The State Social Insurance Agency (VSAA) has published information confirming that in October, several thousand pension recipients will receive a recalculation difference together with their regular monthly pension payment.
The difference relates to a recalculation covering the period from April 1 to September 30 of this year. The agency made this information public, though further details on the exact number of people affected or the size of the amounts involved have not been specified.
Payment procedure
According to the information released by VSAA, the recalculation difference will be transferred together with the regular October pension payment, meaning it will arrive as part of the same monthly disbursement.

Recalculations of this kind, and the resulting arrears payments, are a routine part of the agency's work, intended to ensure that pension recipients receive the amounts due to them based on current calculations.
