In Ukraine, the procedure for pension payments for citizens abroad and in occupied territories has been updated.


The Cabinet of Ministers approved a new procedure for paying pensions and social compensations to citizens abroad or in occupied territories
The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has approved a new procedure for paying pensions and social compensations to citizens who are abroad or in temporarily occupied territories. This was reported by the permanent representative of the government in the Verkhovna Rada, Taras Melnychuk.
Changes concern, in particular, payments to persons who have suffered as a result of accidents at work or occupational diseases and have lost their ability to work while outside Ukraine. The previous procedure for pension payments and provision of social services to citizens residing in Crimea has been declared invalid.
The government also regulated the issue of pension appointment for Ukrainians who were unable to timely submit the necessary applications due to being in temporarily occupied territories or combat zones. In addition, changes have been made to the pension and cash aid payment procedure through current accounts in banks.
As noted, the appointment and payment of pensions to Ukrainians abroad, as well as to foreigners permanently residing in Ukraine, are carried out in accordance with the pension legislation of Ukraine, including the Law on Mandatory State Pension Insurance. Earlier, Ukrainians were warned about the verification in banks.
