The citizens of the Republic of Moldova who live outside the country could get an old age pension. The Cabinet approved a legislative initiative designed to continue the process of reforming the pension system, IPN reports.

Once in six months, the recipient will have to submit a life certificate to the National House of Social Insurance (CNAS). This will be completed and signed at Moldova’s embassy or consular office in the country where the person lives or at the local subdivisions of the CNAS in Moldova.

If the recipient does not present the certificate by the required date, the CNAS suspends the payment of the pension starting with the next month coming after the six months. If the person transmits the certificate after the period of half a year, the pension will restart to be paid from the suspension day.
