"At one time, I worked two jobs: at my main job, and also — with the employer's permission — at an additional job, on a 'one day on, three days off' schedule. Social contributions were made for me at both jobs. As far as I understand, when calculating my pension, only the insurance period from my main job was taken into account for that period, and not from the additional job."
If I receive a certificate that I worked during that period at two jobs, can this be a basis for recalculating my pension upwards? Reader bb.lv
Liene Klismete, senior specialist of the Pension Methodology Department of the State Social Insurance Agency (VSAA):
– The insurance period after January 1, 1996, is not formed by the number of jobs but by the months during which social insurance contributions were made or should have been made for a person.
Thus, if a person worked at two jobs simultaneously, the number of months of insurance period does not increase. At the same time, if a person works at multiple jobs and social insurance contributions are made for them by several employers, this increases their pension capital.
The insurance period after January 1, 1996, is confirmed by data accumulated by the VSAA, which confirms the payment of insurance contributions. A certificate from the employer does not confirm the insurance period.
For detailed information about the pension, the reader should contact the VSAA.
