The Pension and Disability Insurance Fund (PIOM) signed an agreement for regular exchange of benefits and mortality data with the institutions for mandatory Austrian pension insurance from Austria – the Pension Insurance Institution (PVA), the Social Insurance Service for Entrepreneurs (SVS) and the Insurance Institution for Employees in Public Services, Railways and Mining Industry (BVAEB).
The agreement was signed by Pension and Disability Insurance Fund head Nikola Memov, and Winfred Pingera on behalf of the Austrian institutions.
The agreement regulates the scope and manner of data exchange, as well as their security and protection, which are of exceptional importance for the work of the institutions, as well as for trust in the pension system.
