In June 2016, the Hungarian government launched a reorganisation of the pension administration which will take place in two stages. The pension administration, currently a separate entity, will be first merged with units of the National Health Insurance Fund dealing with cash benefits and then integrated into the State Treasury. The entire process will be completed by 31 March 2017.
