Art. 16 Ordinance of June 11, 2021, on Transitional Benefits for Older Unemployed Persons (OPtra) - Date Relevant for the Calculation of Income and Assets

For the calculation of transitional benefits, the following are considered: a. on the date on which the right to transitional benefits arises: the relevant income and assets; b. in the case of ongoing transitional benefits: the assets as of January 1 of the year for which the benefits are received and the relevant income of the previous year.

If a person has received transitional benefits for only part of the previous year, only the relevant income for the period of receipt is considered.

For persons whose relevant income can be established using a tax assessment, the implementing bodies are authorized to use, as the calculation period, the period on which the latest tax assessment is based, provided that no change in the economic situation of the person has occurred in the meantime.

Transitional benefits are calculated taking into account ongoing annuities, pensions, and other periodic benefits (Art. 10, para. 1, let. d, LPtra).
