Social Security Court dismisses pension overpayment claim when recipient knew of suspension grounds but continued receiving benefits.
Synthèse Legislator
Généré par l'IAThe Supreme Court dismissed the pensioner's cassation appeal regarding an overpaid pension amounting to nearly 19,000 PLN. The court found that the pension was improperly received because the recipient was aware of the suspension conditions due to continued employment but failed to report this fact to the Social Security Institution. Consequently, the court ruled that the obligation to return the benefits arises from the recipient's knowledge of the suspension grounds, not from the institution's administrative error in paying the funds.
