Pensions will be transferred in advance in May, before Easter.
The government approved, in Thursday’s meeting, the two normative acts that ensure the advance payment of pensions.
The Minister of Labour, Simona Bucura-Oprescu, showed that through the government decision adopted on Thursday, the procedures can be triggered in April, so that the pensions can be transferred before Easter.
“Today we have two normative acts that facilitate the possibility of giving pensions to Romanians before the Easter holidays. The two are a GD and, respectively, a memorandum.
The government decision is the one that allows us to trigger the institutional procedures in April, so that the money is transferred on time both to the Romanian Post National Company, which delivers almost half of Romanians’ pensions through postal factors, and to feed the accounts of commercial banks with which the Ministry of Labor and Social Solidarity, respectively the National Pension House has conventions, the 22 banking institutions, so that they, in turn, can make transfers to Romanians before the Easter holidays.
Minister of Labour, announcement about the transfer of pensions
Our estimates are that both the Romanian Post Office and the banking institutions will fall within the schedule we agreed upon, a situation in which all Romanians will receive their pensions before Easter.
The date on which they will receive them on the account is May 2-3, instead of May 12, the date we had in the agreement, and the date on which the postal factors will deliver the pensions, up to and including May 3,” said Simona Bucura-Oprescu, according to Agerpres.
The minister mentioned that he discussed both with the representatives of the Romanian Post and of the banking institutions so that the pensions will be paid in advance in May.
“The aspects that concern us are the procedures so that the money is transferred on time to those we work with and also that all these institutional aspects are done on time. Furthermore, the internal organization, both of the banks and of Romanian Post, it’s up to them.
What I can tell you is that both institutionally and informally, I have already discussed with each of these partners since Wednesday afternoon, since the prime minister outlined the task, both to us and to the other colleagues in the Government who belong to the initiation of these procedures, so that the pensions will be paid before Easter”, stated the Minister of Labor.
