It should be noted that the agreement was signed this spring during an official visit by the President of Moldova, Maia Sandu, to Bratislava. It applies to individuals who have accumulated periods of employment and paid social security contributions in both countries.
Under the agreement, Moldovan citizens who have been officially employed in Slovakia will be able to receive pensions and other social benefits from that country. Specifically, this includes old-age pensions, disability pensions due to general illness, pensions and allowances for reduced capacity resulting from an accident at work or an occupational disease, as well as survivor’s pensions.
Under the terms of the agreement, periods of insurance accrued in Moldova and Slovakia may be combined to determine the minimum qualifying period. Each country will calculate and pay its share of the pension for the periods during which the person was insured on its territory.
Citizens will be able to apply for a pension in their country of residence. The pension can be paid into a bank account held in Moldova or Slovakia.
