Procedure regarding the conclusion, modification, termination of the social insurance contract*
In the public pension system, any person can be insured, on the basis of a social insurance contract, for the purpose of obtaining the old-age pension and, as the case may be, for supplementing the insured income used to calculate this category of pension.
The social insurance contract is concluded between the interested person or, as the case may be, their guardian, curator, or representative designated by special power of attorney and the competent territorial pension house, depending on the domicile or residence of the person.
The social insurance contract is concluded in written form and produces effects from the date of its registration at the territorial pension house.
The insured income entered in the social insurance contract can be modified, at the initiative of the insured, by concluding an additional act to the social insurance contract.
The insured income entered in the social insurance contract on the basis of which the social insurance contribution is calculated is modified, at the initiative of the insurer, namely the territorial pension house, by notifying the insured, whenever the insured monthly income is lower than the minimum level provided by law.
The social insurance contract can be terminated at the initiative of either party, according to the clauses stipulated in the contract.
The social insurance contract is terminated at the initiative of the territorial pension house in the case of non-payment of the social insurance contribution for a period of 6 consecutive months.
In the event of termination of the social insurance contract, the social insurance contributions paid are not refunded, and the contribution period realized is valued when establishing the pension right.

Procedure regarding the review of pension rights*
Old-age pensioners who, after the date of registering for pension, achieve contribution periods, may request the recalculation of the pension, under the conditions of the law. The recalculated pension is granted starting from the month following the one in which the recalculation request was submitted.
If, after the establishment and/or payment of pension rights, differences are found between the established and/or paid amounts and the amounts legally due, the territorial pension house operates, ex officio or at the request of the pensioner, the necessary modifications, by revision decision. The amounts resulting from the revision of pension rights are granted or recovered, as the case may be, within the general prescription term of 3 years, calculated from the date these differences are found.
The pension may be recalculated by adding incomes and/or contribution periods, provided by law, not taken into account when establishing it, or periods achieved after retirement, or in the case of submitting corrective declarations that modify the incomes and/or contribution periods initially valued when establishing it.
