Summary

Poland has a well-developed social security system that covers the risks of employees, self-employed persons and their family members. Poland has two special insurance schemes: the Social Insurance Institution (Zakład Ubezpieczeń Społecznych - ZUS) and the Agricultural Social Security Fund (Kasa Rolniczego Ubezpieczenia Społecznego - KRUS). ZUS is the Polish state organization responsible for social insurance benefits of employees, and KRUS is the Polish social insurance fund that provides benefits to farmers. ZUS is supervised by the Ministry of Labor and Social Policy and is responsible for sickness and maternity cash benefits, as well as pensions for retirement, invalidity, survivors, accidents at work and occupational diseases.

ZUS is also responsible for the collection of social insurance and health insurance contributions, as well as contributions to the Labor Fund and the Fund of Guaranteed Employee Benefits.
