About 2,700 elderly people from Moldova receive higher pensions after latter's re-examination

Chisinau, 21 March /MOLDPRES/ - About 2,700 elderly people who established their pension till 1999 and have a length of pensionable service of 15 years following retirement receive higher pensions after the latter have been re-examined. The head of the National Social Insurances House (CNAS), Valentina Buliga, made statements to this effect in an interview given exclusively to MOLDPRES.     

Valentina Buliga noted that, following the re-examination, the beneficiaries’ average pension had increased practically twice. Thus, while the applicants’ average pension was of 1,970 lei, it is worth 4,498 lei after recalculation.  

The CNAS head also said that there were complicated situations, when pensioners who submitted files for re-examination failed to enjoy this social benefit for various reasons. “We discuss with them, explain them which was the goal of the re-examination and some of them are to benefit from pensions next year,” Buliga said. 

For the re-examination of the age limit pension, applicants must submit an application to the territorial social insurances house according to the place of residence, to which they should attach the identity card and the work-record books. 

The law providing for the re-examination of pensions for the people who worked after winning right to pension entered into force on 1 January 2019. The pensions of the people with a length of pensionable service shorter than 15 years will be revised next year. The re-examination of the age limit pensions will be carried out in 2021 for the beneficiaries of the pensions established after 1 January 1999.
