Re-examining old-age pensions

The re-examination of the amount of an old-age pension.

The re-examination of pension rights is carried out in the case of:

(a) the occurrence of new circumstances relating to the period of contribution, insured income, which occurred prior to the granting of pension rights;

b) transfer to another pension category;

c) persons who continue to work after becoming entitled to an old-age pension;

d) the amendment/completion of Articles 5 and 50 with provisions relating to the circumstances of non-contributory periods and activities, which have been completed before the pension is determined/reassessed.

Pension rights are also re-examined for pensioners who realized their pension entitlement before January 1, 1999, but only upon presentation of documents confirming the period of contribution.

Pensioners who are or have been in active employment after their entitlement to old-age pension has been realized/reassessed may apply for their pension to be reviewed no more often than once every two years, provided that the pension calculated in accordance with the information below is higher than the pension in payment.

The re-examination of old-age pensions is carried out on the basis of the accumulated contribution period after the entitlement to old-age pension has been realized, according to the staggered calculation.
