#Social Payments

In 2026, non-working Chornobyl pensioners receive a monthly allowance of 2,595 hryvnias subject to strict residency criteria.

Some Ukrainian military pensioners can receive UAH 1,297.50 monthly for each dependent. Strict conditions must be met to be eligible for this payment.

IDPs who have not received their September 2026 benefits can check the status of assistance through the Pension Fund. New rules provide automatic extension but require compliance with income criteria.

Pensioners from occupied territories must inform the PFU about no payments from Russia, otherwise pensions will stop. Online, video, and mail options are available.

After the death of a pensioner with special merits to Ukraine, a supplement of 20 to 40% of the subsistence minimum is received only by non-working family members. The clarification is based on the law on pensions for special merits.

The draft 2027 State Budget sets a minimum wage of 9,546 hryvnia and a subsistence minimum of 3,691 hryvnia, which will change the limits for sole proprietors. The budget has not yet been adopted, and the Finance Ministry warns of the risk of delays in social payments.

Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko stated that the current subsistence minimum in Ukraine does not reflect the real needs of citizens, and that surviving on it is practically impossible. The Cabinet of Ministers intends to decouple social payments from this indicator.

In the draft state budget for 2027, the expenditures of the Pension Fund of Ukraine are planned at 1,278.8 billion hryvnias — a growth of more than 200 billion hryvnias. A transfer of 292.8 billion hryvnias will be directed from the budget toward pension top-ups.

Finance Minister Serhiy Marchenko warned that, in the event of a delay in financing from the EU and the IMF, Ukraine could face postponed social payments, and in the worst case — monetary financing of the budget and devaluation of the hryvnia.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine has listed seven grounds for terminating the monthly living allowance for IDPs — from major purchases and currency operations to prolonged stays abroad.

💰 For Independence Day 2026, Ukraine will pay from 450 to 3100 UAH to veterans, disabled persons, and IDPs. Most will receive money automatically, but some categories must submit an application by August 24. #Ukraine #IndependenceDay #Payments #IDPs

In 2026, the pension supplement for participants in hostilities increased to 650 hryvnias. The payment is accrued automatically, and pensioners can now change the method of receiving funds remotely via "Diia.Signature". It is also possible to transfer money directly to pensioners through the fund's portal. 🇺🇦💰👵
