Following the Retirement Agenda Regulation, all eyes turned to employees who had insurance access after September 8, 1999. Especially those who were insured for the first time between 2000 and 2008 are investigating whether a new regulation will be made for gradual retirement. However, there is no official law that brings gradual retirement into effect as of 2026.

THOSE WHO HAVE INSURANCE ACCEPTANCE AFTER 1999 HAVE THEIR EYES ON THIS REGULATION

The expectation of gradual retirement is especially concentrated among employees who had insurance after September 8, 1999.

Citizens in this group are wondering whether the current retirement age will be lowered and whether premium conditions will be redefined.

IS THERE A GRADED RETIREMENT IN 2026?

As of 2026, there is no new law that puts gradual retirement into effect.

Although demands, statements and some legislative proposals on the subject have been brought to the agenda, there is no regulation published in the Official Gazette yet.

OFFICIAL DATE NOT ANNOUNCED

There is no definitive calendar regarding when gradual retirement will occur.

In order for a new regulation to be made, the bill must pass through the Turkish Grand National Assembly and become law and come into force.
