In Ukraine, since 2000, when calculating pensions, the period of service in the army and training in institutions of higher education were no longer considered. Only those for whom the employer paid contributions to the Pension Fund can prove seniority when calculating a pension for this period.
The Minister of Social Policy, Marina Lazebnaya, announced it on the air of the Hromadske radio. “Until the year 2000, both military service and training in higher education institutions are taken into account. But since 2000, the system has been built in this way, the length of service is taken into account only if it is they have paid the insurance premiums for him. Solidarity insurance system “, explained the minister.
As a result, it will be more difficult for those who began to work actively after 2000 to obtain the necessary length of service. At the moment, according to the minister, 1.8 million people receive a pension of up to 2,000 UAH in Ukraine. Most of them don’t have enough experience.
“When we arrived in 2020, it was 4.2 million people who received a pension of up to 2 thousand hryvnias. Therefore, we transferred most of it for this shameful line. And in the future we are working on this,” Lazebnaya said.
As OBOZREVATEL reported, as of July 1, the subsistence minimum for the disabled will be increased by 85 UAH. As a result, the minimum pension will increase by 85 UAH to 1,854 UAH, and the maximum pension – from 850 UAH to 18,540 UAH.
