Subsidies for Ukrainians: How to check if your subsidy for 2025 has been allocated.

How can you check if you have been granted a housing subsidy for 2025? The Pension Fund of Ukraine has recalculated the payment amounts for the heating season, both before and after the New Year. Focus has uncovered the details.

You can view complete information about the subsidy allocation, including its amount and the period of allocation, in your personal account on the website of electronic services of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in the "My Subsidy" section.

As noted by lawyer Konstantin Sklyar from Winner Partners LLC, in 2025, subsidies are expected to be granted for the duration of the heating season. The subsidy amount is calculated starting from the month when the documents were submitted.

It should be noted that documents for housing subsidies can be submitted in any convenient way:

  • in person, by visiting the service center of the Pension Fund of Ukraine;
  • by mail to the address of the territorial body of the Fund;
  • online through the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund of Ukraine or the mobile application "Pension Fund".

"If the documents are submitted by November 30 (inclusive), the subsidy is granted from the beginning of the heating period; for applications submitted from December 1, it is granted from the month in which the application was made," the Pension Fund adds.

Subsidy-2025: Who Can Apply for Assistance

In January 2025, those eligible for utility payments may include:

  • residents registered at the property;
  • tenants with a valid rental agreement;
  • internally displaced persons (IDPs);
  • individual builders.

Additionally, the maximum allowable amount for one-time expenses that may hinder the receipt of a subsidy has recently been increased. This amount is now 100,000 UAH. If the expenses were for a generator or other energy equipment, the maximum amount is 150,000 UAH.

Starting January 1, 2025, when submitting documents, the family's income for the second and third quarters of 2024 will be taken into account, and pension income for November 2024. The subsidy may be canceled if the applicant does not report changes in their property or social status.

The subsidy may be canceled if the applicant does not report changes in their property or social status.

Even in the event of intensified power outages in January, the subsidy amount will remain unchanged. This is because the assistance calculation is based on social consumption norms, and a decrease in the actual volume of electricity usage does not affect the subsidy amount.

The government has noted that supporting the population remains one of the key objectives of state policy. Accordingly, new state mechanisms are planned to be implemented to ensure fair distribution of subsidies aimed at helping those most in need of support.
