Swiss Women in Transitional Generation Can Now Draw Pension at 62
New rules for early drawing pension have been announced in Switzerland. Women in the transitional generation (born 1961-1969) can now draw their pension at 62, while others must wait until 63. The Beobachter subscription offers detailed retirement income information and AHV decision defence.
The AHV old-age pension height, contribution gaps, splitting, couple's pension, and negative decisions are key retirement planning topics. As of January 1, 2024, the general retirement age is 65. Women in the transitional generation receive a pension supplement that lapses with early drawing.
Early drawing results in a financial loss, but lower reduction rates apply to those born between 1961 and 1969. Regulations regarding AHV pension limitation and separation for women of this generation involve divorce pension division and widow's pensions. However, reforms may alter these rules, such as the elimination of lifelong widow's pensions for new pensioners. The pension can be drawn one year early without reduction if the average income is up to 60,480 francs.
Women in Switzerland can now draw their pension earlier, with specific rules for the transitional generation. The Beobachter subscription provides crucial information for navigating these changes and defending against AHV decisions. Early drawing may result in financial loss, but lower reduction rates apply to some women.
