The Ministry of Social Policy plans to consolidate about 40 types of social benefits to make them more understandable and accessible to citizens. This was stated by Deputy Minister of Social Policy Daria Marchak during a briefing on Wednesday, according to a UNN correspondent.
At the state level, we have about 40 types of payments, and this is a very large volume. For the most part, citizens do not understand what benefits they are entitled to, and this creates a big risk that we are not providing enough support for families in need
According to her, the Ministry of Social Policy is moving towards consolidation, not reduction, of payments.
"We do not want to reduce the amount of funds, on the contrary, we want to increase them," said Marchak.
Recall
