Rules To qualify for a State Pension (Contributory) you must be aged 66 or over and have enough Class A, E, F,G, H, N or S social insurance contributions. You need to: - Have paid social insurance contributions before a certain age - Have a certain number of social insurance contributions paid and - Have a certain average number over the years since you first started to pay Paid insurance before a certain age You must have started to pay social insurance before the age of 56. (The age limit is higher for people born before 1922.) Entry into insurance Your entry into insurance means the date on which you first started to pay social insurance. The rules that determine when you entered into insurance are quite complex for those with mixed insurance, that is, full social insurance for some of the time and modified at other times. Normally the date of starting insurable employment is taken as the date of the first paid employment contribution. However if you have a mixture of full- and modified-rate contributions and paid your first full-rate employment contribution before 6 April 1991 and before you reached 56 years of age, your entry into insurance can be the date on which you first started to pay the full-rate of insurance if that would be to your advantage. If you started to pay full insurance after 6 April 1991, your entry into insurance is the time you first paid any social insurance. There are also special entry into insurance rules for self-employed people. If you started to pay self-employed contributions on 6 April 1988 and had previously paid employee insurance at any time, then the date of entry into insurance can be either 6 April 1988 or the date on which you actually first paid insurance, whichever is to your advantage. Number of paid contributions If you reach pension age on or after April 6 2012, you need to have 520 full-rate contributions (10 years contributions). In this case, only 260 of the 520 contributions may be voluntary contributions. However, if you were a voluntary contributor on or before April 6 1997 and you have a yearly average of 20 contributions, you may meet the requirement if you have a total of 520 full-rate contributions (of which only 156 need to be compulsory paid contributions). If you reached pension age on or after 6 April 2002, you needed to have 260 full-rate contributions (effectively 5 years contributions but they need not be consecutive). If you reached pension age before 6 April 2002, you needed 156 qualifying full-rate contributions (a total of 3 years but they did not have to be consecutive). Note that social insurance contributions fall into the four groups below. - Full-rate social insurance contributions are PRSI contributions at Classes A, E, F, G, H, N and S or at the 'ordinary' rate before 6 April 1979. - Modified-rate social insurance contributions are PRSI contributions at Classes B, C and D (paid by civil and public servants). - Voluntary contributions are made by people under age 66 who are no longer covered by compulsory PRSI provided they satisfy certain conditions. - Credited contributions ('credits') are similar to the social insurance contributions you pay while employed and are usually awarded at the same rate as your last paid social insurance contribution. You may get credits when you are claiming a social welfare payment. Credits are not allowed after self-employed contributions (Class S). Average number of contributions per year You must meet the average condition. This is probably the most complex aspect of qualifying for a State Pension (Contributory). Normal average rule The normal average rule states that you must have a yearly average of at least 10 appropriate contributions paid or credited from the year you first entered insurance or from 1953, whichever is later to the end of the tax year before you reach pension age (66). An average of 10 entitles you to a minimum pension; you need an average of 48 to get the maximum pension. Alternative average rule This alternative average only applies to people who reach pension age on or after 6 April 1992. It requires that you have an average of 48 Class A, E, F, G, H, N or S contributions (paid or credited) for each contribution year from the 1979/80 tax year to the end of the tax year before you reach pension age (66). This average would entitle you to the maximum pension. There is no provision for a reduced pension when this alternative average is used. So, if you reach the age of 66 on or after April 6 1992, your average will be looked at in two ways - the usual average will be assessed and the alternative average will be assessed. Most employed or formerly employed people will be able to meet the alternative average. The alternative average will probably be looked at first because it is easier to assess. If you do not have an average of 48 contributions from 1979 then the normal method of assessing the average will be looked at and you may get a reduced pension (if you do not meet the alternative average, it is virtually impossible for you to have an average of 48 using the normal average rule). Working in the home and State pensions In 1994, regulations were made that should make it easier for people who take some time off work to care for family members to qualify for pensions. The Homemakers' Scheme is for people who have been carers since or after 1994. It does not affect people who were carers before April 1994 and it is not of much use to those who give up work permanently. It is of greatest importance for those who work outside the home for a number of years, then spend a number of years as carers and then return to the workforce. It applies equally to women and men. From 5 April 1994, any contribution year spent as a homemaker may be disregarded in the calculation of the yearly average up to a maximum of 20 years. So, the fact that you do not have any contributions in those years will not affect your entitlement to a pension. Pro-rata pensions There are a number of pro-rata pensions, which were introduced because of the exclusion of some people from the social insurance system at particular times. Pro-rata pension for mixed insurance Pro-rata pensions were introduced for people with mixed insurance records. Mixed insurance arises when a person spends part of his/her working life in the public service paying modified social insurance contributions and part in the private sector paying full