Tajikistan has introduced the "Smart Money" electronic system, which automatically stops pension payments upon registration of a pensioner's death. This innovation is aimed at increasing transparency in budget spending and preventing unjustified payments. This was announced today at a press conference by Tajikistan's Minister of Finance, Kahhorzoda Fayziddin Sattor .
According to him, the system was developed by the Social Insurance and Pensions Agency jointly with the Ministry of Health and Social Protection of the Population, the Ministry of Justice, the State Institution "Center for Digitalization of the Social Sphere", and the State Unitary Enterprise "Smart City".
The Minister noted that thanks to the integration of information systems, death registration information is automatically transferred to the Social Insurance and Pensions Agency database. Once the information is confirmed, pension payments are terminated without the need for further inquiries from government agencies.
As noted, the implementation of the system has made it possible to eliminate cases of unjustified transfers of pension funds after the death of their recipients, increase the efficiency of pension system administration, and ensure a more rational use of budgetary resources.
Furthermore, as part of digitalization, the development of the Unified State Register of Pensioners and the implementation of modern electronic services aimed at improving the social insurance and pension system in the country continue.
