Pension insurance

The Czech statutory pension insurance allows persons participating in the scheme, or their survivors, to receive a pension in the event of old age, disability or death of the breadwinner. (This is the so-called 1st pillar.) This is general compulsory insurance administered by the CSSA, or more specifically by the DSSA.

The general regulation providing for pension rights, the method of determination of the pension amounts and conditions for their payment is Act No. 155/1995 Coll. on pension insurance, which entered into force on 1 January 1996.
