The PFU representative noted that part 1 of Article 24 of the Law “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance” dated 09. 07. 2003 No. 1058-IV stipulates that the insurance period is the period (period) during which a person is subject to compulsory state pension insurance and for which monthly insurance premiums are paid in an amount not less than the minimum insurance premium.

" 01. 2004, the insurance period is calculated according to personalized records, and for the period before the entry into force of this law No. 1058 - on the basis of documents and in the manner determined by the legislation previously in force (the basis is a work book or other documents confirming periods of work, study, military service, child care and others),"

Ostanovskaya emphasized that the insurance experience acquired before January 1, 2004 is confirmed by the work book and documents determined by the resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers dated 12. 08. 1993 No. 637 "

She added that information about the existing insurance experience can be seen in the “General insurance experience” tab of the “Insurance data available in RSO” tab of the main page of the user profile of the PFU electronic services web portal.

Also, information about your existing insurance experience can be obtained from certificates OK-5, OK-7 by ordering them from the Fund, in your personal account on the PFU web portal or through the Diya mobile application.
