Recent reviews of asset declarations from Polish politicians have highlighted significant income streams from the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS).

In September 2026, former Warsaw President and current Member of the European Parliament Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz released her 2025 declaration. The documents showed she receives a monthly pension from ZUS exceeding 20,000 PLN, totaling over 243,000 PLN annually, alongside income from her role in the European Parliament. Her declared assets included savings exceeding 2.5 million PLN and various investments.

By October 2026, further reviews of parliamentarians' declarations revealed high ZUS benefits among other officials. Jarosław Kaczyński, leader of the Law and Justice (PiS) party, reported receiving 140,906.97 PLN gross from ZUS over the last calendar year. Additionally, Stanisław Szwed of the Law and Justice party was identified as a top beneficiary, with ZUS payments totaling 258,500 PLN gross over a 12-month period. Szwed attributed his monthly average of approximately 21,500 PLN gross to his long parliamentary career, previous work in hazardous conditions, and delaying retirement until age 69.
