New regulations regarding the limitation of pension payments have come into effect in Ukraine. Now, specific categories of pensioners will be subject to special coefficients that will reduce the amount of their payments.
This was reported by the PFU.
Specifically, if a pension exceeds 23,610 hryvnias (which is more than 10 minimum pensions), reduction coefficients will be applied to it.
According to the decision of the Cabinet of Ministers, the new rules apply to representatives of special categories, including customs officers, civil servants, prosecutors, members of parliament, government officials, diplomats, researchers, journalists receiving state support, victims of the Chernobyl disaster, military personnel, and several other categories.
These changes do not affect regular pensioners receiving pensions under general legislation.
The coefficients for limiting pension payments have been introduced in accordance with the law "On the State Budget of Ukraine for 2025" and pertain to pensions awarded under special laws, including:
- The Customs Code of Ukraine,
- the laws "On the Prosecutor's Office," "On the Status of a People's Deputy of Ukraine," "On Civil Service," "On Diplomatic Service," and other regulatory acts.
The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained that these changes are aimed at regulating pension payments and ensuring fairness in their distribution.
