The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained who and how can now receive social assistance instead of a pension.

State Social Assistance from the Pension Fund of Ukraine

The Pension Fund of Ukraine provides state social assistance to those without a pension and to the disabled, which is an important type of support available even without insurance experience.

Individuals aged 65 who do not have the right to a pension, or low-income citizens, can receive this assistance. Additionally, the disabled and children of deceased breadwinners may also qualify for it. The amount of assistance is determined individually based on the disability group.

To receive assistance, one needs to have a set of documents, including an application, identity proof, and an income declaration. In the event of the recipient's death, the person who carried out the burial may receive assistance for this service.

For more detailed information, one can contact the Pension Fund of Ukraine's call center.
