In order to balance the burdens resulting from profes­sional subordination and numerous responsibilities, the legislator granted officers and professional soldiers special rights, including social benefits. Social benefits for profes­sional soldiers and officers of militarised services can be divided into: housing, travel expenses, allowances, grants, and special subsidies (for leisure, medical treatment, par­ticipation in various cultural and educational activities). The amendments introduced by the Act of 12 Septem­ber 2025 will have a positive impact on the financial and housing situation of officers from some militarised servic­es (the Police, the Border Guard, the State Fire Service, the State Protection Service, the Internal Security Agency, the Intelligence Agency, the Military Counterintelligence Service, the Military Intelligence Service). They also rep­resent a step towards reducing the differentiation between professional soldiers and officers of selected militarised services, not all aspects of which are justified. However, this amendment leads to new differences. The changes did not apply to officers of the Prison Service, the Customs and Tax Service, the Marshal’s Guard, and the Central Anti-Corruption Bureau. The aim of this article is to as­sess the legitimacy of differences in the status of officers of various militarised services, in terms of social rights, par­ticularly housing benefits.

Recently, another part of the Labor Law System has been published – the thirteenth chronologically and the twelfth in substantive order. The reviewed volume is devoted to administrative-leglal employment. The study proves the validity of the thesis that service relations law is the domain not only of administrative law, but also of labor law. For the first time in Polish legal literature, the subject of administrative-legal employment was presented so comprehensively. The elements of the service relationship, the relationships functionally related to it and the social provision system for officers and professional soldiers were presented comprehensively and mostly in depth.
