UAH 50,000 in aid
The provided one-time aid of UAH 50,000 upon the birth of the first and each subsequent child replaces the previous aid of UAH 41,280.
Aid to parents upon the birth of a child is assigned based on the child's birth certificate.
If the child's mother was assigned aid due to pregnancy and childbirth, aid upon the birth of a child is assigned without submitting documents.
Aid upon the birth of a child is assigned provided that the application for its assignment was received no later than 12 months from the date of the child's birth. In the event of a stillbirth, aid upon the birth of a child is not assigned.
In addition, aid will not be paid in case of:
- deprivation of parental rights of the aid recipient;
- removal of the child from the aid recipient without deprivation of parental rights;
- temporary placement of the child for full state support;
- termination of guardianship or release of the guardian from his powers regarding a specific child.
Recall
The Cabinet of Ministers developed a draft law that provides for an increase in the one-time aid upon the birth of a child to UAH 50,000, as well as an increase in financial support for pregnant women without work experience and the introduction of additional aid for parents who return to work after the child turns one.
