Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland dismissed Genowefa S.'s appeal for early retirement, overturning the lower court's recognition of her employment period. The Social Security Agency initially denied the claim due to insufficient contribution years, but the first-instance court ruled that her work from 1961 to 1963 constituted valid contribution periods. The Supreme Court determined that employment of a minor under 15 years old after July 21, 1961, was illegal under the Vocational Training Act, rendering those months non-contributory.
