Ukrainians in Poland - what benefits and allowances will be provided in August.

Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Poland has opened its borders to Ukrainians who were forced to flee the fighting. For them, a temporary protection program is in place, which includes various types of social and financial assistance.

Ukrainians automatically have the right to legally reside in Poland. They can also access support on par with local residents. Their children have access to social programs. The main types of assistance include:

• 800 zlotys per month (9,207 UAH) for each child under 18 years old.
• 300 zlotys one-Time (3,452 UAH) for school preparation (Dobry start program).
• Financial support for children under one year old - Rodzinny kapitał opiekuńczy.

In addition to financial support, Ukrainians are entitled to free medical care in public hospitals. They can also receive legal assistance - many lawyers and law firms provide it for free or at a discount.

What benefits do Ukrainians have in Poland

Ukrainians have the opportunity to open their own business in Poland under the same conditions as the country's citizens. For example, the Ulga na start benefit allows for the first six months to not pay contributions to ZUS, and thereafter - to use a reduced rate for another two years.

For better integration in the new environment, Poland offers free Polish language courses, professional support, help with job searching, and consultations on starting a business. Thus, Poland creates conditions for Ukrainians to adapt and start a new life with state support.

Due to the start of the war in Ukraine, Poland has opened its borders to Ukrainians seeking refuge from the conflict. The state provides a wide range of assistance, from financial support for children to the ability to open one's own business. This promotes the easier integration of Ukrainians into Polish society and helps them start a new life with the support of Poland.
