Supreme Court denied early pension to farmer due to non-employment status at retirement date.

The Supreme Court dismissed Halina P.'s cassation appeal against the Social Insurance Institution's refusal of an early pension. The applicant, who had switched to agricultural insurance before filing her claim, argued that the law did not require her to be an employee at the time of application. The court ruled that Article 29 of the Social Insurance Act strictly limits early pension rights to those who are employees on the date they become eligible, thereby rejecting her claim. Consequently, the lower court's decision granting the pension was overturned, and the applicant's appeal was rejected.
