Foreigners who came to live in Poland 5-10 years ago remember well how they used to get the necessary documents for work and benefits. Some remember these worries with a smile, while for others it is like a terrible dream. Why so? Constant collection of the right documents, personal visits to different government services, live queues and many other reasons. Fortunately, in a few years Polish systems have made a huge step forward and are gradually becoming digitalized.
Digitalization has recently touched the well-known ZUS, where insurance fees are paid and where various benefits can be received. Now people can use a special mZUS app, which you will learn more about in this article. Here you can find answers to such questions as: what is mZUS, who can use it, how to install it and what functionality this application has.
The mZUS app - what is it and who can use it?
No matter how long you have lived in Poland, whether you have a temporary residence permit or a permanent residence permit, everyone living in Poland knows about ZUS. It is the familiar social insurance office, where you can receive benefits, pay premiums and much more. The mZUS application means that it is created specifically for use with cell phones. However, many people still don't know why it was created and who can use it. Below we have compiled a list of who the app was designed for:
Citizens of the Republic of Poland.
Foreigners residing on the territory of Poland.
People who are insured by ZUS.
Persons who are entitled to a large number of state benefits.
Today, this app is available for free on Android and iOS owners. Just follow the right link, install the app on your gadget and start using it easily.
What can you do with the mZUS mobile app?
The mZUS app for smartphones appeared more than a year ago and today more and more people are using it. You may ask why this is so. It's all about the functionality - it is gradually expanding and today you can perform many tasks online, without having to visit the institution in person. With the help of mZUS in 2024 you can easily check:
Insurance (including health insurance and membership of the National Health Fund).
Contributions (basic contributions and contributions, sub-account, open pension fund).
Starting capital.
Information on the status of the ZUS account.
Registration of family members for health insurance.
Work breaks.
Through the application you can also easily apply for the 800+ childcare allowance, Dobry Start 300+ benefit, co-financing of the fee for a child's stay in a daycare center, child club or kindergarten, as well as family care capital (after submitting the application you can also clarify the planned timeframe for resolving the issue).
If you have previously applied to ZUS for 300+ or 800+ benefits and have been granted benefits, you can create a new application based on this. All your details will be uploaded automatically. If anything has changed, you can correct it.
