Award of benefits Sample Clauses

Award of benefits. (1) The competent institution shall calculate the amount of the benefit that would be due: (a) under the legislation it applies, only where the conditions for entitlement to benefits have been satisfied exclusively under national law (independent benefit); (b) by calculating a theoretical amount and subsequently an actual amount (pro rata benefit), as follows: (i) the theoretical amount of the benefit is equal to the benefit which the person concerned could claim if all the periods of insurance and/or of residence which have been completed under the legislation of the other State had been completed under the legislation it applies on the date of the award of the benefit. If, under this legislation, the amount does not depend on the duration of the periods completed, that amount shall be regarded as being the theoretical amount; (ii) the competent institution shall then establish the actual amount of the pro rata benefit by applying to the theoretical amount the ratio between the duration of the periods completed before materialisation of the risk under the legislation it applies and the total duration of the periods completed before materialisation of the risk under the legislations of both States concerned. (2) Where appropriate, the competent institution shall apply, to the amount calculated in accordance with points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1, all the rules relating to reduction, suspension or withdrawal, under the legislation it applies, within the limits provided for by Articles 50 to 52. (3) The person concerned shall be entitled to receive from the competent institution of each State the higher of the amounts calculated in accordance with points (a) and (b) of paragraph 1. (4) Where the calculation pursuant to point (a) of paragraph 1 in one State invariably results in the independent benefit being equal to or higher than the pro rata benefit, calculated in accordance with point (b) of paragraph 1, the competent institution shall waive the pro rata calculation, provided that: (a) such a situation is set out in Part 1 of Annex 3; (b) no legislation containing rules against overlapping, as referred to in Articles 50 and 52, is applicable unless the conditions laid down in Article 52(2) are fulfilled; and (c) Article 54 is not applicable in relation to periods completed under the legislation of the other State in the specific circumstances of the case.

Award of benefits. The aggregation of periods for the purpose of calculating benefit is based on the principle that the amount of a benefit, particularly a pension, payable under contributory and certain non-contributory schemes may depend on the length of the periods completed. The majority of instruments stipulate a generally accepted co-ordination approach (the so-called "pro rata" method), whereby the competent institution of each contracting state concerned determines the theoretical amount of the pension which would be payable to the person concerned under the legislation it applies, if all the periods taken into account under the aggregation principle had been completed under that legislation, and then calculates the amount actually payable by itself on the basis of the periods completed under this legislation as a proportion of the total periods completed under the various countries’ legislation to which the person concerned has been subject. However, when a contracting state’s legislation stipulates that the amount of the pension is proportional to the length of the periods completed, the state’s competent institution may calculate the pension directly. Moreover, if the amount which the person concerned may claim under a contracting state’s legislation is greater than the sum of the elements of the pension calculated on a proportional basis, a supplement equal to the difference must be paid by the competent institution which applies this legislation. However, it should be noted that some bilateral instruments do not always use this system. In the absence of this safeguard, they allow those concerned to opt for the separate payment of pensions payable under the various countries’ legislation to which they have been subject, instead of joint payment. But in another case it is always allowed. The two alternatives for the calculation of benefits take that into account. Whereas in both alternatives the national entitlement is guaranteed if the application of Article 20 is not necessary for the entitlement to benefit, the two alternatives give different solutions for the other cases; alternative 1 provides for the "pro rata" calculation whereas alternative 2 enables a direct calculation without the necessity to know the exact amount of the periods of insurance of the other country. Examples: Qualifying period National calculation State A: 10 years 15 years 30% basic amount State B: 20 years 1% for each year A: Theoretical amount 30% + (20 + 10) x 1% = 60% Benefit payable ...
