Ukraine's Pension Fund takes on the search for work experience: how the new law will save pensions for those who lost documents

Politics 08/07/2026, 08:44
🇺🇦 The Pension Fund of Ukraine is now obliged to search for work experience for citizens itself! A new law, which came into force in August 2026, changes the rules of the game: the state takes on the search for documents for those who lost them due to the war or worked at destroyed enterprises. 📄 ✅ If the employer submitted reporting but did not pay contributions — the work experience will be credited. ✅ PFU checks registries and helps gather documents. ✅ The "philanthropic pension" mechanism is working for direct assistance. This is real help for millions who have returned from occupied territories. #Pensions #Ukraine #SocialGuarantees
