Gearing Up for May: A Heads-Up for Pensioners on Bank Cards
Brace yourself, golden-agers! There might be a slight shift in your pension payment schedule coming May.
Some pensioners might find themselves without their regular payday during the extended May holidays.
The Nitty-Gritty
- Early Bird Catches the Worm: Pensions of all sorts - insurance, social, disability, accumulative, and additional allowances from the Social Fund - are all set to be credited early, by April 30. This move is a proactive step to dodge any delays caused by the holiday season.
- Back to the Routine: Post May 6, banks will revert to their usual payment schedule, ensuring no further disruptions.
- Russian Post Payments Remain Unchanged: The change doesn't affect those receiving payments through "Russian Post." Payments will commence on May 3 and run till May 25, as per schedule.
What's the Buzz?
- Early payments cover all forms of pensions and supplementary payments.
- Pensioners don't need to submit any applications; payments will be made automatically.
- In case of queries, get in touch with your bank or the nearest "Russian Post" office.
These adjustments aim to guarantee timely payments and circumvent financial hardships for pensioners during the prolonged break, the source suggests.
