This is how you can get up to 2,819 euro per month in pension

The minimum and maximum pension amounts have been significantly increased since the last revaluation of the pensions, which was agreed by the Government. However, not all pensioners will be eligible for the full benefit.

Social Security explained that to receive the maximum pension of 2,819 euro per month, you must meet certain requirements. The benefit will not be awarded if you do not meet these requirements.

Benefits have seen a 2.5% increase, which includes the maximum limit for public pensions. Similar results have been seen for minimum pensions, noncontributory pensions, and aid for dependent children aged 18 and over with disabilities equal or greater to 65%. They will all increase by 3% in 2022.

Additionally, the aid decree to address the impact of war in Ukraine will provide for a 15% increase in non-contributory pensions at least through December 31st.

The maximum pension was revalued to 39,468.52 euro per year. This translates into 2,819.18 euro per month. To be eligible for this benefit, you must have contributed at least fifteen. Two of these must be made immediately before you retire. This will allow you to access half of the pension.

There are two ways to receive 100% of the benefit. To retire at the minimum age 66 years and 2 month, you must have contributed less than 37 and 6 months. The second is to have an equal or higher amount of savings and to then be eligible to retire at 65.

Also, the worker must have contributed to the maximum contribution base in the past 25 years. Contribution base is an important element in the future of the pension. It has an impact on the benefits.
