Every citizen can send his funded pension not only to the state pension fund, but also to various non-state funds that offer higher profits and interesting terms of cooperation.
You can use this money only after reaching the age of a pensioner. The money is given in a lump sum or paid monthly for the rest of your life, and there is also the option of a term program where the money is paid over a specific period of time.
If citizens cooperate with a non-state pension fund for no more than 5 years, then funds are usually issued as a lump sum payment based on the investor’s application.
Rules for filing an application for a one-time payment of pension savings
A one-time payment of funds allows you to receive a large amount that has been accumulated over a long period of time when insurance premiums were transferred. Savings are formed for every officially working citizen.
Money can be transferred not only by the employer, but also by the direct employee , if he cares about his secure old age. You can receive money after reaching the age of a pensioner or when registering a disability group in which a person cannot continue to work.
Funds are paid based on an application drawn up by the direct depositor.
The text contains the following data:
- information about the applicant, provided by his full name, passport details, date and place of birth, citizenship, gender, registration address and SNILS number;
- citizen's contact phone number;
- information on the assignment of an old-age pension;
- the method of receiving money from the fund, for example, if it is planned to transfer it to a bank account, then its details are indicated;
- date of application;
- the exact number of the pension account on the basis of which the applicant is identified;
- depositor's signature.
Attention! If the investor died before applying for his savings, then the legal successors specified in the will or determined on the basis of legal requirements have access to these funds.
You can bring an application to the fund yourself or use the help of a representative. In the latter case, the authorized person must have a power of attorney certified by a notary.
