Assistance (non-contributory) pension
Sodra state assistance pension for people without sufficient Sodra contributions (~€210–280/month).
Start application →The assistance pension is paid by Sodra to people who are not entitled to a contributory pension — for example, children with disabilities (up to age 24), people of pensionable age without the required service record, and survivors who lost their breadwinner. It is paid from the state budget (not from Sodra contributions). The amount in 2026 is around €210/month (1.0 BSP) up to €280 (1.5 BSP). It is significantly lower than a contributory pension but ensures a basic level of income. It is separate from <a href="/socialine-pasalpa">social allowance</a> — these are two different forms of support that can be combined.
