Restoring Pension Payments: Key Steps to Follow
- Notify authorities before April 1 to avoid payment halts
- Affected retirees must report missed payments promptly
- Follow procedures to reinstate payments after identity verification issues
If a pensioner fails to inform the Pension Fund about the lack of payments from Russia before April 1, there is a risk that pension payments may cease. A legal advisor explains the necessary actions to continue receiving government funds in such circumstances.
Who Needs to Report Missing Payments
Pensioners and recipients of insurance payments living in occupied territories or who have relocated to Ukraine or abroad must inform the Pension Fund. This notification is required for those who completed physical identification between January 1, 2025, and February 1, 2026, but have not yet submitted their reports.
Steps to Take if Payments Are Suspended
If pension or insurance payments have been suspended due to failure in physical identification, they can be reinstated following the Pension Fund's decision, provided the proper conditions are met.
