Under the abbreviation SNILS there is a rather long and complicated name: "insurance number of an individual personal account". In everyday life it is also called an "insurance" or "pension certificate" - this is the same name light green plastic card containing data on the place and date of birth and directly the insurance number of the citizen. The SNILS was introduced in 1999 with the aim of passing through the definition of citizens in the pension insurance system. Recall that mandatory pension insurance is the compensation of earnings received by a person throughout his life until he reaches a certain (retirement) age. Initially, data on the insurance period and contributions paid to the personal account were only grounds for the appointment and recalculation of the pension. However, as early as April 2011, the insurance number is applied as an identifier of a person receiving any state and municipal services, from medical assistance to preferential travel.

And a maximum of a week after receiving SNILSov the employer will have to give them to employees.
