Minimum pensions. The government has a new idea – Polish Radio

It’s about an amendment to the so-called. “Dezubekizacyjnej Act” of 2009. According to the draft maximum benefit for former SB officers who have completed periods of service only in the organs of state security in the years 1944 to 1990 will not be higher than the average benefit in the universal system, ie. Current pension does not exceed 2,131 zł gross, and the maximum pension – 1610 zł gross, that is, the average pension in the ZUS. The survivor’s pension would not exceed 1850 zł gross.

The project is currently in consultations with relevant ministries. – We want this amendment to adopt as soon as possible, to take effect as soon as possible – said Zielinski, adding that the ministry would like to lower pensions SB force as early as next year. Deputy Minister emphasized, however, that it is dependent on, among others, since consideration by the IPN individual cases.

He added – the case of each officer SB, “the path of his career” will be tested by the Institute. – IPN – in accordance with applicable regulations – has four months to analyze documents from the personnel file and to prepare information about the course of service in the organs of state security. We have to reckon with the fact that some cases will be simple, others more complex. That’s all you need to re-establish, for each officer had a different service record – the deputy minister noted.

He stressed that “the part of officials for some time remained at SB full-time jobs, and at other times served in the militia.” – A more difficult issue is the case of those who completed the task SB undercover police officers. The data presented by the IPN will be the basis for a recalculation of pension or disability – he said.

Asked about the ongoing arrangements interdepartmental deputy minister said that he does not believe that these have any significant changes, because “the need to break with the gross injustice is obvious. ” – We conducted a detailed analysis and consultation wewnątrzresortowe. This may occur for example. Postulate address these issues also apply to the military special services PRL, but it remains the responsibility of the Ministry of Defence. This would require the adoption of separate regulations. Our project is an amendment to the Act of 2009. And refers to the scope of the present, what those law, only this time it will be a regulation effective and not illusory – said Zielinski.

He estimated that the weak point of the previous the Act was that decreased to some extent, only pensions and annuities not covered.

– our project is used a simple mechanism – the pensions instead of 0.7 percent. the basis of benefit for each year of service we offer 0.5 per cent., with the proviso that the maximum size of pensions enjoyed by those who were on duty at the security agencies PRL will not be able to be higher than the average amount of pension received by the Poles in the system of social insurance . It can not be that in a free Poland were the secret police, despite the passage of a quarter-century of our sovereignty still receive pensions doubled, and in some cases even several times higher than their victims. Thus defined, the upper limit of benefits will not be related only to the SB officers who were positively verified at the threshold of regained independence – said Zielinski.

He added that the project in September should hit the agenda of the government. – I am convinced that the government will accept it quickly and will refer to the Sejm – he stressed.

Adopted in 2009. On the initiative of the so-called PO. Act dezubekizacyjna lowered retirement approx. 25 thousand. people with special services PRL and nine members of the Military Council of National Salvation (including gen. Wojciech Jaruzelski).

Since the beginning of 2010. Officers service PRL get lower benefits – calculated according to the index of not 2.6 percent . basis of assessment for each year of service for the years 1944-1990 – as before, but 0.7 percent. (Converter universal pensions is 1.3). Adjusting did not include, however, invalidity, which went entitled to part b. The officers, “fleeing” in the way of a reduction in benefits. Moreover, the Act did not apply approx. 2 thousand. Security Service agents whose files are secret so. a proprietary set of IPN. The project envisages the amendment reducing the percentage rate basis for the pension of 0.7 per cent. to 0.5 per cent., while in the case of disability pensions reduce the percentage of the basis pension by 2% for each year of service in the organs of state security. In addition, there will be no possibility for increasing pensions by 15 percent. basis of assessment for disability in connection with the service in the security organs of the communist state.
