Some pensioners do not even realize that they can apply to the Social Insurance Institution for a recalculation of their pension. Thanks to this, it often turns out that their benefit will be paid in a much higher amount than before. Who does this apply to and when do you need to go to ZUS? We give you a hint.

Pensioners who started receiving benefits at the age of 60 and are members of the Open Pension Fund can expect their pension to be recalculated. This will happen when they turn 65 and they will then receive the amount as if they had worked an additional 5 years.

Higher pension for these women. Not everyone has to submit an application

However, not everyone has to submit an application to ZUS to have their pension recalculated. Women who have been granted pension rights since October 1, 2017 do not have to complete any formalities. However, if this happened before October 1, 2017, it will be necessary to submit. It is worth remembering that these situations apply only to pensioners born between April 1 and September 30, 1957. Women who receive both a survivor’s pension from a deceased spouse and a periodic capital pension should also submit the necessary documents to ZUS.
