Art. 10a Pension deferment after reaching the reference age
1 If the employment relationship continues after reaching the reference age, the insured person has the option of requesting a pension deferral instead of receiving a retirement pension. The pension may be deferred until the person definitively ceases to work, but at the latest until the age of 70. Partial retirement is possible analogous to Art. 13. The pension deferral may be terminated at any time at the end of a month, irrespective of whether the person continues any gainful employment.
2 Disability benefits are no longer insured during the pension deferral period.
3 The retirement savings continue to accrue interest in accordance with Art. 9 para. 3 during the pension deferral period. At the request of the insured person, the contributions (without risk contribution) are due in accordance with Art. 7 paras. 1 to 3 and paras. 5 to 6. During the deferral period, it is no longer possible to change the savings option, although contributions can be waived at a later date. Art. 7(4) applies to retirement credits.
4 The conversion rate for calculating the retirement benefit is set out in Annex 3.
