A few days ago, the case of mother Qamile Marrë, 114 years old, was made public, whose family members said that they had difficulties to receive her old-age pension with the claim that she has passed her age.
The director of DRSSH in Berat, Engjëllushe Llane, explained the case in question to the media. She said that for people over 100 years old, the records are verified and then the physical contact.
Llane added that this issue has been misinformed in the media, because as she explains, after the old woman's son brought documents that the mother is alive, and after the physical verification was done, her pension was generated.
" Berat district over 38 thousand pensioners. The Insurance Institute makes the payment of pensioners and the verifications and clarifications in accordance with the legal basis and through controls.
The Social Security Institute verifies all pensioners over 100 years old, verifies the records and physical contact of those over 100 years old. This is because they authorize relatives to withdraw the pension.
Regarding the case of the lady, the 114-year-old pensioner, I must inform you about the disinformation that has been made in some media, as if Mrs. Qamile has not withdrawn her pension or because of her age, she has not been able to pay, which are not true.
On January 25, her son brought documents that her mother is living, after we also did the present verification, on the 26th we generated Qamile's mother's pension, and on this date we made a phone call. On the 27th, the agent paid the beneficial pension salary , "said Llane.
We remember that it was the family members of the 114-year-old who said that they had difficulties to receive her old-age pension. The daughter-in-law of the 114-year-old told reporters that her mother-in-law had not received the pension because they were told that she had passed the age and that documents were needed to prove if the old woman was still alive.
