In Ukraine, the number of years required for Ukrainians to retire from January 1, 2025, is increasing. This is reported by UNN with reference to the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
Accordingly, starting from January 1, 2025, in order to retire at the age of 60, it is necessary to acquire at least 32 years of insurance record for men and women.
Those who do not have sufficient insurance record after reaching 60 years of age will be eligible for a pension at 63 years of age if they have 22 to 31 years of insurance record.
If a person has 15 to 21 years of insurance coverage, pension payments will be granted at the age of 65. If a person has less than 15 years of service, at the age of 65 he or she will be eligible to receive state social assistance instead of pension payments.
The length of the pensionable service period, which gives the right to retire at the age of 60, will increase every year. This process will continue until 2028. Thus, in order to retire at age 60 in 2028, you will need to have at least 35 years of service. Starting from January 1, 2028, if you have 40 or more calendar years of insurance record, you will be granted an old-age pension regardless of age.
