At today's meeting of the council of ministers, the government decided to index pensions from October 1 of this year, to the extent of 4.1 percent. The head of the Social Insurance Institute, Astrit Hado, said that from October 1, all pensioners will receive their increased pensions, as everything is already done digitally.
"Indexation is a legal obligation for pensions to be indexed once a year. There are about 721 thousand beneficiary pensioners and about 68 thousand special treatments, such as ex-military, ex-miner, etc. The increase for each category depends on the pension measure, they have had different histories, different retirement ages, or they have been caught by different laws. The minimum pension is currently 17,888 ALL, the maximum goes double, the social pension goes to 97,100.
The distribution will be carried out through second-level banks and the post office, the number of pensioners requesting pensions in the bank is increasing. We don't force them to take it to the bank, they can take it to the post office, have the mail delivered to their home, or to the bank.
Young pensioners, the urban ones, mainly want to receive their pension in the bank. We have made the agreements, the accounts for the withdrawal of pensions in the bank are not kept commission, it is an agreement made with the banks and the institution. The pensioner receives the net pension from the bank. We already have all the pensions digitized, we make the payments through electronic systems, the indexing is also done automatically, on October 1 everything will be ready. Pensioners will receive increased pensions on October 1, there is no problem, as the process is carried out in hours, and no longer manually," Hado told "Abc News".
As for the indexation period of pensions, Hado said that from next year the possibility of its alignment will be seen, not leaving it for the end of the year.
"The legal obligation is to do it once a year. As a date, we had July 1 every year for the indexation of pensions, at that time the minimum wage was also increased on a national scale. The wage for employment is also for social security, due to the price crisis in 2022 we made two indexations. Even in 2022, we did the indexation in April and later due to the increase in prices, we did a second indexation on October 1st and so the date remained October 1st. Next year we will see the possibility to bring it closer", added Hado.
