The assessment of the pension reform ended on Friday after a week. Among other things, higher access stores to the pension of the corridor are planned. There is criticism of the short deadline – according to the Constitutional Service, reviews usually have to take six weeks. There is also concern about the affected that have already planned with the old rules.
Planned changes of January 1, 2026:
- The starting age for the gang pension is gradually increasing from 62 to 63 years.
- Required insurance years increase from 40 to 42.
- In the first pension adjustment, regardless of the inaugural month, only 50 percent should be.
Saving: From 2029 the changes to save one billion euros annually.
Critics:
- Interference in the protection of legitimate expectations (Constitutional Service, Göd, AK, Burgenland).
- Concern for people who have already planned with existing rules.
- Risk of unemployment without associated measures, but “all population groups should contribute to the necessary energy -saving potential,” said the Labor Chamber.
- Criticism of April 1, 2025 – Not understandable (Ögb, Constitutional Service).
- An exception for partial pension of the company is missing (ÖGB).
The affected people can then be forced to report to the AMS for a few months and claim a money benefit – “at the expense of the budget”.
For those partial pension agreements that were in force before 1 April, there should be no increase in the injection era for the gang pension.
