Despite the war, Ukrainians continue to receive pensions and other social benefits. Indexation of pensions by 20% is expected in March 2023. Mikhail Tsymbalyuk, First Deputy Chairman of the Committee on Social Policy and Protection of Veterans' Rights, told Hromadskom Radio who will not receive an increase in pensions in March.

Who will not receive a pension increase.

Ukraine plans to index pensions in March, but not everyone will receive an increase in payments.

According to Tsymbalyuk, citizens who use the law on national pension insurance and receive an old-age pension, a minimum pension, persons with disabilities, pensioners-liquidators of accidents at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant will receive an increase.

“So far, military pensioners, those who receive a scientific pension and pensioners-civil servants will not receive an increase. Now there is a discussion, but it is these categories of citizens who use special laws that do not provide for indexation,” he explained..

According to him, the budget for this year gave the right to regulate all these payments subject to the availability of funds..

“Speech is about 7.5 million pensioners. This is a large number. The decision made allows the Pension Fund to carry out a professional recalculation in time and so that pensioners receive an increased pension for March,” he explained..

How much will the pension increase?.

Tsymbalyuk added that the recalculation of pensions will be carried out individually, taking into account the length of service, the average salary in which the person retired.

“Some will be disappointed when they receive an increased pension by UAH 200, and some by 500-600. These are small funds for citizens, but in general for the state a large amount.. The length of service, in which year the person applied for a pension, will be taken into account, ”he concluded..
