The 500+ household Programme, which we introduced in 2016, is direct financial assistance for families that rise children. As of July 2019, the benefit is granted to all kid until the age of 18, without an income criterion. Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki in kindergarten in Żabej Wola announced the launch of consultations on 800+. We want each kid to receive PLN 800 from 1 January 2024 all period until the age of 18, alternatively of PLN 500. It's money you can usage for extra classes, camp or a bike for your child. The head of the Polish government besides wished to all children for their holiday.

On Children's Day, I would first of all like to want all children to have dreams to fulfill their dreams so that they are not afraid to fulfill their dreams. I would like to want my parents to aid their children fulfill their dreams and to do everything to make childhood happy, to make youth full on the 1 hand, but on the another hand, more and more fulfilled dreams," said Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki.

We increase direct financial support

Prime Minister announced to launch a consultation on the law, which increases the provision of “Family 500+” to PLN 800 per month. Public consultation allows public opinion to be taken into account in the legislative process. This means that everyone can read the draft legislative act and submit their comments.

An increase of PLN 500+ to PLN 800 per period would not be possible if public finances were not repaired. In 2022, budget gross was 80% higher than in 2016. It is thanks, among another things, to the fight against VAT mafias, that we have funds for investment and social programmes specified as the 500+ family. With the increased state budget, we can rise this benefit from 1 January 2024.

– We transfer funds from a sealed budget and we implement our large programme. A large program to support work life and reconcile work life with household life for all parents, especially for women, of course. They bear the biggest, immense burden associated with raising children, and I would besides like to thank them again from this place – the head of the Polish government said.

800 zł for each child

So far 500+, 800+ will be eligible for all kid until the age of 18:

the parent or father;
the actual guardian of the kid (the individual actually caring for the kid who applied to the court for adoption) if the kid resides together and remains dependent on the parent or the father/actual guardian;
the child's legal guardian;
the manager of the welfare home.

There will be no change in the conditions for receiving support or in the way in which it is requested. Read more about “Family 500+”.
