“Dul Maaşı Ne Kadar?” (How Much is a Widow’s Pension?) is a rapidly rising search term on Google Trends TR due to the recent announcement by the Turkish government that it will be increasing the minimum widow’s pension by 25% in 2023. This increase will bring the minimum widow’s pension to 3,500 Turkish lira (TRY) per month (approximately $190).
The Turkish government provides a pension to widows who meet certain eligibility criteria, including:
- Being at least 18 years old
- Not being remarried
- Not having any income or assets that exceed a certain threshold
The amount of the widow’s pension is based on the deceased spouse’s income and the number of years they were married. The minimum pension is set by the government each year, and the maximum pension is 75% of the deceased spouse’s income.
The increase in the minimum widow’s pension is a welcome development for many widows in Turkey, who often face financial difficulties after the death of their spouse. The increase will help to ensure that widows have a basic level of financial security and can continue to live independently.
