To obtain the right to the 800+ parental benefit for the period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025, the application must be submitted to ZUS online by June 30, 2024. However, if we want to maintain the continuity of benefits, we have to hurry.
From January 1, 2024, the amount of the parental benefit under the “Rodzina 800 plus” program is PLN 800 per month per child and is due to each child up to the age of 18, regardless of the family’s income.
The benefit is paid to one parent and only one parent submits an application.
How and where to submit the 800+ application?
The Social Insurance Institution is responsible for accepting applications for parental benefits, examining them, and granting and paying this benefit.
According to the Ministry of Family, Labor and Social Policy, an application for the 800+ parental benefit should be submitted to ZUS only online via one of the following application channels:
- PUE ZUS platform or mZUS mobile application;
- information and service portal Emp@tia on the website empatia.mpips.gov.pl;
- electronic banking.
The procedure for determining the right to parental benefits is conducted by ZUS in electronic form. All information about the application and its handling – status, decision, draft versions, submitted documents, etc. – the parent can find at PUE ZUS.
Until when can you submit an 800+ application?
MRPiPS reports:
If a person submits a correctly completed application with the required documents for the new benefit period from June 1, 2024 to May 31, 2025 by:
- from February 1 to April 30, 2024 – ZUS will consider the application and pay the benefit by June 30, 2024,
- from May 1 to May 31, 2024 – ZUS will consider the application and pay the benefit with compensation for June – by July 31, 2024,
- from June 1 to June 30, 2024 – ZUS will consider the application and pay the benefit with compensation for June – by August 31, 2024,
- from July 1 to July 31, 2024 – ZUS will consider the application and pay the benefit with compensation only from July – by September 30, 2024,
- from August 1 to August 31, 2024 – ZUS will consider the application and pay the benefit, with compensation only from August – by October 31, 2024.
It is therefore important to maintain the continuity of the payment of the parental benefit and to receive the benefit in June 2024, to submit the application by April 30, 2024.
Submitting the application by the end of June 2024 will guarantee that the parental benefit will be paid with compensation from June 1, 2024. However, benefits resulting from applications submitted after June 30, 2024 will be due from the month of submitting the application.
What application for 800+ should be submitted for children born in May 2024?
A special case applies to children born until May 31, 2024 – parents should submit two applications for parental benefit – both for the benefit period 2023/2024, which will end on May 31, 2024, and for the next new period 2024/2025, which will start June 1, 2024
