Along with the November pension, the average extra pension supplement of HUF 78,000 will be transferred on Friday, and Magyar Posta will start deliveries on this day, the government spokesperson said on Facebook.
In a video shared on her social media page, Alexandra Szentkirályi said: the supplement will be paid retroactively until January, thus ensuring the inflationary pension increase "even with the current increased war and sanctions inflation".
He indicated that the payment affects 2.5 million people: old-age pensioners and those receiving pension-like benefits.
Alexandra Szentkirályi pointed out that the government is spending almost HUF 190 billion on the additional pension increase.
He continued that
the amount of the supplement - adjusted to annual inflation - is 3.5 percentage points, which means HUF 6,500 per month for an average pension of HUF 210,000, and almost HUF 85,000 per year, including the 13th monthly pension.
He added that the pension supplement will also reach those who do not receive their pension by bank transfer, but will receive it by the postman.
"I would also like to assure the elderly that
In January, we will raise pensions again, by another six percent, because we estimate next year's inflation to such an extent"
- stated the government spokesperson, adding that the increased 13th monthly pension will also arrive in February.
He also went on to say that the government is aware that utilities and food prices are particularly important to pensioners, which is why the cabinet insists on reducing utilities, "even if Brussels wants to cancel it." Food prices were "targeted" with the online price watcher and the "multis" were persuaded by the government to reduce food prices, he said.
