From the beginning of 2005, pension also accrues from all gainful employment while drawing an old-age, disability or unemployment pension.

In this instance, pension accrues at a rate of 1.6% on earnings for each year if the awarded pension is determined in line with MEL special accrual rates and at an annual rate of 1.5% if the pension awarded is determined in line with MEL general accrual rates.

Pension that accrues from gainful employment while drawing an old-age pension is awarded from when the person reaches 68 years of age, and pension accruing from work performed while drawing disability or unemployment pension from the age of 63.
