Online policies – Some pensions increased and others not

Since they received the first part of the October board, which should have seen the announced increase of 8 to 13%, the dissatisfaction with regard to. a number of retirees is not reduced. They complain that they have not received any increase and no one has explained to them why. How is it possible that someone did not receive a couple more than what he had received in October 2014, and that a percentage increase, announced by the Ministry of Finance, has been calculated?

Mr Slobodan Filipovic, who has just confirmed this, stated that the last pension payment of 10 November caused confusion, as some pensions were only corrected, some were returned to the former without any percentage increase. And retirees are interested in two things: first, when they receive a reduced amount for the last 48 months and why pensions are increased by different percentages.

Belgrade's Ljubica, who also reported to "Politika", says she appears to have first and second row retirees in Serbia. Unsatisfied with what she received, she went even further after advising the Ministry of Labor to turn to the PIO fund in case of ambiguity.

– My pension is 30,000 dinars. With the October break, I got an increase of 1,109.67 dinars. In addition, I write this amount under "Miscellaneous". When I went to the PIO fund in New Belgrade and was looking for an explanation, it was said that it meant that this magnification was not permanent, but that I could have it this month but not the next. And that's why he is declared diverse: the story of Ljubica.

The Ministry of Labor "Politika" recently responded that by stopping the decline in the amount of the pension and beginning to pay the amount in cash, increasing the amount of the pension in October, it was guaranteed that the total income (pension and pension amount in the form of pension increase) would be at least five percent compared to the amount received for September. All retirees who have remarks can contact the payroll department of the branch that pays them a pension.

When asked how it was possible for the October check to increasingly refuse the announced increase in pensions from 8% to 13%, Moma Čolaković, MPP of the PUPS political party in the Serbian Parliament, reported receiving numerous complaints from unhappy retirees on a daily basis that they would not have received the promised correction.

– I advise them to consult the PIO fund and check if their error is possible. There are also satisfied retirees who have received an increase in the pair announced by the Ministry of Finance – he says.

Asked what PUPS, as the representative of the pensioners of the Serbian Parliament, would ask for the next few days, while the budget debate was on the agenda, Mr Čolaković said that he would insist for a further increase in the pensions of the poorest in the coming year and that the money comes from the budget. They are pensioners whose income reaches 32,000 dinars. Čolaković, however, said that next year would certainly find a model according to which pensions would be paid and adjusted in the future.

He added that at the beginning of next month, pensioners of all ages, regardless of the amount of their pension, will receive a one-time grant of 3,000 RSD, which will cost 5.24 billion dinars in the same year. ;State.
