HOW PENSIONS FOR WHICH THE DISABILITY PERIOD HAS EXPIRED ARE PAID

Disability pensions for which the term of disability has expired in the period from March 13, 2020 to June 30, 2022, will continue to be paid by the National Social Security Institute (NSSI) until the end of December this year.

The condition for this is that the persons have submitted an application-declaration for re-certification by TEMC from March 13, 2020 to July 15, 2022, and that no other expert decisions of TEMC/NEMC with new circumstances have been received by the NSSI after re-certification of the persons receiving these pensions.

The National Social Security Institute prioritizes the processing of the data received from the Regional Health Inspections and will extend the period of payment of pensions and supplements for foreign aid to all pensioners who fall within the scope of the current provision.

The sums owed to the persons who receive their pensions through the post offices in the country will be paid with a separate pension record, and those who receive the pensions are on a payment account - with an additional transfer within the current month.

For persons for whom a new expert decision of the medical examination bodies has been received by the National Social Security Institute, which determines a new term of disability and a percentage of permanently reduced working capacity/type and degree of disability that gives the right to a disability pension, it is regulated 4-monthly period, in which the NSSI should issue an order and, accordingly, the payment of their disability pensions should be continued.

Irrespective of the quoted term, when expert decisions of TEMC/NEMC are received in the Territorial Departments of NSSI, an organization has been created for their immediate and automated processing in order to pay the amounts due to the persons in the shortest possible time.
