This year, benefits have increased by 7 percent, more than originally assumed. In April, an additional thirteenth pension will go to seniors, and earlier, tax-free pensions were also introduced for most pensioners.
Indexation is a term that refers to the increase in the monetary value of a benefit in order to keep its real value unchanged.
Nationwide, more than 8.5 million people will receive higher benefits. The indexation of the old age or disability pension did not require any additional applications. The higher the benefits collected from ZUS, the more money will remain in the wallet.
