Legislator summary

AI generated

The Insurance Court dismissed the claimant's request for a pension under the Seafarer's Pension Act, ruling that the free certificate pension was correctly awarded. The court found the claimant's last employment as a seafarer occurred in 1965, exceeding the three-year interval required to trigger a new pension entitlement. Consequently, the court applied the version of the Seafarer's Pension Act valid as of June 9, 1961, and denied the additional benefit sought.

Henkilö oli viimeksi vuonna 1965 ollut merimiestoimessa. Hänen haettua tammikuussa 1981 työkyvyttömyyseläkettä merimieseläkekassa myönsi hänelle vapaakirjaeläkkeen. VAKO: Vapaakirjaa vastaava eläke oli oikein määrätty, koska henkilö oli ollut merimiestoimessa viimeksi vuonna 1965 eikä hän ollut palannut merimiestoimeen kolmen vuoden kuluessa. Hänelle oli näin ollen annettava ainoastaan hänen suorittamiaan maksuja vastaava vapaakirja ja sovellettava merimieseläkelain 17 §:ää sellaisena kuin se oli 9.6.1961 annetussa laissa. Laki muuttunut.
