Status: Parliament is still discussing this proposal, for example in a committee or while waiting for advice. (parliament: ‘Pending in the Chamber’)
In plain language
- The pension service will be required to automatically review entitlement to the income guarantee for the elderly (GRAPA/IGO), or an increase of it, at least every five years.
- This affects individuals who have reached the legal retirement age and currently receive no income guarantee or only a partial benefit.
- You will no longer necessarily have to apply yourself if your financial situation deteriorates; the administration will regularly check your situation automatically.
