What requirements must be met to receive a pension? What is necessary ...?

According to Article 28 of the Law of Ukraine "On Mandatory State Pension Insurance", the minimum age pension is established if there is an insurance period of at least 35 years for men and 30 years for women, at the level of the subsistence minimum for persons who have lost their ability to work.

The total length of service is important for the appointment of a pension, a pension supplement, and for the provision of certain types of benefits. Ukrainian legislation establishes that seniority includes any work in which the employee was subject to state social insurance.

Currently, in order to retire at the age of 60, residents of Ukraine must have at least 29 years of insurance experience.

How much service is required for a pension in 2023:

• Those who, after reaching the age of 60, do not have sufficient insurance experience (at least 30 years), will have the right to a pension at the age of 63 if they have at least 20 years of experience.

• Ukrainians who have accumulated 15 to 20 years of insurance experience will start receiving pension payments at the age of 65.

• If a person has less than 15 years of experience, then when he turns 65, he will have the right to receive state social assistance instead of pension payments.
