Pension Reform 2025: Who Will Receive Payments Under the New Rules.
Ukrainians of pensionable age can receive both a pension and state social assistance, but both types of payments have different conditions. In 2025, it will be possible to retire at the age of 60. To do this, it is necessary to have a certain insurance record: at 60 years - at least 32 years, at 63 years - at least 22 years, and at 65 years - at least 15 years.
According to inkorr.com: The old-age pension starts to be paid on the day after the required age is reached, provided that the person applies for it no later than three months from the moment the right arises. Payments can be made based on the submitted application or automatically if there is insurance data before 2004.
Those who do not have sufficient work experience may qualify for state social assistance. The amount of such assistance is determined as the difference between the minimum subsistence level and the average income of the family for the last six months but does not exceed established limits.
To receive social assistance, one must contact the social protection authority at their place of residence and submit an application, passport, registration number of the taxpayer's account, and a declaration of income and property status.
Guaranteed Payments for Ukrainians of Pensionable Age
The main condition for receiving a pension is the appropriate insurance record. For those with an insufficient number of years of work, state social assistance is available, the amount of which depends on the family's income.
Everyone who reaches retirement age can receive assistance from the state, but for a pension, it is necessary to have the appropriate insurance record. It is also important to remember that for individuals with insufficient work years, state social assistance is provided, calculated based on family income.
Thus, Ukrainians of pensionable age have various options for support from the state, depending on their work experience. It is important to know this so as not to miss the opportunity to receive the appropriate financial payments.
