Hopes for pension until the end of 2013

Pension until the end of the year for thousands of insured who have acquired the right to lower retirement age by the end of 2012.

According to the "Ethnos" newspaper article, the winners are those insured in the Public and Funds of SOEs and banks by the end of 1982. Those who did not manage to "lock" the right until the end of last year will follow an increased retirement age.

Specifically, from January 1, 2013, the full pension is paid at 67 years and the reduced one at 62 (alternatively a full pension is given at 62 but with 40 years of insurance).

Those who established their right until the end of 2012 can use a series of favorable provisions that allow even fifty-year-olds to proceed to retirement.

Older insured members may retire with 35 years regardless of the limit, while married women in some cases may even leave with 24 years and 6 months of insurance.

On the winners’ side stand also the mothers of minor children that established their retirement right by the end of 2012. By completing the required years of insurance and having a minor child they "lock" their right and can retire with the given age limit (it ranges between 50-60 years).
