What is the maximum period for claiming the 40 PLN per diem benefit for pensioner accommodation?
In accordance with the special regulations introduced in connection with the Russian invasion of Ukraine, entities that have provided accommodation and food for Ukrainian citizens at their own expense are eligible to claim a cash benefit for a period of up to 120 days. The period of payment eligibility can be extended in exceptional and duly justified cases. According to the legislation introduced, these special cases include, among others, citizens of Ukraine who have reached the age of 60 (women) or 65 (men). Thus, as a rule, the benefit can be claimed for a period of up to 120 days, but in the case of providing accommodation and meals to Ukrainian citizens above the ages stated above, this period may be extended.
It should be noted that all applications for the aforementioned benefit, as well as the extension thereof, should be submitted by the entities that provided accommodation and board to Ukrainian citizens.
