The government strengthens checks on Chernobyl victims: who will lose pension supplements.

According to inkorr.com: The Government of Ukraine has decided to take additional measures to verify pensioners, especially those affected by the Chernobyl disaster, to confirm their right to receive pension supplements. This became known from a video by a well-known author of the YouTube channel 'People's Opinion', who reviewed changes in government policy.

According to the new regulation, temporary commissions will be formed in different regions of Ukraine, which will verify documents confirming citizens' residence in radioactively contaminated areas over a specified period, as required by law.

Details of the checks

The necessity to create these commissions is related to the fact that they will begin their activities in several regions of Ukraine. The main focus will be on confirming the residence of individuals in evacuation zones or guaranteed resettlement areas from 1986 to 1993.

'This commission will monitor Chernobyl victims who have problems with payments due to the lack of documents about their residence,' explains the host of the channel.

The purpose and reasons for creating the commissions

The introduction of such a mechanism has become necessary as many 'Chernobyl victims' have lost their right to supplements due to the lack of confirmation of their permanent residence in contaminated areas for various reasons, such as education or service obligations. The commissions will work on collecting documents to resolve these issues and restore pension payments.

Strengthening control over payments

This regulation is part of the strategy to modernize control over social and pension payments. The government aims to structure the payment system and define who receives supplements, especially among those who are abroad or in temporarily occupied territories. The main goal is to restore justice for those who unjustly lost pension benefits in the past.

Thus, the government regulation on implementing additional verification mechanisms for pensioners affected by the Chernobyl disaster aims to confirm their right to pension supplements. Commissions will verify documents and confirm the presence of people in radioactively contaminated areas, as well as help restore pension payments for those who lost this right in the past.
