Will the government increase the social pension? How the benefit has been increased can be seen in the declaration of ownership of Jakub Hartwich, a Toruń councilor. It is clear to see that the benefits more than doubled in the years 2018-2022.
Social pension increase
Radosław Poszwiński pointed out how the social pension increased in 2018-2022. As an example, he presented the property deeds of Jakub Hartwich, a councilor of Toruń.
In the 2018 asset declaration, Hartwich stated that his benefit amounted to PLN 8,012.60. In turn, four years later, in 2022, this amount is PLN 17,410.56. This more than doubles the benefit.
This isn’t a tweet about whether Social Security is small or big, but whether the government is increasing it or not. hitchhike
Poszwinski noted.
Let us remind you that the protesters demand an increase of the social pension to the lowest national salary, which is PLN 3,490 gross. The social pension is indexed annually and has been increased to PLN 1,588.44 gross from 1 March 2023. The demonstrators presented a civil bill on social pensions, implementing their postulate.
The Ministry of Labor and Social Policy has announced that the bill introducing a new support allowance for the disabled has been submitted to the Council of Ministers for discussion. The project also provides the opportunity for informal carers to earn extra money for the nursing allowance. In 2024, people with a significant degree of disability will receive a new benefit to support PLN 3,176.88 gross. At the same time, they retain the right to other benefits, such as a social pension. This means that a disabled person may receive PLN 4,765.32 gross, assuming that the amount of this pension does not change in 2024.
