Since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, about 4 thousand children are left without parental care every year. To support families who temporarily take in a child left without parental care, the government has introduced a new type of social assistance. Verkhovna Rada Commissioner for Human Rights Dmytro Lubinets explained how to get assistance to such families, reports UNN.

- a copy of the order of the children's service on temporary placement of the child;
- a medical report on a child with a disability issued in accordance with the procedure established by the Ministry of Health (in case of temporary placement of a child with a disability).
Your application must be reviewed within 10 calendar days. If it is approved, you will receive payments in the amount of:
- for children under 6 years - 6 407,5 UAH – for children from 6 to 18 years-7 990 UAH;
- for children with disabilities up to 6 years – 8 970,5 UAH, for children with disabilities from 6 to 18 years – 11 186 UAH.
