The Ministry of Social Policy explained the period for which incomes are taken into account when assigning housing

subsidies

to Ukrainians.

This was reported to the Ministry of Social Policy.

Income for the following periods is taken into account to calculate the amount of the housing subsidy:

  • for the III-IV quarters of the previous calendar year: in the case when the housing subsidy is assigned from the beginning of the non-heating season (May);

  • for the I-II quarters of the current calendar year: in the case when the housing subsidy is assigned from the beginning of the heating season (October);

  • for the two quarters preceding the month that precedes the month of application for housing subsidy: in case the housing subsidy is not assigned from the beginning of the heating (non-heating) season.

It is emphasized that in the case of housing subsidies from the beginning of the heating season, income in the form of a pension is taken into account in the amount of the accrued pension for August of the current year.

On the other hand, in the case of the assignment of a housing subsidy from the beginning of the non-heating season, income in the form of a pension is taken into account in the amount of the accrued pension for March of the current year.

If the housing subsidy is not assigned from the beginning of the heating (non-heating) season, the amount of accrued pension for the month preceding the month preceding the month from which the housing subsidy is assigned is taken into account.

"That is, in the case of applying for a subsidy for the payment of housing and communal services in January 2023, the income of persons for the II and III quarters of 2022 is taken into account, and the income in the form of a pension is taken into account for November 2022," the Ministry of Social Policy concluded.

As a reminder,

pensions in Ukraine will be transferred in March 2023.

The amount of the recalculation will depend on the percentage of inflation, which will become known at the end of January 2023.
