Când se depune dosarul de pensionare și în cât timp se primește prima pensie

Romanians nearing retirement should be aware of the application process for pensions, including deadlines and payment timelines. According to Law no. 360/2023, applications must be submitted within 30 days of meeting retirement conditions to receive benefits from that date. There is no general advance submission period for retirement applications, but documents can be prepared in advance. Late submissions result in benefits starting from the application date, potentially losing prior entitlements. The pension decision must be made within 45 days, extendable by 30 days if needed. Payments are made monthly, with the first payment depending on the decision issuance and inclusion in the payment system.
