28.01. Warsaw (PAP / PAP Legislation) - Standing Committee of the Council of Ministers adopted a draft law introducing the "family 500 plus". The head of MRPiPS Elizabeth Rafalska ensured that key elements of the project have not been changed. The opposition believes that because the Ministry of Finance for the project indicate that the government "does not know how to count money."

"Rozstrzygnęliśmy all comments submitted to the project. The funds for this program are protected," - said at a press conference - said the head of the Standing Committee Henryk Kowalczyk press conference on Thursday. He also expressed hope that the government will examine a proposal at its next meeting.

Earlier on Thursday the government published Legislative Centre of attention of the Ministry of Finance, in which it is written that the ministry can not give a positive opinion of the bill, and the main reason is "a significant increase in state budget expenditure". The impact assessment (RIA) project planned expenditure amounts to 17.272 billion zł, while the budget for 2016. Planned funding of EUR 17.055 billion zł.

Kowalczyk asked about the difference, he said: "I would now indicate where the error occurred, but it really is a bug little in the calculation has no impact on the law. This amount is a fraction of the entire program. In fact, we can not really know how many people will appear. These are people in different places, with different incomes. Some of these wealthier said she does not request ".

The finance minister Paul Szałamacha regard to the opinion of its ministry said that "the natural order of things is that if a profound social adjustment, the ministry consists of attention". "I am such comments consisted from the outset, ensuring optimal shape solution," - he added.

"During the Standing Committee of the following discussion, some remarks have been accepted, some rejected (...), including comments on the commission, exchange of personal data and other detailed technical issues that were moving there" - said the head MF.

Rafalska assured that the stage of public consultation arrangements and the key elements of the project have not been altered in any way. She said that was maintained income threshold for the first child - at the level of 800 zł and 1200 zł - when you have a child with a disability; for the second and each subsequent child benefit will be paid no income criterion reach the age of 18 years.

She recalled that at an earlier stage introduced provisions for foster families - both related and unrelated will receive a similar benefit.

She stressed that a compromise was reached ws. the financing of this task by local governments, or commission them for organizing payments. "In 2016,., In the first year of organizing these payments, commission 2 per cent in 2017. In subsequent years - the commission will be 1.5 per cent. It is, in my opinion, really good financing on assignment. We must remember, that provision is relatively high, and the vast majority of people will be entitled without checking their income, and so the complexity of this procedure is not high, "- she noted.

Rafalska also informed that the withdrawals from the "Family 500 plus" can move in April; However, each municipality will have up to three months to issue this benefit.

"Local authorities will have one month to prepare for withdrawals. If the law is adopted in February, March will be a period of vacatio legis, and payments at the beginning of the next quarter, ie from April. Indeed authorized very much. As a result, This can apply to 30 June, "- she said.

In its opinion, the Ministry of Finance indicated that increased benefits may have a "negative impact on labor supply" that is part of the parents may stop working due to an increase in "cash transfers to families".

The head of MRPiPS indicated that because of the possibility of economic inactivity - relating mainly to women - appeared not only in the observations of the Ministry of Finance. She emphasized that the benefits shall be entitled to 2 million 700 Polish families. "If Shut down the mother of three or four children for two or three years, it becomes a benefit for her and her family '- assessed.

She added that also meets with a completely different argument - that the program can be a factor activating. "Mothers of large families say that with the support, will be able to arrange child care to go to work" - she said. It assessed that it is important that mothers - especially those that have two, three children and more - have the ability to choose and work necessarily in full.

She said that the Act was included in the mechanism, which assumes that after a year of the program the Ministry will be obliged to carry out analyzes of benefits, including the impact of introduction Act.

The opinion of the Ministry of Finance and the subsequent statements by representatives of the government on Thursday they treated opposition politicians. The head of PO caucus Slawomir Neumann estimated that "confusion with the program 500+" is proof that the government does not know how to count money. "We have dealt with the dispute in the government of the Programme 500+, individual ministers can not to count money, add these columns (financial expenditure), and they come out different data. This shows that the PiS is absolutely at odds with the economy, that does not knows the economy "- Neumann said at a briefing.

He expressed the hope that before the government adopts a program is "finally will add to" how much the program will cost and find money in the budget for its implementation. "Add it must be able, it seems that a simple mathematical task, but as you can see for the PiS government and individual ministers, it is too complicated," - he added PO politician.

He added that he expects Prime Minister Beata Szydlo keep their promises. "The Prime Minister Awl said bluntly: every child 500 PLN. We also expect the real costs and transfer those funds to the families. You can not lead to the fact that we will tolerate any electoral fraud," - he added.

In turn, the head of the Modern Ryszard Petru on its conference referred to the fact that the Prime Minister during the election campaign announced that the project of 500 zł per child is ready and the system will be introduced quickly. In his opinion MF "proves how much this program is done hastily." He estimated that the government scored "a series of mishaps substantive," and the question of 500+ program is an example of how it's all what the government wants to do in the economy is "reckless, uncounted, unproven".

He referred also to the Minister Rafalski statement Thursday that "if Shut down the mother of three or four children for two or three years, it becomes a benefit for her and her family." "The only question is this: and who these women continue? And if the situation is such that the husband does not work, then the question is whether they will live for 500 zł for a child?" - Asked Petru.

He also said that Deputy Prime Minister, Minister for Development Mateusz Morawiecki said recently in the media that "would like to make people more wealthy money (from the program 500+) did not receive". Thus, - said the leader of Modern - you should ask the government, why not offer direct income criterion, so that rich people did not receive the benefit.

Also, according to Mr club Kukiz'15, Deputy Speaker of Parliament Stanislaus Tyszki critical opinion MF ws. 500+ program is proof that the government does not know how to count money. "What happened today I read as a triumph of political will over rational economic arguments" - he said. He added that Kukiz'15 is a wise family-friendly policies, which should rely on the fact that 500 gold, should be deducted from taxes and contributions that people are already paying.

By Tyszki government "not fully aware of this, what will be the long-term social and economic impacts" of the program. In his opinion Poland needs economic revolution, which consists in the fact that "the state leaves the people in his pockets the money that they already earn."

PSL leader Wladyslaw Kosiniak- Kamysz estimated that even in the Council of Ministers there are doubts about the program and its impact on the demographic situation. He stressed that family policy requires close cooperation with local governments.

"Family 500 plus" provides for the provision of childcare in the amount of 500 zł per month for the second and subsequent children; For less affluent families - also for the first child. Provision will pay the city council, municipalities, social welfare center or centers to carry out social benefits. The application for this benefit will have to be filed every year in residence.
