Paired with the existing $46,000 monthly pension (boosted in Jan 2026), this brings total annual pension aid to over $54 billion. Bank and MMG recipients get funds auto-deposited by end-July; pension bookholders must visit a Ministry office to stamp their booklet, redeemable at post offices. The move, announced in the budget, aims to ease travel burdens and honor the government’s commitment to senior welfare.
