Those who completed Mandatory Military Service (MMS) can now request online the inclusion of this period in their contributory career. Through a digital platform, citizens who performed military service can now register this time so that it is considered in the calculation of their future pensions and social benefits.
The measure allows the military service period to be counted as contribution time, something that was not previously provided for automatically in the social security system. This registration may be relevant for those who need to complete the minimum number of contribution years to have access to retirement.
The request process is done entirely online, through a platform made available by the competent authorities. Interested parties must provide documentation proving the completion of military service, such as certificates or discharge letters.
The initiative comes within the scope of an update to social security systems, allowing citizens with military service history to regularize their contributory situation without the need to travel in person to public offices.
