Child's living allowance for IDPs who have children after displacement.IDPs who have had children after displacement can receive a child's allowance.

If IDPs who moved from the territories for which the date of the end of hostilities or temporary occupation has not been determined, as well as those whose housing is destroyed or uninhabitable, have a child after February 24, 2022, but the assistance was not granted before the new resolution came into force, the assistance is accrued from the date of application for it with automatic extension from August 1, 2023. We remind you that the amount of the allowance for the accommodation of an IDP child is UAH 3000. If you have an IDP status, you can also obtain an IDP certificate for your newborn child. You can do this online through the Diia portal by contacting your local ASC or social protection department. After receiving an IDP certificate, you can apply for an IDP child's living allowance. |
