The Pension Fund of Uzbekistan shared tips for securing a higher pension.

The Pension Fund of Uzbekistan has provided recommendations for the citizens of the country. These recommendations detail key points that can help individuals secure a higher pension. This was reported by the department.

To qualify for a full age pension, men need to have 25 years of work experience by the age of 60, while women require 20 years by the age of 55. Those with at least 7 years of work experience will receive a partial pension, which is considered to be lower.

First and foremost, it is essential to ensure that your employment is officially documented, and that your work experience is recorded by the organization where you are employed. You can verify this yourself through the portal my.gov.uz.

Additionally, you need to make sure that your organization is paying you officially. In this case, regularly check your issued salary, the actual salary you receive, the income taxes withheld, the amounts transferred to your pension savings, and much more.

If an employee is working unofficially, they have the option to register as self-employed and pay social tax to the Pension Fund in the established manner. This solution can help increase their work experience.

Moreover, it is necessary to stay updated with news and information related to pension legislation, being aware of any changes and additions.

If you are currently unemployed, you should contact the Department for Poverty Reduction and Employment to request digitization of your employment records. In this case, it is possible to view the digitized data on the portal my.gov.uz.
