In Ukraine, an additional payment has been introduced for pensioners aged 65 and older: how much can be received.

The PFC website reports that Ukrainian pensioners over the age of 65 can expect an additional payment to their pension.

According to the pension provision system in Ukraine, pensioners who reach 65 years of age are granted special conditions. Women need to have 30 years of work experience to receive a pension at 65, while men need 35 years.

The law stipulates that these pensioners should receive 40% of the minimum wage, which amounts to 3200 hryvnias. The actual pension amounts to 3370 hryvnias.

In case a pensioner receives an amount lower than the established minimum, the state adds the difference to ensure that the payment meets the minimum level.

Additionally, pensioners are provided with extra pension supplements based on their age:

• Pensioners aged 70-74 - 300 hryvnias
• Pensioners aged 75-79 - 456 hryvnias
• Pensioners aged 80 and older - 570 hryvnias

These additional payments help support the older generation by increasing pension payments with age. They are assigned automatically without the need to apply to the relevant authorities.

It is worth noting that pensioners must also re-register their subsidies if they belong to the categories that require this.
