CHANGES IN BENEFITS FOR UKRAINIAN REFUGEES

As of September 1, 2024, new rules for receiving the 800+ and 300+ benefits for Ukrainian refugees are being introduced.

Here are the key changes:

  • 800+ benefit:
    • Will only be paid to school-age children of Ukrainian refugees who are actually attending a Polish school.
    • Distance learning in Ukrainian schools will not be counted.
  • “Good Start” benefit (300+):
    • The same rules apply as for the 800+ benefit.
  • Benefits for preschoolers and children over 8 years old:
    • Remain unchanged. You can receive benefits regardless of whether your child attends a Polish school.
  • The following payments for Ukrainian refugees are being canceled:
    • Compensation for document photos.
    • Daily payment of 40 zloty per person.
  • Important points:
    • There is a possibility of retaining the 40 zloty payment per person in exceptional cases. To do this, you must conclude an appropriate agreement with the voivode (details are currently unknown).
    • Attending a Polish school becomes mandatory for Ukrainian children. Distance learning in Ukrainian schools will no longer be considered fulfillment of educational requirements.
