Congressman Jerrold Nadler, representative of the biggest migrant
community from the USSR, presented a project of pensions for
immigrants from the former USSR living in the USA, Trend reports.
The congressman believes that people working for decades and
contributing to the pension fund have the right to pensions,
regardless of where they live.
The State Department and social support services will supervise the
issue. Tens of thousands of immigrants from the USSR live in the USA.
They receive no pensions. A supporter of CIS migrants in Brooklyn,
Jerrold Nadler began efforts to provide them with pensions in 2006.
The 15 former Soviet republics hardly pay pensions to any of their
migrants abroad.
