Unemployed Ukrainian refugees in Poland will lose their right to government-funded child support starting on February 1, the onet.pl portal reported quoting the Office of Social Insurance. Only parents of children with disabilities, as well as those applying for benefits for a child with Polish citizenship, are exempt. Parents will also need to confirm that the child attends a Polish school or kindergarten. According to the Polish Interior Ministry, about one million Ukrainians live in the republic under a special refugee status. In September, Polish President Karol Nawrocki signed the last extension of this status, while benefits for Ukrainian refugees were restricted.
