Tripoli – The head of the Awareness Media Department at the General Administration of the Social Security Fund announced that the Fund’s administration has approved an exceptional plan for disbursing pensions to retirees and their eligible dependents, taking into consideration the difficult living conditions and the approach of the holy month of Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr.
He explained that pensions for February 2026 will be disbursed on their usual date of February 10th, while pensions for March will be disbursed before February 22nd, and pensions for April before March 10th, ensuring the financial entitlements arrive before the religious occasions.
Additional Support for Retirees
He pointed out that the Fund’s administration has decided to suspend the deduction of loan installments for the months of March and April, so that pensions are disbursed in full without any deductions, a step aimed at alleviating financial burdens and supporting retirees during this period.
He confirmed that these measures come within the framework of the social role undertaken by the Social Security Fund and its keenness to support the targeted segments and provide the necessary liquidity before seasons that typically witness an increase in expenses.
Tripoli
Tripoli is the capital and largest city of Libya, with a history dating back to the 7th century BC when it was founded by the Phoenicians. It later came under Roman, Byzantine, Arab, Ottoman, and Italian rule, which is reflected in its historic architecture, such as the Red Castle (Assaraya al-Hamra) and the old medina.

Social Security Fund
The Social Security Fund is a government-managed financial system designed to provide economic protection to citizens, typically through programs like retirement pensions, disability benefits, and unemployment insurance. Its modern origins are often traced to late 19th and 20th-century reforms, such as Germany’s policies under Chancellor Otto von Bismarck in the 1880s, which established early state-sponsored social insurance.
Ramadan
Ramadan is the ninth month of the Islamic lunar calendar, observed by Muslims worldwide as a month of fasting, prayer, reflection, and community. Its history is rooted in the Islamic tradition that it was during this month that the first verses of the Quran were revealed to the Prophet Muhammad.
Eid al-Fitr
Eid al-Fitr is the Islamic festival marking the end of Ramadan, the holy month of fasting. Its history dates back to the Prophet Muhammad, who established this celebration as a day of gratitude, community prayer, charity (Zakat al-Fitr), and feasting after a month of spiritual reflection.
