The Pension Fund of Ukraine showed who can now increase their future pension.

The Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine emphasizes that it is important to be officially employed and to pay the single social contribution for a decent pension.

'If a person receives unofficial income and does not pay the SSC, then they do not accumulate insurance experience. This directly affects the amount of future pension,' the Ministry of Social Policy emphasizes.

Since March 2023, Ukrainians can pay voluntary insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of Ukraine through online services to ensure their pension security. This process is simple and accessible through the PFU electronic services web portal.

To pay voluntary contributions, you need to log in to the PFU portal and select the appropriate option in the "Communications with PFU" section. After confirming personal data and giving consent for their processing, you can make a payment.

Interestingly, the system allows to pay contributions not only for oneself but also for other individuals by providing their personal data.

This initiative is especially important for citizens who work unofficially or have additional sources of income from which SSC is not paid. Thus, the state provides the opportunity to independently ensure future pension provision, regardless of current employment status.

Earlier, the PFU explained how periods from 1998 to 2024 are taken into account for pension insurance experience.
