Ukrainian pensioners should remember that within 10 days of any changes in their status, they are required to inform the Pension Fund of Ukraine. For example, if a pensioner is employed or dismissed from work, it is important to notify the fund, as failure to do so may result in overpayments that will need to be returned to the budget, which acts as a kind of penalty.
This is reported by Finway
This information is provided by the Pension Fund of Ukraine, and the requirement to report is established in part 2 of Article 16 of the Law of Ukraine “On Mandatory State Pension Insurance.” Failure to report or timely report employment or registration of entrepreneurial activity may lead to illegal pension payments that must be returned to the Pension Fund authorities.
How to Report Status Changes
Pensioners should notify the Pension Fund of the date of employment, dismissal, or termination of entrepreneurial activity registration by submitting an application and documents that confirm this information. These may include orders or directives regarding hiring or dismissal, an employment record book with relevant entries, civil law contracts, etc.
Recently, a resident of the village of Teresva, Ivan B., contacted the citizen service department No. 7. Since the man has difficulty moving, the service was provided at his place of residence by the chief specialist of the Tyachiv service center, Marina Pidlisna.
Online Opportunities
Applications can also be submitted online through the Pension Fund of Ukraine’s electronic services web portal (http://portal.pfu.gov.ua) or through the Unified State Web Portal of Electronic Services (Diia portal), using a qualified electronic signature.
