<h3>Old-Age Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Old-age pension:</span> The value of the insured's pension is linked to the number of contributions made and the contribution rate chosen by the insured. Each monthly contribution is converted into pension points by dividing total monthly contributions (insured person and employer) by the value of the pension point used to calculate the pension contribution. At retirement, an annual pension is calculated by multiplying the insured's total lifetime pension points by the value of the pension point used to calculate the pension benefit. The benefit is paid monthly.</p>
|
|
<p>The value of the pension point used to calculate the pension contribution is €17.36792. The value of the pension point used to calculate the pension benefit is €2.17099.</p>
|
|
<p>Spouse's supplement: 10% of the insured's monthly pension is paid. If the spouse receives a pension in his or her own right, the spouse's pension is topped up to equal 10% of the insured's pension.</p>
|
|
<p>Benefits are payable abroad.</p>
|
|
<p>Benefit adjustment: Benefits are adjusted annually according to the value of the pension point. The pension point is adjusted annually according to changes in the consumer price index.</p>
|
|
<h3>Permanent Disability Benefits</h3>

|
<p><span class="h4">Disability pension:</span> 30% of the insured's average monthly earnings in the last 12 months before the disability began is paid for a Category A, Group <abbr title="one">I</abbr> disability; 50% for a Category A Group <abbr title="two">II</abbr> disability; 75% for a Category A Group <abbr title="three">III</abbr> disability; and 90% for a Category B disability.</p>
|
|
<p>The disability pension is replaced by the <span class="nobr">old-age</span> pension at age 65. If the <span class="nobr">old-age</span> pension is lower than the disability pension, the <span class="nobr">old-age</span> pension is raised up to the level of the disability pension.</p>
|
|
<p>Benefits are payable abroad.</p>
