Consolidated information system to streamline pensioner data
As Minister of Labor and Social Affairs Arthur Grigoryan told journalists during the interview held at the government’s press center, a consolidated information system will soon be launched by the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs to streamline pensioner data.
“Information will be available from another source as well to help trace the citizens’ movement inside and outside the country,” the Minister said and added that the system rules out any intervention whatsoever on the part of public officials. Arthur Grigoryan advised that in case of payments made in favor of dead persons the paying entity will be bound in duty to turn to law-enforcing authorities.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs is going to submit to the government all those 49 regulatory acts included in the package of National Assembly-backed pension reforms to be effective as of this April. In this connection, the speaker expressed hope that these efforts will help address a number of important issues.
In the package of reforms, Arthur Grigoryan singled out the initiative of providing a one-stop-shop-operated unified assistance instead of different forms of material support currently available to those people entitled to military pensions.
