Note:
From January 2000 political appointees were retroactively brought into the pension system dating to 1 May 1996. From 1 January 2004 political appointee participation in the Pension Fund was discontinued; however, payments continued to be administered, with shortfalls in revenues and outlays to be compensated by governments at all levels according to law.
