How pensions are recalculated in autumn
The President of the National Public Pensions House (CNPP), Daniel Baciu, explained to “Adevărul” that three aspects are taken into account in calculating the pension: the contribution period, the stability points and the non-contributory periods, which are exactly the periods assimilated to seniority, but for who have not paid contributions to the public pension system. For these periods assimilated to seniority – military training, full-time university and unemployment -, 0.25 point is given for each year
The Government of Romania has undertaken through the PNRR to implement an IT system that will include a series of components that work in an integrated and centralized manner.
