Automatic summary, not yet reviewed
- The bill would include members of the National Police Corps, the Civil Guard and officials of the Customs Surveillance Service among the groups entitled to a reduced retirement age due to the dangerous nature of their work. They are currently not listed as risk professions.
- The retirement age would be reduced by applying a 0.20 coefficient to the full years actually worked in those bodies. No one could retire before age 60, except those with 35 or more years of service, who could retire at 59.
- The time by which the retirement age is reduced would count as contributions when calculating the pension amount. An additional contribution rate would also apply on the common contingency contribution base, for both employer and worker.
- The system would only apply once the Government funds the annual amount of the surcharged contributions in the upcoming General State Budgets. The law would enter into force on January 1, 2025.
