The issue of subsidy assignment is always relevant. Mainly due to frequent legislative and regulatory additions and changes regarding assignments. Currently, citizens are particularly interested in rumors about changes in legislation that provide for subsidies in monetary form. The head of the subsidy department of the city executive committee, Zoya Menshykova, explained the situation at a meeting of the "Lutsk European" press club, as well as other issues that citizens most often address. According to Zoya Menshykova, subsidies in monetary form are indeed being paid in 20 cities of Ukraine, but under experimental conditions. Residents have the right to decide for themselves whether or not to participate in such an experiment. It is characteristic that there are those dissatisfied with the payment of subsidies in monetary form. Lutsk was not included in the list of cities where such an experiment is being conducted, given that cities with small populations were involved. However, in any case, if the experiment becomes the norm, the monetary form of subsidies does not relieve their recipients of the need to submit documents for assignment. This was particularly emphasized. The head of the subsidy department of the Lutsk city executive committee also clarified that in the future, the right to receive subsidies in the amount of 15% of the total aggregate family income will be available only to those families that include disabled children or persons with disabilities of groups I and II, provided that the income per family member does not exceed 50% of the subsistence minimum for citizens. All other citizens who are entitled to benefits pay them in the amount of 20% of the total family income. Currently, 8,893 Lutsk residents receive subsidies for housing and communal services. For comparison, last year approximately 11,000 received subsidies. The decrease in the number of granted subsidies is explained by the increase in citizens' incomes, as well as unchanged tariffs for housing and communal services. However, according to Zoya Menshykova, since tariff increases are expected, primarily for gas, the number of families entitled to receive subsidies will also increase. After all, subsidy calculations are reviewed centrally only when tariffs for housing and communal services change. The amount of pension or salary is taken into account only at the time of subsidy assignment, and when they change, the amount of assigned subsidies is not reviewed. Therefore, pensioners who applied for subsidies, for example, in December, have a larger amount than those who declared their desire to use subsidies in January: in December, pensioners received pension supplements that were not taken into account when receiving subsidies; in January, it was the full pension. Finally, the head of the subsidy department emphasized that one should not independently calculate whether a subsidy "works out" and what its amount is. It is best to contact the department's specialists.
