Earlier, the head of the analytical research department of the Higher School of Financial Management, Mikhail Kogan, said that the recipient of the insurance pension may face the suspension of its payments if he does not withdraw money from the card within a six-month period.

According to the expert, the law thus "protects public finances from unnecessary spending."

“This information is not true.

There is no suspension of payments ... ”, - quotes RIA Novosti the words of a fund representative.

Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Labor reported that the average annual old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners in 2021 will be 17,443 rubles.
