Offsetting debts against pensions must not financially debilitate the pensioners
Description
The Ombudsman has suggested that offsetting social benefits against unduly paid benefits must not reduce earnings below the poverty threshold, determined by Eurostat.
On this basis, the Ombudsman proposed to make all the necessary adaptations of the computer applications used by the Social Security Fund OAEE to allow offsetting at instalments lower from 1/4 of the gross amount of pension. The proposals were not accepted.
