Working pensioners may choose another month for automatic pension conversion / day

In this case, after April 1 and next year, the SSIA will automatically recalculate the pension from the first date of the person’s chosen month. Such procedures are provided for by the amendments to the Law on State Pensions.

The SSIA explains that it would be profitable to change the automatic pension recalculation of the month if the person wants the pension to be recalculated by his birthday, as this may affect the amount of the pension after the recalculation. This is determined by the value of « G », which depends on the number of years of the person.

It is also important to change the automatic pension recalculation month if, on April 1, 2026, 12 months have passed after the last pension and the person wants to recalculate before April 1, 2027.

For example, if a person submits an application on June 16, 2025, asking for a pension to recalculate from July 1, 2025, the SSIA will recalculate the pension from July 1, 2025. Taking into account that on April 1, 2026, the year has not been turned since the previous recalculation, the SSIA will not have automatic conversion – the automatic conversion will only be on April 1, 2027.

If the person wants the SSIA to automatically recalculate the pension from July 1, by January 31, 2026, the SSIA must submit the SSIA application, indicating the monthly pension recalculation.

The first automatic pension recalculation will be on April 1, 2026 and in the future.

An application for the selected automatic pension recalculation month can be electronically signed to SSIA e-mail, to e-mail (Email Protected) or any chapter email. This can also be done in person at any SSIA customer service center or by mail, addressing any SSIA department.

The Authority draws attention to the fact that automatic pensions are recalculated on a monthly change after 1 April 2026 cannot be used at the currently available e-enforcement « Old-Old Pension », but must use an application for an automatic pension recalculation date « .

When recalculating pensions automatically, the SSIA will take into account the information received from the State Revenue Service on the person’s social security contributions at the time of recalculation.

For example, an old -age pensioner who has registered as a self -employed SRS and social security contributions will be made to automatic pension recalculations on April 1 next year. However, at that moment, the SSIA will not have information on the previous quarter – January, February and Martha. Therefore, the conversion will be based on the data available at that time.

In contrast, disability pensions do not take into account the recalculation of the pension carried out in the alteration of the disability group.

For example, if a person’s disability pension of Group 3 has been granted from September 18, 2021 and after the pension is granted, insurance contributions have been supplemented on January 10, 2026 due to the change of disability group from Group 3 to Group 2, taking into account the social insurance contributions for the period from September 2025 to December 2025. In addition, from April 1 next year, the SSIA will also make an automatic pension recalculation, taking into account the insurance contributions from January to March 2026.

This year and until 31 March next year, the current procedure for the recalculation of pensions carried out by the SSIA on the basis of the application received, not earlier than 12 months after the previous recalculation.

It has already been reported that from April 1 next year, the SSIA will recalculate pensions automatically if insurance contributions have been paid after the age or disability pension.

The changes adopted stipulate that the automatic pension recalculation should be made no earlier than 12 months from the previous pension or 12 months after the granting of the pension, counting this period from the first date of the following month from which the pension was granted.

Automatic pension recalculation will apply to the recipients of age, Group 1 and Groups 2, as well as retirement pensions (except for retirement pensions), who have continued to work after granting or previous recalculation and who have passed at least 12 months since the retirement or previous recalculation.
