Instructions from a lawyer for residents of Berdychiv, Skrahlivka, and Pidhorodne. Find out how to receive one-time financial assistance, what documents to submit to the ASN, and what amounts to expect.
The Berdychiv territorial community unites over 76,000 residents. And although most of us are used to relying on our own strength, there are situations when financial support from the community becomes vital. Regardless of whether you live in the very center of Berdychiv, or Skraglivka or Pidhorodne, you have the legal right to financial assistance from the local budget.
In this article, we, the editorial staff of Ukrainian Information, together with a lawyer, will analyze how to exercise this right to financial assistance without wasting time on unnecessary information, and how to correctly contact the ASC at the address that every Berdychiv resident knows (if not, we have left it in the article below).
Who is entitled to assistance?
It is important to understand: the rights of 74,839 urban residents and 1,255 rural residents (Skraglivka, Pidhorodne) within the Berdychiv ATC are absolutely identical .
So, let’s first consider in which life situations you have every chance of receiving financial assistance from the budget?
The main reasons for applying for financial assistance in 2026:
- Serious health condition: Funds for surgery, cancer treatment, or long-term rehabilitation.
- Social protection of military personnel and veterans: Assistance to combatants and their family members.
- Difficult life circumstances: Loss of property due to fire, natural disaster, or sudden loss of the breadwinner.
- Assistance to the needy: Support for pensioners and large families, single mothers and families who are beyond the limit of financial stability.
- Assistance to pensioners

Legal basis: reference to the law
Many are embarrassed to seek help, considering it a “futile endeavor,” but the law says otherwise. In fact, this is the implementation of social programs enshrined in law, the lawyer explains:
- Community powers: According to Article 34 of the Law of Ukraine “On Local Self-Government in Ukraine” , the Berdychiv City Council has the full right to independently decide on the issue of providing assistance to its residents at the expense of its own budget, which is filled with the help of the same community residents.
- Source of funding: Provided by law by a separate Article 91 of the Budget Code of Ukraine , allowing the community to spend local budget funds for social needs, which makes these payments official, transparent, and absolutely necessary to fulfill the requirements of the Constitution of Ukraine as a legal, social state.
- Consideration terms: Your application is considered in accordance with the Law “On Citizens’ Appeals” . This guarantees you an official response within 30 days. If there is no such response, you have the right to file a complaint with the commission officials, and oblige them to conduct a review and provide a decision.
Where to go in Berdychiv? (Contacts of the Central Administrative Center)
To apply for assistance, residents of Berdychiv, Skrahlivka, and Pidhorodnei must submit a package of documents to the Administrative Services Center.
ASNAP address: Zhytomyr region, 13309, Berdychiv city, Tsentralna Square, 1. Note for residents of villages: Residents of Skraglivka and Pidhorodnei can submit documents both directly in Berdychiv and through the headman of their district.

Frequently Asked Questions about Payments (FAQ)
Can IDPs registered in Berdychiv receive assistance?
Thus, internally displaced persons who are officially registered in the territory of the Berdychiv ATC have the same rights to local assistance as local residents.
What is the maximum amount of payment? The amount is not fixed and does not provide for limits “from” and “to”. It is determined individually by a profile commission depending on the need and budget possibilities. For serious treatment, the amounts are usually much higher than for general social needs. On average, payments in Ukrainian communities range from 1,000 to 20,000 hryvnias in difficult life cases.
How to find out about the decision? After submitting the documents, social security employees will call you or send a written message to your registration address. It is also common now to receive a response by e-mail if you indicated one in the application.
