The Pension Fund continues to broaden e-services for information and public service purposes, which will make a visit to PFR optional.

All PFR e-services are available on a single portal on the Pension Fund website, at https://es.pfrf.ru. For your convenience the portal is structured not only by the type of service (pensions, social allowances, maternity capital, etc) but also by the type of access – with or without registration. In order to access services requiring personal data one needs a registered account on the unified public services portal.

Since 2015, the insured person’s account facility provided such important services as information about formed pension rights, the assignment of pension, a new method of its delivery, etc. On the whole, almost 4 million applications were filed via services of the insured person’s account facility. More than 100,000 persons applied for the assignment of pensions, and another 102,000 requested a new method of pension delivery. In 80% of cases, citizens who applied for the assignment of pensions – the key public service provided by PFR – did not have to visit PFR or submit additional personal-storage documents.

Starting from 2016, maternity capital certificate holders will be permitted to spend the funds on goods and services supporting social adaptation and integration of children with disabilities. President Vladimir Putin has signed a relevant federal law, which will take effect on January 1, 2016.

The offices of the Pension Fund of Russia in Crimea and Sevastopol continue to render state services to citizens and insuring parties and to execute their functions despite unstable power supply on the Crimean Peninsula.