rate social insurance contributions. Many people have had a career in both the public and private sector but do not have mixed insurance. This is because no insurance was payable by people whose incomes were above certain limits before 1 April 1974. Certain groups who are now insured were outside the scope of the system - Gardai are insurable since 1 April 1974; certain members of religious orders since 6 April 1988 and doctors and dentists in the civil service since 6 April 1988. People with mixed insurance may have enough full rate contributions to enable them to qualify for a State Pension (Contributory). This depends on the exact circumstances of each case. It could happen that one person would qualify while another, who might have more contributions, would not qualify. Since 1991, a State Pension (Contributory) may be payable on a pro-rata basis to people with mixed insurance. If you reach pension age on or after 6 April 2012, you need to have a total of at least 520 full rate and modified rate contributions paid. You must also have: - At least 260 paid contributions at the full rate since entry into insurance or 1953, whichever is later - A mixture of full and modified contributions, which when added together give you a yearly average of 10 (for the State Pension Contributory) from the time you first entered insurance or 1953, whichever is later, to the end of the contribution year before your 66th birthday. - Failed to qualify for a pension under EU regulations or under reciprocal arrangements with other countries or only qualified for a pension at a lower rate than this pro-rata pension would give you. If you meet all these requirements, you may qualify for a pension proportionate to the number of contributions that you have at the full rate. To take a very simple example, if you worked for 40 years up to age 66 and 10 of those were in the private sector, you would get one-quarter of the normal pension. The amount paid is in proportion to your full-rate contributions as a percentage of your overall contributions. To calculate your pension you add contributions at the full and modified rates together. The average is then measured in the normal way. If you have an average of at least 10 then you may qualify. Then the number of full rate contributions is divided by the total number of contributions to find out what proportion are full rate; you then get that proportion of the pension. The Increase for a Qualified Adult payable with this pension is proportioned as well. Pro-rata pension for intermittent insurance This pension applied to people with intermittent insurance and who had a yearly average of under 10. It no longer applies to new applicants (from January 2013). This pro-rata pension was only payable to people who meet specific conditions. That is, they had to have a broken insurance record and have re-entered insurance in 1974 because of the removal of the income limit. Their average is measured in the usual way and if that average is 10 or more they got a pension in the normal way. However, if it was between 5 and 9 they got a special partial pension which was one quarter of the maximum pension. See Further information below for more information on other pro-rata pensions that no longer apply to many people (because most people who would qualify are now over 66). Pro-rata EU pensions If you have worked in Ireland and one or more EU states your social insurance contributions from each EU state will be added to your Irish social insurance contributions to help you qualify for a social welfare payment. More information about combining your social insurance contributions to qualify for a state pension is available. Increases for a qualified adult and pensioners over 80 years of age are calculated in the same way as the personal rate of pension. Increases for a qualified child are payable from one country only and, if from Ireland, are paid in full. Bilateral social security agreements Ireland has bilateral social security agreements with Canada, the USA, Australia, New Zealand, Austria, Japan, Republic of Korea and Quebec (which has a separate system from the rest of Canada). These agreements are broadly similar and they generally provide that social insurance paid in Ireland and the other country can be combined to help people qualify for old age and retirement pensions. Again, in general, the method of calculation is similar to the EU rules. Rates *Increases for qualified adults are means-tested payments (see Adult dependants below). From 1 September 2012, the rate band 20-47 was replaced by the bands 20-29, You can read FAQs about these changes on welfare.ie. State Pension (Contributory) rates for people who qualified for pensions before 1 September 2012 *Qualified adult rates apply to claims made from 6 April Extra benefits You are automatically paid an extra allowance of €10 per week when you reach 80 years of age. This increase is not paid to qualified adults. The Living Alone Increase may be payable to people who live completely alone. You may also be eligible for other benefits. Find out more about medical cards, the Household Benefits Package and Fuel Allowance. Adult dependant You can get an increase in your payment for an adult dependant (called a qualified adult). Your income is not taken into account in the assessment for a Increase for a Qualified Adult. Any income your adult dependant has from employment, self-employment, savings, investments and capital (for example, any property except your own home) is taken into account. If you have joint savings or investments with your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant only half is taken into account. If you are getting a State Pension (Contributory) the Increase for a Qualified Adult is automatically paid directly to your adult dependant. This only applies to applications for State pensions received by the Department on or after 27 September 2007. Child dependants You can also get an increase in your payment for child dependants (known as qualified children). Since 6 July 2012 you can no longer claim an Increase for a Qualified Child (IQC) with your State Pension (Contributory) if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant has an income of over €400 a week. You get a half-rate IQC if your spouse, civil partner or cohabitant earns between €310 and €400 a week. This only applies to claims made after 6 July 2012.

