The Pension Fund introduces new identification rules: who risks payment cessation.

Identification for beneficiaries of social assistance

The Pension Fund of Ukraine has announced the necessity of undergoing the identification procedure for all beneficiaries of state social assistance by November 1, 2025. This applies to low-income families, orphans, persons with disabilities, and other categories of recipients. The procedure is aimed at preventing fraud and ensuring the stability of payments. It is mandatory according to the resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine.

If recipients do not undergo the procedure in time, it may lead to the suspension of payments.

All information and options for undergoing identification are available on the official website of the Pension Fund of Ukraine or in the personal cabinet. The identification procedure is an important step towards improving the social payment system in Ukraine. It will help not only to reduce the risks of fraud but also to ensure that assistance reaches those who truly need it. All recipients are advised to familiarize themselves with the requirements in advance and plan time for undergoing identification to avoid interruptions in payments.
