ZPIZ-2O, which entered into force on 1 January 2026, has introduced over twenty amendments that have taken effect as soon as 1 January 2026. The raising of the retirement age limit, the extension of the reference period for the calculation of the pension base, and an increase in the assessment rate are due to be implemented on 1 January 2028. Unlike with the previous reforms, ZPIZ-1 and ZPIZ-2, where the eligibility conditions began to change one month after the adoption of the Act by the National Assembly and resulted in immediate retirements or registering at the employment office by many of the insured persons, with the present reform the qualifying conditions are not going to change in 2026 and 2027. However, the Institute was not given the possibility of a transitional period for the implementation of the changes introduced by ZPIZ-2O which had an immediate effect. As early as in January 2026, the Institute had paid higher benefits to 130,000 beneficiaries - primarily to those receiving lower pensions or disability insurance benefits - in accordance with the more favourable provisions introduced by ZPIZ-2O.
