Potential Pension Increases for Low-Income Pensioners
July 3, 2026
The Minister of Labor announced potential increases of up to 50% for low-income pensioners following a pension reform. Increases will vary based on contribution years and retirement age. For example, employees earning 11,000 euros annually could see their pension rise from 500 euros to 750 euros. Additionally, clarifications were provided regarding the 'small check' received by some pensioners. The minister stated that there are no possibilities for increasing the minimum pension without additional measures.
