The Government has simplified the mechanism of payment of Ukrainian pensions and financial benefits for recipients temporarily residing abroad.

In particular, a person will have the right to apply for payment (change of payment method) of a pension or financial assistance distantly. It is also envisaged that the payment of a pension that was suspended during martial law may be resumed without visiting Ukraine by sending a relevant application by post.
