From 2026: One-time assistance at the birth of a child will increase to 50 thousand hryvnias.

According to ТСН: From January 1, 2026, there will be changes in child benefits. One-time assistance at the birth of a child will amount to 50,000 hryvnias.

This information is confirmed by Law No. 4681-IX.

Child benefits from January 1, 2026

• One-time cash assistance for the birth of the first and each subsequent child — 50,000 hryvnias;

• Assistance for caring for a child under 1 year old — 7,000 hryvnias per month, and for a child with disabilities — 10,500 hryvnias per month;

Important! If the child has not yet turned 1 year old by January 1, 2026, parents will receive 860 hryvnias + 7,000 hryvnias per month until the child reaches 1 year old.

• “eYasla” (1-3 years) — 8,000 hryvnias per month for preschool education, clubs, or caregiving services, and for children with disabilities — 12,000 hryvnias per month;

• “Baby Package” — in kind or cash compensation (available from the 36th week of pregnancy);

• “Schoolchild Package” — one-time payment of 5,000 hryvnias for 1st grade students.

• 7,000 hryvnias — assistance related to pregnancy and childbirth for women who are not officially employed. Paid from the 7th month of pregnancy (70 days before childbirth).

It was previously reported that a certain category of people may need to return funds for children.

State funds may need to be returned by those who did not report changes in their property status. This particularly concerns large families where one of the parents secured a well-paid job but did not declare it.

Thus, changes in the system of child benefits aim to support families and improve conditions for raising children. The new program not only provides financial assistance at the birth of a child but also ensures support at various stages of a child's development, especially during preschool education and school development. This creates better conditions for raising the younger generation in Ukraine.
