From September 1, social benefits in Ukraine can be obtained online: what has changed

A new system for receiving state social assistance in Ukraine is already up and running!

From September, citizens will have the opportunity to submit applications for state assistance online through the electronic portal of the Pension Fund of Ukraine - this was explained by the press service of the PFU.

This change will simplify the process of applying for assistance for various categories of citizens, including, for example, war veterans, people with disabilities, those affected by the Chernobyl disaster, children from large families, and others.

Until now, documents had to be submitted in person at the address or at service centers of the PFU, but from the beginning of September, the new assistance can be obtained online.

It is also important to note the possibility of obtaining an electronic signature key, which will allow you to authorize your documents in accordance with the requirements of the new system. Such a key can be obtained from a number of state and commercial institutions listed in the directory.
