Jokowi Receives Pension And Old Age Savings Benefits From TASPEN

PT Dana Tabungan dan Asuransi Pegawai Negeri (Persero) or TASPEN menyerahkan manfaat program pensiun dan tabungan hari tua (THT) kepada Presiden ke-7 RI Joko Widodo (Jokowi).

TASPEN Corporate Secretary Hendra said the provision of benefits was a form of appreciation for Jokowi's dedication and leadership while serving as Head of State.

"We hope that this pension fund can provide real benefits for Mr. Joko Widodo in living his retirement period comfortably and calmly," said Hendra as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, November 7.

The amount of the benefits of the pension program and THT are regulated in Government Regulation Number 25 of 1981 and Law Number 7 of 1978.

TASPEN paid the benefits of the program starting November 1, 2024 and will be distributed every month on the same date through the account of Bank Mandiri TASPEN.

The company also symbolically handed over TASPEN participant cards to Jokowi who entered retirement as president for the 2019-2024 period.

The handover of the card indicates that Jokowi is officially part of the beneficiaries of the TASPEN pension program, which is designed to support the welfare of retired state civil servants (ASN) and state officials.

"TASPEN is committed to ensuring that retirees, especially figures who have contributed to the nation, get the best service that supports their welfare during retirement," said Hendra.

Meanwhile, Jokowi, who received the pension benefit program and THT, appreciated TASPEN.

"I express my appreciation for the ball pick-up service provided by TASPEN. The service is fast, thank you TASPEN for its commitment to providing the best service," said Jokowi.

All TASPEN pension program participants not only receive monthly pension benefits, but there are several other benefits, such as the 13th retirement, holiday allowances (THR), to the pension program, pensions for widows and orphans, and funeral money if participants die.
