Supreme Court allows pensioner to recalculate pension base from 1989-1992 after quitting work.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned a lower court decision and Social Insurance Office ruling that denied a pensioner the right to recalculate their pension base. The applicant had established pension rights but did not receive payments while working full-time, later requesting a recalculation based on earnings from 1989 to 1992. The court ruled that the applicant was entitled to choose these specific years for the calculation because they had not yet received the benefit when they ceased employment.
