Reform: CSU zu Frühverrentung – Härtefälle ja, Regelfälle nein
Union und SPD beraten einem Bericht zufolge, die abschlagsfreie Rente künftig erst nach bis zu 47 Beitragsjahren zu ermöglichen. Die CSU will sie zudem auf Härtefälle begrenzen.
CSU's Alexander Hoffmann insists that early retirement should only be allowed in hardship cases, not the norm, in discussions about full retirement after 45 years of insurance. He stated, "We have a clear agreement in the coalition: Hard cases yes, normal cases no. Without a change in the rule-exemption ratio for pension without deductions after 45 contribution years, there can be no pension reform", according to "Bild".
"Bild" reports that the coalition is also discussing raising the number of contribution years by up to two years, allowing workers to retire without deductions around 46 or 47 years after contributions. The SPD's Alexander Schweitzer opposes the idea of transitional periods to abolish the early retirement after 45 contribution years, stating during a conversation with RND, "Transitional periods are not enough.
Those who work long must have more than those who did not work as long. These are not welfare handouts or alms, it's performance justice. And it's part of the generation contract that should be upheld", emphasizing the importance of equitable treatment based on work duration.
