State Duma explains why neighbors' pension payment dates may differ
Ekaterina Stenyakina, First Deputy Chair of the State Duma Committee on Agrarian Issues, said that the date a pension is received depends on the delivery method and the payment schedule in the region: a pensioner chooses only the method of receipt, not the day. When receiving via Russian Post, about three weeks are allotted for payout, and if the money is not collected for six months, the payment is suspended.
