The article no. 70 subsection 3 of the Act on retirement pensions and other pensions from the Social Insurance Fund was questioned by the Constitutional Tribunal. In the judgment given in year 2014 the Constitutional Tribunal pointed out a contradiction between the article mentioned above and the Polish Constitution. The questioned issue concerned the entitlement to the survivorship pension granted solely to the divorced spouse with granted alimony. It is considered that the entitlement to the survivorship pension should also concern those who were paid alimony by the spouse on a voluntary basis.
