In addition to the five valid reasons for deprivation of the subsidy, payments may be suspended in one more case.
This was reminded by the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

This is the case when a family applies for a subsidy, and then one of its members goes abroad and stays there for more than two months.
“If persons who applied for a subsidy did not notify the Pension Fund of Ukraine about the stay of any household member abroad for more than 60 days, and the subsidy was calculated taking into account this person (and the norms and standards were calculated, and income was taken into account), then the payment of the housing subsidy is terminated, and the overpaid funds are returned to the recipient,” the PFU warns.

At the same time, for a person who is actually absent for more than 60 days, social housing and communal services allowances are not accrued, and their income is not taken into account when calculating the total household income. Thus, the absence of one family member can significantly reduce the amount of assistance or even deprive them of the right to a subsidy.
In general, the law requires citizens to inform the Pension Fund of changes in family composition or financial status within 30 days. Failure to do so may result in loss of the right to a future subsidy and the need to reimburse the state for the funds received.
Therefore, experts advise families to notify in advance of any changes to avoid fines and conflicts with government agencies. Even a short-term absence of one household member beyond the permissible period can lead to financial problems and the need to return excess amounts received.
