Despite the war, citizens of Ukraine continue to receive pensions and other social benefits. When assigning a pension, a person must collect a certain package of documents. These must include a salary certificate.. The Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU) told when and why a salary certificate may be needed when assigning a pension.

The PFU noted that, according to the law " Wages for this period are calculated according to the register of insured persons.

“A certificate of earnings for any 60 consecutive calendar months of work before July 1, 2000 must be submitted to the Pension Fund of Ukraine if a person after July 1, 2000 received less than five years of insurance experience,” the report says..

The PFC also explained that in other cases, a salary certificate is provided at the request of a person.

“For example, if during the period of work before July 2000 a person had a highly paid job. If in the same period there was a part-time job, it is advisable to provide certificates of earnings from all places of work, ”added the department..

You can get a salary certificate at the enterprise, institution or organization where the person applying for a pension worked, on the basis of personal accounts, payment information and other documents on accrued and paid wages.
