Marriage after 1999 does not suspend widow's miner's pension under new social security law.
Legislator summary
AI generatedThe Supreme Court of Poland allowed the insured woman's appeal against the suspension of her miner's family pension due to remarriage after January 1, 1999. The lower courts had initially suspended the pension, but the Supreme Court found that the new Social Security Law does not list remarriage as a statutory condition for terminating such pensions. Consequently, the court ruled that the right to the pension established under the old mining law remains valid and cannot be withheld based on the date of remarriage.
