The Parliamentary Committee on Social Protection has endorsed the draft that provides that people who remain in work after their retirement age will receive higher allowances.
According to the document, the allowances of those who retired by 1999 and who have been working longer than 15 years after the entitlement to retirement will be doubled.
In 2019, approximately 2500 people will benefit from the changes and the average pension for this category will increase to 4770 lei. In 2020, over 5,500 people will benefit from the increase.
On average, the increases will be up to 3765 lei. The document also provides that beneficiaries may only request a re-examination of the pension once.
"What the Government made at the end of 2016 by amending the calculation formula for all retirees is really a great success. Today, pensioners calculating their pension under the new formula benefit from another pension. is good, but another pension, because those inequities were excluded", said Valentina Buliga, the head of the Social Protection Committee of the Parliament.
