§ 59. Calculation of accumulation periods and insurance components of state pensions for years 1999, 2000 and 2001
(1) For calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001, one year towards the accumulation period of an insured person shall be calculated for the insured person for whom individually registered social tax has been paid or calculated pursuant to the Social Tax Act in an amount equal to at least the minimum monthly wage for a year.
(2) For calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001, upon calculation of the accumulation period, the individually registered social tax of an insured person for a calendar year shall be compared to the social tax calculated on the minimum monthly wage for January of the corresponding year multiplied by twelve.
(3) For calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001, if social tax is paid by the state pursuant to § 6 of the Social Tax Act, the accumulation period shall be calculated to be equivalent to payment of social tax on the minimum monthly wage.
(4) In order to calculate the annual factor of an insured person for the calendar years 1999, 2000 and 2001, the amounts of the individually registered social tax calculated for the insured person shall be totalled and divided by the average amount of the individually registered social tax in the given calendar year.
(5) The Government of the Republic shall approve the average amount of individually registered social tax of the year 2001 not later than on 20 March 2002 and this shall be implemented in the grant and recalculation of pensions for a term commencing on 1 April 2002.
(6) If a pension is granted with a commencement date before 1 April 2002, the average amount of individually registered social tax of the year 2001 which is approved by the Government of the Republic shall be taken as the basis for calculation of the pension.
