Pensioners in Ukraine should carefully monitor their retirement business, as pension payments can be reduced to 50% - and this can happen without warning. This step allows the law in several specific situations to be known.
According to the clarification of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, the pension can be reduced by half in three cases: alimony debts - if the pensioner is obliged to pay alimony for children, former spouses or parents. Damage compensation - if a person has caused damage to another person during work or in another situation (for example, caused injury). Compensation to the enterprise - if the pensioner, working at the enterprise, caused material losses. Keeping in such cases can be up to 50% of the total pension.
All deductions occur on the basis of a court decision. Pensioners may not receive warnings, as such solutions are automatically executed by the Pension Fund. It is important to check your pension case regularly, especially in the case of debts or lawsuits. In other situations, such as debt repayment or fines, the maximum amount of detention does not exceed 20% of the pension. Follow all the lawsuits you appear in. Report the Pension Fund about changes in family status, place of residence and other circumstances.
If possible, receive a lawyer's advice on your rights in case of pension deductions.
