Hi
My wife 55 and myself 57 left work in January 2018 to travel for 2 years initially ending up traveling over 4 years.
I worked January 2018 and she worked 1 week in January 2018.
We now have the opportunity to stay travelling for the foreseeable future, hopefully until retirement age.
My PRSI contributions are as follows;
1982 - 1986 = 220
1986 - 1991 = 0
1991 - 2018 = 1356
I went back to college from 1986 until 1989 as a mature student. So no PRSI contributions for these years.
We both worked in London from June 1989 until June 1991.
My wife has over 800 PRSI contributions from 1992 until 2018 working part time.
During those years she had an 11 year break of no contributions while staying at home with the kids
Does my wife need to pay voluntary contributions to receive a Contributery Pension?
Because I worked January 2018, will my voluntary contributions be only €500 yearly or 6.6% of 2017 earnings? (which would be €0000's yearly).
Thx.
