Changes to Benefit Payments in Yakutia coming in May
Get ready for some seriously epic extended weekends in Yakutia next year! According to the local Labor Ministry, May 2025 will see us basking in holiday glory for a significant chunk of the month. Here's what's in store:
First up, we've got a long weekend from May 1st to the 4th, celebrating none other than Labor Day. The party doesn't stop there, though! From May 8th to the 11th, we'll be honoring Victory Day and the rescheduling of the February 23rd holiday, so hang on to those party hats and parade decorations!
The last working day in April, the 30th, will be a short one, with a one-hour wrap-up to make way for the upcoming festivities.
Now, here's a fun fact for you: due to these holidays, federal benefits from the Social Fund will be arriving a day early, on April 30th. This includes the unified benefit, payments for non-working parents with kids under 1.5 years, and benefits for the first child up to three years old. As for May, no payments will be made on the 3rd, with the next one scheduled for June 3rd.
On the regional social benefits front, those usually land on the 10th but will be paid early, on May 7th. If you've got queries about social benefits, there's a free hotline available at 8-800-100-001 for all your consultation needs.
