The Spanish government approved a Real Decree that expands flexible retirement, allowing pensioners to work part‑time or self‑employed while receiving a proportion of their pension. The decree eliminates the minimum waiting period, so pensioners may apply immediately after their pension is recognised. It widens the work‑employment options to include self‑employment for those not registered as self‑employed in the three years before retirement. The part‑time work range rises from 25–75% to 33–80% of a full‑time job, and pensioners receive an extra pension percentage when the flexible period begins at least six months after retirement. Self‑employed pensioners can retain up to 25% of the pension. The decree applies to all social‑security regimes except the special civil‑servants, armed‑forces, and justice‑administration regimes, and will take effect three months after publication in the Official State Gazette.
