The document was supported by 227 deputies, 194 were against, seven more abstained from voting.
The draft law was developed after the Veto President Karol Navrotsky to the law regulating assistance to Ukrainians (social payments and free medical care) during the war with the aggressor country of Russia.
Navrotsky stated that the Rodzina 800+ social initiative guaranteeing a monthly payment of 800 zlotys (approximately 9 thousand UAH) for each child under 18, should only apply to those Ukrainians who take the obligation to work in Poland.
According to the new law that supported the Sejm, the right to these payments will be associated with the professional activities and teaching of children in a Polish school, with the exception of, for example, people with disabilities, Pap emphasized. In addition, the right to payment will be associated with the receipt of at least 50% of the minimum wage (in 2025 this amount will be 2333 zlotys or 26.4 thousand UAH at the NBU rate).
In Poland, they will check monthly whether Ukrainians work, and if not, then the payment of 800+ will be suspended for them. They will also check if the Ukrainian has left Poland.
As PAP wrote, restrictions on the possibility of using health services by adult citizens of Ukraine, including medical rehabilitation, and dental treatment, will introduce in Poland.
The law provides for the extension of the legal status of Ukrainians in Poland until March 4, 2026.
