One of the key measures will be to ensure that pensioners aged 65 and older receive payments of no less than 40% of the minimum wage. If their pension falls below this threshold, it will be automatically supplemented to reach the minimum level.
Pensioners who reach certain age milestones in 2025 will also receive special allowances.
These supplements will take effect from the day the individual reaches the corresponding age, and their amount will depend on the age group:
70–74 years: 300 UAH per month.
75–79 years: 456 UAH per month.
80 years and older: 570 UAH in addition to the pension per month.
Furthermore, starting from March 1, 2025, an annual indexation will come into effect, benefiting the majority of pensioners. While the exact percentage of the increase is not yet disclosed, for comparison, in 2024, the indexation was nearly 8%, with increases ranging from a minimum of 100 UAH to a maximum of 1500 UAH.
