The Good Start program is a support to help parents prepare children for the new school year. ZUS, however, reminds you of the need to submit an application on time to use this form of assistance.
The program includes every child studying at school between 7 and 20 years old. In the case of children with disabilities, the upper age limit is 24 years. Importantly, this age is counted annually.
An application for payment of the benefit may be submitted by:
– parents or legal guardians of the child;
– one of the parents, if the child does not live with both parents;
– both parents, if they exercise alternating care (in this case each of them will receive PLN 150);
– Adult students who are not supporting their parents.
The benefit may also be granted to independent persons who have left the foster care.
Good start. How to submit an application?
ZUS emphasizes that applications can only be submitted electronically. There are four platforms to choose from:
- MZUS mobile application
- ZUS electronic service platform portal (PUE)
- Emp@tia portal
- Electronic banking systems
Applications can be submitted from July 1. The application includes a bank account number, e-mail address, telephone number and child and school data to which he attends or will attend.
300 plus. When can you expect payments under the good start program?
ZUS ensures that if the application is correctly completed and submitted by the end of August, the benefit will be paid by September 30 at the latest. Information on granting the benefit will be available in the inbox on the PUE ZUS profile.
The good start benefit is exempt from taxation and is not subject to bailiff enforcement – these funds cannot be occupied by the bailiff.
