Following discussions with the President of Ukraine, we are preparing a new support package for people
According to her, the first program concerns supporting pensioners and vulnerable categories of citizens.
An additional payment of UAH 1,500 will be aimed at supporting the most vulnerable categories - pensioners by age, recipients of disability benefits, low-income recipients of basic social assistance, IDPs, and families with children. In total, almost 13 million people. The funds will be received once in April through existing mechanisms by which people receive social payments - to special accounts in banks or through Ukrposhta. Payments will be made within the framework of existing budget programs of the Ministry of Social Policy
The second program is fuel cashback
When buying at gas stations, citizens will be able to receive from the state:
- 15% cashback on diesel fuel;
- 10% cashback on gasoline;
- 5% cashback on autogas.
Fuel cashback will be valid until May 1 at all gas stations that join the program.
Payments will be made based on the "National Cashback" program, which is already used by 9.4 million citizens
