Almost every working resident of our country has a small green plastic card - a pension insurance certificate. What is it for?
Basically, it is a guarantee that its owner will receive a pension from the state in the future. Upon registration, each person insured is “tied” to his personal account and this certificate is handed out. It must be kept by the insured person, and is valid only upon presentation of a document proving his identity.
What to do if a pension insurance certificate has been lost? Where to go
Our life is constant running around and vanity. And in this bustle we constantly don’t notice something, we are scattered and lose something. So one day, well, or not quite so beautiful, any of us may lose a pension insurance certificate. People are upset, not knowing what to do and where to turn to restore this document. Do not worry - the Pension Fund will give you a duplicate of your certificate within a month. Naturally, if you want to receive a pension insurance certificate, you will need to file an application for its loss.
So, to begin with, let's figure out if you work.
If you are officially employed, you will need to go to your employer and write a statement that the insurance certificate has been lost. It should be remembered that this statement must be written no later than a month from the date of loss of certificate. Based on your application, the employer must enter the necessary information into the application form ADV-3 and, after you sign it, send it to the Pension Fund. Your SNILS, which is stored in the personnel department of your enterprise, must be entered in this form. If this number is not found, then to determine it, you will need to send a request to the Pension Fund. Within a month you should be given a duplicate of the lost certificate. You can get it there, in the personnel department.
It should be remembered that in the Russian Federation there is law No. 27-FZ, which says that the policyholder, that is, your official employer, must and even must restore your pension insurance certificate. But it should be remembered that if you lost your certificate before getting a job, the employer has the right to refuse to help you in obtaining a document. This obligation falls on your shoulders.
If at the time of the loss of the document you are unemployed or are employed informally, then you will have to deal with the restoration of the card yourself. To do this, you will need to contact the nearest branch of the Pension Fund, either at the place of residence or registration. For recovery, you will need a passport. Fill out the application form ADV-3 yourself and wait.
The pension insurance certificate will have to be restored no later than a month from the date of application for the loss of the document. Some Pension Fund branches may issue you a duplicate of the document immediately on the day you apply.
