State Support in Action: Who Will Receive Thousands of Hryvnias for Winter Expenses
Citizens of Ukraine who use the 'Diia' mobile application have gained access to several financial support programs from the state. In particular, winter support has been introduced in the amount of 1000 hryvnias, which is provided to all Ukrainians without exception. Additionally, a one-time assistance of 6500 hryvnias is provided for vulnerable categories of the population.
New Basic Social Assistance
A new basic social assistance has also been introduced, which amounts to 4500 hryvnias per family. The amount of this assistance depends on the composition of the household and the income of its members. The basic assistance has been introduced to simplify the system of social support, aimed at facilitating citizens' access to state benefits.
The registration of all types of assistance takes place in a fully digital format without the need to provide paper certificates. This significantly simplifies the process of receiving financial support, especially for those who belong to vulnerable categories of the population. Such categories of basic assistance recipients include:
- low-income families;
- single mothers;
- children without alimony;
- families facing difficult life circumstances.
Thus, the new financial support programs from the state aim to provide winter assistance for all Ukrainians, as well as help the most vulnerable segments of the population.
The introduced financial support programs are part of the efforts of the Ukrainian government aimed at improving the social protection of the population in the face of economic challenges that the country faces.
Thanks to the digitalization of the assistance registration process, the government hopes to increase the efficiency of social service delivery and facilitate access to them for all citizens, especially for those who need it the most.
