Nizhny Novgorod residents risk lower pensions due to flawed work records
Residents of Nizhny Novgorod Region could receive lower pensions in the future due to mistakes in their work record books. The region has also announced its minimum insurance-based pension for 2026, but errors in employment history may still affect individual payments. Russia’s Social Fund has the authority to exclude incorrect entries when calculating benefits.
Work record books in Russia have long been prone to inaccuracies, even as the system shifts to digital records. Common problems include wrong employer names, incorrect start dates, and job titles that don’t match official staffing documents. These mistakes can lead to certain work periods being ignored when calculating pensions.
Employers can fix errors by checking archived files and personnel orders, if available. However, not all discrepancies can be resolved, leaving some workers with incomplete records. The Social Fund may then exclude unconfirmed employment periods, reducing future pension amounts. While digital records have cut down on mistakes, they haven’t removed them entirely. Residents in Nizhny Novgorod Region must now verify their work histories to avoid financial losses in retirement.
The region has set its minimum insurance-based pension for 2026, but individual payments could still drop if work records contain unresolved errors. Workers are advised to review their employment history and correct any inaccuracies through their former employers. Without fixes, some may lose out on pension contributions tied to disputed work periods.
