Bulgaria's Minimum Pension to Become 200 Leva Starting Today
Monday, 02 October 2017
From this month, 824 thousand pensioners will receive a higher pension with an average rise of 17 leva. The minimum pension for old age is 200 leva.
This is the second increase of pensions for this year, agreed between GERB and their coalition partners.
Thus, 724,000 pensioners who now take less than 200 leva will receive a different increase to reach the new minimum amount. These include minimum disability and hereditary pensions. Separately another 100 thousand widow's supplements will increase.
