Supreme Court allows pension recalculation if not requested at suspension but after payment start.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding whether a pension recipient can request a recalculation of their pension after the payment has begun. The insured, Jan R., had his pension suspended while he continued working, and later requested to start receiving it without initially asking for a recalculation based on new earnings. The court ruled that the insured retains the right to request a recalculation even after the payment has started, provided they did not explicitly waive this right when suspending the pension. This decision clarifies that the statutory right to recalculate arises upon meeting the conditions, regardless of the timing of the formal request relative to the start of payments.
