The amount of the early retirement pension is based on the following data:

Article II 2.04 Entitlement to Early Retirement Pension

A beneficiary of a deferred retirement pension is entitled to receive an early retirement pension as follows:

1. for members who joined the Fund on or before 31 December 2011, from the age of 50;
2. for members who joined the Fund on or after 1 January 2012, from the age of 52.

• The Fund’s Rules applicable at the time you joined
• Reference salary
• Years of membership (including purchases)
• Reduction factor due to age
• Reduction factor in the event of incomplete contributions

An early retirement pension is paid until the last day of the month of the beneficiary’s death.

Calculation

• if you joined the Fund on or before 31 December 2011:
  • 2% of your final reference salary x years of membership x reduction factor due to age x reduction factor for incomplete contributions (if relevant)
• if you joined the Fund on or after 1 January 2012:
  • 1.85% of the average of your last 36 months’ reference salaries x years of membership x reduction factor due to age x reduction factor for incomplete contributions (if relevant)
