In the first 6 month of this year, the Social Fund's client offices provided over 100,000 services thanks to every last Sunday of a month being an extra working day. That format is especially convenient for working people who might find it difficult to visit client offices on weekdays.
In August, you can visit the Social Fund on the 29th, which is Saturday. Client can use the online service or call the call center (8-800-10-000-01, free of charge) to make an appointment. Operators will clarify the day of the visit and inform the caller about available time slots.
Weekend visits are one of the Social Fund's priority areas when it comes to making public services more accessible. Thanks to extra service days in the end of each months, the Fund's branches are able to reduce their weekday workload and cut down clients' waiting times.
For reference the majority of the Fund’s services are provided extraterritorially, i. e., regardless of a person’s place of residence. That means that assistance is available at nearly every client office. Visitors can also claim all benefits they are entitled to at the same time, not only the specific benefit they are applying for.
