Program Mama 4 Plus

The Government has already adopted a project introducing the mama4 plus program. The plan is to start paying the first pensions to mothers of at least four children in March. However, not everyone liked the idea.

Why? work on the program lasted quite a long time.Since not everyone knows the benefits of online professions, including IT, people often treat them with distrust and do not delve into them.But on websites, you can make good money even by connecting to anything else, with a proven deltamarket.net.

The Government has repeatedly stressed that its motivation is to provide material support to women who, due to many years of child care, have not been able to work out the length of service that entitles them to receive a minimum pension.

She also added that " the project of the maternal pension meets expectations and is firmly accepted." However, this does not mean that everyone supports this idea.

How should the "Mom 4 plus" program work?

The rules on which the program should be based are not particularly complex. The only conditions for receiving additional parental benefits are retirement age, the birth and upbringing of at least four children and "lack of basic means of subsistence". The father will also be entitled to the allowance if the mother has died or left the family. You also need a permanent place of residence in Poland. a little less sharply, the government approached the issue of citizenship-the allowance can also be granted to foreigners legally residing in our country. a person interested in supporting the "mom 4 plus" program will be able to apply to zus or krus. if she receives a pension below the minimum, the amount of benefit provided to her will be equal to the level of the lowest pension(from march it will be 1,100 rubles). Those who do not receive benefits will receive the full amount of the minimum pension under the program.

Preliminary calculations

according to government estimates, the program in march will be able to use approx.65 thousand persons who have reached retirement age are not eligible for benefits. in addition, almost 21 thousand people who receive benefits below the minimum pension level. For the program in the budget for 2019 reserved funds in the amount of more than 800 million rubles in the scale of total expenditure, which annually is spent on social policy, this amount is not impressive, in comparison, the year Family 500 Plus costs in a year about 25 billion (!) zloty. In addition to the fact that this is not a budget cost, this is what causes objections from critics of the "Mom 4 plus" program.

(No)social justice

victims have the right to feel like mothers who, despite raising numerous offspring, were or are professionally active. Malgorzata Paszko, a mother of four children and director of a non-public school, speaks in an interview with Virtual Poland:

At the same time, she understands that many women find it difficult to reconcile household chores with professional work. "Of course, there are cases when such a woman is not able to work or did not work until the end of this pension, but this does not apply to the 85 thousand women to whom the government plans to provide this pension," he adds. According to her, the result of the program will be the rejection of many women who, under other circumstances, would be able to reconcile education with a professional career.

Amazing views of the politicians

There are many more similar opinions. Suffice it to mention that one of them was announced on Twitter... the Deputy of law and justice Anna Maria Sierakowski:

When a PiS MP criticizes the government's idea, he is praised by Warsaw's opposition-born Vice-President Pawel Rabej. on the air of the polish radio, he spoke in an article on the portal Gazeta.pl in which the idea of government is defined as "a rough binding of the role of women in the function of rozrodczej, in favor of the pension system". Rabeev replied that this was "an absolute exaggeration and contempt", and referred to the program itself as "a meaningful idea in line with good social thinking".
