Dear Editor,
Alex Richardson (AR) is hereby appealing to the Ambt. Court 1st pertaining to the imposed pension plan of the Government (APS).
According to the laws, someone, a so-called “sleeper” in the APS system and not contributing financially to the current pension plan of the government (APS) since November 30, 2013, is still obligated to follow the ongoing changing laws implementations.
AR submitted a letter dated 8/27/2018 to APS at which time, the pensionable age was set at 60 years and today AR is facing a pensionable of 62 years and hasn’t contributed since 2013 in the APS system. I do understand that the laws (Landsverordening v/d 11 April 2016) were changed and approved officially but that doesn’t mean it is right. It is for me impossible that the laws changed and approved are affecting me directly while AR has nothing to do with the APS since November 30, 2013, and has not been in the position to build up any additional pension funds at my 60th birthday and that’s okay but subject to changes that were done after the year 2013.
This is considered inhuman to me and even though I complained to the respected Fin. Minister, nothing was done and any consideration was adhered to and the responsible law makers seem to even care about any grievances stated in my letter. AR has followed all the steps and it seems to have fallen on deaf hears and the law that AR considered inhuman isn’t going to change until the courts get involved and review all sides.
AR even attempted to scheduled meetings with the unions and wasn’t able to get any response from such unions. The norm seems to be acceptable to all and therefore reaching my end of possibilities, AR has therefore decided to appeal to the court. The Ombudsman has clearly outlined every individual aspect that respectfully with no outcome in the near future expected and no consideration of the changing laws that are affecting AR even though he has not contributed to the APS pension since November 20, 2013.
It is time for the Ambt. Court to be called into the situation and have the Ambt. Court give a judgement as AR considered that AR rights were rudely neglected (inhuman) as AR stopped contributing to the APS respected authorities. This case needs to be judged and AR reserves the rights for the case to move forward and be presented to the courts.
AR strongly believes that the laws of 2013 should be apply to him at the time AR stopped contributing to the APS pension fund and not what is currently taking place with him as a “sleeper” pertaining to the changing laws.
Alex Richardson
