Child Benefits in 2020: Government Names the Amount
The Ministry of Social Policy said whether the amount of the cash benefit will change.
The amount of social assistance for the birth of a child will not change in 2020.
On Tuesday, 26 November, the press service of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine reported.
“One of the frequently raised questions is the following: will the amount of payments change in 2020 for the birth of a child. We answer: the amount will not change,” — the ministry said.
The birth benefit amount, as before, will be 41,280 hryvnias in 2020.
Earlier, in early November, Minister of Social Policy Yulia Sokolovska said that Ukraine will for now keep the existing mechanism for providing assistance at the birth of children.
One of the proposals was to introduce a targeted birth assistance programme that would be paid only to families whose average monthly income per person does not exceed 15% of the payment amount. However, after consultations with government bodies and discussion with the public, the ministry decided not to change the current system.
That is, all parents in Ukraine are entitled to the cash birth benefit regardless of the income of the father and mother.
President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky approved the introduction of fines for violating the rules on transporting children in cars.
The government lifted the cap on hot water and heating tariffs.
The Verkhovna Rada passed the state budget for 2020.
