From March 1, 2026, pensions will increase for 75-year-olds: amount and conditions.

According to inkorr.com: From March 1, 2026, the pension supplement for people aged 75 and over will rise to 364.59 zlotys per month. This positive innovation has become possible due to the annual indexation after the valorization that will take place in March. One of the main advantages is that the payment will be made automatically, without the need to submit additional documents.

Right to receive the supplement

According to ZUS, all pensioners and rent recipients who are 75 years old have the right to an additional payout. Funds will be transferred automatically without any application submission. Those under the age of 75 may only receive the supplement if there is an official ZUS decision regarding their inability to live independently. In this case, an application must be submitted along with an OL-9 certificate. In all situations, having a designated pension or rent from ZUS remains a mandatory condition.

Conditions for payment

The payment of the supplement begins in the month following the attainment of 75 years of age. Individuals who are in residential care facilities (ZOL) or social care (ZPO) for more than 14 days in a month will not receive the additional payment. Those who already receive similar assistance from municipal or communal social assistance centers are also excluded. The supplement is not taxable and is not subject to recovery, making it a safe source of income for the elderly.

From March 1, 2026, the increase in the pension supplement for individuals aged 75 and over will become important financial support for the elderly. This innovation will simplify the process of receiving assistance by providing an automated payment system and removing unnecessary formalities for pensioners. The supplement is not subject to taxation or collection, making it a stable and secure income in old age.
