On September 10, the Sejm talked against the conclusion of rejection at first reading a project about helping Ukrainian citizens. Confederations and confederation of the Polish Crown submitted applications in this matter.
The project was developed after the end of August, President Karol Nawrocki announced that he did not sign the amendment to the Act on the aid of Ukrainian citizens. His decision was motivated by, among others The fact that the 800 plus benefit should only be given to Ukrainians who work in Poland.
The designed regulation seals the system of obtaining benefits for the family by foreigners. The right to these benefits will be associated with professional activity and the education of children at a Polish school, with the exceptions to, for example, people with disabilities. In addition, the right to benefits will be related to foreigners obtaining at least 50 percent. minimum remuneration for work, which means that in 2025 it will be PLN 2333 gross.
ZUS will check every month if foreigners were professionally active. If the foreigner was not active in a given month, the benefit will be suspended and the transfer will not be sent. ZUS will also verify in the register of the Chief Commander of the Border Guard, or a given foreigner has not left Poland.
To allow better identification of foreigners applying for benefits and their children, the obligation to have a PESEL number will be introduced. When broadcasting PESEL, children's stay in Poland will also be verified.
The new regulations also provide for the integration of databases of various institutions, which is to allow more effective monitoring of the rights of foreigners and eliminate attempts to extort benefits.
Restrictions on the possibility of using healthcare services by adult citizens of Ukraine will also be introduced. It comes, among others for health programs, healing rehabilitation, dental treatment or drug programs.
According to the proposal, the existing provisions regarding the legality of the stay of Ukrainian citizens who escaped from the war will be extended until March 4, 2026. (PAP)
