The social insurance institution reminds pensioners that it is possible to increase the amount of 13 and 14. Just submit the EPD-21 application.
By submitting the EPD-21 application, any pensioner whose total annual benefit is not higher than the tax-free amount (PLN 30,000), not only receives more money when paying a monthly pension, but also 13 and 14. The The application makes it possible not to take advance for income tax, which increases the amount paid “to hand”.
The application must be submitted by persons who receive a low pension and without other income. It is important that in the following years it applies to the authorized instruction on its withdrawal. EPD-21 statements may not be submitted by pensioners who have different income or work. Failure to collect a advance payment for tax will probably lead to the need to pay a considerable amount when setting the pit form.
We want to remind you that the 13th and 14th pension are extra annual benefits for pensioners. They are paid ex officio. “Thirteen” is guaranteed by law for all pensioners.
In turn, the fourteenth pension is the same as the minimum pension, after March PLN 1780.96 gross. Everyone whose basic pension is no more than PLN 2,900 gross receives such an amount. However, if it is higher, the “Zloty for PLN” will be used. It is worth remembering that the “fourteen” will not be paid if the amount is lower than PLN 50.

Pensions and pensions will increase by 5.5 percent in 2025. The central statistical office presented the latest information about benefits on 11 February.

According to Gus estimates, the average annual inflation for pensioners households in 2024 was 3.6 percent and the value of real wage growth in 2024 indicates 9.5 percent.
