<h2>Old Age, Disability, and Survivors</h2>
|
|
<h3>Regulatory Framework</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">First and current law:</span> 1966.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Type of program:</span> Social insurance system.</p>
|
|
<h3>Coverage</h3>
|
|
<p>Employed persons.</p>
|
|
<p>Voluntary coverage for nonemployed persons.</p>
|
|
<h3>Source of Funds</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Insured person:</span> A choice of 2%, 4%, or 6% of earnings.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Self-employed person:</span> A choice of a flat-rate contribution of €90.64, €113.30, €135.96, €181.28, or €271.92 according to the chosen income band.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Employer:</span> 6% of payroll.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Government:</span> None.</p>
|
|
<p>All of the above contributions also finance work injury benefits.</p>
|
|
<p>There are no maximum earnings for contribution purposes.</p>
|
|
<h3>Qualifying Conditions</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Old-age pension:</span> Age 65.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Disability pension:</span> A loss of at least 2/3 of earning capacity. For an insured person under age 21, entitlement is based on 12 months of contributions; for an insured between ages 21 and 40, 36 months of contributions; for an insured between ages 41 and 65, 96 months of contributions.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Survivor pension:</span> The insured must have made 60 months of contributions. The pension is payable to a spouse aged 45 or older, disabled, or caring for a child aged under age 18.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Orphan's pension:</span> Payable to each dependent child who is not in paid employment.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Funeral grant:</span> Payable to eligible survivors. Eligible survivors (in order of entitlement) are the surviving spouse and dependent children, adult children, parents, grandparents, or any other immediate relative. In some cases, the funeral grant may be paid to the insurance fund that met the funeral costs.</p>
|
|
<h3>Old-Age Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Old-age pension:</span> The value of the pension is linked to the amount of contributions made. Each monthly contribution is converted into age pension points by dividing the monthly employee and employer contributions by the government-set purchase value of an age pension point for the relevant month. To calculate the pension, the acquired age pension points are converted into an annual pension figure by applying a set value to each pension point. The monthly pension is equivalent to 1/12 of the result of this calculation.</p>
|
|
<p>The pension point's set value is regularly adjusted according to the retail price index.</p>
|
|
<p>The minimum pension is based on 5,000 age pension points. The pension is paid to insured persons with at least 960 points, including 180 months of contributions since 1968 and at least 60 months of paid employment before then.</p>
|
|
<p>Spouse supplement: Pensions are increased by 10% if the insured's spouse is aged 65 or older and is not eligible for a pension in his or her own right.</p>
|
|
<h3>Permanent Disability Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Disability pension:</span> The pension is calculated according to the basis salary (the mean monthly salary of the 12 months preceding the onset of disability) and the assessed degree of disability:</p>
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Group I—an individual who is able to perform some type of work receives 30% of the basis salary;</li>
|
|
<li>Group II—an individual who is unable to perform any type of work receives 50% of the basis salary;</li>
|
|
<li>Group III—an individual who is unable to perform any type of work and who is in need of constant attendance receives 75% of the basis salary.</li>
|
|
</ul>
|
|
<h3>Survivor Benefits</h3>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Survivor pension:</span> 50% of the insured's old-age pension; if death occurs before retirement, the equivalent of the old-age pension calculated on the basis of half the total pension points acquired by the deceased.</p>
|
|
<p><span class="h4">Orphan's pension:</span> 10% of the insured's old-age pension is payable to each eligible child; if death occurs before retirement, the equivalent of the old-age pension calculated on the basis of 10% of the total pension points acquired by the deceased.</p>
|
|
<p>The maximum orphan pension is 50% of the insured's actual or prospective pension.</p>
