Social security court dismisses farmer's appeal, ruling military service cannot count toward pension without prior insurance coverage.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal filed by a farmer against the Social Insurance Fund's refusal of a rural pension. The court found that the applicant worked on his parents' farm before age 16 and later acquired his own farm through adverse possession, but never paid social insurance contributions after leaving for the USA in 1957. Consequently, the court held that military service could not be credited toward the required 100 quarters of insurance because the applicant lacked any prior insurance record to establish eligibility.
