'We are launching consultations on our 800+ Act as the change will serve children. The Law and Justice Government consistently and credibly fulfils its promises. Of course, we want to discuss the whole Act so that the entire legislative path is followed,' Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki said.

The programme rules will not change

The 800+ benefit, as before, will be due for each child, regardless of family income. Apart from its amount, nothing will change. Minister of Family and Social Policy Marlena Maląg informed that the regulations that will increase the amount of thee 500+ benefit will be adopted before the autumn parliamentary elections.

Today we start the legislative path. The programme will be adopted by the election period. The principles of the programme will be the same as before.

The family should have support from the state, and we are implementing this support all the time and will continue to do so,' Marlena Maląg indicated.
