Ukrainian Parents Encounter Issues Accessing Child Support Payments from Oschadbank.

State Support for Ukrainian Families

According to Novyny.live: Ukrainian families with children can now apply for two types of state financial aid through Oschadbank: a childcare payment for infants under one year old and the 'eYasla' program. However, some citizens are reporting difficulties during the application process for these benefits. These support programs are part of a broader government initiative to assist families during challenging economic times.

The monthly childcare payment for a child under one is 7,000 hryvnias per child, or 10,500 hryvnias for a child with a disability. To receive this payment, parents must open special accounts with Oschadbank. It is important to note that Oschadbank is currently the only financial institution authorized to open these specific accounts for these payments. Under the separate 'eYasla' program, families receive 8,000 hryvnias monthly per child.

Navigating the Application Process

Despite the availability of funds, the application procedure can be complex. A representative from Oschadbank clarified that if information regarding the account opening needs to be changed for a specific region, citizens must contact the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU).

"Applicants need to contact the PFU, as the PFU must update the information concerning the account opening in the required region. The bank opens the account based strictly on the data provided by the PFU," emphasized the bank's representative.

Given these procedural details, it is crucial for parents to be fully informed. They can take the following steps:

• Contact Oschadbank directly for consultations and clarifications;
• Reach out to the Pension Fund of Ukraine to resolve any issues related to account registration.

This guidance will be valuable for anyone planning to utilize state support for their children.

In summary, while Ukrainian families are eligible for this essential financial assistance, adhering to all requirements and procedures is key to a successful application. Given the current economic climate, these state payments are a vital resource for many households. Properly navigating the application process can significantly ease the financial burden on parents, making timely information and procedural advice critically important. Due to the specific operational protocols of Oschadbank and the PFU, access to qualified support for resolving individual issues is essential for applicants.
