Registration of Pensioners from the ATO Zone to Receive a Pension in Ukraine

How to get a pension in another city of Ukraine from the ATO zone

If a pensioner managed to safely get out of the ATO zone to any other city in Ukraine, and he has all the documents with him, then the pensioner will not have any problems with receiving a pension. You need to quickly contact the Pension Fund at your new place of residence, provide documents and write an application to receive a pension.

It will be a little more difficult if the pensioner does not have any documents with him. In this case, he will still have to somehow prove his identity. The Pension Fund has a database of all pensioners in Ukraine, so all cases of applying for a pension are necessarily considered and decided positively in favor of the pensioner who finds himself in a difficult situation.

Reference

Documents required to apply for a pension:

• certificate of work experience;

• passport;

• identification code;

• employment history.

By law, the Pension Fund makes a decision on granting or denying a pension within 10 days from the date of receipt of the application and documents. However, in reality the time frame may increase.

As we wrote earlier, the Pension Fund calls on internally displaced persons to issue or re-issue electronic IDs.

Anastasia Kozhevnikova posted a “flower” selfie

But Ani Lorak tried on the image of a goddess and directly stated: every woman is a goddess and deserves the best!

But Anna Sedokova decided to prove to everyone that ladies come first! and announced a challenge to Yegor Creed, publishing a photo in which she poses without underwear. With this provocation, she decided to see who would get the most “likes.” I wonder how the challenge ended)

Ekaterina Kukhar also decided to share a candid photo with fans, but did not fail to note that everything secret remained “behind the scenes.”

Lesya Nikityuk also joined the echelon of stars who decided to stage a provocation out of congratulations. Her Majesty the goddess of Egypt, the Maldives and laminate flooring posted such a photo that fans immediately compared her to Nastya Kamensky.

Max Barskikh, as a ladies' man, congratulated the ladies brightly and with flowers

But Olya Tsibulskaya decided to show what women are most often like at home. The singer very warmly congratulated her subscribers on the holiday and showed that a woman’s charm is not only cosmetics and a beautiful outfit.

Katya Osadchaya and yellow flowers, like in “The Master and Margarita”, are a household name. The TV presenter congratulated everyone on the holiday and wished them a happy spring

Alexander Pedan showed March 8 in the “expectation/reality” mode.

Svetlana Loboda showed in the photo how many flowers she received on March 8.

But for Tina Karol, as usual, the main role in the congratulations was played by her faithful “Fantinites”. The singer congratulated her fans on March 8

Tina Karol’s son, Veniamin, congratulated his mother in a video, which was published on the singer’s official fan account.

If Katya Osadchaya loves yellow flowers, then Yuri Gorbunov is clearly not indifferent to purple and pink ones. The TV presenter also congratulated the girls on March 8 and wished them the most important thing - love.

How can pensioners from the ATO zone obtain pensions on Ukrainian territory?

1. Where should pensioners who have moved from areas temporarily uncontrolled by the Ukrainian authorities go to continue paying their pension at the place of their actual stay (residence) and what documents must be provided for this?

If a person who moves is placed by the regional headquarters on issues related to the social security of displaced persons, the application is submitted to an official of the authorized body involved in the prescribed manner to participate in the work of the regional headquarters.

Registration of Pensioners from the ATO Zone to Receive a Pension in Ukraine

“Of these, three are DPR and two are Ukrainian,” the pensioner tells us. “Only men are checked at militia posts, but at Ukrainian ones they also searched women. In the latter, people basically speak only in Ukrainian.”

“Having received a certificate from the rescuers, my husband and I went to the Social Security Fund for Disabled People: my husband worked as a miner, was seriously injured, and was entitled to recourse,” says Tatyana Leonidovna. – Having received a certificate there, we go to open an account in any bank; Fortunately, they really are on every corner there.” And only then can you go to the Pension Fund.

The Ministry of Social Policy told how pensioners from the ATO zone will be able to receive pensions

“In order to receive a pension not at their place of registration, displaced pensioners must provide a certificate within a month stating that they are indeed displaced. To obtain this certificate, they need to register with the local department of social protection,” Denisova said.

