Pension deferral increment


The pension deferral increment is paid in the following cases:

  • To those ineligible for a pension due to high work income.
  • To those ineligible for a pension due to high work and non-work income.
  • To those eligible for a partial pension due to income and renounced to receive the pension.

Increment rate

The pension deferral increment is 5% of the pension (including the seniority increment) for each year the payment of the pension was deferred due to income from work, between retirement age and the age of entitlement to old-age pension.

Important information!

  • Assessment of eligibility based on income test is made between retirement age and the age of entitlement to old age pension.
  • Income test is performed upon the annual verification.
  • Whether you had filed a claim after reaching retirement age and it appeared that you were not entitled to the pension due to income from work, the years during which you were not eligible for the pension due to income from work will be taken into account regarding your entitlement to a pension deferral increment.
  • If the income exceeds the allowed amount of earnings and, as a result, you are not entitled to a pension, you cannot submit a claim.
    Your right to pension deferral increment is reserved for you at the time of submission of the claim.
