ZUS, the national social insurance institution of Poland, has announced that beneficiaries of the Polish pension will receive an expected annual raise as of March 1, 2026. This year, the raise is 5.3%, which means that the quarterly payment will increase from 2,139.48 złoty (Polish currency) to 2,273.52 złoty. This is an increase of 134.04 złoty, which, as of February 17, 2026, is equivalent to approximately $38 USD*, resulting in a new quarterly payment for this year of approximately $640 USD*.
Beneficiaries should receive a letter some time in May detailing the increase. We will post a translation of the letter on our Website and publish another news update at that time.
