The government has decided that the 14th pension will be paid this year together with the September pension. About a million senior citizens who receive their pensions on the 1st of the month will receive a transfer or an additional transfer of PLN 14 at the end of August (September 1 is a Sunday). People whose payment date is set for the 5th, 6th, 10th, 15th, 20th or 25th of the month will receive their pension plus the 14th pension in September. In October, people who have pre-retirement benefits or allowances will receive their allowance.
How much exactly will 14 be? A year ago it was 2 thousand. Total 650 PLN. This year the group of fourteen will be smaller. However, the government assures that it was calculated according to the regulations and will amount to the minimum pension – that is, 1000 PLN. 780 PLN and 96 grozy. This amount will be given to people whose allowance does not exceed 2000 PLN. Total 900 PLN.
If the pension or annuity is higher, the 14th pension will be reduced on a zloty-for-zloty basis. The minimum payment that will go to an old-age person is PLN 50 gross, i.e. PLN 39.50 net. The table shows the calculations of the amount of gross and specific pensions due, depending on the amount of the pension.
Thirteen and fourteen years in danger? The Minister of Family spoke
The 14th grades will be indexed, but the threshold will not be indexed.
It is worth emphasizing that these 14 parts will be paid only once. Next year, after indexation, the minimum pension will increase – and with it – the maximum amount of this allowance for the elderly. The government expects that next year the indexation will reach 6.78%. With this increase, the minimum pension and the 14th pension will reach PLN 1000. PLN 901 and a total of PLN 71.
Higher pensions, 13 and 14. We know the government’s plan for 2025.
As Fact has learned, there is currently no debate in government about whether the 14-year-old eligibility criterion should be fully valued.
