OREANDA-NEWS In 2018, 170.5 thousand Russians were left without part of the pension due to the working experience not counted by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

 A year earlier, there were 125.4 thousand such pensioners, reports Life.

Often, Russians are denied a pension due to unofficial employment, in which the employer does not contribute to the Pension Fund. Another reason for the shortfall in payments is the loss of data on work experience.

In addition, many denials of payments are associated with legal illiteracy of the population. The main mistakes that Russians make, counting on retirement: filing an application for the accrual of payment ahead of time and its incorrect registration.
