Which yearbooks will they gain on recalculation of the pension? The amendment afraid early retirement
According to "Gazeta Wyborcza", this problem related to earlier pensions concerns persons born in 1949-59 (for women) and 1949-54 (for men), in addition to the 1953 yearbook, who have exercised the right to quit early. It benefits erstwhile working under peculiar conditions. Unfortunately, the amendment of the rules of 1 January 2013 caused the Social safety Office to deduct the amount of pensions paid from it erstwhile determining the amount of universal pension after these recipients reached the retirement age. As a result, seniors are offered a benefit lower than before. Many of them so stay on early retirement.

This is the situation in which Mrs Anna from the Silesian Voivodeship was born in 1954. The female retired early in July 2009, and in October 2015 decided to quit by law. However, ZUS calculated her lower benefit, so the elder did not decide to change. Subsequent steps were taken only after the judgement of the Constitutional Court of 2024, which stated that early retirement should not be deducted erstwhile establishing the universal pension. On March 25, 2025, the Bielsko-Biała territory Court sided with Ms Anna and obliged ZUS to recalculate her performance without any deductions. The Office filed an appeal against this judgment, but on June 18, 2025 the Court of Appeal in Katowice re-decided in favour of the senior. As a result, its benefits are expected to increase by PLN 281.13, and will besides receive about PLN 24.5 1000 compensation for earlier periods.
A retired teacher, who besides fought ZUS in court, gained even more. Its benefit will increase by about PLN 770 per month, and it is to get about PLN 30 1000 compensation. But what about others in a akin situation?
Who's going to get their pensions even? The government is working on a statutory solution, but with restrictions
"Electionary" recalls that the government has already drafted a bill of alleged resolution related to the deduction of early pensions erstwhile establishing the universal benefit and has already directed it for consultation. However, it does not presume payment of compensation for the full earlier period.
The addressees of this law are a privileged group. They could benefit from the privilege of early retirement, even though the fresh pension strategy they belonged to did not, in principle, foresee this
- reads in the task cited by Infor portal. However, this explanation raises the concerns of experts.
In my opinion, the deficiency of alignment is simply a mistake and is most likely only due to the request to reduce one-off budget expenditure. After all, underselling pensions over the years is simply a fact and is unconstitutional. Hence, I find it inappropriate to rise the issue of 'privileging'
- stated in an interview with the portal lawyer Konrad Giedrajć. Thus, many people may be more likely to apply the Social safety Service to court and get compensation by this way, especially as the Recovery Act is not to enter into force until June 2026.
