Infor.pl reports that pensioners are impatient and want the government to speed up work on the act introducing another supplement. Parliamentary interpellations are regularly submitted to the Sejm due to complaints about unfair differentiation of pensioners. The interested parties also send petitions addressed to ministries.

The portal also notes that the government always includes information about the bill in its responses to interpellations or petitions. It also states that the bill is at the analysis stage, and everything depends on the consent of the Ministry of Finance and the ministry finding funds.

Social pension supplement. Key rules

The introduction of the supplement is one of the biggest news for pensioners in 2025. It is available to people who are:

completely incapable of working,
completely incapable of independent existence.

This benefit is paid together with the social pension, and its first transfers started in May 2025. The supplementary supplement included compensation for the period from January 2025. In January and February, its amount was PLN 2,520 gross, while after the March indexation it increased to PLN 2,610.72 gross.

An application for the supplement is not required for people who were already granted a social pension and were declared completely incapable of work and independent living as of 1 January 2025. These people will receive the benefit automatically, and the information will appear on their account in the PUE ZUS system.

In turn, pensioners who, on 1 January, only had a certificate of incapacity for work, but not of incapacity for independent living, must apply for the supplement on their own by submitting the EDD-SOC form available at ZUS branches or online.

The following are deducted from the supplementary allowance amount:

health insurance contributions,
advance payment of income tax.

The benefit may also be subject to enforcement by a bailiff on the same principles as a social pension.

The introduction of the supplementary supplement changes the rules for receiving the supplementary benefit. If the sum of all benefits of a person exceeds PLN 2,552.39 gross (the limit in force from March 2025), the right to the supplementary benefit will be lost. This applies to situations in which, after the supplementary supplement has been granted, the income threshold is exceeded.

New regulations are introduced by the Act of 27 September 2024 amending the Act on Social Pension and certain other acts. The basis for benefits remains the Act of 27 June 2003 on Social Pension.
