Support for Families
A new Polish benefit, introduced on November 1, 2024, provides 1,000 PLN per month to eligible parents and guardians. This initiative aims to financially support individuals who cannot access maternity leave benefits, such as unemployed persons, students, or those employed under civil contracts.

The benefit is available to parents, legal guardians, and foster families caring for young children. Applicants must submit a request within three months of the child’s birth or adoption. Required documents include a birth certificate and a declaration of ineligibility for maternity benefits. Applications can be filed at municipal offices or social services.
Key Features
The 1,000 PLN is a tax-free, net amount, unaffected by income level. It supports families for up to 71 weeks, depending on the number of children. This policy provides critical financial aid during early parenthood.
