social Security Institution within 7 days.
SGK is trying to prevent such fraudulent insurance transactions by focusing particularly on premium payments made through fake companies.
If a person receives a notice that their retirement has been cancelled, they should first contact the Social Security Institution to learn about their situation. If they think that an unfair transaction has been made, they can start the objection process with the necessary documents. However, if the detection of fake insurance is confirmed, the person must pay back the salaries paid with legal interest.
Social Security's Fight Against Fake Retirement ContinuesThe Social Security Institution tightens its inspections against fake insurance and attempts to unfairly gain retirement rights every year. Since there is no time limit for retrospective inspections, past irregularities can be detected at any time and subject to penal action.
