BREAKING: Polish Government Poised to Confirm September Payout for 2025 “Fourteenth Pension”
Warsaw, Poland – The Polish government is expected to finalize the payment schedule for the “fourteenth pension” in 2025, with current legislative projections indicating a September disbursement.While the final confirmation hinges on a forthcoming Council of Ministers regulation, the framework for this additional annual benefit is already established.the amount of this year’s fourteenth pension is not yet definitively known, as the government has not yet conducted legislative work to increase it.

According to the legislative project, which is nearing completion, the payment is anticipated to occur in September 2025.If the regulation is formally adopted by the government, eligible beneficiaries will receive the fourteenth pension alongside their regular September retirement or disability payments.
