It is impossible to change the date of payment of a pension in Ukraine, but you can change the method of receiving funds by submitting an application to the PFU (Pension Fund of Ukraine). Payments are made from 4 to 25 of the month in accordance with the schedule.

This was reported to the PFU. The date of receiving a pension is an important point for many pensioners. However, some of them are faced with situations where the established payment schedule does not quite meet their needs.. This is especially true in cases where you need to pay utility services in a timely manner or distribute your finances in the first half of the month. Consequently, the question of changing the date of receipt of a pension arises quite often.. However, as PFU explains, this process has its own nuances and restrictions.

The pension in Ukraine is paid in accordance with the schedule, which is compiled in accordance with the territorial sections. Payments are made from the 4th to the 25th of each month. As a rule, pensioners receive funds through the post office, including delivery to their homes or to bank cards.

This schedule is fixed and determined in advance for each region, taking into account logistics capabilities and loads on postal and banking institutions. As the Pension Fund notes, the main goal of such a schedule is to ensure the timeliness and uninterrupted payments to all pensioners.

The specialists of the Pension Fund explain that pensioners may apply for a change in the method of receiving a pension. For example, go from payments through mail to a bank card or vice versa. However, to change the specific date of payment of funds, for example, from the 16th to the 5th, it is impossible. This is due to the fact that the payment date is determined by the schedule drawn up at each territorial site and changes only in cases where this is provided for by the general conditions (for example, due to holidays or technical circumstances).

The reason for the fixation of the schedule for payments of pensions is the need for the coordinated functioning of the entire system. This allows you to:.

The chief specialist of the PFU service center, Ekaterina Dybenko, during a meeting with pensioners of the Ketrisanovsky Society, explained that changing the payment date cannot be carried out due to individual requests. However, pensioners can always contact the PFU bodies to get a consultation or clarify their possibilities to change the method of obtaining funds.
