|
|
<p><span class="h4">Current law:</span> 1995.</p>

|
<p><span class="h4">Type of program:</span> Social insurance system.</p>
|
|

|
|
<p><span class="h4">Employer:</span> 19.5% of payroll.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Government:</span> Any deficit.</p>

<h3>Qualifying Conditions</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Old-age pension:</span> Since January 1, 1996, the retirement age has been gradually increasing by 2 months per year for men and by 4 months per year for women. The target retirement age, from January 1, 2007, is age 62 (men) and age 57 to 61 years (women), according to number of children raised. Retirement will be based on 25 years of insurance (15 years if aged 65). In 2002, the retirement age is 61 years and 2 months (men); age 55 and 4 months or age 59 and 4 months (women). Substantial limitation of work is necessary during the first 2 years following the retirement age.</p>
|
|
<p>Early retirement: Retirement is possible up to 3 years before the normal retirement age. All employment must cease.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Disability pension:</span> Total disability (66% loss of earning capacity) or partial disability (33% loss of earning capacity) with 5 years of insurance in the last 10 years (up to 4 years if under age 28).</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Survivor pension:</span> Deceased met pension requirements or was a pensioner at the time of death.</p>
|
|
<h3>Old-Age Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Old-age pension:</span> The pension is calculated from two elements: a flat-rate basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus an earnings-related percentage amount calculated from the personal assessment base (PAB) and the number of years of insurance.</p>
|
|
<p>PAB: Originally based on the average gross earnings over the 10 years preceding retirement, this period is being extended by 1 year every year until it reaches a total of 30 calendar years. Currently, this period covers all years since 1985. The value of the old-age pension is calculated using 1.5% of the personal assessment base per year of insurance (no maximum). Monthly earnings are variably included within the personal assessment base as follows:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Up to 7,100 CZK, 100% inclusion.</li>
|
|
<li>7,100 CZK to 16,800 CZK, 30% inclusion.</li>
|
|
<li>Over 16,800 CZK, 10% inclusion.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<p>Minimum pension: The minimum pension is 2,080 CZK, calculated as the basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus a percentage amount of 770 CZK.</p>
|
|
<p>Deferred retirement: For every 90 days of economic activity during which the claim for an old-age pension is postponed, an increase of 1.5% of the personal assessment base is provided.</p>
|
|
<p>Temporarily reduced early pension: Available 2 years prior to the normal retirement age provided that the insured person (1) has accumulated a minimum of 25 years of insurance and has been registered with a Labor Office as a job applicant for at least 180 days, or (2) has received a partial or a full disability pension for at least 5 years and entitlement to a disability pension has expired within 5 years of reaching normal retirement age. The pension is reduced by 1.3% of the personal assessment base for every (even incomplete) period of 90 days prior to normal retirement age, but the pension is fully restored upon reaching normal retirement age.</p>
|
|
<p>Permanently reduced early pension: Available up to 3 years prior to normal retirement age; the actual date of retirement is left to the claimant's discretion. The claimant must have at least 25 years of contributions. The pension is reduced by 0.9% for every (even incomplete) 90-day period preceding the normal retirement age. This reduction is permanent and continues after the recipient reaches normal retirement age.</p>
|
|
<h3>Permanent Disability Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Disability pension:</span> The full disability pension is calculated as a basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus a percentage amount calculated from the personal assessment base (1.5% of the calculation base for every year of insurance). The anticipated insurance period is credited to the pension from the onset of the disability to the normal retirement age.</p>
|
|
<p>Minimum disability pension: The minimum disability pension is 2,080 CZK, calculated as the basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus a percentage amount of 770 CZK.</p>
|
|
<p>There is no maximum disability pension.</p>
|
|
<p>Partial disability: Calculated as a basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus a percentage amount set at 0.75% of the personal assessment base for every year of insurance.</p>
|
|
<p>Minimum partial disability pension: The minimum partial disability pension is 1,695 CZK plus a percentage amount of 385 CZK.</p>
|
|
<p>There is no maximum partial disability pension.</p>
|
|
<h3>Survivor Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Widow and widower pension:</span> Calculated as a basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus 50% of the percentage amount of the deceased's pension. Payable to all widows or widowers for 1 year; thereafter, only to widows aged 55 or widowers aged 58, or any age if disabled, caring for dependent or disabled child or for disabled parent.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Orphan's pension:</span> Calculated as a basic amount of 1,310 CZK plus 40% of the percentage amount of the deceased's pension for each dependent child (for full orphans, the basic amount is payable only once).</p>
|
|
<p>The value of the pension is increased due to disability. In the case of partial incapacity, the value is increased by 20% of the subsistence minimum; in the case of a predominant incapacity, by 40%; or in the case of complete incapacity, by 75%.</p>
