Insurance period for pension in 2026

12.12.2025 22:05 • Question

I read that to retire in 2026, one needs to have a certain amount of insurance period – 33 years for 60 years old, 23 years for 63 years old, and 15 years for 65 years old. However, if a person reached the appropriate age in 2025 but applies for a pension in 2026, the insurance period requirements are different. Please tell me, which insurance period will be taken into account in such a situation – the one that was in effect at the time of reaching the age, or the one that is in effect at the time of applying for a pension?