As the minister explained, this procedure was introduced to prevent citizens from parts of the Donetsk and Lugansk regions controlled by illegal armed groups from going to receive pensions in territories controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, without being displaced.

Pension system

According to the department, payment of pensions at the new place of residence can be carried out this month according to additional statements or next month. Payment of pensions is carried out from the first day of the month following the one before which the pension was paid at the previous place of residence.

This may be due to the fact that the work of notaries in the ATO zone is not controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and the possibility of fraud or forgery of documents (powers of attorney) cannot be ruled out. We invite you to consider a specific example of how to process a pension transfer. According to the Donetsk Regional State Administration, about 700 thousand people in the region did not receive a pension.

How to re-register pensions and benefits for displaced people from the ATO zone

Where to go

If you rely only on government assistance when relocating, then you should not expect that you will be settled where you want. For example, in the capital, all free places have run out a long time ago. Now you can only move to the regions at government expense. The website www.migrants.gov.ua has information about which region and district there is housing. For example, in the Bershad district of the Vinnytsia region there are 12 available places for migrants, and in the Kalinovsky district - 136. There you can also see the number of vacancies in the state employment service for this region.

If you do not have access to the Internet, then you can call the government hotline 0-800-507-309, where they will help you decide on a new place of residence.

For pensioners

After people move to a new place, they have to rebuild their lives. This is most difficult for older citizens to do. As the Pension Fund (PF) told KP, in order to transfer a pension, people need to have a passport with registration in the Lugansk or Donetsk regions.

“An identification code is needed only for those citizens for whom pensions are initially assigned,” the Pension Fund explained to us. — If a person has already been assigned a pension, then a passport with registration is enough.

The citizen must contact the Pension Fund office at the place of his new residence. You do not need to confirm your new residential address.

“Acceptance of applications from these persons to request a pension file is carried out without documentary confirmation of actual residence,” the Pension Fund reports. — After receiving the application, fund employees send an electronic request to request the pension file to the Pension Fund body of the pensioner’s previous place of residence. The registration of these persons is carried out based on materials from electronic pension files.

According to the department, payment of pensions at the new place of residence can be carried out this month according to additional statements or next month. It depends on when the pensioner applied to the fund management - at the beginning, in the middle or at the end of the payment period.

Payment of pensions is carried out from the first day of the month following the one before which the pension was paid at the previous place of residence. In Kyiv, payments began to be made on July 17.

“A family that has moved to another region of Ukraine does not have the opportunity to register a child born in a new place of residence at the actual place of registration,” the government says. — In order to apply for assistance at the birth of a child and register it, parents only need to invite employees of the social security departments to their current place of residence.

Ukrainian photo Kyiv, February 27 - RIA Novosti Ukraine. According to the head of the finance department of social programs of the Ministry of Finance Andrey Ryazantsev, Ukrainian legislation limits the receipt of social payments to temporarily displaced persons (IDPs) who live in territory not controlled by Kiev, but not pensions, at the same time the head of the Ministry of Social Policy emphasizes that pensions, social payments and social assistance only the person who has moved to the territory controlled by the authorities and permanently resides here receives it. This is stated in the article by Inna Vederniova for ZN.UA. REUTERS/Gleb Garanich Payments to migrants and fraud According to Andrey Ryazantsev, today there are no restrictions that prohibit pensioners from temporarily residing in other states and receiving a Ukrainian pension. ;I'm used to asking questions of the law.

Thus, the existing legislation of Ukraine does not in any way support that part of the population from the ATO zone, which includes unemployed citizens. This category includes elderly people who are no longer able to work and young children who do not have employment opportunities due to their age.

How to get a pension in the ATO zone

On September 16, 2014, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on a special status for Donbass. According to information received from the central authorities of Ukraine, pensions and salaries to public sector employees in the territories temporarily controlled by the DPR and LPR will not be paid. Since September, pensions and social benefits have not been paid in these localities. There are no official documents aimed at banning payments to these categories of citizens. One cannot count on help from the Donetsk Regional State Administration, since its entire leadership has relocated to remote locations and does not really control the situation in this territory. The only action of the regional leadership, in the current conditions, will be to lobby the interests of the residents of Donbass. After all, everyone understands that non-payment of pensions, salaries to public sector employees and social benefits will become a humanitarian disaster for these territories.

