More than 18,400 persons get higher pensions in 2021 after they asked for the reexamination of their pensions. These persons became entitled to an old-age pension after January 1, 1999 and continued to work for seven to ten years after retiring. The average pension after reexamination is 5,325 lei, as against 2,833 lei before the reexamination, IPN reports, quoting a press release of the National House of Social Insurance (CNAS).

The pensioners who continue to work will be able to have their pensions reexamined only in the course of this year, if they have an insurance period of seven years after retiring. They can file an application for the reexamination of pensions by two ways – online through the official website of the CNS www.cnas.md or through the governmental public services portal www.servicii.gov.md.  

The application for the reexamination of the old-age pension can also be submitted on paper to the local office of the CNAS, by presenting the identity card in the original and a copy, including by proxy.

The CNAS noted that under Law No. 156 of October 14, 1998 on the Public Pension System, the next pension reexamination stage starting with January 1, 2022 will cover the persons who worked for five to seven years after retiring. The last stage that will begin on January 1, 2023 will embrace the persons who worked for two to five years after retiring.
