## Origin of the Right to a Pension

The basis for the origin of the right to a pension is the attainment of pension age — 65 years; at the same time, the right to a pension arises for women from the age of 60. Where a person has simultaneously acquired the right to benefits provided by this law and by the Law on State Compensation and State Academic Stipend, he has the right to claim the benefit granted by only one law, at his own choice. The right to a pension does not arise, and an arisen right ceases, during a person's exercise of public activity.

### At what age does the pension start?

Pension age is 65, for women from 60; during public activity the right does not arise.

### How is the increase calculated?

Under 70 — by inflation with a 20 lari minimum; 70 and above — by inflation and 80 percent of GDP growth, with a 25 lari minimum.

### Where is the pension paid?

On the territory of Georgia, at any place of the pensioner's choosing; the current month's pension — by the end of the following month.

### What happens on non-receipt?

After 6 months the pension is suspended; on renewal up to 1 year is compensated, and after 3 years it terminates.
