In 2023, seniors will receive benefits higher by at least PLN 250, a the lowest old-age pension will increase to PLN 1,588.44. This means that pension benefits will increase by 13.8 percent. This information is certain because it comes from the parameters set out in the budget act for 2023, the draft of which was approved by the government.
– This two-component indexation mechanism is beneficial especially for people who receive the lowest benefits, because they are guaranteed that they will receive a PLN 250 higher pension or disability pension. This is a record high increase. It is our duty to ensure appropriate living conditions for the oldest Poles, which we fulfill every day. This is evidenced not only by the historically high indexation of benefits adopted by the Sejm, but also by other elements – already permanently inscribed in the senior policy – such as the payment of the thirteenth and fourteenth pensions. We have allocated over PLN 116 billion for these three tools alone in 2019-2022, said Marlena Maląg, Minister of Family and Social Policy.
- In 2023, the lowest old-age pension, disability pension, survivor’s pension and social pension will increase to PLN 1,588.44 from PLN 1,338.44.
- The guarantee of an amount not lower than PLN 250 will apply to pensioners who have worked for at least 20 years – in the case of women and 25 years – in the case of men, entitling them to the payment of the lowest pension guaranteed by the state.
- The lowest pension for partial incapacity for work will increase to PLN 1,191.33 from PLN 1,003.83 in 2022.
- The indexation amount in the case of disability pensions for partial incapacity for work and group III disability pension will not be less than PLN 187.50, and for persons who receive a partial old-age pension, the indexation cannot be lower than PLN 125.
- The indexation will also apply to old-age and disability pensions for individual farmers, uniformed services, bridging pensions, teacher compensation benefits and supplementary parental benefits.
