Announcement of Payments: How Ukrainian Families Can Access State Support for Newborns
In Ukraine, there is increasing attention to supporting young families experiencing parenthood for the first time.
As part of the state program called ‘Baby Package,’ Ukrainian parents have the opportunity to receive a one-time tangible assistance or its monetary compensation.
Detailed instructions for obtaining this aid have been published by the Main Department of the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU) in the Volyn region.
To receive the monetary compensation, it is necessary to open a special bank account with restricted usage mode in a designated bank authorized by the fund.
The compensation amount is set at three times the subsistence minimum for children under six years old, which in 2025 amounts to 7689 hryvnias.
To apply, parents must submit a series of documents, including a standard application form, an ID, the child’s birth certificate or a legalized copy, and court or guardianship decisions if needed.
Applications can be submitted through official Pension Fund services, the ‘Diia’ e-government portal, local community authorities, or via postal services.
It is important to note that the compensation can be received no later than 12 months after the child’s birth, except for cases where the birth was registered during wartime or a state of emergency and the court has reviewed the case accordingly.
