A unique case of seniors: – three years ago I had to retire, because I heard more and more often that the old ones are taking full -time jobs, which is terrible stupidity, but invalid – said actress Anna Dymna in the program “World of Stars”. – I went to this pension and went out well because I have a much higher pension than I had a salary because I worked ten years longer. I have electricity anyway – she added. How is this possible?
The pension is growing with years of work: The actress, when she gave an interview, was 73 years old. This means that she abandoned her professional life at the age of 70. In Poland, the retirement age for women is 60 years, which means that she has worked in retirement for up to 10 years. Each subsequent year of work really conquered her retirement benefit. The Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy reports that the delay by a year of retirement causes an increase in benefit by approx. 8 percent. In turn, the president ZUS He calculated that “postponing the decision to retire for a year could Increase future benefits by up to 10-15 percent.and waiting for seven years can even double the benefit. ”
What depends on the amount of the pension? It is addicted to, among others from the accumulated capital on the account in ZUS. This is a recreated amount of social security contributions that have been paid during professional activity. Its amount depends on the seniority and earnings at that time. The pension system has been constructed so that our pension depends on how many contributions we have paid. Therefore The longer we are active and pay contributions, the higher our benefit will be. This is how it happened in the case of Anna Dymna. Importantly, the amount of the pension is also determined by the indexation of contributions and pensions, as well as the existence of life, published by the Central Statistical Office.
