The situation of seniors in Poland is not easy, so any pension allowances are usually accepted with large enthusiasm. presently this applies primarily to 13th and 14th pensions, which are paid with basic benefits erstwhile a year. The reverse 800 plus for the elder is, however, a completely different proposal. The benefit would be paid to persons authorised all month, depending on the number of children.

800 plus for seniors for raising a child. The thought went to the Parliamentary Committee on Petitions
The reverse 800 plus for seniors is an thought that was proposed as early as 2023, erstwhile the petition on this substance went to the Sejm. "Journal of Legal Newspapers" states that its author is Adam Nycz, a pensioner from Iwonicza-Zdrój. It proposed to supplement the Act of February 11, 2016 on State aid in raising children. A fresh 1 would be the pension allowance for raising children, paid in the amount of PLN 800 for all kid who presently works and pays taxes in Poland. This amount would be due to any parent-emeritus if he raised at least 2 children. In the case of families with 1 child, the petitioner proposed an allowance of PLN 400 for each spouse. The allowance would be granted regardless of income.
The justification for the petition indicated that in the period before the introduction of the "Family 500 plus" programme, many parents received no social assistance due to the very advanced income thresholds in force. Adam Nycz so calculated that as a consequence they were deprived of PLN 172,800 for each adult kid (PLN 800 x 12 months x 18 years).
Generational honesty requires that parents of children who have been raised and educated in Poland, and now work in Poland and pay taxes here receive pension allowances for raising their children from the state budget
- convinces the petitioner. But what are the chances of these changes being implemented?
Will it be 800 plus for seniors? A fresh benefit would be a dense burden on the budget
The Infor portal points out that the proposal presented in the petition was met with a number of objections from experts. In September 2025 the Bureau of Experts and Impact Assessment issued a detailed legal opinion by Dr. Magdalena Szczepańska. 1 of the problems identified was a narrow ellipse of entitled, limited to parents-emeritus. The actual guardians, legal guardians, foster families and others who were actually liable for raising children were omitted. This was not determined how long the allowance would be paid. The origin of problems could besides be the evidence of working and paying taxes in Poland, as this is hard to verify. In addition, there was a possible contradiction with the rule of non-retroactivity. In the end, Dr Magdalena Szczepańska recommended the Sejm Committee on Petitions not to take account of the request.

For now, the draft budget for 2026 does not supply for "return 800 plus" or another forms of compensation for elder citizens. Moreover, the Sejm committee did not take any further action after receiving the opinion of the Bureau of Experts and Impact Assessment.
