Will receive 500, 800 or 1300 UAH: which pensioners will receive additional financial assistance?

Ukraine plans to update its monthly pension payment system. Some citizens may receive additional payments of 500, 800, or 1,300 UAH.

Kremenchuk is preparing to revise the procedure for providing financial assistance to the oldest residents. According to the new draft decision, Ukrainians aged 90 or older will be eligible to receive this scholarship, provided they are registered with the Kremenchuk city territorial community. Internally displaced persons who are registered with social services can also count on assistance.

The amount of monthly payments will be determined depending on the age of the recipient:

for persons aged 90 to 94 — 500 UAH;
for persons aged 95 to 99 — 800 UAH;
for persons aged 100 and older — 1,300 UAH.
Changes to the payment amount will take effect on the first day of the month following the pensioner’s birthday.

To apply for assistance, you must submit an application to the Center for Administrative Services (CASS) or the district social protection department. Payments will be credited to the recipient’s bank account or through JSC “Ukrposhta”.

Payment of assistance will be terminated if the pensioner changes his place of residence outside the community, or upon his death.

Earlier, it became known about the possibility of receiving an allowance of about 5,000 UAH for a specific category of pensioners, and the Pension Fund of Ukraine also announced an update on payments for working pensioners. In particular, new cash benefits are planned for pensioners, who will also receive information about the amount and schedule of payments.
