Ukrainians can receive pensions immediately for six months

Ukrainian pensioners can take advantage of the opportunity and take a pension in advance for six months. This was reported in the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

They noted that this opportunity may arouse interest among those older people who went abroad.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine reminded that pensions are paid to Ukrainians either in cash through Ukrposhta offices or transfer the amount to a bank account.

When a pensioner stays abroad, a pension is paid if it is provided for by international treaties of Ukraine, the experts added.

They also noted that if a pensioner goes abroad for permanent residence, his pension, assigned in Ukraine, can be paid 6 months in advance before leaving. To do this, you need to submit an appropriate application from the next month after deregistration at the place of residence.

We add that if a person travels abroad for a long time and does not withdraw money from his pension card or does not take it from the Ukrposhta branch, then the pensioner's account may be blocked.
