---------------------------------------------------------------- http://www.ukrlife.tv ---------------------------------------------------------------- A low-income benefit is available to families residing in Ukraine with a combined average monthly income below the subsistence level. What is total family income? This is the combined income for six months that all family members receive. To apply for benefits (assistance) for low-income families in Ukraine, visit the local government's labor and social protection department (sovbes). After the consultation, on the appointed day, you will need to provide the following documents: Application for benefits (state social assistance); Passport; Certificate of residence (from the housing office, housing cooperative, or street representative) confirming family composition; Income declarations for all family members (excluding low-income benefits, housing and utility subsidies, and alimony paid by a family member); a certificate confirming the availability and size of the land plot (or share, if any). After each individual case is reviewed, the benefit is awarded. If approved, the benefit is paid for six months from the date the application was submitted. Anna Yushchenko, a lawyer with the public reception offices of the Ukrainian Helsinki Group on Human Rights, spoke on UKRLIFE.TV about how low-income families can receive state social assistance.
