Bill proposes early retirement for military members as risky work

Automatic summary, not yet reviewed

1. The bill would let members of the Armed Forces retire earlier. For each full year worked as a military member, a 0.20 reduction coefficient would apply, cutting the retirement age.
2. The minimum age to retire with this benefit would be 60, or 59 with 35 or more years of activity and contributions in the Armed Forces. The time gained would also count as contributed time when calculating the pension.
3. Military members under the State's passive classes pension system could request to move into the General Social Security system before retiring. An additional contribution rate would also apply for both employer and worker.
4. The system would only apply once the Government funds it in the General State Budgets. The law would take effect on January 1, 2026.

Who it affects

• Members of the Spanish Armed Forces: Could retire earlier with a 0.20 reduction coefficient for their years of service.
• Military members under the passive classes system: Could request to join the General Social Security system before retirement.
