AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a 1990 amendment to social security law removed the requirement for early retirement within five years of leaving employment for workers in hazardous conditions. The Social Insurance Institution denied Maria L.'s claim because she had not reached the statutory age within five years of stopping work, despite having a long tenure in dangerous conditions. The Court held that the legislative change abolished this specific time limit, meaning the regulatory requirement to reach age within five years no longer applies to these workers.
