The decision approved by the National Unemployment Fund of Ukraine at the end of July says from September 1, 2014, the minimum financial aid paid to the unemployed, including those who have taken out insurance and received a low salary before being assigned the unemployed status, has increased from 937 hryvnias up to 974 hryvnias and make up 80% (instead of 76.9%) of the subsistence minimum for able-bodied persons.
