BILL TO BE PRESENTED IN FAVOR OF PENSIONERS

In considering the draft revised law on allowing additional benefits and discounts for seniors, the cabinet decided to submit it to the State Great Khural (Parliament).

Regardless of the current economic situation, the law initiators have worked out the draft with a vision to ensure wellbeing and comfort of the elder citizens, to provide them more opportunities to pass down their knowledge and experiences to the younger generations and to enable them to take active parts in the social life.

The government provided for the allowance of Longevity Grant for the elders, aged above 65 in its program of actions.

The new wording of the law allocates MNT 750 million of budget for encouraging the senior citizens’ participation in policymaking, allowing broader access to public services, organizing workshops on personal development, and providing clearer and accessible information on pensioner-related actions by the government.
