Surprising payment: Pensions are subject to annual valorisation. Its height depends, among others from inflation and increase in remuneration for the previous year. The final valorisation indicator will be announced in February 2025, and pensions in a valorized amount are paid from March. This is how it has been working for many years. This year, however, seniors may be gently surprised. Some They will receive pensions in the valorized amount in February.
A million “exceptions”: The payment of pensions takes place on fixed dates, according to a specific schedule. He gets into seniors' accounts of the 1st, 6th, 10th, 15th, 20th and 25th day of the month. However, what is important, if one of these days falls on Saturday, Sunday or public holiday, seniors get a benefit in advance. It just so happens that March 1 is Saturday, which is why the March pensions, i.e. after valorisation, the seniors will get at the end of February. Benefits at the latest They will go to them on February 28. This “exception” applies to about 1 million people. Valorization of pensions and disability pensions takes place automatically. This means that all persons authorized to benefit will receive them in a higher amount and you do not need to submit applications for this purpose.
Higher pensions: From March 1, 2024, pensions increased by 12.12 percent. This year, it is practically certain that the valorisation will be lower, and for the first time in many years one -digit. Although there is no official indicator yet, according to preliminary estimates It is to amount to 5.52 percent For example, with such a valorisation indicator, the lowest pension will increase by PLN 98.31 gross from PLN 1780.96 to PLN 1879.27 gross. This year, valorisation will be smaller, among others due to lower inflation.
