The government limited the payment of special pensions during martial law

The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has made a decision on restriction of payments of special pensions, which exceeds UAH 23.61 thousand (10 subsistence minimums for persons who have lost their capacity). Resolution # 1 of January 3 was published on the Government Portal and provides for the use of reducing coefficients for amounts exceeding this threshold.

The following coefficients are set for special pensions:

  • From 10 to 11 subsistence minimums (UAH 23.61-25.97 thousand): coefficient 0.5.
  • From 11 to 13 subsistence minimums (UAH 25.97-30.69 thousand): a ratio of 0.4.
  • From 13 to 17 subsistence minimums (30.69-40.13 thousand UAH): a ratio of 0.3.
  • From 17 to 21 subsistence levels (40.13–49,58 thousand UAH): a factor of 0.2.
  • For all payments exceeding UAH 49.58 thousand (21 subsistence levels), a factor of 0.1 is applied.

This means that the amount of payments exceeding these thresholds will be significantly reduced.

Restrictions do not apply to the following categories of citizens:

  1. Participants of the anti -terrorist operation (ATO) and measures to ensure the defense of Ukraine, which were directly in the war zones.
  2. Pensions in case of loss of breadwinner, appointed to members of the families of dead or missing hostilities.

The restriction of special specialty payments is explained by the need to optimize government expenditures during martial law. Against the background of significant economic challenges and needs for financing defense measures, the government focuses on social justice and targeted support for the most affected by the consequences of the war.
