Chisinau, 12 October /MOLDPRES/ - The age limit pensions and the disability ones will be recalculated starting from 1 November 2017 and not as of 1 April 2018, as it has been earlier established, under a cabinet decision due to be published in the 13 October issue of the Official Journal (Monitorul Oficial).    

The rise in pensions, following the recalculation, will be differentiated depending on the year when the pension was established and the income got by the person. Thus, the pension will increase by an average of 255 lei for 58,479 beneficiaries of age limit pension, which represents a 17.6-per cent growth above the level of the current average pension. Also, the increase will stand at 274 lei for 6,399 beneficiaries of invalidity pension, up by 28.6 per cent against their average pension.      

The expenses needed to carry out the project are estimated at 33.6 million lei – resources identified as a result of the increase of the revenues at the state social insurances budget for the current year.

The gradual recalculation of the pensions is provided for by the pension system reform, passed in late 2016. Within the first stage, implemented starting from 1 April 2017, the pensions set in 2001-2008 were recalculated for 68,014 beneficiaries of age limit pensions and 15,570 beneficiaries of invalidity pensions. As a result, the average size of the age limit pension grew by 132 lei on average and the average size of the disability pension – by 226 lei.
