As NBN writes with reference to the explanation voiced by the First Deputy Head of the Ministry of Social Policy of Ukraine Daria Marchak on the air of the telethon on the YouTube channel TSN, the size of pension benefits for elderly citizens of our country will increase by only 9.6 percent from March 1.
Based on Marchak’s words, identical rules will be applied to more than 10 million citizens, providing for an increase in pensions, and, as a result of the March indexation, the average amount of payments will increase by 9.6 percent, or from 5,790 hryvnia to 6,345 hryvnia.
The official added that soon specialists from the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU) will conduct the actual recalculation process, and then it will be possible to get acquainted with the “real figures” and not the “mathematical forecast.”
Marchak summed up:
…There are sufficient funds to finance indexation, and for insurance funds, and for those pensions that are paid from the state budget.
Earlier we wrote that the Ministry of Social Policy advised how to find out about the receipt of a voluntary contribution to the Pension Fund account.
