After the death of your husband or wife, you can apply for a survivor’s pension. If one person is entitled to it, the widow or widower will receive 85% of the deceased’s benefit each month. However, not everyone can apply for money to the Social Insurance Institution. There are cases where some people will not receive even a penny.

The deceased’s immediate family members, i.e. children, parents and spouse, can apply for the deceased’s estate. What conditions must a widow or widower meet to receive a pension from her husband or wife? On the day of death, the couple should remain married. The widow or widower must be at least 50 years old or incapable of work. Alternatively, he or she may raise at least one child, grandchild or sibling entitled to a pension. You can also apply for money if you are over 50 years old and within 5 years of your spouse’s death you have become incapable of working or living independently.
When is your husband’s pension not due? In these cases, ZUS will not pay even a penny
However, there are situations in which the right to a survivor’s pension does not apply. This happens when a marriage is divorced. However, there is an exception. If a widow or widower meets the previously mentioned conditions and is awarded alimony after the deceased, she may apply for a survivor’s pension. However, ZUS will not pay a single zloty if the widow’s or widower’s income exceeds 130% of the average monthly salary. However, if the income is higher than 70% but still less than 130%, the amount of the survivor’s pension will be reduced and it will be paid only partially.
