According to current regulations, retirees receive additional payments upon reaching certain age milestones: 70, 75, and 80 years old.
Individuals aged 70 receive a monthly payment of 300 hryvnias added to their pension. This process occurs automatically, as the Pension Fund determines eligibility for pension benefits based on the data already available in its system.
Retirees do not need to submit any applications. However, it is important to note that this supplement is available only to retirees whose total pension does not exceed 10,340.35 hryvnias.
In addition to financial support, retirees over 70 can also take advantage of several additional social programs, including:
Subsidies for utility and housing payments, adjusted according to an individual's income level.
Free or discounted legal services that provide access to legal assistance.
Free public transportation.
Exemption from land tax for plots up to 2 hectares depending on their designated use.
These measures aim to enhance the quality of life for elderly citizens by providing both financial aid and additional resources.
