Refunds of ZUS SOCIAL

7 years ago
I've lived in Poland with a residency card for two years, run a business, and am now preparing to LEAVE.

Can anyone tell me with CERTAINTY whether any or all of the SOCIAL SECURITY (RETIREMENT) contributions I have made through ZUS each month is refundable when I leave the country?

I've had conflicting answers to this question in different places. It would be great is somebody actually KNOWS.

What's the PROCEDURE or FORM to fill out for doing this?

BTW - please don't suggest I go to ZUS. Been there. Done that. They have NO IDEA what they're doing. In ANY language.

Thanks -
