Pensioners aged 65 and older introduced a pension supplement: what amount to expect.


Ukraine has a pension system that provides assistance to elderly citizens. Special attention is given to pensioners who have reached the age of 65. The country's laws stipulate that women with 30 years of work experience and men with 35 years of experience are entitled to a pension of 40% of the minimum wage.
According to the PFU, the actual amount of pension payments for 65-year-old citizens with experience above the established minimum is 3370 hryvnias. The minimum wage in Ukraine is 8000 hryvnias, so pensions should be at least 3200 hryvnias.
The state provides a special supplement for pensioners who fall short of the minimum pension amount. This supplement is automatically added to the pension and is determined by the difference between the actual pension amount and the guaranteed amount by law.
In addition, Ukrainian pensioners receive additional payments by age. For citizens aged 70 to 74, this supplement is 300 hryvnias, for those aged 75 to 79 - 456 hryvnias, and for the age category from 80 years old - 570 hryvnias.
All these bonuses are provided automatically, which allows pensioners to avoid contacting the relevant authorities. This approach is aimed at creating an effective and convenient social security system that meets the needs of the older generation.
