Armenian ministry of social welfare will verify the data on 37
thousand pensioners for the implementation of further payments
YEREVAN, May 4. /áRëá/. Pension payments of May started from May 2 in
Armenia, but in the process of payments, the data on 37 thousand
pensioners will be checked, said the head of Social Welfare Service
Artyom Asatryan.
Discrepancies in the data have occurred in the process of comparing
them with information databases of other structures, particularly
there were cases when the pension lists and the documents on
disability of a certain pensioner were given different degrees of
disability, date of birth or passport data.
"It makes impossible to identify the pensioner", he said.
The Ministry individually, without the participation of the
pensioners, has already conducted some work on verification of the
lists and identified the data of about 30 thousand pensioners.
"Non-revised data will be checked within a month", he said, explaining
that if necessary, the pensioner will be required to submit an
identity document of a certificate of disability to the territorial
bodies.
Payment of pensions from May 2 through the offices of "Haypost" will
last until May 21. There are no restrictions on bank payments and the
entries to the pensioner's account automatically mean that the data of
the given pensioner have been already clarified.
"Data that are not verified this month will be checked during June",
he said, clarifying that this process will have continuous character.
>From May list of pensioners about 3000 people are excluded who were
not identified by passport data, including dead people.
As of December 31, 2010 there live over 519.8 thousand pensioners in
Armenia. Average size of pension is 24 thousand 700 drams. ($1 -
371.82 drams).--0--
