The pensions of former military and police officers who have benefited from early retirement in the last 5 years will be recalculated and will be increased as of September 1, 2021. This change will be proposed by GERB in the Social Security Code between the first and second reading of the State Social Security Law. . The calculation of the reduction of the first pension is for people who will receive a second from private funds.
“The first pensioners of the universal pension fund are expected to retire in September 2021. In this sense, in order to ensure the possibility of granting Social Security pensions with a reduction with the so-called reduction coefficient determined by the new normative ”, explained Svetlana Angelova from COAT OF ARMS.
Otherwise, the deputies of the Budget and Social Commission approved the State Social Security Law on first reading.
As “24 Chasa” wrote, due to their early retirement, privately insured military and police officers are already receiving a state pension., but reduced by 20%. 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. It should give a reduction of about 9% of the pension of the National Institute of Social Security. The pensions of the military and policemen 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 thousand pensioners from the Ministry of the Interior and Defense system have returned their money to the state institute.
The state proposes that the minimum pension be raised from BGN 250 to BGN 300 from January 1. From the same date, the maximum will be increased, which will be BGN 1,440. As of July 1, all other pensions will be increased equally under the Swiss rule by 5%, so that there is justice and no harm. BGN 50 pension bonus that will be received at the end of March. These parameters were presented to the deputies by the Deputy Minister of Social Affairs, Zornitsa Rusinova. He explained that control is being strengthened to stop fraud with pensions and sick leave. The bill provides for a fine of up to BGN 5000 if a person has received money from the state with false documents. In addition, an amendment to the Penal Code is proposed so that that person can be punished with 2 to 8 years in prison.
One more year, the maximum insurance income is frozen at BGN 3,000, so the budget loses between BGN 2 and 3 billion a year, explained Vanya Grigorova from Podkrepa. Frozen maternity and maximum unemployment benefits are also a problem for unions. They also have criticism of the payment phase of the second pensions. In addition to the 60/40 measure, for which next year’s budget has allocated 300 million BGN, according to Vanya Grigorova, however, they are for the payments of the measure until the end of this year.
Our political group will not support the budget of the State Social Security, explained the BSP deputy and deputy director of the Red Group Vessela Lecheva. According to her, it violates the solidarity and justice of the system. The way in which the minimum pension is raised and the additional BGN 50 supplement to each pension is deeply unfair and does not solve the problems that have accumulated for years, as well as the problem of the difference between the old and the new pensions. This is a deep bitterness for all those people who have secured and contributed to this system, Lecheva was categorical. According to her, among the other disadvantages of the budget are frozen maternity leave and other payments, which do not solve the country’s demographic problems. The BSP will propose changes between the first and second reading.
There is nothing social left in the indiscriminate distribution of money. Money is spent to buy votes, said Georgi Gokov of the BSP.
