Abu dhabi: The General Pension and Social Security Authority (GPSSA) has released its pension payment schedule for 2026, with adjustments to disbursement dates to ensure beneficiaries receive payments in advance of key festive periods observed in the UAE.
According to Emirates News Agency, GPSSA announced that March pensions will be paid on the 19th, ahead of Eid Al Fitr. Similarly, May payments will be advanced to the 22nd, preceding Arafat Day and Eid Al Adha. April pensions are scheduled for payment on the 24th.
For other months, pensions will follow a set schedule with payments for February, September, and December made on the 25th. January, June, and November pensions will be disbursed on the 26th. Payments for July, August, and October will adhere to the regular schedule, on the 27th of each month.
GPSSA has emphasized the importance of keeping personal data updated to avoid any disruptions in pension payments. Beneficiaries and pensioners can access support through various channels, including a toll-free number 80010, the GPSSA website, social media platforms, and Customer Happiness Centres.
Eligible recipients include civilians covered under the Federal Pension and Social Security Law, as well as those whose pension files are managed by GPSSA on behalf of the Ministry of Finance.
