The 13th and 14th pensions are undoubtedly the most popular and widely known supplements. In 2025 both were PLN 1878.91 gross, which is the same as the lowest pension benefit. However, it is worth to know that in the case of a pension higher than PLN 2900 per period "fourteen" is reduced according to the rule of "gold for gold". This means that any gold that exceeds PLN 2900 is deducted.
Another benefit that seniors can number on after 65 is the care allowance. The condition is to receive a decision from the ZUS doctor about incapacity for work and independent existence. The money automatically (without an application and a ruling) is granted to persons aged 75. presently the amount of the supplement is PLN 348.31.

It only serves certain groups of persons, in particular: combatants, victims of war repression and post-war periods, widows and widows after combatants and victims of repression (if they collect a pension from their deceased spouse). The list must besides include a cash benefit for erstwhile forced soldiers.
