In Ukraine, problems can arise with the payment of pensions until the end of the year. This is due to the fact that the Pension Fund budget is in deficit, and the debt on the payment of a one-time social contribution already amounts to 20.5 billion hryvnia.
This was reported by the press service of the Rada Committee for Social Policy and Protection of Veterans’ Rights.
“The Fund’s budget continues to be in deficit. In 2021, the state budget expenditures on financial support for the payment of pensions, allocations and increases to pensions allocated within the framework of pension programs, and the deficit of the Pension Fund will rise to UAH 203.8 billion, “said Galina Tretyakova, head of the relevant parliamentary commission. …
At the same time, according to her, this year the Treasury cannot make loans to the Fund at the end of the budget period, because as of September 1, the amount of arrears in the payment of a one-time social contribution amounted to 20.5 billion UAH. And then the Fund may face risks associated with paying pensions.
According to Tretyakova, the state does not yet have full control over the Pension Fund, despite constantly subsidizing it.
At the same time, the Pension Fund itself declares that they continue with the September pension payments.
“1.7 billion hryvnias were allocated for the payment of pensions. Pension financing was provided in September for a total of 35.1 billion hryvnias, which is 88.9% of the needs for the month,” it was reported.
Recall, “Strana” wrote about how and for whom pensions will be recalculated next year.
We also report that starting in 2021, retirees aged 75 and 80 will receive a supplement of 400 and 500 hryvnia.
