The Polish Social Insurance Institution (ZUS) has issued a reminder that the deadline for submitting applications for the '800 plus' benefit for the new payment period 2026/2027 is approaching. The final date to submit the application is midnight on Tuesday, June 30. Parents who miss this deadline will lose their entitlement to payments for June. Most parents and guardians have already submitted their applications, with over 4.2 million applications covering 6.2 million children processed by ZUS. Those who submit after June 30 will receive benefits starting from the month they apply, but without retroactive payment for June.

Applications must be submitted online through specific platforms such as PUE/eZUS, electronic banking, the information service portal, or the mobile app mZUS.
