10 billion in debt to the Alimony Fund alone
The Alimony Fund pays benefits to children from families where the income per family member does not exceed PLN 800 (PLN 75 more than in the last 11 years). However, these maintenance payments are only PLN 500. This is done by parents who are in arrears with payments. It was they who established a debt of PLN 10 billion. 600 thousand children exceed the income criterion and are still without maintenance due to them. The package, which was introduced in 2018, reduces the number of delayed parents, but does not completely solve the problem. The debt keeps growing.
The introduced changes allow the prosecution to prosecute the maintenance debtor who is in arrears with payments for the last three months. Municipalities are also required to blacklist it at credit reference bureaus. People who hide or understate their income are subject to a penalty of 1.5 thousand. PLN up to 45 thousand. zloty. This is to deter potential fraudsters who try to evade paying for their children. The legal changes have not yet brought any visible effects. We still have to wait for a radical, noticeable improvement.
