Poland will cancel a number of payments for Ukrainians: details.

Changes in the social support system for Ukrainian refugees in Poland

Already this autumn, Ukrainian refugees in Poland are facing changes in the social support system. The Polish government has decided to cancel certain types of financial aid previously provided to Ukrainian citizens who arrived in the country because of the war.

Among the key changes are the cancellation of subsidies for kindergartens and nurseries, and the termination of the "Family Care Capital", previously provided up to 12,000 zlotys for the second and subsequent children in the family. New support programs such as "Active Parents at Work" and "Active Homes" will also not apply to Ukrainian refugees.

These changes could seriously affect the financial situation of Ukrainian families with young children living in Poland. Many relied on this support to cover the costs of childcare and education.

However, it should be noted that some types of aid remain available to Ukrainians. For example, the "500+" program (child support) still applies to those who have the relevant status in Poland, such as PESEL number or temporary protection.

Ukrainian citizens in Poland should regularly update their documents and keep track of changes in legislation. They are also advised to seek help from non-governmental organizations and foundations specializing in refugee support, and to use other available forms of assistance, including medical insurance and educational programs.

Poland is also introducing new child payments of up to 1,900 zlotys per month.
