Recall that the first evaluation of the program “Family 500 plus “government of Prime Minister Beaty Awl made at the beginning of July this year, after 3 months of its implementation.
this was an important moment of its functioning, because it is designed so that an application for the provision during the first months led to an for the provision of compensation from April 1 this year, the submission of an application after the deadline, although also execute a payment, but without compensation for the previous period.

After just 5 months of operation of the government, Prime Minister Beaty Awl, despite the fact that he received in the fall of PO – PSL draft state budget, which had no financial reserves, but in a short time managed to go on so worked that found the amount of 17 billion zł, to the program to finance during the first 3 quarters of this year.

presenting at the beginning July this year, the program “Family 500 plus,” Labour Minister Elizabeth Rafalska responded to appearing in the media often complaint that dysfunctional families funds from this program are not used for children, but for other purposes, eg. alcohol.
the Minister announced that from April 1, local governments run only 237 cases of the conversion of the cash benefit for benefits in kind, which is only 0.01% in relation to all decisions issued under the program.
it also concluded that in rural areas was liquidated sale in stores so. notebook (very common in recent years), and families with many children not only received stable funding, but regained their dignity.
After the first time in many years, families with many children in urban and rural areas can afford to buy new clothes and shoes children equipment in school supplies, as well as the common trip, although short vacation outside their place of permanent residence.
as you can see also in Europe noticed the positives of the program and hence the reward for the government of Prime Minister Beaty Szydło granted by the European Confederation of Large Families.
