On January 27, 2023, the government website of the Netherlands published a new memo on payments to Ukrainian refugees. The memo is also available in Ukrainian.

The amount of food allowance will depend on the composition of the family:

  • A family of 1-2 people will receive 215,06 euros per month for an adult or unaccompanied child, a minor will receive 142,57 euros.
  • Family of 3 - 171,99 euros per month for an adult and 142,57 euros for a minor.
  • Family of 4 or more people - 150,45 euros per adult, 124,97 euros per child.

Previously, every refugee, regardless of age, received 205 euros per month for food.

Important! If you live in a municipal shelter, the municipality may decide to feed you directly. In this case, you will not receive cash payments for meals.

Payments for clothing and other needs will amount to 56,12 euros per month (was 55 euros).

When Ukrainian refugees live in families, the host family will receive assistance from the state in the amount of 93 euros per month per refugee. Previously, this allowance was 215 euros per adult and 55 euros per child per month. 

Important! From February 1, if at least one member of a family of Ukrainian refugees (aged 18 and over) gets a job or receives other state benefits (for unemployment, disability, etc.), the entire family is deprived of the right to the payments described above. It should be noted that working or receiving state benefits is more profitable than having payments intended for refugees.

About the plans of the Dutch government to change payments to refugees from Ukraine, we already wrote previously. Now these plans are being implemented.

There are many other benefits in the Netherlands, primarily for children, to which Ukrainians are entitled. Seek advice to specialists Nalog.nl.
