Successors of clients of non-state pension funds (APF) found themselves in a very unpleasant situation-funds in case of losses on legal grounds can withhold part of payments. To eliminate this "cant", it will be necessary to amend the current law. These are cases when the insured Russians transferred their future pensions to APFs and did not live to the end of their labor activity.
In such cases, money is paid to their successors. However, the legislation revealed a legal conflict, which allows funds to withhold part of the amount if they suffered losses due to unsuccessful investments. The problem was acknowledged in the Ministry of Labor, drowning out that the law does not explicitly mention such nuances in the payment of savings to the assignees of clients, writes Kommersant,.
However, legal uncertainty, and it can be eliminated only through the introduction of appropriate amendments, added to the Central Bank. However, experts reassure pensioners, considering such cases of non-payment "hypothetical". For their actual implementation, several factors must simultaneously coincide. The fund must suffer losses for the past year, and the client must go to the APF in the current year, and in the same year, die. Experts believe that the funds will not use the imperfection of the law to rob the successors of their clients, because "the reputation of the foundation is at stake".
