If an employee has already retired from the company but is under 60 years old, can they claim their personal pension account funds early? If they become unemployed before reaching 60, can they claim their pension early?

Considering that the labor pension is intended for the worker’s retirement life, it is not advisable to claim it too early. Therefore, workers must be at least 60 years old before they can claim their personal pension funds.
