A legislative bill submitted by the Dominican Association of Pension Fund Administrators (ADAFP) modifies Article 45 of Law 87-01, which proposes to increase the retirement age from 60 to 65. It also establishes, however, that the contributor should have accumulated a fund that will permit him or her to enjoy a retirement equal to or higher than the minimum pension. Another option suggested by the ADAFP to the Senate Commission for Social Security, Labor, and Pensions, is for retirement at 60 providing the contributor has accumulated a fund that would allow him or her to enjoy a retirement income over 50% of the minimum pension. The association told Diario Libre that in the case of reaching 65 and not having a fund that would allow them to enjoy at least a minimum pension, the contributor would have the right to request the benefits from the Social Solidarity Fund, providing s/he fulfills the minimum number of payments established by the law.