Eolas Tá Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse) iníoctha le daoine atá 65 bliana d’aois agus ar scor agus a bhfuil a ndóthain ranníocaíochtaí árachais sóisialta acu. Ní dhéantar tástáil mhaoine air. Aistreofar tú ag aois 66 bliana d'aois go dtí an Pinsean Stáit (Ranníocach). Ní féidir leat a bheith fostaithe nó féinfhostaithe agus Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse) á fháil agat. Nuair a aistreofar tú go Pinsean Stáit (Ranníocach) ag aois 66 bliana d'aois féadfaidh tú ioncam a thuilleamh ó fhoinse ar bith. Ba chóir duit cur isteach ar Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse) 3 mhí sula mbíonn tú 65 bliana d’aois. Tá an pinsean seo inchánach ach má tá tú gan aon ioncam eile, ní miste cáin a ghearradh air. D’athraigh an t Acht um Athchóiriú an Dlí Leasa Shóisialaigh agus um Pinsin 2006 (pdf) ainm an Phinsean Scoir go Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse). Tháinig an t-ainm nua i bhfeidhm i Meán Fómhair, 2006. Athruithe ar an bPinsean Stáit (Eatramhach) Faoin Acht Leasa Shóisialaigh agus Pinsean 2011 ní íocfar an Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse) a thuilleadh ó 1 Eanáir 2014. Ciallaíonn sé go mbeidh aois an Phinsin Stáit caighdeánach 66 bliain do gach duine. Má tá cáilithe le haghaidh an Phinsin Stáit (Idirthréimhse) roimh 1 Eanáir 2014, leanfaidh tú i dteideal é ar feadh tréimhse d'éilimh (bliain amháin). Rialacha Ní mór duit: - A bheith 65 bliana d'aois - A bheith faoi bhun 66 bliana d'aois - A bheith scortha - Do dhóthain ranníocaíochtaí árachais shóisialaigh a bheith íoctha agat. Scortha Ciallaíonn scortha nach féidir leat a bheith i bhfostaíocht atá faoi árachas nó a bheith féin-fhostaithe faoi árachas. Má tá tú ag saothrú airgid níl cead agat dul thar €38 sa tseachtain nó €5,000 sa bhliain má tá tú féin-fhostaithe. Má tá ioncam agat ó airgead i dtaisce nó ó infheistíochtaí b'fhéidir go mbeadh ort ÁSPC don fhéin fhostaithe a íoc ach ní ghearrfaidh sé amach tú ón Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse) muna bhfuil tú féin-fhostaithe i ndáiríre. Tagann deireadh leis na coinníollacha seo nuair a shroicheann tú aois 66 agus aistríonn tú chuig Phinsean Stáit (Ranníocach). Ranníocaíochtaí árachais shóisialaigh Ní mór duit: - Ranníocaíochtaí árachais shóisalaigh a bheith íoctha agat roimh aois áirithe - Méíd áirithe ranníocaíochtaí a bheith íoctha agat - Méid áirithe rialta, in aghaidh na bliana, a bheith á íoc agat ón uair gur thosaigh tú ar dtús Árachas íoctha roimh aois áirithe Caithfidh tú tús a chur le do ranníocaíochtaí árachais shóisialaigh roimh aois a 55. An méid ranníocaíochtaí nach mór duit a bheith íoctha agat - Má shroicheann tú aois an phinsin ar an 6ú Aibreán 2012 nó ina dhiaidh beidh 520 ranníocaíochtaí íoctha uait. Sa chás seo, ní féidir ach 260 den 520 ranníocaíochtaí a bheith mar ranníocaíochtaí deonacha. Má bhí tú, áfach, ag íoc ranníocaíochtaí deonacha roimh nó ar an 6ú Aibreán 1997 agus má tá 520 ranníocaíocht san iomlán agat agus gan ach 156 díobh siúd deonach beidh tú fós inghlactha sa scéim. - Má shroicheann tú aois an phinsin ar an 6ú Aibreán 2002 nó ina dhiaidh