The Pension Fund of Ukraine has announced changes in the calculation of income for subsidy appointments, as approved by a resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers.
From now on, certain state payments, including "Winter Support" and "National Cashback," will not be included in the total family income, reports the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
How This Will Affect Subsidy Payments
According to the updated rules, funds received under the specified programs will not be taken into account when determining eligibility for housing subsidies.
These changes also apply to payments that depend on cashless purchases of Ukrainian-made goods under the "Made in Ukraine" program. The new approach impacts the procedure for granting benefits, where the primary criterion remains the average monthly family income.
Important to Know!
As specified in Cabinet Resolution No. 389 dated June 4, 2015, one-time payments from the "Winter Support" and "National Cashback" programs are no longer included in the total income for determining eligibility for subsidies and benefits for housing and communal services payments.
Additionally, Politeka wrote that Ukrainians receiving government assistance, social payments, or benefits are required to update the relevant registries within 30 calendar days in the event of changes to their personal data.
