AI generatedThe Supreme Social Security Court dismissed Anna G.'s cassation appeal regarding her initial pension capital calculation. The Social Security Institution excluded specific employment periods due to unpaid contributions and lack of formal employment records, while the lower court had recognized her work as a catechist. The court ruled that unpaid contributions alone do not establish a contributory period; the employee must prove actual employment and remuneration, which was not established in this case.
