Sale of housing or cars: Ukrainians explained whether displaced persons will retain benefits.

Impact of selling a car or real estate on receiving state support for internally displaced persons

Experts assert that the sale of a car or real estate may impact the receipt of state support for internally displaced persons (IDPs). According to legislation, income from such transactions is considered part of the family's income, which may affect the assignment of various types of social assistance.

However, there are exceptions when the sale of property does not lead to the termination of social benefits. For example, income from the sale of a single car or real estate in areas of combat or temporarily occupied territories is not counted in the family’s income calculation. Additionally, property in temporarily occupied territories does not affect the receipt of housing assistance for IDPs.

• Money from sales may be excluded from income calculations if the transaction is conducted in a single instance and meets the legal requirements.
• It is important to avoid lengthy intervals between transactions, as this may lead to the inclusion of the received income in the overall family income, thereby affecting the assignment of social benefits.

However, due to exceptions and restrictions provided for by legislation, the sale of property can be carried out without changing the status of receiving social assistance for internally displaced persons (IDPs).

Conducting transactions for the sale of a car or real estate may affect the receipt of state support for internally displaced persons (IDPs). Legislation provides for exceptions, for example, income from the sale of property in temporarily occupied territories is not included in the family's income calculation. However, adhering to legal requirements during such transactions can help avoid changes in the status of receiving social assistance.
