Supreme Court dismisses refund obligation when pensioner was not informed of current suspension rules.
Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland overturned lower court rulings that ordered a pensioner to repay overpaid benefits. The court found that while the applicant's income exceeded the threshold, the Social Security Office failed to inform him of the specific 1993 rules governing benefit suspension. Consequently, the court ruled that without proper notification under current regulations, the applicant is not legally obligated to return the funds.
