With the addition of Provisional Article 112 to Law No. 5510 on Social Insurances and General Health Insurance through the Official Gazette dated January 29, 2026 and numbered 33152, a regulation has been introduced regarding the minimum wage support to be provided to employers in 2026.

Under the regulation, for the period January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026, the minimum wage support per insured employee has been determined as TRY 42.33 per day, corresponding to TRY 1,270.00 per month.

As is known, termination/exit codes indicating employees' reasons for termination have so far been included in the Social Security Institution (SSI) Service Record documents accessed via e-Devlet (e-Government Gateway). With the latest implementation change, this information is no longer included in official SSI service records.

It is understood that this change was implemented by taking into consideration the decision and reasoning of the 10th Chamber of the Council of State dated October 14, 2024 and numbered 2020/2598 E. and 2024/3991 K.

Following the determination of the minimum wage amount applicable for 2026, as in every year, the SSI has published Circular No. 2026/2 dated January 7, 2026. With this Circular, to be applied between January 1, 2026 – December 31, 2026; the lower and upper daily and monthly limits of earnings subject to social security contributions for insured persons, the amounts to be taken into account for periods spent abroad and for service debt borrowings, the contribution amounts to be paid by voluntary insured persons and general health insurance insured persons, as well as the amounts to be taken as a basis for administrative monetary penalties and temporary incapacity, funeral, and breastfeeding allowances, have been determined. The principal amounts to be taken into consideration within the scope of Circular No. 2026/2 are set out below, and detailed information can be accessed from the Circular attached to this publication.

An important regulation has been introduced regarding the right to benefit from healthcare services for certain insured persons covered under Law No. 5510 on Social Insurances and General Health Insurance.

Pursuant to Presidential Decision No. 10812, published in the Official Gazette dated January 7, 2026 and numbered 33130, the period during which BAĞ-KUR insured persons with outstanding contribution debts and general health insurance holders covered under Article 60/1-g may benefit from healthcare services has been extended until December 31, 2026.
