In accordance with Article 2 of the Constitution, the Republic of Türkiye is a social state of law. One of the duties of being a social state is to eliminate social inequality and distribute justice equally to all citizens. It is guaranteed in our Constitution that everyone will benefit from the right to social security. Taking the necessary measures and establishing the necessary organization to ensure this assurance is among the responsibilities of the social state of law. The right to social security should not be applied differently to those in similar situations unless there is a justifiable reason. With the merger of the Social Insurance Institution, the Social Insurance Institution for Independent Employees and the Pension Fund under the Social Security Institution, the legislation applied by these institutions to the insured was unified within the scope of the Social Insurance and General Health Insurance Law No. 5510. After the radical reform, some inequalities have emerged in terms of insured public servants. The pension to be paid by the Institution to 4/1-c insured persons or their beneficiaries who face certain social risks such as old age, disability or death is considerably lower compared to the insured persons in other statuses. If the legislation is not amended, there will be irreparable consequences for the insured and their beneficiaries.
