Pension question, Slovenia

Do Slovenian pensioners abroad need a certificate of life?

ZPIZ also lists, for recipients living abroad, an obligation to send a certificate showing they are alive. A change of payment account reaching ZPIZ after the fifth of a month takes effect only the next month.

Questions people also ask

How far back is a pension paid?

ZPIZ states the pension runs from the day the conditions are met but at most from the first day of the following month and six months back, so delay past that line goes unpaid.
