Good information for many pensioners. They will no longer have to confess ZUS
A good change is being prepared for the so -called earlier pensioners who earn extra money. The government wants these people to no longer have to inform ZUS about additional revenues. Few exceptions are foreseen.
People who earn extra money and not yet reached retirement age (60 years for women and 65 years for men) must be careful about the limits of their earnings. Except for them may cause that the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) will reduce and even suspend the payment of benefits to working pensioners.
A reduction in the pension occurs in a situation where the salary exceeds 70 percent. the amount of average monthly salary. Suspension of the benefit occurs when the salary exceeds 130 percent. the amount of average monthly salary.
At the beginning of June, the limit amounts of revenues changed. A reduction in pension may occur if earnings of previous pensioners are in the range from PLN 6273.61 to PLN 11,650.97 gross per month. However, if they exceed PLN 11,650.97 gross, you need to take into account the suspension of payment of the benefit. These limits will apply until the end of August.
An important change for earning retirees
Pursuant to current regulations, the earlier must inform ZUS about additional revenues that they achieved last year. There is one chance that this will change.
The list of legislative works of the government published information about the deregulation project, which concerns the amendment to the Act on pensions from the Social Insurance Fund. The project assumes, among others Limiting the obligation to notify ZUS about the amount of income. The exception is to be pensioners who generate revenues abroad or receive salary (uniformed services).
At the same time, it would be possible to request the ZUS to issue a certificate confirming the income obtained, but only in case of doubts as to the data collected by the institution.
Persons who have reached retirement age, as well as persons receiving survivors’ pension, who also have the right to retire for the reach of reaching the universal retirement age, do not have to inform about the amount of their earnings.
