Submitted by mmarquez on

bundesregierung.de (31.03.2020)

Durch die Corona-Krise besteht ein besonders hoher Bedarf an medizinischem Personal. Aber auch in anderen systemrelevanten Bereichen kann es zu Personalengpässen aufgrund von Erkrankungen oder Quarantäneanordnungen kommen. Deshalb erleichtert das Gesetz Rentnerinnen und Rentnern die Weiterarbeit oder die Wiederaufnahme einer Beschäftigung. Dazu hebt sie die jährliche Hinzuverdienstgrenze vorübergehend von 6.300 Euro auf 44.590 Euro an.
