Payments have been extended until mid-2025.
Retirees in Ukraine who meet the requirements of the UN Supplemental Cash Assistance Program may receive payments from the World Food Program.
The government portal writes about this.
We are talking about an amount equal to the difference between UAH 3,250 and the amount of the pension they receive.
What kind of assistance from the UN is possible: calculation formula
If the pension payment is 3100 UAH, then the difference is calculated. If you subtract 3100 from 3250 UAH, then the amount will be equal to 150 UAH. This will be the additional payment that a person of retirement age can receive.
Who can receive financial assistance: conditions
To receive assistance, a person must meet three criteria:
Which areas are the site of active or potential military action:
- Dnepropetrovsk region,
- Donetsk region,
- Zaporizhia region,
- Luhansk region,
- Nikolaev region,
- Sumy region,
- Kharkiv region,
- Kherson region,
- Chernihiv region.
The payment of additional benefits ceases if the pensioner no longer meets at least one of the specified conditions.
Who else can apply for UN assistance?
At the end of 2024, new categories of Ukrainian citizens who can receive these payments were added. Now, persons who are not entitled to receive a pension, as well as adults and children with disabilities, have the right to financial assistance.
Let us recall that starting from April 1, Ukraine plans to increase pensions for about 630,000 working pensioners.
