In 2026, Ukrainian pensioners can expect a new increase in pension payments and additional allowances. This information is provided in the government’s Budget Declaration.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the plans, the minimum pension will increase from the current 2,361 hryvnias to 2,564 hryvnias, and the maximum pension will increase by more than 2,000 hryvnias. The allowance for overtime insurance service will also be revised: for each year of service over 35 years, the payment will not be 23.61 hryvnias, but 25.64 hryvnias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These changes are included in the Budget Declaration for 2026, but they will be finally approved only after the adoption of the state budget by the Verkhovna Rada. The authorities intend to move in the direction of such increases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition to the basic increase, pension indexation is also planned for March 2026, although the exact amount of the increase has not yet been determined. The Basics announce that guaranteed payments for people over 65 with whole insurance experience will increase from 3200 to 3475.2 hryvnias.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
However, despite the planned increase, the average pension will remain below the actual subsistence minimum, which may create difficulties for many Ukrainian pensioners in covering basic expenses.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, there were reports of problems with the indexation of pensions from the Pension Fund, which also need to be corrected. Information also appeared about social assistance for people over 60, but details are still pending.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
