Pension eligibility requires last social insurance title to be employment, regardless of duration before application.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court partially allowed the pension applicant's appeal, overturning the lower court's decision that denied her pension due to a gap in employment status. The applicant argued that her contract work during a pre-retirement allowance period should not disqualify her, while the Social Insurance Institution contended that only continuous employment counts. The court ruled that the statutory condition is met if the last title of social insurance coverage was employment, irrespective of how long that employment lasted before the pension application was filed.
