Which pensioners will receive additional payments?
In Ukraine, the amount of benefits for pensioners in need of special protection has been increased. Thus, the pension limit for receiving additional cash assistance has been increased from UAH 3,000 to UAH 3,250.
The publication reports this “Retired”. The Ministry of Social Policy, the Pension Fund and the UN World Food Program (UN WFP) have initiated a joint project designed to ensure maximum synergy in providing Ukrainian citizens with monetary support from international organizations. In particular, to support citizens living in a combat zone, having a low pension and not receiving other financial assistance from international organizations. Since August of this year, pensioners who:
live in areas of active or potential hostilities; have a pension amount of less than 3 thousand UAH. additional payment to pension) in an amount that was missing up to 3 thousand UAH. (but not less than 100 UAH). About 270 thousand pensioners receive it.
On November 24, the Government adopted a definition developed by the Ministry of Social Policy, which increases the pension limit for receiving additional cash assistance from UAH 3,000 to UAH 3,250. New conditions for receiving additional social support from WFP funds will begin to take effect in November of this year.
This means that if the pension of a pensioner who meets the above requirements is, for example, 2,400 hryvnia, then in November he will receive an additional payment in the amount of 850 hryvnia. If the pension is 3,000 hryvnia, then Ukrainians will be paid an additional 250 hryvnia; before, such a pension was not paid anything extra.
As OBOZ.UA previously wrote, in Ukraine, with a salary three times higher than the average, the pension will be only 14 thousand UAH. For most Ukrainians, this pension size is unattainable.
