Is maternity leave, as well as leave to care for children up to three years old, included in the pension accumulation period? This question worries many women who are planning to retire.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
According to the explanations of representatives of the Main Department of the Pension Fund in the Donetsk region, these periods can be included in the insurance period, but only under certain conditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Standard maternity leave lasts 126 calendar days (of which 70 days are before childbirth and 56 days are after). In case of complications or the birth of several children, it can be extended to 140 or even 180 days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
During this leave, a woman receives assistance in the amount of 100% of the average monthly salary. At the same time, insurance contributions are paid during this period, which allows this leave to be taken into account in full in the insurance period.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Regarding leave to care for a child up to three years old, the issue is more complicated. The inclusion of this period depends on the availability of official payments and the status of the woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For women who cared for a child before 2004, this period can be included in the insurance period based on the birth certificate, according to the Law of Ukraine \u201cOn Pension Provision\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
If a woman worked officially, data on children are not taken into account when calculating the length of service, since the length of service is confirmed only by information on insurance contributions and a work book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After 2004, the periods when a woman received official payments for childcare or was employed (with insurance contributions paid) are included in the insurance period. This information can be found in the register of insured persons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Earlier, there were reports of changes in pension provision, and who these will affect. There was also talk of offers of rest in sanatoriums or compensation of 12 thousand UAH. In addition, there were discussions about the deficit and the expected increase in bread prices this year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
