Question: I am a single mother. Will the cash compensation for the Baby Box be included in my income when determining the amount of the benefit for single mothers?
Answer: No, it will not.
The cash compensation for the Baby Box is not included in the calculation of a family's average monthly income for the purpose of determining eligibility for any type of state social assistance, in accordance with Cabinet of Ministers Resolution No. 114 of February 4, 2025. (Пенсійний фонд України)
The state benefit for single mothers is calculated as the difference between 100% of the subsistence minimum for a child of the relevant age and the average monthly family income per person.
Therefore, the Baby Box cash compensation does not affect the amount of the benefit for single mothers.