beidh 260 ranníocaíochtaí íoctha uait. - Má shroicheann tú aois an phinsin roimh an 6ú Aibreán 2002 ní mór duit 156 ranníocaíocht cáilithe a bheith íoctha agat (sé sin, trí bliana san iomlán ach nach gá dóibh a bheith leanúnach). Dá bhrí sin caithfidh tú na híocaíochtaí a bheith déanta ag an ráta stampa iomlán roimh 1979 nó aicme A, E, F, G, H, N ó shin i leith). I gcásanna áirithe, glactar le ranníocaíochtaí a déanadh isteach sa scéim árachais náisiúnta roimh 1953, mar a bhí ann ag an am, chun do chuid ranníocaíochtaí a thabhairt go dtí 156 ranníocaíochtaí. Tógtar chuile 2 ranníocaíocht mar 3 chinn. Ach má thógtar san áireamh iad, áfach, ní mór don mheán uimhir a bheith faighte ó 1953 i leith. Meánuimhir ranníocaíochtaí sa bhliain Tá ort an meánuimhir a shroichint. Seo é an ghné is casta den iarratas chun pinsean a fháil, agus is é is mó a thugann fadhbanna agus cúrsaí aimhrialtacht do dhaoine. Deireann an riail nach mór duit, ar an meán, 24 ranníocaíocht cuí a bheith íoctha agat nó creidiúnaithe duit, in aghaidh na bliana ón am gur thosaigh tú ag íoc árachais nó ón mbliain 1953 (ag bráth ar cé acu is deireanaí) suas go dtí an bhliain ranníoca dheiridh iomlán go dtí do 65ú breithlá. Tugann an meánuimhir de 24 ranníocaíocht an Pinsean búnasach duit agus ní mór duit 48 ranníocaíocht chun an pinsean iomlán a fháil. Ní thagann an meán riail mhalartach seo i bhfeidhm ach dóibh siúd a shroicheann aois an phinsin ar an 6ú Aibreán 1992 nó ina dhiaidh sin. Deireann an riail seo go mbíonn agat 48 ranníocaíocht (íoctha agat nó creidiúnaithe duit) mar mheánuimhir do gach bliain dá bhfuil tú ag íoc an árachais ó an bliain ranníoca 1979/80 suas go dtí an bhliain ranníoca dheiridh iomlán go dtí do 65ú breithlá. Thabharfadh an mheánuimhir seo pinsean iomlán duit. Má úsáidtear an meánuimhir eile seo níl an deis agat pinsean íslithe a fháil. Dá bhrí sin, nuair a shroicheann tú aois an phinsin, sé sin, 66 ar an 6ú Aibreán 1992 nó ina dhiaidh sin déanfar scrúdú ar do mheánuimhir i dhá bhealach - an gnáth bhealach agus an bealach eile seo. Íocaíochtaí atá déanta thar lear Má tá íocaíochtaí árachais shóisialaigh déanta agat i dtír eile den Aontas Eorpach (AE) nó i dtír lena bhfuil aontú déthaobhach ag Éirinn, is féidir leat iad seo a usáid chun do Phinsean Stáit (Eatramhach) a fháil. Tá tuilleadh eolais sa doiciméad faoi ranníocaíochtaí árachais shóisialta ón choigríoch a chomhcheangal. Pinsin pro-rata Pinsean pro rata an árachais mheasctha Tagann árachas measctha aníos nuair a chaitheann duine cuid dá s(h)aol oibre sa tseirbhís phoiblí ag íoc árachais mhodhnaithe agus cuid eile dá s(h)aol san earnáil phríobháideach ag íoc Aicme A (nó, féinfhostaithe ó mhí Aibreáin 1988, agus ag íoc Aicme S). Mura bhfuil dóthain stampaí árachais shóisialta ag an ráta iomlán agat le bheith incháilithe, ach gur íocadh stampaí árachais shóisialta modhnaithe áirithe mar státseirbhíseach nó fostaí sa tseirbhís phoiblí, féadfaidh tú a bheith incháilithe do phinsean pro rata an árachais shóisialta. Caithfear na nithe seo a leanas a bheith agat chun pinsean pro rata le hárachas measctha a fháil: - Árachas sóisialta íoctha roimh 55 bliana