300 plus for widows and widowers. What would the granting of the benefit look like?
The new benefit, i.e. 300 plus would go to widows and widowers who meet the appropriate condition. The idea for such help came from an anonymous author in the form of a citizens’ petition. He shared his content.
After the death of a spouse, people have to deal with financial difficulties to a greater extent, because they live on only one pension (purchase of medicines, rehabilitation and others).
As indicated in the citizens’ initiative, seniors, after losing their spouse, are in a difficult financial situation, because from now on they live on only one benefit. Thus, the idea of introducing the so-called 300 plus for widows and widowers. The monthly supplement to the pension would go to people whose marriage period was at least 45 years.
Will 300 plus for widows and widowers be introduced? This news may disappoint seniors
According to Fakt, a meeting of the Senate committee on the above petition was held, where Zbigniew Wasiak from the family ministry was to point out that the new addition “would violate the rules”. – In the current regulations, we have a care allowance and a supplement for complete orphans, both of which are insurance benefits. There is no room for preferences in the pension system. The introduction of new pension supplements for selected insurance groups would lead to a violation of the rule, because they would not be covered by the premium, the daily quotes. The new benefit would be unfair to other widows and widowers who have not reached the seniority indicated in the petition, as well as single seniors.
