Australia and Poland have recently signed a social security agreement to improve the lives of their citizens who are working or living between the two countries. This agreement is essential for people who want to work or retire in either of the countries and ensures that they are provided with the necessary social security benefits.
Under the agreement, citizens of Australia and Poland who work in either of the countries will now be able to transfer their social security entitlements to their home country. This means that if an Australian citizen works in Poland, they will be able to transfer their social security entitlements back to Australia if they move there.
Similarly, Polish citizens who work in Australia will be able to transfer their social security entitlements to Poland if they move back. This will ensure that citizens of both countries are not disadvantaged due to their location, and are still able to access social security benefits they are entitled to.
The agreement applies to a range of social security payments, such as pensions, sickness benefits, disability benefits, and family benefits. It also includes provisions for people who have already worked in the other country but have not yet reached the age of retirement. This means that citizens of both countries who have worked in the other country and are entitled to social security benefits will still receive them, even if they have not reached the retirement age.
The social security agreement between Australia and Poland will improve the lives of citizens who have moved between the two countries, making it easier for them to access social security benefits. The agreement also recognizes the contribution that migrants make to their respective countries and ensures that they are not at a disadvantage due to their migration status.
Overall, this agreement represents a significant step forward in promoting cooperation and goodwill between Australia and Poland. It is a testament to the strong relationship between the two countries and their commitment to ensuring the welfare of their citizens.
