# Automatic recalculation of housing subsidies in Ukraine: how the payment amount will change in 2026

The Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU) is launching a new wave of automatic recalculations of housing subsidies. Citizens who receive state assistance for paying utility bills will no longer need to submit additional applications to adjust the payment amount if their financial situation has changed significantly. The system will operate automatically, responding to fluctuations in household income.

### Automatic verification mechanism

The procedure for reviewing the subsidy amount is conducted twice a year. The key condition for triggering an automatic adjustment is a change in the family's average monthly income of more than 50%. If this threshold is not exceeded, the amount of assistance remains the same. This approach aims to simplify bureaucratic procedures for citizens and ensure the accurate distribution of budget funds.

It is important to understand that the recalculation is based on income data for all members of the household. The Pension Fund analyzes the family's total earnings to determine the current need for support.

### Recalculation calendar and accounting periods

To plan their budget correctly, families need to know the deadlines for checks and the periods for which income is taken into account:

    - **March recalculation:** At this time, the PFU analyzes income for the third and fourth quarters of the previous year.

    - **August recalculation:** During this check, data for the first and second quarters of the current year are taken into account.

### How the payment amount will change

The result of the automatic check directly affects the amount of financial assistance. The scenarios for changing payments may be as follows:

    - **Income growth:** If the family's average monthly income has increased significantly (by more than 50%), the amount of the housing subsidy will be reduced.

    - **Income decline:** In the event of a significant drop in earnings, the payment may be increased to compensate for the increased financial burden.

This system allows for a flexible response to economic changes in citizens' lives, providing support to those who truly need it and redistributing resources when the financial situation of recipients improves.
