The “Good Start” Programme according to the new rules

15.06.2021

Today, i.e. on 15 June the Council of Ministers adopted a draft regulation of the Ministry of Family and Social Policy amending the rules for the call for applications to the “Good Start” programme for the 2021/2022 schoolyear.

Dobry Start na nowych zasadach

What is changed?

The applications will only be submitted electronically and the Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) will handle the fully automated process. It is worth stressed that for parents, who have so far submitted applications for the benefit through electronic banking (the most popular form), PUE ZUS and the Empatia system, the change will be invisible because from their perspective the submission of applications will take place exactly the same way.

The proposed changes will result in a substantial reduction in the costs of service and assume that they will be maintained at the level of 0.1% of the amount allocated for payment of benefits. It is estimated that in the period 2021-2031, the total costs of service will amount to about PLN 15 million, which means savings for the state budget at the level of about PLN 488 million.

How to submit the application as from 1 July?

As in previous years, all parents can submit online applications as from 1 July: 

  • through the Emp@tia information and service portal
  • through electronic banking
  • through the PUE ZUS portal.

 

Applications must be submitted by 30 November.
