OREANDA-NEWS. September 09, 2015. In the amendments to the State Budget it is offered to allocate an additional sum worth UAH 56 million to pay bonuses to social department employees who deal with assigning subsidies and who are now subjected to heavy workload, said Prime Minister of Ukraine Arseniy Yatsenyuk during an extended meeting of the Government with participation of President of Ukraine Petro Poroshenko and Chairman of the Verkhovna Rada of Ukraine Volodymyr Groysman on Tuesday, September 8.

He noted that Ukrposhta is also engaged in the process of assigning housing subsidies. According to Arseniy Yatsenyuk, this institution "has allocated 2 million as the reward fund for their employees that help us to issue housing subsidies".

The Prime Minister also stressed that the previous year the subsidies had been paid to 450 thousand households, while this year their number reached already 2.7 million: "We expect at least another 2 million households will come for subsidies".

It is envisaged UAH 24.5 in the budget to provide subsidies, he said.

Another UAH 5.9 billion is the sum envisaged in the amendments to the State Budget to compensate for the difference in tariffs: "The dollar rose in the start of the year, so the tariffs hiked. The state undertook the responsibility to recompense for the difference in tariffs through rise in the dollar".

"We have designed a system to have an opportunity to compensate for the loss of money," added the Head of Government.
