Earlier retirement for National Police, Civil Guard and customs officers

Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

1. The bill would add a new provision to the Social Security Law allowing members of the National Police, the Civil Guard and officials of the Customs Surveillance Service to retire earlier, due to the dangerous nature of their work.
2. The retirement age would be reduced by applying a 0.20 reduction coefficient to the full years actually worked in those bodies. No one could retire before age sixty, except those who prove thirty-five or more years of activity and contributions, who could retire at fifty-nine.
3. The time by which the retirement age is reduced would count as contributions to calculate the pension amount. An additional contribution rate would also apply, for both employer and worker, on the common contingencies contribution base.
4. The system would only apply after the Government funds, in the next State Budgets, the annual amount of the surcharges needed. The law would enter into force the same day it is published in the Official State Gazette.