Having contacted, be it the insurance fund, the department of labor and protection, or the branch of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in any city controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, you must write an application for the transfer of a pension. Employees of these institutions will make a request for your electronic file and re-register a pension or social benefit in the area where the application was registered.

Will Ukraine pay pensions to residents of Donbass in 2020?

they leave their troubled area;
carry out registration of temporary residence in free territory;
they get financial institution cards, which they give to relatives or friends to receive a pension or social benefits.

According to the minister, at present, like two years ago, pensions and social payments are awarded to residents of Donbass who live in the conflict zone. However, Ukraine is simply not ready to pay out funds in uncontrolled territory, so as not to endanger the lives of financial employees. Therefore, only Ukrainian citizens can receive pension and social funds and only in quieter cities of the country. According to statistics, 1.25 million residents of retirement age live in the Donbass, of which more than 950 thousand receive pensions and social benefits in the territory controlled by Ukraine.

The Slavyansk Pension Fund office also confirmed to us that there were no cases where pensioners were caught in the act when receiving a double pension. “If there is a complete package of documents, we pay pensions to everyone. There is no database for exchanging information with the DPR. Therefore, it is impossible to prove that a person receives money both here and here. We have not had such cases. I think this is yet another horror story from the authorities,” a PF employee from Slavyansk told Vesti.

“As of the end of May of this year, 575.3 thousand pensioners have already transferred pension payments from uncontrolled to territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities and are receiving payments on time. However, another 169.0 thousand pensioners did not make such a decision,” says the Regional State Administration. According to the department, there are no arrears in payments.

How can pensioners in the ATO zone receive their payments?

“Literally in September, it was decided not to pay social benefits or any budget payments in the occupied territories, including salaries to public sector employees of any series, that is, utility workers, doctors, teachers, civil servants. Therefore, pensioners of the cities of Donetsk, Gorlovka, Makeevka, Torez, Shakhtersk, Snezhnoye, like any city controlled by the DPR, unfortunately, will not receive their payments,” explained the DonOGA.

According to their information, the only way out for pensioners is to re-register their pensions. To do this, you need to go to the territory controlled by the Ukrainian authorities, for example, to Artemovsk, Dobropolye or Krasnoarmeysk, and contact the Pension Fund. You must have a passport, indication code and pension certificate, as well as copies of these documents.

The procedure for re-registration of a pension from the ATO zone

Ideally, pensioners should receive payments in the ATO territory without a certificate of resettlement status. But since the changes came into effect quite recently, it is better to play it safe and re-register a pension for residents from the ATO zone in another region. And although lawyers believe that no certificates from displaced persons are no longer needed, until the repeal of Resolution No. 595 actually comes into force, everything must be done as before. Registration of pensions for migrants from the ATO zone will not take much time. At the moment, the excitement has subsided, and therefore you can cope in a few days.

You will be given a certificate of “immigrant” status on the day you submitted your documents. It is printed on standard A4 paper and affixed with the signature of an authorized person and the seal of an authorized body. Make sure that all the details are in place, otherwise you will have to redo the certificate.

What is the procedure for obtaining a pension in Ukraine for a migrant from the ATO zone in 2021?

Full name of the migrant;
citizenship;
where and when was born;
how many people does the migrant’s family include?
where the pensioner is registered today and actually lives;
contact address or telephone number where the displaced person can be contacted;
identification number (if, due to religious beliefs, the Ukrainian refused the code, this must be confirmed with a mark in the passport);
the reason why the pensioner left his previous place of residence;
does any of the family members have their own housing on the territory of Ukraine (in case the pensioner has nowhere to stay and the headquarters cannot offer its own options);
place of work of the pensioner, if he works;
What needs does it need to be met - social, medical, educational?

