The dispute over social security contributions for non-nationals is back. This time it is about refugees

The Social Insurance Institution’s (ZUS) take on Article 5(2) of the Social Insurance System Act should be regarded as reprehensible. The way ZUS acts flies in the face of the rule of law where lower-level authorities take into account the positions of higher-level authorities in their decision-making. Meanwhile, despite a well-established line of Supreme Court decisions which has been continued for over 15 years, ZUS ventures the opinion contrary to this line. It is also contrary to the best interest of citizens and entrepreneurs who need to take on the burden of appealing against ZUS’s decisions and going through the entire court proceedings to obtain a decision compliant with the court decisions. – Łukasz Chruściel comments for Dziennik Gazeta Prawna.
