Many benefits, including disability and loss of breadwinner insurance pensions for minors, as well as old-age insurance pension – in certain cases, for example when transitioning from a disability or loss of breadwinner pension – will be processed automatically based on data from the Social Fund.
Consensus
- New pension rules were approved by the Ministry of Labour and Social Protection.
- The new rules came into force on July 17, 2026.
- Automatic issuance of pensions will be implemented for certain categories of beneficiaries.
- Citizens must verify information in their personal account on the 'Gosuslugi' portal and provide bank details.
- No additional documents or visits to offices are required for automatic pension processing.
- Pension adjustments due to age, disability, job loss, or family changes will be handled automatically.
- The rules apply to pensions for people with disabilities, survivors of deceased breadwinners, and specific cases involving children born after 300 days post-death using assisted reproductive technologies.

- The rules include provisions for children born more than 300 days after a father's death using IVF, with requirements including court-confirmed paternity by DNA test, the deceased being the legal spouse of the mother, and proof that he consented to reproductive technologies. — vesti
