The Cabinet of Ministers has approved a new procedure for compensating the cost of utility services to institutions that accommodate families of internally displaced persons (IDPs). The changes will allow payments to be made directly to the institutions where IDPs live, and not to the authorities that own these institutions. This was announced by Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal during a government meeting, reports UNN.

"Today, we are approving a new procedure for compensating the cost of utility services to institutions that accommodate IDP families. We are making this procedure more efficient. We are transferring the payment function to the Pension Fund. Payments will be made directly to the institutions where internally displaced persons live, and not to the authorities that own these institutions," said Shmyhal.
He noted that the digitalization of the process will avoid abuse, and calculations will now be made every month, instead of with a delay of a quarter.
