Up till now, neither OASI nor the occupational benefit system had any statutory provisions for partial retirement. But many pension funds have already introduced partial retirement on a voluntary basis. Now, under the OASI 21 reform, an insured person will be able to draw partial benefits early or defer them to a later date.
If partial retirement is something that appeals to you, make sure you talk to your pension fund and relevant OASI compensation fund to discuss your options as well as any conditions that apply.
If you shift from full-time to part-time, don’t forget about your accident insurance. Talk with your employer to clarify the extent of your coverage.
