Pensioners in the Czech Republic are furious. The state tricked them with another fee. Precious money in wonder

As it seems, the state and its authorities are no longer as lenient towards pensioners as before. Not only are pensions not growing at nearly the rate we were used to, but also various fees are being charged that reduce people’s pensions.

Nothing will be free anymore

In recent months, for example, there was an increase in the fee for withdrawing a pension in cash at Czech Post branches. This is a method that is still used by a considerable number of people. Simply because they don’t have a bank account and are used to working only with cash.

You will now pay CZK 35 for each such cash withdrawal. At the same time, the trend is inexorable and it is likely that this fee will continue to grow. At the same time, it is a specially determined price that is outside the tariff list of the Czech Post. As soon as you withdraw your pension in this way, the fee will be deducted from it and only the remaining part will be paid out.

At the same time, it has a solution, which, however, many pensioners will not like at all. They can apply for a cashless payment of their pension. In this case, the pension will simply be credited to your account on the given pay day. It is of course more convenient because you don’t have to go anywhere. However, the question is whether people should be forced into it by increasing their fees.

One charge after another

At the same time, there is another fee that the Czech Social Security Administration has levied on pensioners of a similar rank. He will now charge them a financial sum for sending them a pension valorization notification by post. At the same time, it is a service that was completely free until now.

However, that is changing. If you want to have a lejstro for valorization, expect to pay for it. The price will be based on how much the ČSSZ will cost for sending and the services of the Czech Post. However, it will also be possible to bypass this fee by having the notification sent to your email or mailbox. But are we really sure that all pensioners know enough how to use a computer?

All these steps can also lead to a lot of confusion, when pensioners will try to avoid fees and at the same time fall for various fraudsters who promise them some help.
