According to the Prime Minister:
- the duration of payments is extended. Now the most vulnerable categories of IDPs will be able to receive state support for another six months;
- support for children from among IDPs is strengthened. Regardless of family income, payments will be assigned from February 1, 2026, if the application is submitted before May 1, 2026;
- the review of payments for disabled IDPs is updated. This refers to those whose housing payments were previously stopped due to exceeding the income limit. Due to the increase in the subsistence minimum, such people can now submit documents for review.
The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine clarified that assistance will be assigned from February 1, 2026, provided that the application is submitted by May 1, 2026. If the documents for recalculation are submitted later, then payments will be accrued from the month of submitting the application for assistance.
"The maximum number of six-month payment periods has been extended from four to five. This will allow the most vulnerable categories of IDPs to receive state support for six months longer," the ministry's social media post says.

Pensioners and vulnerable categories will receive a one-time assistance of UAH 1500. Funds will be automatically credited through banks or Ukrposhta without additional applications.
