- reaching the age of 60 (reaching the retirement age for women);
- having an established right to receive a pension under the new rules;
- having a sum of funds saved on the sub-account at the Social Insurance Institution, which on the last day of the month before the month in which the woman was granted a pension under the new rules is equal to or higher than twenty times the care allowance (in 2023 it is PLN 5,128.80). If the amount is lower, the benefit will not be due.
The periodic benefit is paid from the Social Insurance Fund (FUS). They are paid together with the basic pension. The right to a periodic capital pension is due until the day preceding the day on which the woman turns 65.
