WHAT SHOULD BE DONE IN CASE OF A DEDUCTION FROM PENSION RECEIVED FROM ABROAD?
If a person, who resides in Turkey and receives pension from abroad, does not introduce the Life Certificate which is compulsory to introduce every year, there can be a deduction from his/her pension.

Vital record taken from the Civil Registry may take the place of the Life Certificate. There is no need to translate that document in addition.

Furthermore, one can request for help by applying to Provincial Directorate of Social Security Institution or Ministry of Labor and Social Security where the person resides.

In this application, it is sufficient to indicate
1- Insurance institution where the person receives his/her persion and insurance number,
2- Credentials.
