Pensie recalculată, blocată de soft: pensionarii așteaptă de luni întregi deciziile. „Nu merge programul” • Newsweek România

The recalculation of pensions, initiated in September 2024, remains incomplete due to software issues, leaving many pensioners waiting for decisions. Approximately 4.6 million files were involved, with 3.8 million seeing pension increases, while 800,000 faced lower calculated amounts but were protected by law from reductions. Despite the legal safeguards, some pensioners are still waiting for their recalculated pensions, facing uncertainty and repeated visits to pension offices with the same response: "the software is not working." The situation is exacerbated by a significant staff shortage at pension offices, which struggle to manage the high volume of cases. The ongoing technical problems raise questions about the adequacy of backup procedures for processing pension files.
