The rules regarding the early retirement could be changed in package 3 measures. The retirement age computer

The rules on early retirement could be changed through package 3 of measures that will be finalized in a week, although no one confirms that the conditions for those who want to retire would be taken into account.

Many Romanians submit these days to retirement files, for fear of tightening the rules

Currently, the law allows the Romanians who have exceeded the complete contribution period with five years to request the early retirement maximum five years before the deadline, but the amount of the pension is diminished in proportion to each month of anticipation.

Thus, a woman born in 1967 (the generation of decrees) can retire early in October 2030, even without penalty, if she has a 40 -year -old job of 35 years.

The government intends to tighten these rules, so that Romanians stay longer in the field of work, reducing easy access to early retirement, as sources close to discussions for “truth”.

Officially, however, no politician confirms this. PSD voices have stated that “something that can't be“Suggesting that the measure would endanger the life of the Bolojan cabinet.

About three weeks ago, Prime Minister Ilie Bolojan said he would like the Romanians to stay longer in the field of work.

“We are on the penulitm in Europe in the number of citizens in the active population involved in the economy. Between 55 and 64 years, only 53% of Romanians work. The others have retired, through different exceptions, or do not work, some are leaving the country, but are not directly involved in the economy. We need to take a pack of measures to have more people in the economy“, Said Bolojan.

“We need to reduce the exceptions related to early retirement age and increase the retirement age for these categories, as close to the standard age. Not the standard age must be raised in Romania today, because we have many exceptions. It's a measure of social equity and economic stability“, Added the prime minister.

Why does the government want the Romanians to stay longer in the field of work

Economist Alexandru Chirilă recently explained the main problems facing the public pension system, including increased life expectancy among the elderly and decreasing the number of young employees.

“The current pension system has been thought of as a contribution system in which, the active population suffers the pensions of those withdrawn for a life expectancy of 10-15 years. But the fact that we have quality food, a decent standard of living, medicines, medical services, we have an extension of life, which is why the pension system must support a period for a longer period. We also discuss on these figures, Romania decreases and ages”, Said Chirila in a program registered by AFP.

According to data at European level, Romania will have fewer taxpayers and more pensioners.

“The weight of the 65 years plus reaches over 30%. Here we have the following report (employees: pensioners “). From 3: 1 today, even to 2: 1, even at 1.5: 1 in some regions. So, according to the report, we will have fewer taxpayers and more pensioners who will live more and more.”said Alexandru Chirilă.

The ideal taxpayer in Finland: The one who dies on the first day of retirement

The specialist in Finance and Economy makes a parallel to a statistic in Finland. “The ideal citizen in Finland is the one who dies on the first day of retirement. I also took note of this statistics. In fact, this portrait of the ideal citizen, the Finns with a real cynicism say that it is the one who contributes until the last day of work and dies on the first day of retirement“Said Chirila.

How big is the penalty for early retirement

Hundreds of thousands of Romanians, including the women of the “decree” can retire from the summer of 2025, under certain conditions, according to the new pension law, which entered into force in the autumn of last year.

According to the information consulted by “Adevărul” only in 1967 and 1968, more than one million children were born in Romania, as follows: in 1967 about 526,000 live children (of which 212,556 female), almost double compared to 1966 when about 274,500 children were born (of which over 111,000).

According to the NIS, in 1968 512,500 children were born (of which 212,199 girls), and in 1969 over 460,000 children (of which almost 186,000 girls).

Specifically, in 1967 and 1968, almost 425,000 female children were born, who can retire anticipated in the years 2025 and 2026, if they meet certain conditions, even without penalty if they have a contribution period of 40 years.

We recall that women's retirement age is 63 years, with the possibility of anticipated retirement 5 years earlier, that is 58 years old. The retirement age of women increases step by one month every 2 calendar months starting with 2030, so that women's retirement age is 65 years in 2035.

For example, a woman who was born in June 1967 can retire to the age limit in August 2030, when she will be 63 years and 2 months, or anticipated from August 2025.

Anticipated retirement only if you are over 35 years old

The new pension law, which entered into force on September 1, provides for more advantageous conditions for retirement, both in the case of age limit and for the early pension, even if the retirement age of women increases from 63 years to 65 years between 2030 – 2035.

Thus, in the old law the anticipated pension could be made without penalty only if the beneficiary had a minimum internship of at least 43 years, while the partially anticipated pension could only be obtained by what with an age in work between 35 and 43, with a penalty of up to 30%.

In the new pension law, it can be anticipated without penalty with at least 40 years (compared to 43 years in the old law) and with a penalty of maximum 24% for those who are between 35 and 40 years old.

The 40 -year -old internship requested for the anticipated pension without penalty is made up of the full contribution period (from annex no. 5) + 5 years contribution period (period that includes assimilated/non -communicative periods).

Which penalties are currently applying to early retirement

The amount of the anticipated pension is established by diminishing the amount of the old -age pension, in relation to the contribution period made over the complete contributory contribution stipulated in annex no. 5 and with the number of months with which the standard retirement age was reduced, according to the next table.

The women who have achieved the complete contribution period and who have given birth and raised children up to the age of 16 benefit from the reduction of the retirement age, with 6 months for each child, with a maximum reduction of 3 years and 6 months.

The reduction of the retirement age also applies if the number of children also includes children adopted and raised over a period of at least 13 years.
