Kyiv • UNN
The Ministry of Defense has introduced automatic extension of deferrals for 22 categories of citizens through registries. In case of system failures, applications are now accepted only at Administrative Service Centers (TsNAPs).
Over 90% of mobilization deferrals are now extended automatically. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine.
Details
As noted by the department, those citizens whose data requires personal updating can now submit an application for a deferral extension through any convenient Administrative Services Center.
At the same time, Territorial Recruitment and Social Support Centers no longer accept such applications from citizens.
The mechanism for automatic confirmation through registers is already in effect for 22 categories of deferrals. Deferrals for the following categories are subject to automatic extension:
- People with disabilities;
- Temporarily unfit
for service;
- Parents of three or more
children;
- Parents
single-handedly raising a child under 18;
- Parents of a child with
a disability under 18;
- Parents raising
a seriously ill child without a disability;
- Parents of an adult
child with a Group I or II disability;
- Those caring for
a seriously ill family member;
- Guardians of a person
declared incapacitated;
- Those who have a spouse
with a Group I or II disability;
- Those who have a spouse
with a Group III disability;
- Those who have relatives
or a father or mother of a spouse with a Group I or II disability;
- People caring
for a relative of the 2nd or 3rd degree of kinship with a disability;
- Women and men
of the military with a child;
- Students, postgraduate students;
- Employees of higher and
vocational education;
- School teachers;
- People whose close
relatives died or went missing during combat operations or martial law;
- Relatives of Heroes
of Ukraine, awarded posthumously for courage during the Revolution of Dignity;
- People deprived of
liberty as a result of armed aggression against Ukraine;
- Military personnel released
from captivity;
- People after
a one-year contract aged 18–25.
However, the automatic deferral extension system may not work. This usually happens with the following categories of people:
- those who have a father
or mother with a Group I or II disability;
- those caring
for a seriously ill family member;
- parents of three and
more children.
In such cases, to extend the deferral, it is necessary to personally apply to any convenient Administrative Services Center with the relevant documents
Recall
In Ukraine, it is proposed to change the approach to the reservation of persons liable for military service and to legislatively consolidate the same rules for all categories of persons who can receive a deferral from mobilization.
