Starting in July 2026, women in Romania who meet the criteria provided by law will be able to apply for the old-age pension at the age of 62 years and 7 months, one month later than those who acquired this right in the first half of the year.  The announcement was also made by the National Public Pension House, through a post published on its official Facebook page. The change is part of a gradual process to equalize the standard retirement age for women and men. Those interested can consult annex 5 of law no.
