Pensioners in a Ural city were left without pensions before the New Year
In Kasli, Chelyabinsk region, pensioners complained that they were unable to collect their pensions at the post office. According to them, payments were moved to an earlier date and everyone who had not been informed was left without money for the New Year.
"I receive my pension on the 23rd at the post office in Kasli. But the post office decided to give everyone's pension before December 20, without warning, and to close the reports," a local resident said in the "Teksler, help" public group on VKontakte.
Now the elderly woman from the Urals has no way to pay her utilities and nothing to buy groceries with. The press service of Russian Post said that in December the delivery of pensions and social benefits was carried out in accordance with the schedule approved by the regional branch of the Social Fund of Russia, from December 4 to 22. Recipients whose payment dates fall on the 23rd and 24th received their pensions early — on December 19 and 20.
"The Social Fund is currently re-forming the lists of recipients who were unable to receive their pensions due to the change. For these residents we will organize an additional payment of pensions from December 26 to 30," the organization clarified.
The post office will notify recipients in advance about the new date for receiving pensions and other social payments. It was previously reported that working pensioners in Russia would receive an extra 470 rubles with their payment.
