Benefit granted to unemployed persons registered with labour offices.
The conditions determining the entitlement to the benefit and the duration of a benefit period are regulated by the Act on Labour Market and Employment Services. The benefit is subject to annual adjustment as of 1 June, based on the total average annual index of consumer goods and services in the previous year. The Minister competent for labour, on the basis of a communication of the President of Statistics Poland, announces, by way of an announcement in the Official Gazette of the Republic of Poland 'Monitor Polski', the amounts of benefits after adjustment. Funds for unemployment benefits come from the Labour Fund.
