What Urząd do Spraw Kombatantów i Osób Represjonowanych does

Urząd do Spraw Kombatantów i Osób Represjonowanych (Office for Veterans and Repressed Persons) is a government administrative office of the Republic of Poland, headquartered at ul. Wspólna 2/4, 00-926 Warszawa. It is the statutory central authority handling matters related to war veterans, anti-communist opposition activists (1956–1989), persons repressed for political reasons during the communist period, persons deported to Soviet forced labor in Siberia, and the surviving spouses of these constituencies. Operationally, the office is staffed by approximately 20 employees and is funded entirely through the Polish state budget; beneficiaries receive services at no direct cost.

The office's core "products" are administrative and social programs rather than commercial goods: monetary assistance (Pomoc Pieniężna), the "Rachunek Wdzięczności" and "Przyłącze Wdzięczności" gratitude-payment programs for Warsaw Uprising veterans, hearing aid subsidies, spa treatment, home/outpatient rehabilitation, dental and prosthetic treatment subsidies, recognition of veteran status, and grants of state honors and decorations (Ordery i odznaczenia, Medal "Pro Patria", Medal "Pro Bono Poloniae", the "Weteran Walk o Wolność i Niepodległość Ojczyzny" patent and badge). Distribution is delivered through the Warsaw headquarters, voivode plenipotentiaries in all 16 Polish voivodeships, and traveling consulting duty services. Supporting digital infrastructure consists of the kombatanci.gov.pl information portal and the System Elektroniczny Obsługi Interesantów e-administration platform.

The office also publishes the monthly Biuletyn Kombatant (issue 6/426, June 2026), manages the "Otwarty Konkurs Ofert" open grant competition for organizations supporting patriotic education and the documentation of independence struggles, and operates commemorative and ceremonial activities. Governance is structured under a Szef Urzędu (Head of Office) and Zastępca, with two advisory councils: the Rada do Spraw Kombatantów i Osób Represjonowanych and the Rada do Spraw Działaczy Opozycji Antykomunistycznej oraz Osób Represjonowanych z Powodów Politycznych. There is no commercial revenue model, no external investors, and no equity ownership; the office is a public-sector institution with a fixed statutory mandate.
