THE LAW
of 13 November 2020
on a one-off pension allowance in 2020 and amending Act No. 155 / 1995 Coll., on Pension Insurance, as amended
Parliament has decided on this law of the Czech Republic:
_
A single pension allowance (hereinafter referred to as "the allowance ') shall be granted by the State to pension beneficiaries as financial assistance.
(1) The entitlement to the allowance shall be granted to a natural person who has been awarded a pension pension under Czech legislation (hereinafter referred to as "pension") on the basis of an application submitted before 1 December 2020 from a date falling within the period before 1 December 2020, provided that the entitlement to payment of that pension has lasted for at least part of November 2020 and has not ceased to be entitled to payment of that pension in that month. The condition that the pension entitlement remained and did not expire in November 2020 shall be deemed to have been fulfilled if, before 1 December 2020, the pension entitlement as provided for in Article 58 (1) or Article 61a of the Pension Insurance Act has ceased because of the entitlement to another pension and the entitlement to the payment of that other pension has remained until the end of November 2020; If the entitlement to an invalidity pension is terminated pursuant to Article 58 (1) of the Pension Insurance Act, the condition for applying for a pension before 1 December 2020 shall also be deemed to be fulfilled.
(2) If the pensioner is entitled to multiple pensions, the allowance is granted only once.
(3) The amount of the allowance is CZK 5,000.
(1) The allowance shall be paid by the social security authority responsible for the payment of the pension. The contribution shall be paid without application in December 2020 by the deadline specified by that authority. If the conditions for entitlement to the allowance referred to in Article 2 (1) are met, but the pension is not started in November 2020, the allowance shall be paid no later than 1 month from the date of the start of the pension. If the pension is paid under the Act on the organisation and implementation of social security on the basis of a living certificate, the allowance shall be paid no later than 2 months after the submission of the certificate.
(2) The allowance shall be paid in the same way as the pension is paid in November 2020.
(3) A decision on entitlement to the allowance shall be taken by the social security authority in writing only if it has submitted an authorised application for the allowance in the event that the allowance has not been paid by the date referred to in paragraph 1 and that application has been rejected for failure to fulfil the conditions for entitlement to the allowance; If this application has not been submitted by 30 June 2021 at the latest, entitlement to the allowance shall cease. The procedure for the issue of this Decision shall be treated in a similar manner to that of the proceedings relating to pension insurance, including the submission of objections to the decision of the Social Security Authority. No payment notice shall be issued.
(4) The entitlement to the allowance does not go to other persons.
(5) Unpaid contributions shall be returned to the competent social security authority. The recovery of the wrongly paid contribution shall be treated in a similar manner to the recovery of the wrongly paid pension.
(1) Where an amount of income is ascertained for the purposes of other legislation, the allowance shall not be taken into account.
(2) The contribution cannot be affected by the execution of the decision.
(3) The costs of the payment of the contribution, including those relating to its payment, are borne by the State budget.
