Ukrainian refugees to have welfare allowances cut in coming weeksUpdated: 11am. Payments to Ukrainian refugees are set to be cut within 12 weeks. The provision of State accommodation has already been limited, and these latest measures will see 12 weeks' notice given to those who'll be affected by the changes. Under the revised plan, Ukrainian refugees go to designated accommodation centres for up to 90 days and are provided with food, laundry and integration support during this time. Arrivals had previously been entitled to a jobseeker’s allowance of €220 per week and unlimited time in State accommodation.