d’aois - Líon ceart na stampaí íoctha nuair a shroicheann tú aois scoir (féach 'Líon na stampaí íoctha' thuas) - Meascán de stampaí iomlána agus modhnaithe, a thugann meán bliantúil de 24 nuair a shuimítear le chéile iad ón am a chuirtear tús leis an árachas i dtús báire nó 1953, cibé is déanaí, go dtí deireadh na bliana stampa roimh do 65ú breithlá. - Theip ort cáiliú don phinsean faoi rialacháin an AE nó faoi shocruithe cómhalartacha le tíortha eile nó cháiligh tú do phinsean ag ráta níos ísle ná mar a thabharfadh an pinsean pro rata duit. Árachas eadrannach agus pinsin pro-rata Bhí teorainn ioncaim ann maidir le stampaí árachais shóisialta a íoc roimh 1974, agus ciallaíonn sé seo go bhféadfadh tréimhsí a bheith ann nuair a bhí tú istigh agus lasmuigh den réimse árachais. Ní féidir leat Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhseach) pro rata a fháil má bhíonn árachas sóisialta eadrannach agat, ach mar sin féin, féadfaidh tú Pinsean Stáit (Ranníocach) a fháil. D'fhoilsigh an Roinn Coimirce Sóisialaí Qualifying for the State Pension (Transition); cabhróidh sé seo leat a oibriú amach an bhfuil tú i dteideal Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse). Rataí Rátaí an Phinsin Stáit (Idirthréimhse) í 2013 *Íocaíocht faoi réir thástáil maoine is ea an Méadú i leith Duine Aosaithe Cháilithe.

Pinsean Stáit (Idirthréimhse) riomh 1 Meán Fómhair Dhuine fásta agus cleithiúnaithe linbh Ó 27 Meán Fómhair 2007 amach, má tá tú ag fáil pinsin stáit (Aistriú), íocfar an Méadú do Dhuine Fásta Cáilithe go díreach agus go huathoibritheach le do cleithiúnaí lánaoiseach. Ní bhaineann sé seo ach le hiarratais ar phinsin stáit a fuarthas sa Roinn ar 27 Meán Fómhair 2007 nó ina dhiaidh. Féadfaidh tú méadú a fháil ar d’íocaíocht le haghaidh leanaí cleithiúnacha. Ón 5 Iúil 2012‚ ní féidir leat Méadú i leith Leanbh Cáilithe (IQC) a éileamh le do Phinsean Stáit (Aistriú) má tá ioncam os cionn €400 sa tseachtain ag do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomháititheoir. Gheobhaidh tú IQC ar leathráta má thuilleann do chéile, páirtnéir sibhialta nó do chomháititheoir idir €310 agus €400 sa tseachtain. Tá seo i gceist le héilimh a dhéantar i ndiaidh an 5 Iúil 2012. Is ionann an Méadú i leith Leanbh Cáilithe agus €29.80 (ráta iomlán) agus €14.90 (leathráta). Conas iarratas a dhéanamh Tá na foirm iarratais (SPT/SPC1) (pdf) le fáil ó oifigí an phoist agus ó d'oifig leasa sóisialaigh áitiúil. Ba chóir duit do iarratas a chur isteach 3 mhí sula scroicheann tú 65 bliain nó 6 mhí má thuill tú síntiúisí árachais shóisialaigh i dtír amháin nó i roinnt tíortha den Aontais Eorpach. Tá roinnt moille ag baint faoi láthair le hiarratais ar phinsin stáit a phróiseáil agus d’fhéadfadh sé roinnt ama a ghlacadh ar an Roinn d’éileamh a phróiseáil. D’fheadfá a bheith i dteideal Liúntas Leasa Forlíontach fad is atá d’éileamh á phróiseáil ag an Roinn. Ó Aibreán 2012 is féidir éilimh déanacha ar phinsin ranníocacha bheith siardhátaithe suas go 6 mhí ar a mhéid. Baineann sé seo le Pinsean Stáit (Ranníocach agus Idirthréimhse) agus Pinsean Baintrí, Baintrí Fir nó Páirtnéara Shibhialta Mharthanaigh (Ranníocach).
