PFA revealed a new scheme to increase pensions: who can receive more.
The Pension Fund of Ukraine confirmed that individuals aged 16 and older can independently pay insurance contributions for the compulsory state pension insurance if they are not yet receiving a pension.
'Paid voluntary contributions count as acquired insurance experience or increased salary for the future pension,' the Pension Fund explains.
To do this, it is necessary to conclude an agreement with the PFA on voluntary payments. Contributions are credited for the month in which the funds are received in the Fund's account. This period will be counted as insurance experience, and the amount of contributions will be treated as salary for those who are not officially employed.
For those already insured, voluntary contributions will increase the salary amount considered in the pension calculation. More details about concluding the agreement can be found on the website of the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
