It is provided to households that meet specific criteria. However, to continue receiving the subsidy, certain conditions must be adhered to.
Reasons for Subsidy Cancellation
One of the primary reasons for halting payments is outstanding utility bills. If the debt exceeds 680 hryvnias and remains unpaid for three months, the subsidy may be canceled.
However, this is not the only reason for the cessation of government assistance. Other factors that may lead to the loss of the subsidy include:
- Death of the main recipient – the subsidy is issued to a specific individual, so payments cease upon their death.
- Change of residence – assistance is tied to a specific address, so a move requires reapplying for the subsidy.
- Undeclared income – if it is found that the family did not declare all their income, the subsidy may be reviewed or canceled.
- Expensive purchases – if any household member makes a purchase exceeding 100,000 hryvnias, this may result in the termination of payments.
What is Considered a Major Purchase?
Purchases over 100,000 hryvnias include not only the acquisition of real estate, vehicles, or appliances. This category also encompasses:
- purchase of foreign currency;
- investments in precious metals;
- opening a deposit account for the corresponding amount.
How to Avoid Losing the Subsidy?
To maintain eligibility for the subsidy, it is necessary to:
- Pay utility bills on time and avoid accumulating debts.
- Notify about any change of residence and promptly reapply for the subsidy.
- Accurately declare all household income.
- Avoid major purchases if government assistance is anticipated.
