Increase in child benefits in Poland: what is known 

A representative of the Polish Law and Justice party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, recently made a statement on increasing the amount of child benefits under the 500+ programme. In turn, the Prime Minister of the country confirmed that this proposal would be considered at the next meeting. 

From 1 January 2024, Ukrainian families with children living in Poland will receive PLN 300 more. The total amount of assistance will be PLN 800. 

It is noted that despite the increase in the amount of payments, the name of the programme will remain "500+".
