The last hours at the request for a widow will receive a benefit with equalization for July

Some of the authorized persons will receive a benefit from two institutions: from ZUS and with another pension body. This means that such customers will receive two payments in different dates in one month.

Applications for a widow's pension can be submitted stationary, at the ZUS facility, but also electronically, among others through an account on the electronic service platform (PUE)/Ezus.

ZUS is one of the institutions that pay these benefits – it will serve about 90 percent. all applications.

A woman should be at least 60 years old, and a man at least 65, until the day of the death of the spouse, stay with him in marriage, not to be married and acquire the right to a survivor's pension after the deceased spouse no earlier than on the day of 55 years old by a woman and 60 years old by a man.

ZUS will issue a decision in which he refuses to determine the intersection of benefits, if the widow or widower does not meet at least one of the indicated conditions or if the amount of at least one of the established services is equal to the limit, i.e. three times the amount of the lowest pension, or exceeds it. Limiting the amount of benefits to three times the amount of the lowest pension was used – in the case of the benefits paid so far in the intersection – in 5 percent. cases.

The most common reasons for the negative decisions include: too high amount of the benefit currently paid (above three times the amount of the lowest pension), acquisition of the right to a survivor's pension after the deceased spouse earlier than five years before reaching the universal retirement age, lack of the right to your own benefit, lack of the right to a family pension, entering into a new marriage, not being married to the day of marriage, Failure to reach the universal retirement age.
