The Cabinet of Ministers approved a resolution simplifying the payment mechanism in case of disability or death of Ukrainian servicemen.
This is stated in the government resolution.
In order to receive financial assistance in case of injury or death of a serviceman, it is necessary to submit an application to the Ministry of Veterans Affairs. It can be filled out and sent in electronic or paper form, as well as through the state application “Diya”.
The decision on the appointment and payment of one-time cash assistance will be made by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs. The funds of the one-time monetary assistance will be deposited by the Ministry of Veterans Affairs into the recipient’s bank account.
In the case of death (death), the amount of one-time cash benefit in case of death (death) of a military person is 750 subsistence minimums.
Currently, the subsistence minimum is 3,028 hryvnias. That is, the payment is 2 million 271 thousand hryvnias.
The amount of one-time cash assistance in case of disability due to injury, contusion, mutilation or illness will depend on the disability group:
- Group I – 400 subsistence minimums (1.21 million hryvnias);
- II group – 300 subsistence minimums (908 thousand hryvnias);
- Group III – 250 subsistence minimums (757 thousand hryvnias).
At the same time, during martial law, the minimum payment is paid in the event of the death of a soldier in the line of duty with the execution of combat tasks cannot be less than UAH 15 million. Considering that 750 subsistence minimums are less than 15 million hryvnias, in fact, the amount of the payment will not change and will amount to 15 million hryvnias during martial law.
Updated. In the previous version of the news, the headline sounded like this: “The government has established a new amount of payments for the death or injury of military personnel.” In fact, the government only simplified the mechanism for assigning payments by decree.
