Armenian government corrects pension payment rules
YEREVAN, May 5. /ARKA/. The Armenian government has corrected the
rules of assignment, registration, calculation and payment of
pensions, Armenian Labor and Social Welfare Minister Arthur Grigoryan
said Thursday after the Cabinet's regular meeting.
He said that the government has also approved the form of the contract
on cash and cashless payments of pensions. These decisions also
stipulate that lists of pensioners must be kept throughout ten, not
five years.
Grigoryan said that the government also set service quality criteria.
New rules leave no room for paying dead pensioners' pensions.
The same applies to pensions of those people who have left Armenia. If
the social welfare ministry finds out such illegalities, it will
appeal to law enforcement agencies.
The government has also made some changes in the system of social
support for servicemen and their families.
`Before that various categories and groups of people enjoyed different
extra payment, while now all the all the groups will be united, and
their benefit will be unified with increment intended for those
persons stipulated by these rules,' the minister said.
He said that increment will average between AMD 11,000 and AMD 12,000.
($1 = AMD 372.79). M.V.-0-
