Supreme Court rules pension calculation for early retirees switching to age pension uses old base rate.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court resolved a legal question regarding the calculation of a pension for an insured person who previously received an early retirement pension and later acquired rights to an age-based pension. The court rejected the argument that the new pension should be calculated using the base rate current at the time of the new application. Instead, the court determined that the pension must be calculated using the base rate applicable at the moment the earlier pension was established. This decision ensures that the specific provisions of the Social Insurance Law regarding base rates for early retirees are not rendered meaningless.
