It affects those granted until the end of 2014.
Recalculating all with 2015 revenue will cost 133 million per month
At least 1.1 million retirees will receive an increase in income by recalculating their pensions. So far, the Minister of Social Affairs, Denitsa Sacheva, has focused on this option, it was clear in her statement Thursday.
The new pension calculation will be discussed by the coalition council of GERB and United Patriots as an alternative to the BGN 50 bonds, which the government distributed in August, September and October to all pensioners. Together with the new calculation, an increase in the minimum pension to BGN 300 will be approved from the beginning of next year. Currently the lowest is BGN 250.
“There are two or three options, but it is a matter of political decision. My point of view as a social minister is that
must be
recalculate
the lower ones
pensions for
to be preserved
Justice
and the structure of the pension model ”, explained the Minister of Social Affairs, Denitsa Sacheva.
Currently, the budget provides 106 million BGN per month for a supplement of 50 BGN for all pensioners.
“This is around 1.2 billion BGN per year, and with the same amount the pensions of 1.1 million pensioners could be recalculated, so that a balance can be made between the pensions of people who have retired after 2015., and those who have retired before ”, explained the Minister of Social Affairs to bTV.
The increase under the scheme described by Minister Sacheva will affect all pensions, which so far amount to 400 BGN and are granted until the end of 2014. Exactly that option has been developed at the National Institute of Social Security for the next council meeting from the coalition, said a source. NSSI. For the rest of pensioners who have received pensions since the beginning of 2015, it will not be possible to recalculate, as they are calculated on a higher insurance income.
They are still on the table and the options are only to increase the minimum pensions to 300 BGN and continue to distribute 50 BGN to each pensioner for at least three months until the end of the year and the first three in early 2021.
However, Deputy Prime Minister and IMRO leader Krassimir Karakachanov also spoke in support of the recalculation on Thursday. However, he clarified that for now the political agreement is only to raise the minimum pension to 300 BGN.
The National Social Security Institute will also have to develop an option to recalculate all pensions awarded up to the end of 2014 with the 2015 insurance proceeds, in order to see if the budget can afford such an increase. With this option, the new calculation should already affect more than 2 million pensioners, that is, almost all of those who have a pension for seniority and seniority. And some 100,000 people will remain outside.
Last year’s NSSI accounts showed that the resources required for the recalculation of all old pensions
with the average
safe
2015 revenue
It is around
BGN 133.3 million
per month,
or 1.6 billion BGN per year. Nor will it increase everyone’s pensions, because it will affect around 74% of retirees.
One of the problems is that in recent years the government has only increased the minimum pension and the rest has increased under Swiss rule. This also violates the principles of the insurance system. The other is that there is a growing gap between old and new pensions. Therefore, the difference between people with the same contribution to the system can reach around BGN 200 just because they have retired now, not 10 years ago.
The last pension recalculation was in 2008 with 2007 income.
