The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection has drafted a decision on increasing the minimum retirement pension. According to this draft, from April 1 this year, the minimum pension will amount to 2,777.86 lei, which is higher than the previous amount of 2,620.62 lei in 2023.
The draft also envisages an increase in the minimum pension for disabled people. According to it, the amounts of payments will be as follows:
– for severe disability – 2083.4 lei (compared to 1965.47 lei in 2023);
– for pronounced disability – 1944,5 lei (compared to 1834,43 lei in 2023);
– for moderate disability – 1388.93 lei (compared to 1310.31 lei in 2023).
Earlier, the government announced a 6% indexation of pensions starting April 1.
According to the authorities’ statement, if the pension calculated in accordance with the law is lower than the minimum pension for this category, the difference will be compensated from the state budget in the form of a solidarity supplement. This supplement is a non-indexed part of the pension.
