Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The bill adds a new additional provision to the consolidated text of the General Social Security Law to set age reduction coefficients for the retirement age of the Galicia Coast Guard Service staff.
  2. The retirement age would be reduced by applying a 0.15 coefficient to the full years actually worked as Coast Guard Service staff or as members of the groups included in it. The resulting minimum age could not be below 60, or 59 if the person proves 35 or more years of activity and contributions in that job.
  3. The period by which the retirement age is reduced would count as contributed time only to determine the percentage applied to the base used to calculate the pension amount. These benefits would also apply to those who leave the corps but remain registered for a different job, under any Social Security scheme.
  4. The Government and the Ministry of Employment and Social Security would be authorized to issue the rules needed to apply and develop the law.
  5. The law is enacted under the State's exclusive power over Social Security, except for its articles 21 and 22, which rely on the State's exclusive power over labor legislation.
  6. It would take effect the day after its publication in the Official State Gazette (Boletín Oficial del Estado), except for measures that increase spending or reduce revenue in the current budget, which would take effect in the next fiscal year.

Who it affects

  • Staff of the Galicia Coast Guard Service: Could retire earlier, with an age reduced according to years worked in the service.
  • Groups that were included in the service, such as the former Resource Protection Service and the technical fishing surveillance grade: Would get the same reduction coefficient for their years worked.
  • Those who leave the corps but keep working in another job: Would keep the right to the reduced age and the contribution credit.
