On Tuesday in the Ministry and in all provinces were launched hotlines on the program 500 plus – said the head of MRPiPS Elizabeth Rafalska. She added that after the completion of training for local government, the leadership of the Ministry is planning further meetings with local government.
To start the “Family plus 500″ remained a month; in local government, which will provide the benefits of education, intensive preparation.
“We’re talking, are training and consultation, but governments do not lack experience. March 7 run our training and start summarizing the action involving the management of the ministry” – announced Rafalska in an interview with PAP. She explained that, as was the case with the public consultation a draft law introducing a program of 500 plus, she and her deputy again overeating all provinces, will meet with governors and together with the local government will monitor the ongoing preparations.
She pointed out that many local governments in a very creative way to meet the needs of residents, informing them about the rules of the program and preparing the points for submitting applications for the provision of education, eg. In supermarkets or nurseries and kindergartens.
When asked whether or not afraid of the flood of applications April 1, assessed that to a large extent, it depends on what will be the information campaign of local governments. “Opportunities discharge queues at the start of the program is really a lot of, I think, that are endless and to the greatest extent depend on the ingenuity, efficiency and organizational skills of local governments,” – she added Rafalska.
In her opinion, local authorities should explain – MRPiPS also is doing and will do – that the first applications can be submitted within three months and will not lose a penny, because the benefit will be paid from the compensation. Then – as noted – those who value their time and can wait for the money, you may not be submitted in the applications in the first or second week – they can do it at the end of April or even early May or June.
Local authorities often raise concerns about the operation of computer programs and technological issues. “There is always a fear, for that matter. We can not hide that this will be a serious test and a load, which has not been, so any concerns exist, but it is full mobilization of all parties to the system’s functions” – assured the head MRPiPS.
It is planned that applications for the provision of program 500 plus can be it was also submitted via electronic banking. “I still underway and working meetings with the banks. Intensively cooperate with the Minister of digitization Anna Streżyńska” – she said. It is not known yet which banks join the program, but – as provided Rafalska – the offer was addressed to absolutely everyone.
“Today is March 1, so there is still a month to prepare. I think that such intensive information campaign – where we make requests, they look like communications channels, etc. – Should begin in mid-March,” – she said.
She pointed out that on Tuesday move hotlines MRPiPS and regional – in each province. “Yesterday was a meeting the Minister Mariusz Blaszczak of governors, I’m in it I took part, I was talking about the coordination of work on the program of 500 plus, I know that today there are also run the lines at the province and that each of the provincial governors runs an information campaign,” – she said.
hotline numbers can be found on the website of the Ministry: http://www.mpips.gov.pl/aktualnosci-wszystkie/rodzina-500-plus/art,7723,start-programu-rodzina-500-plus-juz-za-miesiac.html.
She said that wherever a single government sees any problems, the governor of service they are able to additionally train or help in other ways. “The financial resources to run the program, or 20 percent. Funds to support this task, were the provincial governors instantly transmitted. In those cases where the amount was more than 100 thousand. Zł and required the approval of the Minister of Finance, would obtain this consent in one day” – she said.
Asked about further government action in favor of families, he announced the creation of a horizontal, inter-policy. “We’ll wait until the program will be running 500 plus and we will build a strategy for family policy – a horizontal program, which will be built in cooperation with other ministries, it will not only program the Minister of the family” – she explained. She stressed that the important elements need to be there: housing policy – proposals addressed to young families; health policy – maternity care, small child, school medicine, but also what is related to procreation, that is, eg. a national program for the treatment of infertility; education, development of institutions caring for a small child.
In her opinion, this will require a longer work and cooperation of many communities, ministries and experts, NGOs, etc.
“The preparation of such a project is in my opinion the work for a year” – said Rafalska.
She emphasized the fact that all the previous pro-social activities are still carried out, eg. The development of institutional forms of care for children or the senior politician.
pointed in this context that during the discussion about the 500 plus program highlighted an important element of the demographic crisis associated with galloping already aging of the Polish population. “It would be irresponsible to withdraw from any of the good practices in this field. We are thinking of a strong and comprehensive policy of the senior and this is done” – declared Rafalska. (PAP)
