Early retirement was abolished in 2015. But in February 2022, the Law of Ukraine No. 2040-IX “On Amendments to Certain Laws of Ukraine on Improving Pension Legislation” was adopted, which restored this provision.

To take advantage of the right to early retirement, you must meet several important conditions.

Five things you need to do to retire early.

On the day of dismissal from work, a person should remain no more than one and a half years before reaching retirement age (60 years, defined by Art.. 26 of the Law of Ukraine "

A prerequisite for the appointment of such a pension is the existence of an insurance period necessary for the appointment of an old-age pension in the minimum amount.. For men it is 35 years, for women it is 30 years..

Dismissal should take place at the initiative of the employer, based on changes in working conditions.

This is provided only for persons whose employment contract has been terminated due to changes in the organization of production and labor, including liquidation, reorganization, bankruptcy, re-profiling of an enterprise, institution, organization, reduction in the number or staff of employees.

A person must register with the state employment service, and there must be no suitable job for him.

Please note that without the need to register with the state employment service, the right to early retirement is granted to persons dismissed at the initiative of the employer due to the employee's inadequacy of the position for health reasons.

And one more important nuance, if a pensioner works during the period of reaching retirement age, early pension will not be paid.

Also, Ukrainian legislation provides for some categories of citizens who can retire earlier. At the end of last year, another category of people had such an opportunity.. Namely, those who cannot perform their work duties due to health conditions.
