Amendment to the social insurance system

On 28 August 2026, a draft act amending the Act on the Social Insurance System and certain other acts (draft no. UD462) was entered in the List of Legislative Works. The proposed changes are intended, among other things, to increase the availability of benefits and improve the functioning of ZUS. The draft provides, inter alia, for extending the group of entities entitled to apply for individual ZUS rulings to all contribution remitters, enabling ZUS to issue automated decisions in specified matters, and regulating the rules on the reallocation of contributions.

Adoption of the draft by the Council of Ministers is planned for Q4 2026.
