Chisinau, 28 April /MOLDPRES/-The parliament today adopted a draft law providing for a single amount of 200 lei as basic pension to be added to the pension for the age limit.

The document provides for a basic pension to be added to the pension for the age limit, except for those who retire under privileged conditions- prosecutors, judges and MPs.

“Methods used to establish and calculate pensions will be improved by combining the current contributory calculation mechanism based on insured income with a new element based on the universality criterion, characteristic of the financial state aid,” the draft law reads.

These amendments will enhance the social security degree for retired people, improving their social equity and inclusion.

Almost 500 thousand pensioners will benefit from basic pensions. “The basic pension will substitute the financial support of 100 and 180 lei (depending on the category) some of the current beneficiaries (400 thousand pensioners) receive. Other 130 thousand pensioners will receive these 200 lei as an addition to their current pension,” the draft law states.

The draft law will enter into force on 1 August 2016.
