Ukrainians can receive a pension for half a year in advance: how to arrange the payment.

In Ukraine, it is stated that people can receive a pension for six months in advance if they plan to move abroad for permanent residence.

This opportunity is provided by Article 51 of the Law of Ukraine "On Compulsory State Pension Insurance". According to this law, a pension granted in Ukraine can be paid for six months in advance before departure upon the application of the pensioner.

The pension payment is calculated from the month following the removal from the permanent residence registration. To receive such payments, citizens need to personally contact the territorial office of the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

When applying, it is necessary to provide an application of the established form, a Ukrainian citizen's passport for traveling abroad with a record of departure for permanent residence abroad, as well as a certificate of deregistration of residence in Ukraine.

The pension when moving abroad is paid by the bodies of the Pension Fund of Ukraine by crediting it to the recipient's current account.

Previously, pension expert Serhiy Korobkin spoke about changes in the pension payment rules for Ukrainians temporarily residing abroad.
