Fact Check: Retirement Age Was Not Increased in Budget Session
1/30/2026 9:53:00 AM
Reports circulated in recent hours claiming that the retirement age would be raised to 66 following the approval of the 2026 budget.
However, the information is inaccurate, as the issue was not raised during budget discussions, and the budget includes no provision to that effect. Should the government adopt such an approach in the future, it would need to submit a draft law, which it has not done so far.
