Poland’s government is proposing new regulations affecting certain retirees and pensioners who work abroad. The proposed law, numbered UD428, aims to close gaps in the healthcare insurance system by requiring these individuals to report their foreign employment within 14 days of ending such activity. This would allow the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) to determine if they still qualify for mandatory health insurance based on Polish pensions or annuities. The changes include expanded data sharing between the National Health Fund (NFZ) and banks, enabling more accurate tracking of eligibility for health insurance. The bill is expected to be approved by the Council of Ministers in late 2026.
