Which Benefits Can Be Registered Online
According to Minister of Social Policy Denys Uliutin, this includes applications for several types of assistance:
- assistance related to pregnancy and childbirth;
- payments for childcare up to one year;
- participation in the “eNursery” program.
In January, the government announced the possibility of applying for childbirth assistance and monetary compensation for the “Baby Package” service through the official websites of the Ministry of Social Policy and the Pension Fund. The new service will make it even easier to access these services without leaving home.
Accessibility Through Various Channels
As Denys Uliutin clarified, the government has already allowed the submission of documents for child benefits at Administrative Service Centers and through community representatives. Soon, the option for online submission will be added to these channels.
“We are currently working with colleagues on the technical feasibility of submitting such an application. I believe we will be able to do this in the near future,” said the head of the Ministry of Social Policy.
The introduction of the online service also aims to reduce the burden on the Pension Fund and improve the efficiency of servicing citizens who need social support for their children.
