Despite the war, Ukraine continues to pay pensions and other social benefits. Women of some professions, in particular milkmaids, have the right to retire earlier if they have the necessary amount of insurance experience.

Why may not be enough preferential experience.

In Ukraine, women who worked as milkmaids are entitled to a pension upon reaching the age of 55 with at least 20 years of experience in this work (subject to the fulfillment of established service standards). Previously, such pensions were assigned at the age of 50, but in 2015 the requirements for seniority were tightened..

Korobkin noted that work on a collective farm is counted in full length of service only if the minimum labor participation is met..

For example, if a person in some year worked 150 workdays, and the norm was 200, then only 150 days will be included in the experience. If, on the contrary, a person works at least 200 workdays this year, then the entire year will be credited to the experience - calendar.

Can a milkmaid retire by age?.

For example, a woman in 1963 who worked as a milkmaid from 1978 to 2001 can retire at 60 that year if she has at least 30 years of service..

The next opportunity to apply for an old-age pension will be upon reaching the age of 63 - in 2026 and with an experience of 23 to 33 years.

Korobkin explained that if at that time a woman who worked as a milkmaid cannot confirm such a length of service, then she will be assigned a social pension no earlier than 65 years old..
