The required period of work will be gradually increased by two months depending on the year of birth of the insuree. Insurees born in the same year have the same required period of working history for the purpose of entitlement to an early old-age pension.
The required period of working history is determined as the difference between the general pensionable age for the relevant year of birth and the number 23.
Example:
The required duration of working history for insurees born in 1961, whose general pensionable age is 63 years and 2 months, is 40 years and 2 months.
General pensionable age - 23 = required period of working history
63 years and 2 m – 23 = 40 years and 2 m

For insured persons born after December 31, 1966, the pensionable age is currently unknown. It will be known five years before reaching the pensionable age and it will be determined by a measure of the Ministry of Labour, Social Affairs and Family of the Slovak Republic.
If the general pensionable age for a particular year is not yet known, for the purpose of determining the required period of working history, the last determined general pensionable age is increased by two months for each year for which the pensionable age is not known.
For example, for the purpose of determining the required period of working history for insurees born in 1968, the general pensionable age of 64 years and 4 months is used (the last known general pensionable age is for the year 1966 and is 64 years, so it is necessary to add 4 months for the two years whose pensionable age is unknown). The required period of working history for the year of birth in 1968 is 41 years and 4 months (64 years and 4 months - 23).
Example:
For the purposes of determining the required period of working history for insurees born in 1969, the general pensionable age of 64 years and 6 months is used. The last known general pensionable age is determined for the year 1966, namely 64 years. Thus, for the year 1969, it is necessary to add 6 months for three years whose pensionable age is not known. The required period of working history for insurees born in 1969 is 41 years and 6 months.
Assumed general pensionable age - 23 = required period of working history
64 years and 6 m – 23 = 41 years and 6 m.
