More knowledge about pensions

Today, President of the Republic of Poland, Andrzej Duda, Minister Elżbieta Rafalska and President of NSZZ “Solidarność,” Piotr Duda, inaugurated the social and information campaign “Decent Choice. Restoration of the retirement age.” Its purpose is to make people realise that retirement is a right and not an obligation, and to emphasise the lack of risks associated with lowering the retirement age.

“Today, I invite you to regional meetings, discussions, to the campaign which is to equip Poles with knowledge but also tell them that their pension benefits are absolutely secure.There is no reason to worry about payment of these benefits,” Minister Elżbieta Rafalska said.

The campaign will last until mid-June. Its important partner will be the Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) which is creating the conditions to check what would be the amount of pension benefits in the case of retirement at the required age and what in the case of working longer. “We mean here the retirement advisers, soon there will be 600 of them in the ZUS, and the retirement calculator,” Minister Rafalska explained.
