Retirement age for women changes, length of service for men increases

As the pension scheme is expected to be revised, starting in 2026, the retirement age for women will change, as well as the years of seniority for both genders, according to changes that came into effect in January 2015. The reform undertaken 11 years ago envisaged a gradual increase in age and seniority, which is directly related to the pension amount.
Thus, this year a woman must be 62 years old to meet the retirement criteria. With the amendments made to the law "On Social Security", an increase in the retirement age is foreseen by two months per year, reaching 63 years old in 2032. Then the age increase will also begin for men, reaching 67 years old in 2056 for both sexes.
But while men are not immediately affected by the increase in the retirement age, they are affected by the increase in years of seniority in the workforce. This means that if a man in December 2014 had to have 35 years of seniority, from January 1, 2026 he should have 39 years. The same logic applies to women, who, in parallel with age, also have their years of seniority in the workforce increase.
Referring to the legislation in force, the gradual increase in seniority directly affects the amount of the old-age pension, as it is one of the components of the formula for its calculation. According to the formula, the pension consists of a basic amount, equal to the social pension, which is multiplied by the years of insurance that each person has and divided by the years of seniority at work.
Retirement age in 2026: Men 65 years old.
Seniority in work: Year 2025, 38 years and 8 months. Year 2026, 39 years.
