Electronic Register of Disability Certificates
Starting October 1, 2021, the Pension Fund of Ukraine has taken over the administration of the Electronic Register of Disability Certificates (ERLDC), enabling the creation of digital sick leave documents based on medical findings. This innovation gives both policyholders and insured individuals convenient access to information about their sick leave records.
Users can now view their sick leave certificates on the Pension Fund’s web portal at portal.pfu.gov.ua, which also allows them to generate official extracts from the ERLDC. This streamlines the process of obtaining necessary paperwork related to sick pay. Both insured persons and policyholders can create these extracts, making interactions with the Pension Fund more transparent and user-friendly.
Benefits of Digital Services
The introduction of the Electronic Register of Disability Certificates marks a significant step in modernizing Ukraine’s social protection system. Beyond simplifying access to information, this advancement improves communication between the Pension Fund, policyholders, and insured individuals. By moving sick leave processes online, the system becomes more transparent and efficient, which can positively impact the overall quality of service for citizens.
As the Pension Fund enhances its digital services, it's essential to understand the implications of these changes on your pension entitlements. While the new system simplifies access to sick leave documentation, it's crucial to note that digital work records may not guarantee your pension. This connection highlights the importance of staying informed about how these advancements affect your rights and benefits.
