Rentenreform: Schonfrist für bestimmte Jahrgänge? Mögliche Ausnahmen für Beschäftigte in Altersteilzeit
Die geplante Rentenreform könnte Beschäftigten kurz vor der Rente einem Medienbericht zufolge wichtige Ausnahmen bieten. Das Arbeitsministerium äußert sich zurückhaltend.
Berlin - According to a media report, the German Federal Ministry of Labor plans to raise the retirement age threshold only starting from the birth year 1968 with the pension reform, later than what the Pension Commission had proposed. "Die Zeit" reports on a draft law from August 21st, suggesting that for the birth years 1965 to 1967, the retirement age threshold would remain at 67 years.
However, the ministry clarified that it was dealing with an outdated draft, with which they had not been involved. The current version is still being worked on. Experts had previously anticipated a legal draft from Ministerin Bärbel Bas (SPD) for October, implementing the recommendations of the Pension Commission. The plan also includes a kind of grace period for individuals who have already signed a contract on early retirement or intend to do so soon.
For those born between 1968 and 1971 and who have negotiated early retirement before the cabinet decision on pension reform becomes binding, they should receive two benefits: the retirement age would remain at 67 years, and they could still claim full pension after 45 years of insurance.
