In what cases is the period of study counted towards the total length of service?

The period of study is also taken in Pridnestrovie into account, namely full-time education, which is confirmed by a diploma of education when calculating the length of service for assigning a pension. There were cases in practice when applicants for a pension brought academic certificates or a document on the completion of preparatory courses and asked that this period of study be included in the length of service. Whether there is such a right - those who apply the law had an ambiguous understanding of the existing norms. The Parliament received a request from the Prosecutor's Office for an interpretation of which periods of study, according to the law, should be counted in the total length of service. The deputies of the Committee on Social Policy and Healthcare initiated In this regard the amendments to the law “On State Pension Provision of Citizens in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic”.

The profile committee will continue to work on amendments to the law "On State Pension Provision of Citizens in the Pridnestrovian Moldavian Republic" within the second reading.
