Pension payments can be suspended or terminated for various reasons, impacting recipients’ financial stability. It is crucial for pensioners to understand these conditions to avoid disruptions in their income.

Pension payments can be suspended for up to six months under certain circumstances. This includes situations where a pensioner hasn’t received their payments for six consecutive months, such as when bank account details haven’t been updated. Additionally, a child receiving a survivor’s pension may face suspension upon turning 18 if they don’t enroll in university or fail to provide enrollment confirmation to the Social Fund. Suspension also occurs if a student studying abroad doesn’t annually confirm their enrollment, if a foreigner or stateless person’s residence permit expires, or if a pensioner moves abroad permanently without informing the Social Fund. Suspension may also occur if a pensioner moves to a country obligated to pay their pension under an international agreement.

Rights to monetary payments can be restored by addressing the reason for the suspension. This could involve providing updated bank account information or submitting proof of university enrollment.

Pension payments can be terminated permanently in several cases. These include the death of the pensioner or them being declared dead or missing. Termination also occurs if the residence permit of a foreigner or stateless person is canceled, if the pensioner voluntarily refuses the pension, or if the situation causing a six-month suspension isn’t rectified.

Some situations leading to termination are reversible, such as re-obtaining a residence permit or expressing a renewed desire to receive the pension. However, if the fundamental eligibility for the pension is lost, reinstatement is not possible.

Specific individuals who may lose their right to pension payments include: children receiving survivor’s pensions who turn 18 and don’t attend university, those who study but turn 23 or begin working, disabled individuals whose disability status expires, and pensioners who obtained their pension through false information.
