The payment of 6,500 hryvnia is available from today. The program is aimed at supporting Ukrainians from the most vulnerable categories during the winter period.
The following categories of people can receive assistance:

- children with disabilities, as well as children in foster families and family-type orphanages (including children with disabilities);
- people with disabilities of group I among internally displaced persons;
- IDP children who receive housing allowance;

An application for payment can be submitted online through the “Diya” application or offline at a Pension Fund branch. The Pension Fund of Ukraine is responsible for accrual of funds.
The funds will be deposited into a current account with a special usage mode, if it is opened at the bank, or into the Diya.Card.
The assistance can be spent within 180 days from the date of enrollment. The funds can be used to purchase clothing and shoes, medicines, and vitamins.
By the way, Ukrainians are actively applying for participation in the “Winter Support” program, which provides for a one-time payment of 1,000 hryvnias. Some people cannot apply for assistance online because they do not use a smartphone .
As previously reported, the government program “Winter Support” has already been launched in Ukraine , according to which every Ukrainian can receive 1,000 hryvnias.
We remind you that the government wants to finance “Winter Support” by reducing other social expenditures : according to the accompanying documents, it is proposed to take money from programs to protect children and low-income families.
