I was taking care of my neighbour, who was a person with a childhood disability. He has recently passed away. Can I receive funeral assistance?
✅ Yes, you can.
🔰 In the event of the death of a person with a childhood disability, their family member or the person who arranges the funeral is entitled to, at their choice, either funeral assistance in the amount of two months of the state social assistance assigned under the Law of Ukraine “On State Social Assistance to Persons with Disabilities from Childhood and to Children with Disabilities”, or funeral assistance/reimbursement of burial expenses in accordance with other legal acts.
ℹ️ To apply for funeral assistance, a family member of the deceased or the person who arranged the burial must submit:
▫️ an application;
▫️ a death certificate issued by a civil registry office, an executive body of a village, settlement, or city council, or a consular institution or diplomatic mission of Ukraine.
📄 The application for funeral assistance and unpaid social benefits is submitted to the Pension Fund of Ukraine, regardless of the applicant’s registered or declared place of residence.
❗️ Funeral assistance is paid regardless of the time when the application is submitted.
