“Given the certain difficulty for people, especially in winter, to find work… we, together with the government, decided to extend the existing payment terms for absolutely everyone for another month until March 1,” she said.
According to her, one month of extension of payments costs the budget more than 6 billion hryvnia.
At the same time, after March 1, only pensioners receiving less than 9,444 hryvnia will be able to receive payments. Also, assistance was extended for people with disabilities of the first and second groups, children with disabilities, orphans and children deprived of parental care, Zholnovich said.
Payments to families who were employed last year but receive less than 9,400 hryvnia of income per family member have also been extended, the minister said.
In addition, they will continue to pay assistance to those people who live in “conditionally safe territories”, but their children do not go to kindergartens due to lack of places. “We will assume that the mother does not work due to circumstances beyond her control, because she is forced to take care of her children,” Zholnovich said.
Payments for IDPs
Let us remind you that a monthly compensation for accommodation in the amount of 3 thousand hryvnia is paid from the state budget to persons with disabilities and children and 2 thousand hryvnia for all other internal migrants.
The government decided that for all internally displaced persons receiving assistance from August 1, 2023, it will be automatically extended only for 6 months – until the end of January 2024.
Earlier, the Ministry of Social Policy proposed to extend the payment of compensation for accommodation to internally displaced persons: pensioners, persons with disabilities, orphans and the unemployed (under certain conditions).
