Ce trebuie să facă pensionarii care vor să recupereze CASS la pensie? Judecătorii decid dacă dau banii înapoi • Newsweek România

Pensioners seeking to recover health insurance contributions (CASS) from their pensions face legal uncertainties as courts prepare to rule on the matter. Contributions are deducted from pensions exceeding 3,000 lei, with a 10% rate on the excess. The government plans to collect 1 billion euros from CASS in 2026, raising the stakes for recovery efforts. Pensioners have been advised against submitting recovery requests due to lack of legal grounds. The Constitutional Court is reviewing cases related to CASS retention, but no judgment date is set. Legal action against the pension house may be necessary, with collective lawsuits being an option to minimize costs. Legal experts suggest that constitutional protections for pensions could favor pensioners in court.
