In April, 13 Million Ukrainians to Receive Automatic 1,500 Hryvnia Payments—Here's Who Qualifies.

One-Time Cash Assistance for Ukrainians

According to TSN.ua: A one-time payment of 1,500 hryvnia will be distributed to 13 million Ukrainians in April 2023. This initiative, announced by Social Policy Minister Denys Ulutin, targets a wide range of vulnerable groups, including pensioners, people with disabilities, low-income families, internally displaced persons, and households with children. The program is part of broader efforts to provide financial relief during ongoing economic challenges.

Recipients do not need to submit applications or visit government offices, as the funds will be disbursed automatically. Payments will be made via bank cards or through Ukraine's postal service, Ukrposhta.

Denys Ulutin stated, 'The payment will go to old-age pensioners, social assistance recipients—specifically families with children, persons with disabilities, those receiving basic social aid, and internally displaced persons who currently get support for displacement.'

Eligible Categories of Citizens

The assistance will be provided to the following groups:

• Pensioners under the mandatory state pension insurance scheme;
• Recipients of disability benefits;
• Low-income families;
• Internally displaced persons already receiving social assistance;
• Families with children;
• Other recipients of basic social welfare.

Ulutin emphasized, 'We believe that most or all who need this payment truly require it, as they have been verified based on their financial status.' The goal is to channel support to those hardest hit during this difficult period.

This initiative represents a significant step in aiding the country's most vulnerable populations amid economic hardship. By automating the payment process, the government aims to reduce bureaucratic obstacles and provide faster, more efficient assistance, helping to stabilize recipients' finances during the crisis.
