The National House of Social Insurance (CNAS) is in the process of scanning the data from employment record books for including information about the insurance period until January 1, 1999 in the accounts of persons who receive social welfare. The employers need to take the employment record books of persons who worked for them until January 1, 1990 to the local office of the CNAS for being scanned.
Contacted by IPN, Clara Sorocean, head of the CNAS Taxpayers Division, said that after scanning these, the National House of Social Insurance will return the employment record books to employers that, for their part, will issue them to employees by the end of this December. The unemployed private individuals can ask the CNAS to scan their employment record books, but are not obliged to do so.
The CNAS scans only the data concerning the insurance period until January 1, 1999 as the information about the social insurance contributions paid by each insured person after this date was already included in the personal account of each taxpayer, which also contains information about the worked period.
The data about the insurance period until January 1, 1999 can be confirmed when setting the pension based on information from the personal account following the modification of the legislation. If the employment record book was lost or damaged, the recipient of pension presents additional confirmative documents, such as the employment order or dismissal order from the institution where this worked.
Clara Sorocean noted that even if the whole information is scanned, the employment record book remains a document that is presented at request. “Only the filling out of the employment record book is annulled, not yet the document,” she stated.
The employment record books will be withdrawn from circulation as of next January.
