Summary

The amendments to the Family Benefits Act make a technical correction in the provision concerning the upper limit of the mother's parental benefit. With the amendment to the Social Welfare Act, the repayment of the loan taken for the purchase of housing is added to the list of housing costs taken into account within the subsistence allowance, which also includes loan interest and mandatory housing insurance payments. The purpose of the change is to support families who have taken out a loan to purchase a home on a similar basis with those families who pay monthly rent for the use of housing, thereby reducing the extent of economic difficulties (including the addition of additional debtors) and avoiding the loss of housing. In addition, the regulation of the data register of social services and benefits is supplemented by adding to it the information about the person applying for and receiving protection for international protection adopted in accordance with the Act on the Granting of International Protection to Foreigners for the assessment of his need for assistance and the data to be processed to offer him assistance and the data on covering the costs specified in the Act on the Granting of International Protection to a Foreigner for a person or family who has received international protection. The provisions on the payment of support for a pensioner living alone will also be improved, by paying the support for a pensioner living alone if the pensioner entitled to the support takes a recipient of temporary protection to live with him. According to the current regulation, a pensioner does not have one in this case the right to support. The law will also be supplemented with a special provision for the reimbursement of costs of processing and disbursement of living allowance to local government units for the year 2022. The amendment to the Act on the Organization of Health Care Services has been drawn up primarily to implement measures related to the mass immigration of refugees and also to ensure the treatment of persons wounded in war.
