In accordance with Act on pension benefits from the Social Insurance Fund, training benefit is a benefit payment for those who are entitled to get a pension for incapacity to work and who have lost their ability to conduct their previous line of work but can be retrained. The regulations on training benefit have been full of concerns. The data presented in this study shows that in 2023 the benefit practically ceased to be provided. The reason for this situation may be disadvantages of the legal regulations described in the article, as well as the incorrect practice of applying the law. In the text, a lawyer and a physician discuss not only the applicable legal regulations but also the future of the training benefit, taking into the account how the regulations can potentially be modified. The authors present possible solutions, from changing the scope of the applicable regulation, through introducing another benefit in social insurance instead of the training benefit, to completely abandon this type of pension. This article also shows that occupational activization of people unable to work is a serious and difficult challenge for the legislator, who is responsible for creating an effective system of benefits serving the implementation of the right to social security.
