Clarifications of the procedures for people who retire this 2022
Next January will have passed the first year of the implementation of the Ordering Task, which brings with it the increase in salaries and pensions. Workers, already at retirement age or close to it, wait for that moment to receive a higher compensation for the time worked.
In this context, Virginia Marlén García Reyes, general director of the National Institute of Social Security (Inass), and Benito Rey González, director of Pension Procedures, of the same organization, clarify possible situations that some workers could present.
THE RETIREMENT AGE AND THE CALCULATION OF PENSIONS
For the Director General of Inass, with the implementation of the Ordering Task, people thought that, starting in 2022, the retirement age and length of service would be modified. "This is not going to happen," he said.
He indicated that the calculation of the pension that is made from next year will be favored by the 12 months of salary earned by workers in active service, which includes from January to December 2021, taking into account that they are the best salaries from the reform.
Regarding the case of a worker who requests the pension in January 2022 and the average of the five highest salaries earned within the last 15 years is more beneficial, the Director of Pension Procedures of the Inass specified that there is no other alternative than to process them. by a fifth special provision, which is the power of the Minister of the mtss, while in the proposal of the foundation it is necessary to explain the information well, that these people find the salary they had until December 2020 more beneficial.
ABOUT THE MINIMUM PENSION
Regarding the minimum pension, Rey González said that it is maintained for the general regime (salaried in the state sector) of 1,528 pesos, that means that the pension that does not reach that amount is raised to this amount, but it is only for the regime general, because contributory regimes do not have an approved minimum pension.
«A person who disassociates fulfilling the requirements for age and length of service, being active before the salary reform, and submits the application in 2022-2025, is considered to have acquired his right to retirement before the Ordering Task, therefore, the calculation that will correspond to it is before the Ranking Task (of the last 15, the best five), but it must also be processed through the fifth special provision.
HOW IS THE WORKER WHO DOES NOT HAVE THE FULL 12 MONTHS OF SALARY IN 2021?
Rey González explained that there could be two assumptions: the worker who was dismissed years ago and was hired in March-April 2021 to acquire at least the right to that requirement of being active at the time of reaching the age. That person cannot receive the same treatment as that person who does not have 12 months of salary because they could have been on leave without pay and, despite being on active duty, did not earn a salary and do not have an amount. This case cannot be given the same treatment, because it is a cause that is not attributable to the person.
«There is also the one who at a certain moment could have been available, looked for a job link in January, it was not possible, he joined in February-March, but has been working his whole life and was unlinked for a few months. "They are exceptional cases and, to process them through a fifth special provision, they must be taken into account so that, when making the calculation and making the justification, make the corresponding proposal," he added.
ABOUT INTERRUPTS
Virginia Marlén García Reyes, general director of Inass, on this subject stated that there are people in active service who are now interrupted, but who have the requirements to retire. “In those cases you can go the normal way. We are talking about the cases that are interrupted, that are not earning a salary and, therefore, will be affected if they are close to retirement, because the process must be analyzed by way of exceptionality, "he said.
WHAT ABOUT THE PEOPLE WHO WERE EARNING 60% OF SALARY?
García Reyes said that, from the point of view of social security, if the administration worked properly, what is recorded on the snc card is what would have corresponded to him, not what he was paid. «In the salary guarantee, 60% is being collected from the second month, but what goes to the salary card is what would have corresponded to him as a salary if he had been active, not the 60% earned, because for the purposes of social security, the full salary is written down so as not to have a future affectation », he assured.
ABOUT AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTION COOPERATIVES
For the Director of Pension Procedures of the Inass, these cooperatives are governed by Decree-Law 297 of 2012. "They are not part of the general social security regime or the contributory regimes, therefore, as of January 2022, as the pension scale is without effect, these cases will continue to obtain a pension in accordance with the provisions of this Decree-Law, which has its specific rule: of the last 15 years, the best five. Taking into account that they earn advances and profits and have higher incomes, their pension is going to be a little higher," he stressed.
INASS SUBSIDIARIES AND RETIREMENT PROCEDURES
The General Director of Inass pointed out that of the municipal branches, only in Havana and Granma are the records of age and disability captured. “The rest of the provinces are captured in the provincial branch. Therefore, not all workers who submit their retirement application in the month of January will be registered in February. We will try to receive everything that is presented, but there is a group of factors that can negatively affect the agility of the process, "he concluded.
