PARLIAMENT TO DISCUSS DRAFT LAW ON JOINT PENSION

Ulaanbaatar /MONTSAME/ At a parliamentary session on Thursday, a proposal to discuss a draft law on joint pension in upcoming sessions was approved by a majority of members present. A previous discussion on this draft had been intermitted due to a break taken by the parliamentary caucus of the Mongolian People’s party. The law on joint pension allows a share in a pension for a person who is a legal spouse or common-law partner of the deceased pensioner after his/her death, in case both of the couple should have paid social insurance for minimum uninterrupted twenty years, and have been married for minimum ten years.
