After gaining status, Ukrainian citizens will be able to be employed under subsidized employment programs which could be used by employers. Before the Bulgarian National Radio, Deputy Minister of Social Affairs Ivan Krastev pointed out that Bulgaria's social system was already working and was ready to take over the flow of those fleeing the war. 

Assessments are currently being made of the need for specific financial support for the people and families in the country, Krastev said. According to him, they would have access, including the right to one-time assistance if necessary, after assessing their needs. 
At the governmental level, the possibility of targeted support  with a decision of the Council of Ministers is being discussed, said Deputy Minister of Labour and Social Policy Ivan Krastev.
