The Pension Directorate at the National Social Security Institute (NOI) announced details about the upcoming euro introduction, emphasizing that financial amounts will remain unchanged during currency conversion. The institution's experts have developed a detailed plan for a smooth transition to the new monetary unit.
According to a statement by Director Lyubomira Yazadzhieva, currency conversion will be performed automatically, without requiring additional actions from pensioners or social payment recipients. The institution offers the opportunity for preliminary checking of future amounts through electronic services.
A key moment in the process is applying the official exchange rate without reductions, with rounding always being in favor of citizens. This approach is regulated in the Euro Introduction Law and guarantees financial security for recipients.
NOI's information systems have been completely redesigned to function correctly in euros from January 1, 2026. In parallel with digital channels, the institution is also preparing information materials on paper to help citizens adapt to the new currency.
Among the social security institute's priorities is maximum transparency and communication. Through various channels - electronic services, media, and printed materials - NOI aims to provide complete clarity regarding the upcoming currency change.
A key message from the management is that euro introduction will not threaten the amount of social payments in any way, but will ensure alignment with European financial standards.
