## Key Points

- The PFU pays a supplement to women who raised 5+ children until age 6; in 2026, it ranges from 908 to 1038 hryvnias depending on the child count.
- The supplement is calculated as a percentage of the subsistence minimum for incapacitated persons (2595 UAH in 2026): 35% for five children, plus 1% for each additional child.
- Funds are not credited automatically: a personal application and proof of status must be submitted to a PFU service center.
- An automatic age-based supplement (300/456/570 UAH after 70/75/80) is available concurrently.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine pays a monthly supplement to the pensions of women who have given birth to and raised five or more children until the age of six. According to RBC-Ukraine, citing the agency, these funds are not credited automatically: to receive the supplement, a pensioner must personally file an application at a Pension Fund service center. The amount of the additional payment is tied to the subsistence minimum for incapacitated persons, which is 2595 hryvnias in 2026.

### Who is eligible for the supplement and how it is calculated

Mothers who have raised at least five children until the age of six, as well as women who have officially adopted children, are entitled to the supplement. The supplement is calculated as a percentage of the subsistence minimum for incapacitated persons. For five children, a woman is credited 35% of this minimum, which in 2026 amounts to 908 hryvnias per month. For each additional child, 1% is added to the total: for six children, the supplement will be 934 hryvnias, for seven — 960 hryvnias. The maximum supplement amount — 1038 hryvnias — is received by hero-mothers with ten or more children. The procedure and amounts of payments are enshrined in the Law on Pensions for Special Merit to Ukraine.

### Which pension is the supplement added to

The supplement for raising children is not a separate pension but is accrued as an addition to the main benefit. It is added to an old-age pension, disability pension, seniority pension, or pension due to the loss of a breadwinner. Thus, the total amount received by a multi-child mother pensioner consists of the base pension and a percentage supplement depending on the number of children.

### How to apply for the supplement: application and documents

Since most supplements in Ukraine are granted upon application, money will not appear in the account automatically. A female pensioner must personally go to the nearest service center of the Pension Fund. She must carry an application and documents confirming her status as a mother of many children or the fact of official adoption. After the application is reviewed, the supplement is included in the monthly payment.

### Other supplements available to pensioners

In addition to the supplement for children, pensioners in Ukraine are eligible for an age-based supplement. After 70 years, 300 hryvnias are added to the pension, from 75 years — 456 hryvnias, and after 80 years — 570 hryvnias. The full age-based supplement is paid if the pension, including the bonus, does not exceed 10,340 hryvnias. Unlike the child supplement, the age-based bonus is generally assigned by the Pension Fund automatically, without a personal request. The agency also reminds that Ukrainians living abroad can purchase insurance tenure by concluding an electronic agreement with the Pension Fund, with a minimum monthly contribution of 1,902.34 hryvnias.
