Those who have been issued a PESEL number with UKR status without presenting a valid travel document must urgently confirm their identity \u2014 otherwise, they risk losing this status as of September 1<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"why-the-problem-primarily-concerns-children\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why the problem primarily concerns children<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">ZUS has drawn particular attention to the fact that this situation most often affects minors. In the early, most chaotic months following the onset of the full-scale invasion, many parents and guardians, fleeing from the war, registered their children for a PESEL number with the UKR status, without having passports or other documents confirming the child&#8217;s identity. At that time, this was a justified and necessary measure \u2014 now, however, the agency requires that the documents be put in order.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-needs-to-be-done-by-august-31\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What needs to be done by August 31<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Everyone concerned must personally appear at the gmina (local government) office in their place of residence and undergo the identity verification procedure. This must be done <strong>no later than August 31<\/strong> \u2014 the deadlines are non-extendable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-inaction-leads-to\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Inaction Leads To<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If the procedure is not completed on time, the consequences will occur automatically<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n\n\n<li>From September 1, the UKR status will be canceled and replaced with the NUE status<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The temporary protection that has been in effect until now will cease<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>The right to all benefits and payments related to temporary protection will be lost, including the right to receive the &quot;800+&quot; allowance<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>for further legal residence in Poland, a person will have to seek a new, separate basis for residence in the country \u2014 that is, go through the procedures on general terms<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 id=\"what-to-do-right-now\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What to do right now<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Considering that the deadline is nearly expired, experts and ZUS itself recommend not postponing a visit to the gmina. This is especially true for families with children who were granted PESEL in 2022 through the simplified procedure \u2014 this category is at the highest risk of losing their status and social benefits<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Zak\u0142ad Ubezpiecze\u0144 Spo\u0142ecznych (ZUS) wyda\u0142 wa\u017cne ostrze\u017cenie, kt\u00f3re dotyczy tysi\u0119cy obywateli Ukrainy przebywaj\u0105cych w kraju w ramach ochrony czasowej.
