Pensions in 2025: who will receive age-related payments, and who will get social assistance

According to hvylya.net: The age pension is assigned from the next day after reaching retirement age, if the person applied for it no later than three months from the moment of acquiring the right. The pension is calculated based on the citizen's application or automatically if there is data on the insurance period before 2004.

Ukrainians of retirement age can receive both a pension and state social assistance, but both types of payments have different conditions. In 2025, one can retire at the age of 60. To do this, it is necessary to have a certain insurance period: at 60 years - at least 32 years, at 63 years - at least 22 years, and at 65 years - at least 15 years.

To apply for social assistance, one needs to contact the social protection authority at the place of registration or actual residence, submit an application, passport, tax identification number, and a declaration of income and property status.
