Typically, pensions are paid by ZUS on the 1st, 5th, 6th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th of each month. The problem is when the pension payment date falls on a day off or a holiday.
This will be the case next week. Seniors who received benefits on the 1st day of the month will receive their January payment in December. The company usually sends transfers a day or two in advance.
There will be more such situations next year. “Fakt” learned the exact calendar of payments throughout 2026.

Practically every month, one of the paydays falls on a day off from work. As every year, retirees also receive additional bonuses.
“Thirteenths are always paid in April. However, not all seniors will receive these allowances at Easter, which falls on April 5 and 6 next year. Only people whose payment deadline falls on the 1st and 6th of the month will receive thirteenths before Christmas. Seniors whose payment date is later will receive pensions increased by thirteenths – let us remind you that payments are made by one transfer or order,” we read in “Fakt”.
In turn, the fourteenth pension is traditionally paid in September. However, here, unlike in the case of children aged thirteen, there is an income criterion and only those with the lowest benefits will receive the full amount of the allowance.
