800 plus to everyone at risk? A spokesman for the government comments

During the Sunday celebration of the 130th anniversary of the People’s Movement, the president of the Polish People’s Party (PSL), Deputy Prime Minister Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz spoke about the limitation of the 800 plus program only for the workers.

– Appreciating work, hard -working people, paying taxes, this should be a strategy for us, for Poland, for the Polish government number one. Keep social support for those who need it, but 800 plus only for the working people -said Kosiniak-Kamysz.

Government spokesman with a limitation of 800 plus

Government spokesman Adam Szłapka referred to the deputy prime minister today in Polsat News. – There are no changes to change, at this stage, in 800 plus – Szłapka said in the program “Graffiti”.

A government spokesman emphasized that it is possible – announced in the presidential campaign – a limitation of 800 plus payments for foreigners, which in practice would mean that only those who work will receive the benefit.

Szłapka pointed out that the issue of payments of 800 plus only for working Poles was raised by the Polish People’s Party earlier. If the group makes a proposal in this respect, then – as the spokesman emphasized – possibly as a parliamentary project.

– The government does not plan 800 plus and limit it only to working people – He summed up the skeleton.

According to the government spokesman, restrictions on the 800 plus program could result in the fact that “it will not be cheaper at all and the program will be much more complicated”.

In April next year, 10 years will pass since the introduction of 500 plus. At the beginning of 2024, the benefit was valorized to PLN 800. For the first three years, it was only entitled to the second and subsequent children (in the case of the first income criterion), in 2019 they were also expanded to the first child. The work criterion did not apply.
