The Social Fund is preparing citizens for pension assignment in advance. Last year, record clarifications affected more than 1.5 million people who reach the age retirement in 2026.
Work with future retirees begins early: a year or two before the retirement age, or even earlier if an individual applies for pre-retirement benefits. The Fund's staff update personal accounts, collect and verify information that directly impacts the amount of the future pension.
The key objective of this effort is the transition to a proactive payout assignment. Thanks to advance preparation, an increasing number of citizens will be able to receive their pension with a minimum required documents package or without visiting the Social Fund in person at all. The payout will be assigned automatically as soon as the individual reaches the retirement age.
The proactive payout assignment is also developing thanks to the unified digital platform in the welfare area. It accumulates data on citizens from various agencies and fundamentally changes the approach to providing government services. Process automation is the platform's key principle that makes services more accessible and simpler for recipients
