#800 Plus

Starting January 31, 2026, ZUS suspended 800+ payments to Ukrainians with PESEL UKR status. To receive assistance, parents must now confirm professional activity, children's education, and actual residence in Poland.

August 31 is the last day for Ukrainians in Poland with UKR status issued without a foreign passport to verify their identity at the gmina office. Otherwise, the status will be revoked and 800+ payments will cease.

Poland will not raise the '800 Plus' child benefit for Ukrainian refugees at least until 2028, Deputy Minister Gaewski stated. The amount of 800 zloty has been frozen since 2024.

From September 1, 2026, Ukrainian schoolchildren in Poland will switch to the general education system for foreigners, and temporary benefits will be abolished. To support integration, the "Friendly School" program will continue to operate, and school attendance will remain mandatory for receiving 800+ social assistance. 🇺🇦🇵🇱📚
