In particular, this concerns some internally displaced persons who received IDP status before February 24, 2022.
There are two main criteria that may lead to the suspension of payments:
If there have been no transactions on the pensioner's bank account in the last 12 months, payments may be suspended.
Additionally, IDP pensioners who have not undergone mandatory identification at the Pension Fund of Ukraine, Oschadbank, or through remote identification may also face suspension.
Although pensions may be suspended, this will not be permanent. Pensioners can resume their payments by visiting their regional Pension Fund office and submitting an application.
On a positive note, the state budget for 2025 includes provisions for pension indexing. The exact amount of these adjustments will be revealed once statistical data for 2024 is available, allowing pensioners to benefit from cost-of-living adjustments in the following year.