In 2021, Ukrainian legislation indicates the need to obtain a certificate from a migrant from the ATO zone, which provides opportunities for obtaining a pension in Ukraine. The step-by-step instructions look like this:

Payment of pensions to migrants from the ATO zone

The authorities say that all those who have registered on the territory of Ukraine will have payments, only this time the registration process will be different. Also, completely different rules will now apply to the payment of pensions.

The difficult geopolitical situation in the country forced many citizens of different ages to leave their homes for an indefinite period. And many elderly people, hastily leaving their homes, were left without money.
They are most interested in whether pensions will be paid to displaced people at all. Therefore, more and more often they are scouring for headlines like “pensions for displaced people in 2021, latest news Ukraine”

New rules for calculating pensions for migrants from Ukraine in 2021

In 2021, as a result of active protests by human rights activists and lawyers in Ukraine, as well as members of the UN Human Rights Committee, it was possible to cancel some decisions taken by the Verkhovna Rada.

Human rights activists declared it illegal to restrict the right of elderly Ukrainians to receive a pension. After this, the government announced that the blocked amounts would be paid.

Other positive points:

The decision of the Ukrainian authorities on the indexation of pension accruals, carried out on July 1, 2021. The pension coefficient for people applying for benefits for the first time has been revised. Now it is equal to 1.
The decision to index social payments by 750 hryvnia in 2019.
Extension of the pension reform stage until 2021, at which it is planned to increase the amount of accruals by another 50%.
Possibility of choosing a method of transferring money through Oschadbank (to a bank card, to a personal account) or issuing funds at a bank cash desk.
Providing the use of an electronic version of the Ukrainian pension fund. For example, you can now find out the movement of accrued funds in your personal account on the official website of the fund, and receive a pension certificate to the specified email address.

Human rights activists have declared violations of international rights regarding the inviolability of the home during inspections, as well as freedom of movement.

Human rights activists and lawyers obtained a decision from the Deputy Minister to reduce the circle of persons subject to verification, provided that they were identified.

The project “Pensions for uncontrolled geographical zones - without a migrant’s certificate” is under consideration. This document was developed by public human rights organizations.

This project, in particular, provides for:

What does the project involve?

Canceling paper document flow and converting it to digital format. Recognition of the right to the ability to send documents remotely via electronic communication, without personally visiting the PFU office in the controlled territory.
Increasing the time period for exercising the right to receive an unclaimed amount, since not all people have time to claim it in the shortest possible time due to periodically renewed military actions.

The main requirement formulated in the program registered in the Verkhovna Rada under No. 6692 is the possibility of canceling the issuance of a migrant’s certificate. The chances of this demand being approved by the Verkhovna Rada are slim, but public human rights organizations will continue to insist on this.

For persons with limited mobility, the draft requires the delivery of means of personal identification by social organizations, including international ones. An officially registered authorized representative has the right to draw up any paperwork for a person with limited mobility.

It is also possible to transfer documents through an official. This requires:

prepare a corresponding application in advance;
submit the application to the PFU with the help of housing and communal services employees or members of local village councils.

The same bodies are empowered to issue certificates of assigned migrant status. The document can also be issued by a person who does not have Ukrainian citizenship, but lives in the country on the basis of permanent residence (permanent residence).

The basis for assigning refugee or migrant status is an anti-terrorist operation in the formed republics of the LPR or DPR.

The UN called the demands of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) related to the need to increase the minimum retirement age for Ukrainians inhumane. However, this question remains open.

Registration of Pensioners from the ATO Zone to Receive a Pension in Ukraine

The completed application must be submitted to an official at the regional headquarters for issues related to the social security of Ukrainian citizens who are moving from temporarily occupied territory and areas of the anti-terrorist operation.

