Austria Extension Right Tender

Together the SPO and FPO have also requested an extension of the right to object to notices from pension insurance. Accordingly from 2020 insured persons should among other things combat notices regarding the right to insurance benefits the reimbursement of wrongly received benefits the determination of heavy working hours the determination of incapacity for work and the right to special retirement benefits as well as compensatory allowance notices by means of an objection and thus an internal examination of the notification by means of an objection. Can trigger committees. At present such an objection procedure is only legally anchored in connection with the initial credit to the pension account.The SPO-FPO application provides for three months as the deadline for the decision of the pension insurance. At the same time those affected should be free to choose whether to object to a decision or to immediately call the responsible social court. From the extension of the right to object the SPO and FPO expect better justification of decisions through pension insurance and better involvement of the insured for example through the possibility to submit opinions on medical reports.The OVP had previously taken a similar initiative. However in her application - which was assigned to the budget committee - she proposed a six-month decision period for pension insurance and only wanted to allow the social courts to be brought before the opposition proceedings to complete the case.
