Training Pension as a Benefit From Social Insurance Supporting the Process of Vocational Rehabilitation Selected Problems and Controversies

Abstract

This article presents and evaluates Polish normative solutions regarding the training pension as a benefit from the general social insurance system, intended to support the implementation of the vocational rehabilitation process. The essence and purpose of vocational rehabilitation in terms of international documents and Polish law were presented, and the role assigned to the training pension in the process of implementation of this rehabilitation was indicated. It also shows the shortcomings of the legal provisions in force in Poland and the adopted organizational and financial solutions, which meant that, contrary to expectations, the role of the indicated cash benefit from social insurance in supporting the implementation of the vocational rehabilitation process is negligible.
