The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has allocated more than UAH 1 billion for the payment of pensions accrued according to court decisions. We are talking about Ukrainians to whom the court ordered the Pension Fund to appoint or transfer payments, but the appropriate funds have not yet arrived in full.
Who will be affected by surcharges?
Additional funding will be provided to pensioners who have previously challenged the Pension Fund's decision in court - for example, regarding the amount of payments, considered length of service or the right to recalculation after a change in pension legislation. Such disputes arise regularly: when the fund refuses to transfer or calculates an amount that the pensioner considers to be undervalued, the only legal way to achieve justice is to go to court. After a decision is made in favor of the claimant, the fund is obliged to pay the difference between the accrued and the due amount, but due to the limited possibilities of the budget, such payments are often delayed for months or even years.
It was to cover this debt to pensioners that the government allocated an additional billion hryvnias. This will allow to finance the already adopted court decisions, for which people have been waiting for a long time for the full accrual of the funds due to them, and will reduce the burden on the court system, where pensioners are forced to appeal again due to non-compliance with previous decisions.
Pensioners who have a valid court decision on the appointment or recalculation of payments and still have not received the full amount should check the receipt of funds on the card or personally contact the territorial office of the Pension Fund of Ukraine at the place of registration to find out the status of the payment in their case.
