It allows them to combine (aggregate) their periods of residence in both countries to meet eligibility requirements.\n*   **Why it matters:** Without this commencement date, the regulations implementing the bilateral agreement would not take effect, potentially leaving people unable to access portable pensions or claim benefits based on their combined work history in both nations."}},"importantCases":[],"_links":{"self":"/api/acts/commencement-agreement-between-australia-and-poland-on-social-security-instrument-2010","history":"/api/acts/commencement-agreement-between-australia-and-poland-on-social-security-instrument-2010/history","analysis":"/api/acts/commencement-agreement-between-australia-and-poland-on-social-security-instrument-2010/analysis","conflicts":"/api/acts/commencement-agreement-between-australia-and-poland-on-social-security-instrument-2010/conflicts","importantCases":"/api/acts/commencement-agreement-between-australia-and-poland-on-social-security-instrument-2010/important-cases","documents":"/api/acts/commencement-agreement-between-australia-and-poland-on-social-security-instrument-2010/documents"}}
