Question juridique clé
Whether the respondent was subject to AHV contribution status as a non-employed person during the 2009 pre-retirement leave.
Solution extraite
Yes. During the pre-retirement leave he had no actual gainful activity and therefore had to be treated as non-employed for AHV purposes.
Motifs extraits
AHV status depends on actual economic circumstances and real work performance, not on formal employment labels. The pre-retirement leave lacked actual labour, so the non-employed contribution regime applied.
