New housing rules and allowances for Prison Service officers

The act introduces a new housing support system for Prison Service officers. Instead of previous solutions, officers will receive a monthly housing allowance exempt from income tax. The changes also cover rules for temporary quarters and repayment of previously received housing financial aid.
Key points
New monthly housing allowance for Prison Service officers without assigned service housing – tax-exempt and location-based.
End of cash equivalents for lack of housing – replaced by regular housing allowance adjusted to unit location.
Officers who previously received housing financial aid can now get the housing allowance, but reduced by repayment installments.
Allowance not paid during unpaid leave (except parental), suspension from duties, or arrest.
Spending on the new allowance capped at approximately PLN 4.5 billion for 2025–2035, with correction mechanism if budget threatened.
