Separately, the Satu Mare County Pension House has issued a reminder to pensioners living abroad who receive payments from Romania. These individuals must submit a life certificate to their local pension house by September 30, 2026, to ensure continued payments. This requirement applies to those receiving funds via foreign or Romanian bank accounts without a designated official representative in Romania. The document must be signed in the presence of local authorities, such as a notary, lawyer, or diplomatic representative, and can be submitted via mail, fax, or email.
