What you need to get a pension supplement for children

Only one of the parents can be granted a pension supplement for a child. However, the supplement is not provided for children who are persons with disabilities since childhood or children with disabilities.

The pensioner must provide a list of documents confirming that the citizen does not receive income that is the basis for the calculation of the unified social contribution. These are:

• employment record book or information on employment from the register of insured persons;
