Retirement, according to the new reform, depends on seniority.
Adopted by the Verkhovna Rada of pension reform does not directly increase the retirement age. But some Ukrainians still have to postpone retirement because the country has introduced requirements for the insurance period.
To change the rules will be phased in. So, initially for retirement at age 60 will need to have 25 years of experience. If you experience 15 – 25 years of retirement will be to go in 63 years, less than 15 years – 65 years. However, the minimum insurance period will increase by 1 year every 12 months until 2028.
Thus, from 2028 to retire at 60 will need to have 35 years of insurance experience. The Pension Fund predict that by this time this experience will have only 45% of Ukrainians, from there the remaining 55% will retire later 60 years.
People who have no insurance experience, can apply for social assistance upon reaching the age of 63. The amount of assistance will be determined on the basis of the family income of the pensioner. Requires a minimum of 40 years of service to retire will before 60 years.
In General, to be eligible for a pension will need 15 years of experience. However, to go on a holiday will have at age 60 and later.
In addition, the Parliament decided to leave open the possibility for each Ukrainian to buy insurance experience. One year will cost nearly 17 thousand UAH, and 5 years (maximum) — 480 UAH 84.
What is included in the length?
In the original government version of pension reform in the insurance period was to include only the years spent on the official “white” salary. In this case, the employee makes regular retirement contributions. While on maternity leave, for example, from experience would completely remove.
However, when preparing the reform for the second reading in Parliament has ensured that the experience also will be counted:
– study on the budget of higher education institutions on full-time form;
– maternity leave – for those who were in it from 2004 to 2013 as well as leave to care for a child up to 6 years (since 2004);
– entrepreneurship “uproschentsam” (1998 to 30 June 2000, from July 2000 to end of 2017);
– military service (until the end of 2017).
Also the Parliament refused to raise to 15% of ERUs for the enterprises with harmful working conditions of the first and second lists.
Earlier, the international monetary Fund (IMF) urged to raise the retirement age for all Ukrainians to 63 years. However, the Cabinet stated that the principle will not take such a step and was able to convince the Fund in the viability of its version of pension reform.
