Earlier, we wrote about the payments provided for citizens with 40 years of service. In particular, in this case, one can retire at 60 years old, and the pension amount will depend on individual indicators.

We also talked about the rules for returning unpaid pensions in the event of a citizen's death in 2025. There are several ways to apply for the payment accrual.

The availability of such an opportunity allows avoiding unnecessary worries and wasting time visiting territorial offices.
