I am a citizen of Ukraine, I received a PESEL UKR and social benefits. I left for the UA but after 2 months I returned to Poland and renewed my UKR status. Do I have the right to apply for 500+ again?

The departure of a Ukrainian citizen from the territory of the Republic of Poland for a period longer than 1 month deprives him of the right to recognize his stay in Poland as legal under the Special Act, and thus, to use the benefits granted under the Special Act.

Re-entry into Poland after the lapse of 2 months results in the Ukrainian citizen being covered by protection and provides the basis for applying for benefits, provided that when crossing the border, she declares that her arrival in Poland is related to seeking protection against the ongoing armed conflict.

Upon arrival in Poland, you should contact the commune authority to make sure that the UKR status in the PESEL database has been restored.
