Ukrainians will be able to confirm their insurance record in case of loss of documents, which simplifies the appointment of pensions for those who lost documents due to war, occupation or liquidation of enterprises - the Verkhovna Rada adopted the relevant bill, the parliament reported on Thursday, writes UNN.

The Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on simplifying the process of confirming insurance experience (No. 13705-d). 242 deputies voted for it.
From now on, citizens whose labor archives were destroyed or remained in the occupied territories will be able to confirm their experience for pension purposes using information from state electronic registers and information systems.
The document proposes to regulate important issues related to pension processing:
- if there is no data in the state registers for the appointment or recalculation of a pension, the Pension Fund will necessarily notify the person about the absence of information and the need to submit it;
- periods of work for which the employer has arrears in contributions will be included in the insurance record, if reports have been submitted for these periods;
- the employment record book remains the main document for confirming experience for the period before the introduction of personalized accounting. If it is not available, other ways to confirm experience are offered - for example, documents from the place of work, study, service or archival certificates.
"It provides that experience will be confirmed through electronic registers. No certificates, if the data is in the system. If there is no employment record, the experience will be established on the basis of other documents, testimonies of two witnesses or a court decision. And the Pension Fund is obliged to notify about the absence of data and help with their restoration," the parliament noted.
"We are simplifying the procedure for obtaining pensions, simplifying the procedure for obtaining documentation from other electronic systems, and also simplifying the procedure for obtaining evidence through court so that people who lost documents before 2000 have the opportunity to prove their insurance record in court through evidence," said earlier Taras Tarasenko, a people's deputy from the Verkhovna Rada Committee on Social Policy and Protection of Veterans' Rights.
