Pension at age 66
Ten years ago, the Michel government decided to gradually raise the pension age. Next year, in 2025, the first jump will take place: from 65 to 66 years old. Legal pension age is one of the conditions to be met to be able to earn unlimited professional income. So be careful and check the rules you must follow on www.travaillerpendantmapension.be.

Stricter access
Access to the pension will now be stricter. Thirty years of career are still required but, during this period, 20 years of effective work at 4/5 time, or rather 5,000 days, must have been worked. Full-time, that’s around 16 years. The part-time situation, which primarily concerns women, is taken into account since the requirement will be relaxed and the number of days will be reduced to 3,120 days.
The actual working condition will be reduced for workers who have experienced a period of disability according to a mathematical formula. In the case of a person who suffered a period of disability of 20 years, it would be reduced to 11 years or 3,500 days. Days of maternity, breastfeeding or palliative care leave as well as periods during which a person is recognized as having a disability will count as effective working days.

Bonus pension
Vivaldi reintroduced the pension bonus, abolished under the previous legislature, in order to encourage workers to work beyond the early retirement age. This will amount to an amount between 2 and 3 euros per day worked, with a maximum of 3 years. The first candidates for the pension bonus should be known in July 2025.
