Pension bonus, 650.000 citizens to benefit from holiday bonus

The distribution of a bonus for pensioners for the end of year holidays will start from December 15th.

The amount of the reward is 3,000 Lek and will be distributed according to the calendar day that the pensioner usually receives their payment.

Speaking at a joint conference held today, the Director of the Social Insurance Institution, Astrit Hado and the Director of the Post, Laert Duraj, assured retirees that all infrastructure and human resources are ready to launch this process.

"650 thousand people will benefit from the 3,000 lek bonus to be paid for the end of year holidays from December 15th," said Astrit Hado.

If, for some reason, a pensioner is unable withdraw their pension in December, the opportunity will not be missed. The amount of the bonus can be withdrawn with the pension throughout January also.

"There will be no problems with the allocation" said Laert Duraj.

The fund the government has allocated specifically for the pensioners' rewards is around 2billion Lek; with the number of beneficiaries expected to reach about 650 thousand people.
