Supreme Court allows pension claim by former employee receiving pre-retirement benefit under social insurance law.

The Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a lower court ruling that granted the applicant an old-age pension. The applicant, a former employee who received a pre-retirement benefit after her employment ended, argued she met the insurance requirements for a pension. The court held that receiving a pre-retirement benefit does not strip an individual of their status as an insured employee for pension eligibility purposes.
