If, as a pensioner, I am mistakenly credited with excess pension amounts because I did not report a change in my place of residence, will I be required to return these amounts and can they be recovered through legal proceedings?

In accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance”, pensioners are obliged to notify the PFU of the following changes:
passports;
surnames;
contact details;
bank details;
employment/dismissal, opening/closing of business activities.
According to pension legislation, pensioners must report these changes within ten days.
You can do this:
by contacting the Pension Fund service center independently;
by sending a registered letter to the PFU address;
remotely through the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund of Ukraine;
through the employer (for employment-related changes).
