Alfonso Muñoz, Social Security official: If we are 35 years old, we can advance our retirement by two years

La edad mínima de jubilación en España aumentará a 67 años a partir de 2027, excepto para quienes hayan cotizado al menos 38 años y seis meses, que podrían jubilarse a los 65. Alfonso Muñoz, funcionario de la Seguridad Social, explica en un video de YouTube cómo calcular la jubilación anticipada. Según Muñoz, para poder jubilarse dos años antes de la edad ordinaria, se requieren al menos 35 años de cotización. También existen condiciones para la jubilación anticipada involuntaria, que permite adelantar hasta cuatro años si se cumplen ciertos requisitos. Sin embargo, jubilarse antes implica recibir una pensión menor, ya que la reducción depende del número de meses de adelanto y del tiempo total cotizado.

Alfonso Muñoz, a Spanish Social Security official, stated that individuals with 35 years of contributions can retire two years earlier than their standard retirement age. This comes amid changes to Spain’s retirement system, which will set the ordinary retirement age at 67 starting in 2027, except for those who have contributed at least 38 years and six months, allowing them to retire at 65. The rules for early retirement vary depending on the number of contribution years. Those with 35 years of contributions can retire up to two years before their standard retirement age. For example, someone whose standard retirement age is 67 could retire at 65 if they meet this requirement. Additionally, there is involuntary early retirement for those who lose their jobs due to circumstances beyond their control, requiring at least 33 years of contributions and allowing retirement up to four years earlier than the standard age. Muñoz emphasized that retiring early does not necessarily mean it is the best financial option, as pensions are reduced based on the number of months advanced and total contribution time. He warned against the misconception that simply subtracting two or four years from 65 would determine eligibility. Instead, individuals must first calculate their standard retirement age according to the new rules. Spain’s Social Security system continues to adjust its policies, offering different pathways for early retirement while maintaining strict criteria tied to contribution periods.
