Egypt’s House approves law to raise pension ceiling for military employees

The House of Representatives approved draft changes to raise the ceiling of pensionable income for military employees in a plenary session on Tuesday, and referred them to the Council of State (Maglis El Dawla) for a final legal review. The changes bring a 1975 law on military pensions in line with the recently passed Social Security and Pensions Act, according to a House report cited by Al Shorouk. The latter law regulates the pensionable income ceiling for public and private sector workers, among other things.
