The postal delivery of the 13th monthly pension to one million people will begin on Wednesday, and the rest of those affected will be transferred to their bank accounts on Friday, the parliamentary state secretary responsible for families said on his Facebook page on Tuesday.

In the video, Róbert Zsigó said that the 13th monthly pension, which comes with the regular monthly retirement benefit, will be received not only by old-age pensioners, but also by those who receive pension-like benefits, such as disability benefits and temporary widow's pensions, and a double amount will also come from orphan benefits, with which the government 56 helps educate thousands of children.

With this, the government is returning to the elderly the one-month pension that was taken from them by the Gyurcsány-Bajnai government, and is supporting the elderly with another HUF 371 billion, he pointed out.

With this, the government also wants to show its appreciation to the elderly and support them during the coronavirus epidemic, he added, emphasizing that the payment of the 13th monthly pension - as well as the pension premium from last November - is made possible by good economic performance.

Róbert Zsigó pointed out that: "the older people remember well" that during the Gyurcsány-Bajnai government, not only could they not count on extra support, but they even took away one month's pension, and in addition, the overheads were skyrocketed, and the visiting fee and the hospital daily fee were introduced .
