Support benefits from ZUS. How to apply? Two conclusions
“We would like to remind you that ZUS is in the final stage of applying for benefits. First, you must submit a Disability Assessment (WZON) application to the provincial team for a decision that determines the level of support you need. In this decision, WZON determines the level of need for support on a scale of 0 to 100 points. Only when this WZON decision becomes final should you submit an application to ZUS for a support benefit,” the ZUS representative emphasized.
He reminded that if a disabled person first submits an application to ZUS for a support benefit and does not have a decision issued by WZON to determine the level of support need, ZUS, in accordance with the regulation, will leave such an application without. review
Therefore, it is very important to follow the correct order of submission of applications. This means first an application to the Provincial Disability Assessment Group (WZON) to issue a decision, which will determine the number of points that determine the level of need for support, and then an application to ZUS for a support allowance based on the decision of WZON – emphasized the representative of ZUS.
Support benefits will be awarded by ZUS to individuals who have been awarded the required qualifying number of Support Points by WZON as of the date of award of points by WZON. The application must be submitted to ZUS within 3 months of WZON's decision becoming final. If a person with a disability applies to us within these 3 months, we will provide support benefits from the day of compensation from the day WZON qualifying points are awarded – emphasizes the representative of ZUS.
Auxiliary provision. Points are important
The support allowance will be introduced in three stages. People with 87-100 points can apply from 2024, with 78-86 points – from 2025, and people with 70-77 points – from 2026.
The situation is different for people who have at least 70 points, because they can receive support benefits from 2024, provided that after 31 December 2023 the carers of these people will have Carer's Allowance, Special Carer's Allowance. or a guardian's allowance paid by the commune authority.
The benefit of the support will be from 40 to 220 percent. Current amount of social pension (currently PLN 1588.44). This means that the amounts at the beginning range from about PLN 635 to almost PLN 3,495, depending on the level of support needed:
– 95-100 points – 220 percent social pension,
– 90-94 points – 180 percent social pension,
– 85-89 points – 120 percent social pension,
– 80-84 points – 80 percent social pension,
– 75-79 points – 60 percent social pension,
– 70-74 points – 40 percent social pension.
People who have the status of a disabled person can apply for the support benefit in the form of confirmation: disability certificate and its degree issued by the disability assessment groups; Decision on inability to work or inability to live independently, decision issued by ZUS doctors; Disability certificate issued by the Disability and Employment Medical Commissions before September 1997.
WZON issues a decision that determines the level of need for support for the same period for which the person has a disability certificate, but not more than 7 years. After the decision of WZON, the authorized person must submit an application for payment of benefits to ZUS. This will be possible only electronically: through the ZUS electronic services platform (PUE), Emp@tia portal or electronic banking.
An application to ZUS can also be submitted by a lawyer. An application for a support allowance does not require a decision issued by WZON. ZUS will receive all the data contained in it from the National Electronic Disability Assessment Monitoring System (EKSMoN). This system is managed by the Ministry of Family and Social Policy.
ZUS will pay the support benefits by transfer to the Polish bank account number provided by the disabled person in the application. He will receive them along with other benefits, for example, a social pension or 500 plus for dependents. The maintenance allowance will be payable regardless of income, is exempt from income tax and cannot be seized by the executor.
