Temporary Suspension of Pension Payments for Pensioners Moving Abroad
The Pension Fund of Uzbekistan has issued a reminder to citizens regarding the procedure for pension payments for those who travel abroad for an extended period of time. According to the “Regulations on the Procedure for Appointing and Paying State Pensions,” if a pensioner leaves the country and does not return within three months or longer, their pension payments will be temporarily suspended.
It is important for citizens to be aware that these suspended payments will resume once the pensioner returns to Uzbekistan. Upon their return, the individual is entitled to receive any unpaid pension amounts for up to 24 months prior to the date they apply for payment.
Therefore, it is crucial for pensioners who plan to travel abroad for an extended period to keep these regulations in mind in order to avoid any issues with their pension payments. The Pension Fund is dedicated to ensuring that pensioners receive the benefits they are entitled to, and following these procedures will help facilitate a smooth process for all parties involved.
