Generosity rewarded.

Poles hosting Ukrainian refugees will be able to count on their State to compensate for the expenses generated by their humanity.

An allowance of 40 zlotys (8 euros) per day and per person accommodated was announced by the Deputy Minister of the Interior, Pawel Szefernaker.

It will be paid at the request of those concerned, a posteriori, in other words at the end of the reception period, which can reach a maximum of two months, he specified during a press conference.

These two months of stay should “allow the Ukrainian citizen to decide what he intends to do in Poland”.

Reimbursement requests, which must include information on the people accommodated, can be submitted from March 16.

The allowance will be retroactive and will relate to the period starting with the arrival of the refugees, added the senior official.

If, at the end of the two months, the Polish family takes in other refugees, they can apply for this allowance again.

A simple digital recording

The Polish local administration must also begin on March 16 the registration of the million and a half Ukrainian refugees to assign them a unique identification number, says Pesel, equivalent to the Social Security number in France.

It is widely used in relations with Polish public institutions, health services, to obtain a telephone number or to access certain banking services.

The refugees will be photographed and will deposit their fingerprints, but their registration will remain digital and will not lead to the establishment of a paper document such as a residence permit, the production of which must comply with strict security criteria.

Pawel Szefernaker called on Ukrainians not to try to register all at once, which would clog up local administrative services.
