Years of work before '94 are known, how to apply for pension? -

Over 30 thousand citizens will have their employment period before 1994 recognized, without the need to initiate legal proceedings due to damage to documentation.

The law, which aims to recognize as an insurance period, for pension purposes in the social security system, periods of employment in state institutions, former state enterprises, former agricultural enterprises and former agricultural cooperatives, has been published in the Official Gazette and enters into force in mid-March 2025.

According to the law, persons have the right to request recognition as a general insurance period, according to this law, when the right to request the assignment of a pension from social security arises.

For persons who have worked in state institutions and former state enterprises to benefit, they must have resided in the city and not have been serving a prison sentence as these years are not recognized as an insurance period. The employment period for the purpose of calculating the estimated pension base is taken with a reference salary of 3,288 lek and 4,110 lek according to the category of applicants.

Persons who worked in former agricultural cooperatives must have resided in the village where the former agricultural cooperative operated and must not have been convicted.

The same criteria apply to employees in former agricultural enterprises and in this case the reference salary for the insurance period, for the purpose of calculating the estimated pension base, will be 2,833 lek.

The recognition of periods of employment, according to this law, is made for pensions that have not been assigned until its entry into force, regardless of the date of reaching the age for benefit; as well as for pensions when the applicant has been assigned a pension from social security before the date of entry into force of this law and are under administrative review in the Regional Appeals Commission and the Central Appeals Commission at the Social Security Institute or in the trial process in court.

While periods of employment recognized by special laws, for pension purposes in the social security system, continue to be recognized as such and are not subject to treatment under this law.
