Pension payments

[Irina Shevelenko]

Pensions are never paid in checks, and other payments (wages, etc) are never
made in Russia by checks either. All pensioners technically have an account in
a bank (in a particular bank authorised by the municipal authorities to
process pensions operations), to which their pension payments go, but
physically people just come to the post office or bank and receive cash. (If
pensioners are unable to come in person, cash may be delivered to their
homes.)
