Payments increase: how to get a bonus for delaying retirement.

The Government of Ukraine has announced that pensioners who continue to work after reaching retirement age will be able to receive a higher pension.

According to information from the Cabinet of Ministers, the amount of the pension bonus will depend on the length of work after reaching retirement age. If you continue to work for 60 months, pensioners will receive a bonus of 0.5% for each month worked after retirement age.

If work continues for more than 60 months, the bonus will be 0.75% per month.

For example, for one year of work after retirement age, the pension will increase by 6%, for two years - by 12%, and for six years - by 54%.

To receive an increased pension, you need to contact the Pension Fund of Ukraine. Pension payments will be made from the first day of the month following the submission of the application.

We also remind you about the minimum pension in November: how much Ukrainian pensioners will receive.
