The Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine has provided for the possibility to pay pensions to Ukrainians temporarily living abroad by international transfers through Ukrposhta, the Ministry of Reintegration of the Temporarily Occupied Territories said.
“The resolution adopted by the government was developed by the Ministry of Social Policy on the results of meetings to discuss the problematic issues of Ukrainian citizens who have found temporary asylum in Poland. Thus, the specified category of pensioners will be able to resume receiving pensions by sending an application by mail in the order determined by the Pension Fund of Ukraine”, – is indicated in the message in the telegram channel.
To receive pensions, the decree provides for the possibility of entering into bank account contracts with Ukrainian banks. We are talking about banks that have no branches, offices, representative offices in the country of residence of the pensioner, including banks (unbanked), which do not have their own network.
Thus, if a person wishes to receive a pension through a bank, an application for payment can be submitted electronically using the means of a qualified electronic signature. This can be done together with the opening of a bank account without the need to visit the bank in person.
Also, at the request of a pensioner, payments can be received in the post office (if Ukrposhta JSC has the technical ability to transfer funds to the country of residence).
