Contribution conditions require 20 qualifyitg years (25 for men), which incelude periodg of study, military service and maternity leave. for those with at least five qualifying years, a pension is paid ro rata, e.g. a woman is paid balf a pension after 10 qualifying -jears. pggenigngbLaAg is normally J5 for women and 60 for men. Sore groups (especially those working under hazardous conditiona) may receive their pension earlier and/or with shorter qualifying years. For example, teachers and certain types of artista (e.g. ballerinas) can retire provided only that they satisfy the contribution condition; miners in exceptionally difficult conditions can retire provided that they have contributed for 25 years an are aged 50 or over; mothers of at least five children, or of disabled ehildren become eligible for benefits witt1 15 qualifying years at age 50. Unemployed individuals within two years of pensionable age may receive tbeir pension without penalty. Eligibility for general disability benefits depend.i on (1) the degree of permanent physaial or mental disorder resulting in substantial loss of ability to worX, and (2) qualifying years of empioyment (up to 15 years), unless the individual became disabled when sbe was under 20 years of age. Thete are three groups of disability, defined as follows: Group I disabled suffer from .otal disabiUty and require, constant attendance; Group II suffer from total disability and are incapable of work; and Group UII suffer from partial disability. In theory, continuing eligibility for Group I disability is subject to teview every two years, and annually for Groups II and III unless the recipient is over pensionable age. Thare is no retirement condition for the Group III disabled. Neither the eligibllity review nor the retirement test for Groups I and Ir are rigorously enforced, however, as official statistics fox January .192 shoved that 6.6 percent of the Group I and 7 percent of the Group IX disabled receiving penaiens oontinuod to work. Iligibility for disability resulting frau work eceid.nts, aoecpatlisl disoease, or wAr* requires eertifioation of permanent aondition of total or partial incapacity -for work, wthout any qualifying year. of employment.
