This law changes how pension payments from social security, such as old-age pensions and disability pensions, are increased annually. Instead of basing increases on the Ministry of Finance's assessment of wage trends, which only considers collective bargaining wage changes, payments are now tied to the official wage index which reflects broader wage developments in the labor market. The change aims to ensure that pensioners do not fall behind compared to general wage trends and is part of the government's plan to improve living conditions for those receiving social security payments.
