14th pension paid every year

The Deputy Prime Minister stressed that from this year, thanks to the government's actions, the 14th pension is a permanent benefit, guaranteed by law. He also announced that, in 2023, it will amount to PLN 2,200. When paying the fourteenth pension to people whose pension is above PLN 2,900, the principle of reducing the amount of benefits received if the income criterion is exceeded applies. This is money that seniors can use according to their needs - for example, for holidays or additional rehabilitation activities.

- This is another step on the part of our government and another step on the part of the state to ensure that the group that may have lost the most due to inflation, namely pensioners, gets full compensation, Deputy Prime Minister Kaczyński explained.

We have lowered the retirement age

- The previous government, against the will of the public, raised the retirement age. Polish women and men were supposed to work much longer. Our government has kept its promise - we have lowered the retirement age to what it was before the adverse changes.

- On that day when it was being raised, I announced from the parliamentary rostrum that if we took over, we would restore the retirement age to what it was before the changes, and we did.
