Issuance of old-age pension
A person who has the right to a pension may apply for its appointment at any time from the moment when this right arose, no earlier than one month after reaching retirement age. In order to start receiving an old-age pension in Ukraine, both men and women need to meet the conditions that the legislation establishes for this. They relate to age and length of service.
Therefore, you must be at least 60 years old and have at least 31 years of experience. Despite the fact that at the level of regulatory legal acts everything seems clear, in fact, pensioners often face problems when applying for a pension. In such cases, high-quality support from a lawyer specializing in pension law can help.
Where to go to apply for a pension?
The answer to this question depends on whether the applicant is currently employed. If not, then to apply for a pension he can:
- contact the territorial body of the Pension Fund in person with a corresponding application;
- submit an application through the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund or through the Unified State web portal of electronic services (Action Portal). This requires an electronic signature based on a qualified electronic signature certificate.
If the applicant works, he can submit documents at his place of work through an authorized person whose responsibilities include communication with the PF at the location of the enterprise, institution or organization.
What are the application requirements?
The application for a pension must meet the requirements provided for by current legislation. This issue is regulated by the “Procedure for the provision and execution of documents for the assignment (recalculation) of pensions in accordance with the Law of Ukraine “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance”. The document was approved by resolution of the PFU board № 22-1 dated November 25, 2005. We are also talking about the wording of the resolution of the PFU board № 13-1 dated July 7, 2014. You need to look at Appendix 1 to the Procedure.
Also, the mentioned Procedure contains requirements for the package of documents that must be submitted in order for a pensioner to be assigned a pension. This topic often raises questions, since collecting such documents can take quite a lot of time, and representatives of the Pension Fund often have many artificial comments regarding the documents. It is in such situations that the advisory support of a lawyer on pension law or his support in interaction with the Pension Fund may be appropriate.
What do you need to know about documents?
When a person submits an application in paper form, documents can be sent to him both in originals and in copies certified by a notary. However, there are some documents that must be exclusively original.
Another acceptable option for certification of documents is done by the administration of the enterprise or institution where the applicant works. Since in this case it is the representatives of the enterprise, institution or organization who communicate with the PF, then this task is entrusted to them.
As for documents about age, length of service and salary, they must be presented in originals. If you submit documents through the PF services web portal or the Action Portal, then scanned copies of the originals must be submitted, on which you need to apply an electronic signature based on the corresponding certificate.
How is the application processed?
The PFU reviews the application within 10 days. After this, a decision is made to grant or refuse a pension. If a pensioner is faced with the second option, he can appeal the decision to refuse a pension within 6 months from the day he learned or should have learned about a violation of his right.
How can we be useful?
Lawyers at the Prikhodko & Partners law office know from experience how often PF representatives groundlessly refuse to grant a pension to a pensioner or, for example, do not take into account part of the length of service that affects the amount of pension benefits.
As a rule, direct communication with the Pension Fund is not effective in such situations, so the pensioner has to defend his rights and legitimate interests in court. Lawyers from the Prikhodko and Partners law office can help you with this. We have extensive experience and many successful cases behind us. So contact us!
