One of the most important phases in the formation of the pension system in Iran is the approval of the National Employment Law on 21st June 1966. According to Article 70 of this law, the general office of pension with all the assets of the CSPF, budget documents and its commitments were separated from the ministry of finance and it was subordinated to the Administrative and recruitment Organization and according to the amendment of the mentioned article, from the beginning of 1975, the CSPF was established as an independent institution affiliated to the Administrative and recruitment Organization

The Administrative and recruitment Organization were merged with the plan and budget organization on 1st March 2000 and the Management and Planning Organization was formed, and subsequently the CSPF became one of the subordinate institutions of this organization

With the approval of the law of the comprehensive system of welfare and social security on 10th May 2004 and according to Note 2 of Article 17 of this law, the CSPF is separated from Management and Planning Organization and became subordinate to the ministry of welfare and social security which is managed by the CSPF. With the merger of the Ministries of “Cooperation”, “Labor and Social Affairs” and “Welfare and Social Security” in 2011 and the formation of the Ministry of “Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare”, the CSPF was defined as an institution under the new ministry.
