In Poland, a draft law is being prepared that could restore some social benefits to Ukrainians.

Vice-speaker of the Polish Senate, Magdalena Biejata, stated that Ukrainian refugees in Poland may regain some of the social benefits they recently lost. According to her, Polish politicians are already working on a new draft law.

Following the veto by Polish President Karol Nawrocki on the law intended to regulate further support for Ukrainians, the Senate did not have time to prepare a thorough alternative. The delay in adopting new legislation could have left Ukrainians in a state of legal uncertainty, so the authorities had to agree to compromises. Some of the decisions adopted turned out to be unsuccessful – the most vulnerable Ukrainians lost their payments.

A new draft law, aimed at addressing some of these changes, is being prepared by the Polish political party "Left." Beata, who works in the committee on relations with non-governmental organizations, stated that she has spoken with many of them and promised to do everything possible to ensure that the level of support for Ukrainians does not decrease. In particular, she emphasized the importance of providing assistance to people who cannot work and ensuring their access to medical care.

She also emphasized the economic contribution of Ukrainians: they pay significant taxes in Poland, which, in turn, funds the Polish social system and pensions for elderly people.

Poland has recently gradually revised the special rules for Ukrainians, introduced after the start of the full-scale war. Since February 2026 of this year, Ukrainian citizens with the "UKR" status are required to demonstrate professional activity in order to receive payments of 800; approximately 150 thousand Ukrainians had to resubmit their applications. Since July 1 2026, the same condition applies to the "Dobry Start" payments of 300 zlotys for the 2026/2027 school year. Starting from September 30 2025, adult Ukrainian citizens with temporary protection have had their access to certain medical services restricted – including sanatorium and resort treatment, rehabilitation, dental care, and specific medical programs. Temporary protection in Poland has been extended until March 4 2027. Starting from March 5 2026, new certificates are not issued, and previously issued ones remain valid until that date, provided certain conditions are met.
