Supreme Court dismisses early pension claim due to lack of 30-year work record and failure to check disability status.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court set aside a lower court's decision granting early retirement to Maria P. because the court erroneously counted a non-contributory care period twice to meet the 30-year work requirement. The applicant had also failed to prove she met the alternative condition of having a 20-year work record combined with a disability status. Consequently, the case was remanded for a fresh examination of her disability eligibility under the relevant pension law.
