Pension payments are made for the current month, meaning that following the 6th February 2025 payment order you receive the February 2025 pension.
The transfer time depends on the payment method (bank transfer, cheque or postal order) and the destination country.
The legal deadline for the payment of benefits defined in Article 72 of the Ordinance on the Old-Age and Survivors' Insurance: "Compensation offices shall give the payment orders to the post office or bank in time for the payment to be made by the 20th day of the month."
If a payment is not received, claims made in writing by the insured persons will not be considered until after the legal deadline, i.e. after the 20th day of the month.
When the transferred money is returned to our account, we will contact you to check the reasons for the rejection. We cannot make a new payment without having sufficient information to change your bank details.
Annual payment of the benefits
Benefits are paid on a monthly basis. However, monthly benefits amounting to a small sum are paid annually. They can be paid on a monthly basis if requested in writing.
