Poles rushed to receive the restored benefit. Almost 2 million applications per month
For a month now, parents have been able to apply for funds for a layette under the new edition of the “Dobry Start” program. So far, almost 2 million applications for 300 plus have been submitted.
August 1 marked a month since the launch of the latest edition of the “Dobry Start” program. Parents can apply for PLN 300 (hence the common name of the program – 300 plus) for school supplies, i.e. for the purchase of, among others, textbooks, notebooks and all equipment necessary for learning at school.
The money is paid for each child studying at school up to the age of 20, and if he or she has been diagnosed with a disability, up to the age of 24. However, funds are not allocated for children who study in the so-called preschool children, as well as students.
300 plus after a month. Almost 2 million applications
Applications for 300 plus can be submitted from July 1 to November 30 this year. People who submit documents by the end of August will receive the benefit by September 30.
What does the situation look like after a month in terms of the number of submitted applications? The latest information on this matter was provided by the Social Insurance Institution. It turns out that so far almost 2 million applications have been submitted for almost 3 million children. – Nearly 2 million applications for almost 2.9 million children were sent to ZUS. We have already transferred over PLN 500 million to parents’ accounts – we read in the ZUS announcement posted on the X platform.
Last year, ZUS received a total of over 3.3 million applications for 300 plus for almost 4.9 million children. The amount of benefits paid amounted to over PLN 1.4 billion

– Submit a correct application by the end of August and you will receive the money by September 30. As a rule, the earlier the application is received, the sooner we will pay out the money – ZUS advises.
