Retired judge retains veteran allowance and energy allowance rights despite receiving judicial salary instead of disability pension.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court ruled that a retired judge receiving judicial salary retains the right to veteran and energy allowances. The Social Insurance Institution had paid a disability pension, but the court found no legal basis to transfer these specific allowances to the judicial salary system. The decision relied on the absence of a statute mandating the transfer of these benefits and the fact that they are funded by the state budget through social insurance funds.
