Cabinet of Ministers approved experiment with compact pension appointment system

In October-December 2026, the territorial administrations of the Pension Fund will appoint and recalculate pensions, change their type and organize payments in the pilot territories, instead of district and city departments. The experiment includes the cities of Andijan and Samarkand, the Altynkul district of Andijan region, Urgench, Khiva, Shavat and Yangiaryk districts of Khorezm region, as well as the entire Syrdarya region. Decisions on each district and city will be made by commissions of three people.

Residents will be able to submit applications in local departments, as before: they will accept documents, register the application through Face ID and send scans to the administration on the same day. By December 15, the Ministry of Economy and Finance and the Pension Fund must submit to the government a draft document, according to which compact service offices will appear throughout the country under the territorial administrations from January 1, 2027. From the same date, as reported by Upl.uz with reference to the press service of the Pension Fund, the fund will stop accepting paper documents.

The resolution also supplements the list of services without a separate application: in particular, the pension will continue to be paid after replacing a passport or ID-card, and citizens who have reached 100 years old will be automatically assigned a surcharge. An electronic pension certificate will be created automatically - in the pensioner's office on the Unified Portal of Interactive State Services or in the "Social Card" application. Pensioners abroad who receive non-cash payments will be able to confirm their right to a pension through MyID once every three months.
