Up to 60 days of unpaid leave will be considered for work and insurance experience over the next year. This is proposed by the GERB deputies with amendments to the state social security bill.
Thus, people with unpaid leave due to coronary crisis will not lose the right to a pension or unemployment benefit due to interruption of service.
The law now provides for up to 30 days of unpaid leave to be taken into account. With the changes, this period will double to 60 days. These corrections were made in May due to the state of emergency in the country.
The state social security law was approved in first reading last week and the deadline for submitting proposals expired on Friday before being considered in second reading.
This package also includes the new moments in pensions. As “24 Chasa” wrote, GERB proposes that the lower coefficient of reduction of the second pensions, as well as the recalculation of those of the police and military, who have retired in the last 5 years, come into effect on September 1, 2021. Due to their early retirement, they already receive a state pension, but it has been reduced by 20% due to private contributions. However, they will receive a second pension after reaching normal retirement age.
The new formula for reducing the state pension should factor in 12% state insurance and the years without contributions to private funds, the government proposes. She should give
about 10%
reduction of
the NSSI pension
The pensions of the military and police will be recalculated in accordance with it and will therefore increase.
Retired uniformed officers are once again entitled to transfer their money from private funds to the National Institute of Social Security, and therefore their state pension will not be reduced at all. They already had that deadline at the end of 2016. According to the data at that time, more than 20,000 pensioners of the Ministry of the Interior and Defense system have returned their money to the state insurance institute.
Due to the increase in the salaries of doctors and police officers next year, more income from social security contributions is expected by almost BGN 54 million.
Otherwise, the state proposes to increase the minimum pension by 20% to BGN 300 from January 1. As of the same date, the limit becomes BGN 1,440. All other pensions will be updated by 5% starting July 1. Therefore, the average pension will reach BGN 489.
The bonus of BGN 50 for each pension will be delivered until the end of March.
The maximum insurance income is frozen at BGN 3. As of January 1, the minimum wage will be raised from BGN 610 to BGN 650.
Despite criticism from the opposition that this is an electoral budget,
all parties
offer
higher pensions
starting next year.
The BSP insists on a new calculation based on 2016 revenue, as it will happen from July 1, 2021. However, according to estimates, such a move would cost more than BGN 1.6 billion. This will narrow the gap between old and new pensions, but there will be an increase only for guilty retirees. The money will come from raising the minimum wage to BGN 720, as well as the maximum insurance income to BGN 3,900, however, the left calculates.
The minimum unemployment benefit instead of 12 BGN per day to become 17.50 BGN, and the maximum – from 74.29 BGN to 102.85 BGN Maternity in the second year to reach 650 BGN, are the proposals presented by the BSP.
Socialist Georgi Gokov proposes increasing the weight of seniority in the pension formula from 1.2 to 1.3. Thus, everyone’s pensions will go up 10%. The group on the left also wants broader access for the poorest adults to the old-age social pension. It must be given to people over 70 years of age, if in the last year their money is below the guaranteed minimum income. Now the income of the other members of the family is taken into account.
The state has planned to increase the old-age social pension from BGN 141.63 to BGN 148.71 as of July 1, 2021.
The chairman of the parliamentary commission for social affairs, Dr. Hassan Ademov of the MRF, proposes to upgrade pensions under the Swiss government by 5% from January 1 and not from July. And he insists that the coefficient for each year of service, which is taken into account when calculating the pension, be increased from 1.2 to 1.3, as was originally set with the beginning of the pension reform at the time of the Minister of Finance. Social Affairs Ivaylo Kalfin. This means an increase of each pension by another 10%.
MRF wants maternity leave to increase from BGN 380 to BGN 420 in the second year. Progressive Socialists, the recently separated BSP MPs, propose to equalize it with the minimum wage next year (BGN 650). and the maximum unemployment benefit will be 108 BGN per day. To have money, it is necessary to increase the maximum insurance income to 3,600 BGN, they calculate.
The people of Veselin Mareshki also made their proposals between the two readings of the State Social Security Law. 350 BGN should be the minimum pension, Volia MPs suggest. In addition, they also want the 5% indexation of pensions to take effect from the new year, and not from the second half of the year. Volia is the only party that insists on lowering the pension ceiling.
