The thirteenth pension in 2021 will be lower than everyone assumed. Seniors will get less on their accounts! [7.03.2021]

Thirteenth Pension 2021. When will the extra benefit be paid and who will get it? Despite the pandemic, the government has promised to pay additional benefits to seniors. It turns out, however, that the thirteenth pension will be lower “on hand” than everyone thought. Check why.

The lowest pension in 2021 will increase from PLN 1,200 gross to PLN 1,250.88 gross. It is also important information in the context of receiving the thirteenth pension. This is because it amounts to the minimum pension.

Pensions were indexed in March 2021so this year’s 13th edition will be correspondingly higher.

One might think that the net amounts, ie “hand in hand”, will be the same amounts. It is not so.

The minimum guaranteed net pension will be from March 1 (after indexation) – PLN 1066.30, net amount of the thirteenth pension – PLN 1,022.30. An advance payment is deducted income tax and health premium.

Why is that so, where does this difference come from? We asked the Kuyavian-Pomeranian Social Insurance Institution for explanations. You can read the details in the gallery below.

Krystyna Michałek, the regional ZUS spokesman in Kujawsko-Pomorskie explains: – The payment of the 13th pension does not take into account the amount of the tax reduction [wolnej od podatku – red.] PLN 43.76, as it is used only once a month for the payment of the benefit, explains the press spokeswoman.

Simply put, the tax-free amount can only be deducted from one benefit per month. And it is deducted from the pension, not from the “thirteen”.

Recall that the additional, 13th pension of most beneficiaries will be paid together with pensions for April, with one transfer. To receive it, you must be entitled to an old-age / disability pension as of March 31 and receive this benefit. If his payment is suspended – “thirteen” is not eligible.
