14. Pension 2025. When is the payment, how much will the benefit be and who is entitled to?


Although the name “14. Retirement” suggests that it applies only to seniors, the benefit also includes pensioners. According to the data of the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS), about 9 million pensioners live in Poland, which is almost 25 percent. country population. This group has over 1.1 million people charging survivors' pensions, including young beneficiaries up to the age of 25 – reminds Interia.
The amount of 14. Pension in 2025 depends on the lowest pension after March indexation, which is PLN 1,878.91 gross. However, not everyone will receive the full amount. Pursuant to the Act, the full benefit is granted to persons whose pension or pension does not exceed PLN 2,900 gross. For people with higher income, the “zloty for PLN” principle applies – the benefit is reduced by the amount of threshold.
For example, a pensioner with PLN 3,000 gross will receive a “fourteen” reduced by PLN 100. In turn, people with a pension over PLN 4,630.96 gross will not receive an allowance, because its value will drop below the minimum payment amount (PLN 50 gross).
When is the payment of the 14th pensions in 2025?
“Fourteen” was introduced in 2021 as a one -off form of support for pensioners. The benefit is paid automatically without having to submit applications.
The Ministry of Family and Social Policy (MRIPS) announced that the official payment schedule will be announced in the second half of 2025, but the ministry predicts that “fourteen” will go to accounts in September. The benefit will be granted automatically by ZUS, KRUS or other relevant institutions.
However, not everyone will be able to use this support. People whose retirement benefits are suspended in the month of payment of the “fourteen” will not receive the allowance.
