Neither I nor the finance minister does not hide that it is a budgetary effort, but the same effort, the budget is to finance other expenses – she added.
“We share with the Polish families”
” Family 500 + “
– But we believe that it is worth the effort taken. The fruits of economic growth – the transition period – the first time to share with Polish families. We also have a good situation on the labor market. Even after the adjustment of economic growth is still good situation – we can afford it, to the Polish State said that they are important Polish family and fertility Poles. As Law and Justice will rule, this program will be financed, and what then, is the question to the voters – stressed Rafalska.

But definitely we not accept an uncritical attitude. It is wide, large program and check it in my life, in practice – she said. In this context, she mentioned provisions of the Act introducing the program, which give the possibility – in exceptional cases – to exchange cash benefit to aid in kind.

Probably every family policy is part of dysfunctional families for various reasons, including addictions to alcohol, drugs, gambling or other addictions too. Our help is addressed to the family and assume that the family knows best what it allocate. If the family is in some difficulty, please help her to change the his situation and not the discredit and eliminate from participation in the program – says the minister.
According to her, publicizing cases of improper use of the 500 plus media can cause “further discredit these families.” – Do not put children from difficult backgrounds – which sometimes are aware of otherness – in a situation that you feel even more excluded, can stigmatized, perhaps marked – she said.

She added that 500 plus can significantly help in the equipment children to school.
The Minister said that after the release of 178 thousand. the decision will be known exactly how many children will benefit from the 500 plus. – It seems that children who benefit from this provision, it will be a little bit more than we expected. But little more than provide for our forecasts, which proved to be very reliable and close to the real state – she said.
