Who in Ukraine will definitely not receive a subsidy or may have an already granted one revoked.

Housing subsidies remain a crucial tool for social support, but it is essential to meet all the established requirements to qualify for them.
В Украине есть категории граждан, которым субсидии не предоставляют или могут отменить уже выданные.

The government continues to support citizens who struggle to pay for housing and communal services on their own. However, there are specific conditions for receiving a subsidy, and some categories of applicants may be denied.

"Telegraph" discusses 7 common reasons for denial of this type of social assistance. It is important to note that some cases have exceptions, so the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU) reviews each household individually.

When subsidies are not granted or can be revoked

  • If the area of the dwelling exceeds 130 sq. m for an apartment or 230 sq. m for a house (exceptions apply for large families and family-type orphanages).
  • If there is a vehicle owned that was manufactured less than 5 years ago (mopeds and trailers are not counted).
  • If a family member owns two or more vehicles manufactured less than 15 years ago.
  • If there is an outstanding debt for housing and communal services for more than three months, exceeding 40 non-taxable minimum income amounts.
  • If one of the registered residents purchased foreign currency or made purchases totaling more than 100,000 UAH (excluding medical expenses) within the year prior to the application.
  • If there is a bank deposit exceeding 100,000 UAH or ownership of more than one apartment (exceptions include temporarily occupied territories and partial ownership in villages).
  • If there are family members who do not pay the single social contribution (SSC) or evade alimony for more than 3 months.

It should be noted that a subsidy is assigned when the amount of expenses exceeds the mandatory payment calculated individually for each family based on total income. Even if a person meets the above conditions and is entitled to receive assistance, the amount may be 0 or less due to income considerations.

It is important to know that if a fact that cancels the right to receive a subsidy is concealed in the submitted documents or not reported to the PFU, the subsidy may be revoked, and any excess funds disbursed may need to be returned. Examples include the possession or purchase of a new vehicle.

Previously, "Telegraph" offered a calculation of the subsidy that a person would receive at the minimum wage. If there are multiple members in the family, including minors, the amount of allocations can significantly change.
