Supplement to the pension in the Chernobyl nuclear power plant zone

The following persons are entitled to such a pension supplement:

• pensioners living in one of the zones of radioactive contamination (according to the List of settlements classified as zones of radioactive contamination as a result of the Chernobyl disaster);

• pensioners who do not officially work;

• pensioners who have the appropriate identity card of a person who suffered as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

According to the conclusions of the Supreme Court (case No. 580/2371/20), the reinstatement of Art. 39 of Law No. 796, as amended until January 1, 2015, does not grant the right to receive a pension increase in the amount of one minimum wage to unemployed pensioners who live in the territory that belonged to the zone of enhanced radioecological control.

That is, in accordance with the norms of the current legislation and the established judicial practice of the Supreme Court, pensioners who meet all the above requirements, but live in the so-called "4th zone" are not entitled to such an additional payment
