When are IDP payments made: new payment schedule

Previously, funds were disbursed on the 3rd, 13th, and 23rd of each month — however, this schedule is no longer in effect. Currently, payments are made in two installments: by the 15th or by the 28th of each month, depending on the individual payment schedule for each recipient.

Recipients are advised to check their bank cards for incoming funds, taking into account possible delays — which may occur due to weekends or technical issues.

The period for receiving IDP benefits has been extended to 30 months

Another important change concerns the maximum duration of benefit eligibility. Following an update to the rules, certain categories of internally displaced persons can now receive benefits for up to 30 months from the date of application. Previously, the maximum duration was 24 months.

We remind you! Residents of private homes without centralized heating can receive a one-time payment for fuel — ranging from 7 to 16+ thousand UAH per year. Read about who is eligible for a firewood subsidy, how to apply for it online, and what documents are required.
