The Pension Fund of Ukraine has already started paying one-time state assistance under the 'School Package' program. More than 86 thousand families of first graders have already received the first funds, with a total funding amount of over 430 million hryvnias. 5 thousand hryvnias have been transferred to special accounts in banks for each family.
To receive this assistance, you can use the 'Diia' application or contact the Pension Fund service center with a paper application. The agency emphasizes that the right to receive payments does not depend on the family's financial situation. 'This is targeted state support for every child entering the first grade,' it is emphasized in the Pension Fund.
You can check the status of your application in your personal account on the electronic services portal of the Pension Fund of Ukraine. You do not need to submit a certificate from the school, as the updated list of first graders is sent by the Ministry of Education.
It is important to remember that if the information about the child was submitted late, the assistance payment is still assigned after receiving the data, provided that the application is submitted by November 15. It is also worth considering how receiving the 'School Package' may affect the amount of the subsidy.
