Poland (PL)
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court dismissed the cassation appeal against a decision suspending a farmer's pension due to residence in the USA. The applicant argued that international agreements between Poland and the US regarding benefit transfer should have been considered, but the lower courts incorrectly refused to transfer payments abroad. The court ruled that the right to benefits is not suspended by foreign residence and that the lack of a specialized foreign office within the farmer's insurance fund does not justify suspension.
