"We are changing the approach: instead of five different payments, there will now be basic social assistance. It will allow families in difficult life circumstances to receive support faster and easier," Svyrydenko wrote on social media.
According to her, this pilot project is designed for two years, and in parallel, the government is already working to make it permanent. "To do this, we approved and submitted the relevant bill to parliament," the prime minister added.
Ukrainians who receive the following social benefits from the state can use the service:
- assistance to low-income families;
- payments for children to single mothers;
- temporary assistance to children whose parents do not pay alimony or whose whereabouts are unknown.
"Later, this list will be expanded - all other families who meet the program criteria will be able to receive assistance," also said First Vice Prime Minister - Minister of Digital Transformation Mykhailo Fedorov on Telegram.
How it works
You can apply for such assistance online in "Diia". To do this, you need to request a calculation of the monthly payment in the application. If everything suits you, submit an application without spending extra time collecting paper certificates.
As reported in "Diia", the procedure is as follows:
- Update and log in to the "Diia" application.
- Next: Services - State Aid - Basic Social Aid - Get Aid.
- Wait for a notification with the calculation of the monthly amount.
- If you agree, click Submit Application and select "Diia.Card" for payments.
- Check the application and confirm that you refuse other types of assistance - they will be combined into one payment.
