For pensioners, a document such as a pension certificate is very important. But few people think about receiving it. True, only up to a point. Until then, until you require direct processing of the document. And then some problems arise. Why? In order to receive any document, it is necessary to prepare correctly. Not all retirees are given this done as soon as possible. Therefore, it takes a long time to suffer. To prevent this from happening, we will try to figure out how to apply for a “retirement” and what it really is.
Description
What are we dealing with? What is a pension certificate? In general, this is a kind of document that serves to confirm the status of a pensioner. It helps to receive and confirm benefits, and also indicates the right to receive a pension.
In principle, young people do not need to think about him. But the elderly should. After all, the "pension" is issued only upon retirement. This is a kind of confirmation of their status in society. What does it take to get it?
Documents
In fact, everything is not as complicated as it might seem at first glance. The thing is that a sample pension certificate and a complete list of necessary documents for obtaining it can be seen in the Pension Fund at the place of residence. By itself, this “paper” is a red book in which data about a pensioner is stored. There is a corresponding inscription on the cover.
Obtaining a pension certificate is not a very difficult process. It is necessary to start it, as has already been said several times, with the collection of a package of documents. What might be required? The documents include:
- passport;
- photo 3 by 4;
- work book;
- SNILS;
- birth certificates of all children;
- marriage certificate;
- certificate of employment;
- education documents;
- account details for a pension;
- statement.
This is a mandatory list of all "papers". In addition, if you are applying for any special allowances and payments, you must bring the appropriate confirmation to the Pension Fund. So, for example, a pension certificate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs involves the delivery of a copy of a military ID, as well as certificates of how much you have served. There are usually no problems here.
Filling in the questionnaire
A pension certificate without an application (questionnaire) of a future pensioner cannot be issued. A sample of it can be taken at the Pension Fund. Honestly, it’s better to worry about filling out the questionnaire in advance. This will speed up the process of applying and issuing your identity card.
Fortunately, no special action is required from you. The questionnaire is written mainly passport data and personal information about the future pensioner. Place and city of birth, initials, marital status, registration - all this is quite familiar data when processing any document. So, if you fill out an application at home in advance, it will be enough just to come to the Pension Fund with all the documents and give them to an employee. He will issue you and after a while issue a certificate.
Important: "retirement" is not issued immediately. To simplify the process, you need to specify your contact details in the questionnaire. Now a special line is reserved for this. You will be informed when you can return to the Pension Fund with your passport to obtain a certificate.
Changes
But only in all this there is one unpleasant event. Which one? It's all about modern laws.Recently in Russia (more precisely, since 2015) a pension certificate is not required to be issued. What does it mean? Nothing special. This document is simply no longer needed. And no one can get it at the Pension Fund.
How should pensioners now confirm their benefits and rights? A special certificate was invented for this. It is issued to everyone instead of the corresponding certificate. Such a document is printed on plain paper, even without a photograph. On the one hand, this simplifies the collection of necessary documents for registration, and on the other, now the “certificate” is of no value. Faking it is extremely easy.
Who has a "retirement"
What to do to those who have a pension certificate? Do not rejoice - you will have to replace it with the appropriate certificate. This applies only to those who for some reason need to replace the document. Otherwise, you can use the usual certificate. But this is until the government comes up with a rule according to which all certificates must be replaced by certificates.
How to realize a replacement idea? Contact the Pension Fund with your passport and pension certificate to replace it. You will be printed a special certificate, which now serves as confirmation of the status of a pensioner. In general, the abolition of the "retirement" entailed a lot of problems. But they are trying to fight with them and make changes to the relevant acts.