The holding of “elections” on November 2 on the territory of the “DPR” and “LPR”, not in accordance with the legislation of Ukraine, only worsened the situation for residents of the temporarily occupied areas. The Ukrainian authorities warned the local population about the responsibility and consequences of participating in illegal voting. The world community does not and will not recognize the legitimacy of these “elections”; therefore, this territory will have the status of “unrecognized territory” by all countries in terms of their statehood, with all the negative consequences for its inhabitants economically and socially. Today, all such unrecognized territories have an underdeveloped economy and low incomes. In accordance with the announced results of these “elections” and “taking office,” the leadership of the “DPR” and “LPR” must assume full responsibility for paying pensions and social benefits in these territories. However, the population was once again told that “there are no funds to pay pensions and social benefits.” Before the elections on November 2, 2024. The DPR promised and partially paid social benefits to certain categories of citizens, but after the elections these payments stopped (“Social payments in the DPR”).

Payment of pensions to displaced people in 2021

The main document through which old-age benefits are provided to a refugee is a relevant certificate. It is necessary to indicate the special status of a citizen. A refugee is required to register at his place of residence. Without this, he will not be able to receive either benefits or a pension.

A migrant certificate and a temporary certificate are provided to the citizen on the day the application is submitted. There is no payment for the service. The document contains information about the place of residence, the address for transferring funds for the payment of pensions and other social transfers, including a limitation on the validity period.

How is a pension paid to an ATO displaced person?

As soon as the pensioner has completed all the steps to receive a pension after relocation, pension payments should be received in the bank account from the next month.

The PF is obliged to transfer all funds in full from the moment the payments are stopped to the citizen, regardless of the time that has passed since the payments were stopped.

The pension fund makes a request about the status of the migrant’s personal account in the state database at the previous address. Due to the fact that the ATO territories are under the jurisdiction of Ukraine as a single state, searching for information about a pensioner and payments made to him is not difficult.

The pension benefit of the migrant is paid at his current place of residence. You can receive money through a post office in cash, to a bank card, or to a bank account. The pensioner himself chooses one of the options for receiving money.

Delays and problems

Despite state guarantees expressed in Ukrainian regulations, displaced citizens often complain about problems with receiving payments.

Among the main ones are:

Refusal to assign payments. Occurs if the migrant has not fulfilled any condition for calculating his pension. For example, he provided an incomplete document or provided false information about himself.
Termination of payments. A forcibly displaced citizen will be deprived of receiving money if he violates the rules of migration registration and also ignores the requirements of social security representatives related to undergoing scheduled checks.
Delay in receipt of money. They can occur for a variety of reasons. You should contact the PFU or the social protection department about the reasons.

Pensioners in the ATO zone were left without pensions

If you dig deeper, it turns out that they have prepared an almost impossible task for pensioners. At the beginning of October, ministers adopted a resolution on the registration of “displaced persons.” According to it, everyone who has moved is obliged to go first to the State Emergency Service department, and then to the social security fund. However, personal presence is not enough. We also need those local residents who will settle refugees in their homes. Homeowners in “peaceful territory” are required to have the main tenant present with statements and copies of passports of everyone registered in the apartment stating that they do not object to the fact that a displaced person from the ATO zone lives with them. The bureaucracy doesn't end there. Expect that within two weeks an authorized person from the housing office or village council will visit the address to check whether a migrant from the east of the country really lives here. But a personal visit by a specialist will not be enough: you will also need certificates from two neighbors and copies of their passports. As a “bonus” for suffering if the procedure is successful, the state undertakes to pay 884 hryvnia per month along with the pension. Even in this situation, gigantic queues have already formed in the social funds of the cities closest to the ATO zone.

— Those who want to receive pensions and social payments are required to obtain a migrant certificate before December 1. The certificate will indicate their place of residence and the address where funds will be transferred outside the ATO zone, the minister emphasized.

Pensions in the ATO zone - re-registration in Ukraine and prospects from the DPR

- Hello. I am moving from Donetsk to Mariupol, where I will register as a migrant and live. Here remains a bedridden disabled father and a retired grandmother who also can barely walk. Tell me, can I draw up a power of attorney in Donetsk so that, while living in Mariupol, I can use it to receive my relatives’ pension, which I will take to them in Donetsk, since there is no way to take them out.

- No. To re-register a pension, the physical presence of a person is required so that he/she can write an application and submit documents in his/her OWN HAND; no powers of attorney are accepted. These are the conditions now. You understand that these changes have been made because people apply for pensions and live THERE...
