Starting January 1, 2026, a new procedure for state assistance for childbirth will be introduced in Ukraine. This means that some families will receive one-time payments, while others will be able to count on regular funds until the child reaches a certain age. This was announced by the First Deputy Minister of Social Policy, Family and Unity, Lyudmyla Shemelynets, on the air of the telethon, writes UNN.

According to Shemelynets, the new system provides for a one-time payment of 50,000 hryvnias upon the birth of a child.

This amount will apply only to mothers who gave birth after January 1, 2026.
"If we are talking about all other types of payments, they will be guaranteed for those children who have not yet reached one year of age as of January 1, 2026," emphasized the First Deputy Minister.
She clarified that parents of children who will not yet be one year old by January 1, 2026, will be able to receive monthly assistance of 7,000 hryvnias until the child reaches one year of age.
Also, after the child turns one year old, families will be able to receive support under the "eYasla" program.
Recall
The Verkhovna Rada adopted a bill on a one-time payment of 50,000 hryvnias upon childbirth starting in 2026. Demographer Svitlana Aksyonova believes that this amount will not affect the demographic situation due to the war, but may support certain categories of women and families.
