MOSCOW, August 17. / TASS /. The Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) promptly assigned a survivor's pension to the children of journalist and writer Anna Starobinets, the widow of writer Alexander Garros, after her critical publication on social networks. This was announced by the head of the department of public relations and interaction with the media of the Pension Fund of Russia Margarita Nagoga on her Facebook page.
Anna Starobinets was left alone with two minor children after the death of her husband. To apply for a survivor's pension, the woman had to collect documents for almost a month. Last Wednesday, she turned to the Moscow branch of the Pension Fund of the Khamovniki district. Once again faced with a number of difficulties in the design, Starobinets published an angry post on Facebook, which caused a wide resonance on social networks.
According to Nagogi, the employees of the Khamovnichesky branch of the Pension Fund of Russia did everything in accordance with the law, including promptly issued SNILS for children and requested additional documents through diplomatic agencies.
"We have drawn up models of pension files and given them for appointment. The pension has been appointed since August. Today there will be an appointment," explained the head of the PFR press service.
Margarita Nagoga also apologized for the actions of the employees of the Pension Fund and promised to take into account Starobinets' comments in her future work.
