The Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine presented two new services for internally displaced persons at the Diia Summit, which took place today in Kyiv. The services were developed with the support of UNDP in Ukraine and the Government of Sweden in the framework of the DIA Support Project.
From now on, internally displaced persons can submit electronic applications on the Diia portal to prolong or terminate monthly targeted assistance provided to cover their living expenses, including housing and communal services.
It will now be possible to prolong or terminate the assistance by submitting an electronic application – provided there have been no changes in their circumstances that may affect the assigning of assistance. Until now, internally displaced persons had to collect supporting documents every six months in order to prolong the assistance or to notify the government of changes in their circumstances, and terminate it. Now it is enough to notify the government either that there are no changes in the supporting documents, or that there is a need to terminate the payments, sign with an electronic signature, and send the application via the portal.
