Pensioners were told whether it is possible to change the payment date

The Pension Fund has clarified whether it is possible to change the date of pension payment.

In Ukraine, it is impossible to change the date of pension payment, but pensioners can choose a more convenient way to receive funds by submitting an application to the Pension Fund of Ukraine (PFU). Pensions are paid through post offices, with home delivery or to bank cards, SOCPORTAL.INFO reports.

This schedule is formed taking into account logistical capabilities and the load on postal and banking institutions, which makes it possible to avoid disruptions and ensure the stability of payments. Changing the date, for example, from the 16th to the 5th, is impossible, since the schedule is fixed for territorial districts and is adjusted only in the event of holidays or technical circumstances.

However, pensioners can apply to change the method of receiving a pension. For example, switching from postal payments to a bank card, which will speed up access to funds. This can be useful for those who want to pay utilities faster or distribute the budget. The Pension Fund also recommends planning expenses based on the established date of receiving the pension, and if necessary, seeking advice from its specialists.
