PPK participants will receive subsidies. Money within two weeks

The Polish Development Fund (PFR), a state -owned company that supervises employee capital plans (PPK) has announced annual subsidies for program participants. – Already in April, over 2.17 million participants will receive an annual surcharge for 2024 in the amount of PLN 521 million. For participation in PPK in a given calendar year, the PPK participant receives an annual subsidy (PLN 240) – we read in a message issued by PFR.

Annual surcharge for PPK participants. Who will receive?

The company reminds that the annual surcharge is granted if the amount of payments-basic and additional-financed by the employing entity (e.g. employer) and this participant in a given calendar year was at least equal to the amount of basic payments due from 6 times the minimum remuneration for work in force in a given year. This means that in order to get an additional payment on the PPK account in the previous year you had to accumulate PLN 890.82.

The subsidies will be transferred before April 15 this year.

From the data provided “Wprost” at the end of February, almost 3.8 million employees participate in PPK. – 3.77 million people (as of February 24, 20125) already participate in employee capital plans, and the value of net assets (WAN) is PLN 33.38 billion. This means a dynamic increase in both the number of participants (only in the last month 44,000 new people joined the PPK) and assets, which confirms the growing trust in the program – Marta Damm-Świerkocka, a member of the board of PFR Portal PPK Sp.

PPK was introduced in 2019 by the PiS government. The current team plans to change the program, which assume, among others The more frequent automatic entry of employees (currently it takes place every four years). As the “Gazeta Wyborcza” has established, it is also to include the oldest group at the age of 55 plus (so far these people had to submit their own application in this matter).
