The Spanish authority will not calculate the national pension, rosa having worked less than the minimum duration required in Spain. It will only calculate the equivalent rate of the EU – starting with the theoretical amount that Rosa would have had if she had worked every 30 years in Spain – say 1,200 euros. At the age of 60, Caroline is only entitled to the French part of her pension. She gets the Danish part when she is 67 – the legal retirement age in Denmark for the Carolina age group. Social security coordination arrangements for those who are not in the wa sector and who enter the EU from 1 January 2021 are the subject of negotiations between the UK and the EU on future relations. As stated in the political declaration, the UK and the EU have agreed to examine future social security coordination schemes in light of future free movement. The exception concerns Ireland, with which the UK Government has signed an agreement whereby “mutual benefits and social security rights of Irish and British nationals and their family members continue to operate independently of those granted to EU nationals from other Member States.” In the end, Rosa receives a pension of 1,400 euros. If you are insured for less than a year in a country, a particular rule may apply, as some EU countries do not grant a pension for short periods: your months of insurance or stay in the country where you worked for a short period are not lost, but are taken into account in the calculation of your pension by the countries where you worked longer. As a member of the EU, the UK was part of a system of social security rights coordination for people moving within the EU. This document examines the terms of the UK-EU withdrawal agreement and the ongoing negotiations on future relations.

Guidelines for Gov.UK include: living in Europe; benefits and pensions of British nationals in the EEA and Switzerland; Benefits and pensions for EEA and Swiss nationals in the UK. Each pension body calculates the share of the pension it is supposed to pay taking into account the periods completed in all EU countries. Both countries have a minimum working period of 15 years to qualify for a pension. Each country calculates Rosa`s pension: you can only receive your pension in the country where you live (or worked last) when you have reached the legal retirement age in that country. If you have accumulated pension rights in other countries, you do not receive these pension items until you reach the legal retirement age in those countries. In some countries, the pension agency should send you your pension application form before reaching retirement age in that country. If you don`t receive it, ask your pension agency if they will send it to you automatically. These discussions will set out future rules, including the state pension, for EU citizens who will move to a Member State after 1 January 2021.

However, the German pension agency had to take into account Tom`s years working in Portugal. She has recognized his right and pays him a pension for the four years he worked in Germany.
