    OVER 5,000 PENSIONERS DID NOT GET THEIR PENSIONS IN APRIL - MINISTER

    Tert.am
    02.05.11

    More than 5,000 pensioners in Armenia did not show up to get their
    pensions in April, Minister of Labor and Social Issues Arthur Grigoryan
    told Tert.am.

    Since January 2011, Haypost has been in charge for paying social
    pensions. Formerly, this function was vested in the State Social
    Security servives. Some pensioners were not paid their monthly pensions
    due to inaccuaracies in the lists, but the problems revealed also
    helped make savings of government funds.

    The Ministry of Finance and the National Assembly's Control Chamber
    are currently conducting inspections, Grigoryan said, adding that
    following the inspections, their outcomes will be analyzed in June
    and a legal assessment will be made.

    Head of the State Security Service Artem Asatryan told Tert.am that
    the current activities are focused on cleaning the pension database
    and introducing a joint system. There is a government deicion on
    creating a joint network of the State Social Security Service and
    Civil Acts Registration Agency to promote an exchange of data on the
    number of pensioners.

    Speaking of the social service employees who falsified the lists,
    registering the pensions of the deceased and people not residing
    in Armenia, Asatryan said that the Prosecutor General's Office will
    tackle their cases.

    He added in the meantime that no personnel changes are expected in
    the system.
