The parliamentarians registered amendments to the Law on State Pensions for Judges proposing this.
“Currently, judges are the only recipients of state pensions who receive a state pension only when they reach retirement age. For those who have lost their ability to work, no state pension is currently paid. Compared to other age groups. beneficiaries of state pensions (scientists, soldiers, civil servants), judges who have been declared unfit to work are discriminated. They do not receive a pension, while scientists and soldiers who have been disabled receive state pensions. Such regulation, such as the we have now, it is unfair and disproportionate, ”says A. Širinskienė, Vice President for Law and Order.
According to R. Šalaševičiūtė, a member of the Seimas, the current regulation is an obvious loophole. “The reasons for such regulation have never been substantiated. Furthermore, as it stands now, it is socially irresponsible, since a particularly vulnerable group of people (recognized as disabled or partially disabled by judges) do not receive the right to state pensions, while that judges who receive a retirement pension can receive a state pension, especially since the state pension is paid to other groups of beneficiaries of the state pension on both bases, both upon reaching retirement age and upon becoming incapacitated for work, ”says Rimantė Šalaševičiūtė, a member of the Committee for Social Affairs and Labor.
Members of the Seimas expect the Seimas to consider proposed amendments to the law in the spring session.
