ZUS still has funds from OFE. However, the payment will not be made automatically. The heirs must initiate it themselves. According to experts, it is the heirs who should take the first step in this regard. No action on their part means that a portion of the funds are still in ZUS accounts. The procedures must be initiated by contacting the institution and there is no fixed deadline for doing so. However, the money paid is subject to flat personal income tax.
