According to the amendment, the right to the benefit will be granted to all children and teenagers up to 18 years of age, including only children, regardless of family income. family income.

The right to the benefit will also be granted to children placed in care and educational institutions.

- 500 plus for each child is a pro-social, solidarity-based programme; it is a programme that in its new version will confirm our thesis that entrepreneurial Poland and solidarity-based Poland do not have to be contradictory, that solidarity-based Poland and entrepreneurial Poland are one Poland. Programs such as this one build a chance for development of our homeland, so I am very glad that this program is gaining acceptance of the entire opposition," Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki argued during a parliamentary debate.

The justification to the Act reads that family policy is one of the most important areas of activity of the current Government. The Family 500 plus program, which entered into force on April 1, 2016, is the first program since the political transformation that so clearly emphasizes the need for investment in the family, which provides real support for it.

The 500 plus family has completely changed the outlook on state support for families and has become a reference point in the debate on family policy. Thanks to the program and billions in cash transfers to families, we have opened development prospects for people who were previously marginalized. We have restored their dignity. Support for families through family policy instruments is an investment in human capital, on which the condition of the state to a large extent depends.
