Pension can significantly increase - what Ukrainians need to do.

Ukrainians can now expect higher pension payments thanks to new changes in legislation. The initiative allows for avoiding a decrease in pension by not accounting for months with minimal incomes due to the war.

Main changes for Ukrainians

According to the amendment to the Law 'On Mandatory State Pension Insurance' (№2506-IX), citizens can apply for the exclusion of certain periods from the pension calculation - especially concerning the months of martial law.

Another important aspect is that the insurance record for these periods remains unchanged, ensuring the preservation of pension rights.

Methods to increase pensions

The new rules also provide additional opportunities for increasing the amount of pensions. For example, citizens can choose the optimal periods from a financial advantage perspective for calculating the average salary.

There is also the possibility of considering certain data from the past, such as salary before a certain date, which can also positively affect citizens' pension payments.

Ukrainian citizens now have the opportunity to receive larger pension payments thanks to new legislative changes that contribute to increasing the amount of pensions by not accounting for months with minimal incomes due to wartime. Additional rules also provide the opportunity to influence the calculation of average salaries and the consideration of additional data from the past to increase pension payments.
