According to Ukrainian law, all internally displaced persons and their children are entitled to financial, humanitarian, social and other types of assistance from the state. 

According to the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine, children born after their parents have been granted IDP status are also entitled to state assistance. The article below describes financial assistance for newborn Ukrainians and the amount of state payments.

Payments to newborns: what is known 

Citizens of Ukraine with IDP status who have children born after 24 February 2022 are entitled to IDP status and the corresponding newborn payments. 

It is noted that if the child was born after the outbreak of a full-scale war, but before the resolution came into force, he or she is also entitled to receive payments. After the relevant application, the child will be granted the benefit with an automatic extension until 1 August 2023. 

To receive the allowance for a newborn child, you only need an IDP certificate. With the relevant certificate, you can get the same document for your baby.

To receive financial assistance for the cost of living for a newborn child, you must submit an application with an IDP certificate attached.

Women raising their children on their own can receive the following payments from the state:
