The Law of Ukraine No. 5300 “On Granting Assistance to Insured Persons During the Period of Implementation of the Restrictive Anti-Epidemic Measures Introduced to Prevent the Spread of the Acute Respiratory Disease Covid-19 Caused by the Coronavirus Sars-Cov-2” provides for the granting of one-time financial assistance (in the amount of 8,000 UAH) from the State Budget to insured employees (for whom the unified social contribution has been paid in full) hired by economic subjects, and individual entrepreneurs – who had to stop working temporarily as a result of the additional anti-epidemic measures.
Local self-government bodies will be allowed also to make compensation payments from the local budgets to persons negatively affected by the additional restrictions.
The Law stipulates that “the Insured has the right to apply for benefits within 30 days from the date of introduction in the relevant administrative-territorial unit of additional restrictive anti-epidemic measures related to the spread of coronavirus disease (COVID-19).”
The law is sent for signature to the President of Ukraine.
