Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

  1. The law amends the Social Security Act so that the time women spent on mandatory female social service counts, up to a maximum of one year, toward the 33 years of contributions needed to access partial retirement. Until now, only military service and the substitute social service counted, which left women at a disadvantage.
  2. The same rule applies to the contribution requirements for partial retirement during the transitional period, with the particularity that people with a disability of 33 percent or more only need to prove 25 years of contributions.
  3. The preamble explains that Law 21/2021 had already recognized this computation for early retirement, but not for partial retirement, and that this law corrects that inequality following Recommendation 17 of the Toledo Pact on women and Social Security.
  4. The law takes effect on the day it is published in the Official State Gazette and is enacted under the State's authority over the economic regime of Social Security.

Who it affects

  • Women who performed the mandatory female social service and want to retire partially: They can count that time, up to a maximum of one year, as contributions to access the pension.
  • People with a disability of 33 percent or more: For partial retirement during the transitional period, they only need to prove 25 years of contributions.
  • Men who did military service or the substitute social service: Their situation does not change: that time already counted and still counts the same way.

Where does all this come from?

  • The data comes from the open files of the Congreso, the Senate and the BOE, unaltered.
  • Each deputy’s province is the one of their seat on the day of the vote.
  • We only say “passed” or “rejected” when the majority needed is certain; otherwise we say which side had more votes.
