factory workers in the cities, were required in the 1920s and 1930s to pay 8% of their
earnings into sickness, invalidity and old-age benefit funds. " "From the 1920s there were six classes of contribution, depending on type of employment, age and sex, and determing the benefit entitlement. This was reduced to five classes in 1934, but from 1938 there were 8 classes and from 1940 this increased to10 classes" "Additionally, from 1935, a stamp was required for the issue of the contributions book itself" (John Barefoot & Valentin Robu: Bulgaria & Romania Revenues) (Colours of overprints= (R) red (V)violet (B) black (Bl) blue All nice images that can be enlarged: courtesy Nicolaide Matache (All catalogues differ totally - it would be helpful with more images to verify the facts) |
