The article aims to discuss a very important topic, which is the 500+ benefit contained in the Act of 11 February 2016 on the provision of state aid in raising children. The above Act sets out the conditions for acquiring the right to parental benefit and the rules for granting and paying that benefit.
The “Family 500+” program is the financial foundation of family support, which entered into force on April 1, 2016 and contributed to a significant improvement in the financial situation of families, strengthened them and gave due priority. The article also aims to show the irregularity of the service which is 500+. It should be stated that the benefit should be directed directly to children, not to parents who spend money on it, it is not known what things would be a much better solution. I mean access to free public transport, free school meals, free textbooks and the entire school layette.
