What changes for pensioners

The National Pension House (CNPP) will begin handing out new purple pension slips with the November payments. The slips go to pensioners who receive their pension in a bank account or on a card in Bistrița-Năsăud, Covasna, Harghita and Ialomița counties. Labour Minister Florin Manole announced the change on Sunday on his Facebook page.

Design and content

The slips are printed by the CNPP and have an updated layout. They break down in more detail the amounts that make up each payment and carry a QR code. According to the minister's post, reported by Ziare.com, the slips will be introduced gradually so that the rollout can be monitored and improved based on beneficiaries' experience.

“I want to assure pensioners in these counties that the slips are official, printed by the National Pension House.”

Florin Manole, romanian Minister of Labour

Rollout and open questions

The authorities have not yet said when the new slips will be extended nationally. Libertatea reported that Romanians preparing to retire must meet the legal deadline for filing their pension application under the new pension law, or risk losing money.

Retirement figures

Statistics cited in the reporting show 3,778,651 people retired at the age limit, of whom 2,152,111 are women, with an average pension of 3,119 lei. Libertatea also ran its own calculations on how pensions would rise if they were indexed by 7.3% in 2027.
