The National Pension Fund (CNAP) is urging all beneficiaries of pensions and allowances born in January to renew their supporting documents this month. This renewal process is crucial for ensuring the continued and uninterrupted disbursement of benefits.
CNAP has outlined two convenient methods for completing this mandatory renewal. The first, and most streamlined option, involves utilizing the ‘RetraiteDz’ mobile application. This application allows pensioners to complete the entire process remotely, eliminating the need for in-person visits to local CNAP agencies. The application leverages facial recognition technology (R-Face) to verify the identity of beneficiaries, whether they are receiving direct or transferred pensions.
Users of the ‘RetraiteDz’ application are required to scan the necessary documents using their smartphone’s camera and upload them directly through the app. Upon successful completion of the renewal, a confirmation notification will be sent to the beneficiary.
Alternatively, beneficiaries can choose to renew their documents in person by visiting their local CNAP agency. While this method requires a physical visit, it provides an opportunity for direct interaction with CNAP personnel.
CNAP emphasizes that this annual document renewal process is part of a broader initiative to improve administrative services and simplify procedures for pensioners. The fund has adopted a structured strategy for annual document renewal, organized according to the beneficiary’s birth month. This systematic approach aims to minimize disruption and ensure efficiency.
Required Documents for Annual Renewal:
- Direct Pension: Family status certificate (for married individuals) or life certificate (for single individuals).
- Transferred Pension: Requirements vary based on marital status and may include certificates of non-marriage, family certificates, school certificates or apprenticeship contracts for orphans, and certificates of non-employment for disabled children.
