Supreme Court allows pension for female artist born before 1949 with 30 years of creative activity.

The Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding pension eligibility for a female artist born before January 1, 1949, who had 30 years of creative activity. The Social Insurance Institution initially denied the pension, arguing that Article 29 of the Social Insurance Pensions Act did not apply to non-employee creators, while the lower court granted it based on equal treatment principles. The Court ruled that Article 33 of the Act establishes a general rule equating such creators with employees, thereby allowing the claimant to receive the pension upon reaching age 55.
