In August 2026, certain categories of Ukrainians will receive a one-time cash payment for Independence Day. The amount of assistance will depend on the recipient’s status and will range from 650 to 3,100 hryvnias.
This was reported by the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
A one-time payment of 650 hryvnia will be received by:
- family members of killed or deceased war veterans, as well as fallen defenders of Ukraine;
- wives or husbands of deceased persons with disabilities as a result of war who have not remarried;
- one of the spouses of deceased war participants, if there was no remarriage;
- single wives and husbands of deceased combatants;
- wives and husbands of victims of Nazi persecution who did not remarry and had the status of persons with disabilities due to general illness, occupational injury or other reasons.
For most recipients, the payment will be assigned automatically along with the pension. However, individual citizens will need to submit an application to the Pension Fund of Ukraine.
You can submit an application:
- at the service center of the Pension Fund of Ukraine;
- through the administrative services center;
- by mail to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of Ukraine;
- through the web portal of electronic services of the Pension Fund of Ukraine using a qualified electronic signature.
The largest payment of 3,100 hryvnias will be received by persons with special merits to Ukraine, persons with disabilities as a result of the war of group I, and former juvenile prisoners of concentration camps who have a disability of group I. Persons with disabilities as a result of the war of group II will receive 2,900 hryvnias, and those with a disability of group III will receive 2,700 hryvnias.
It was previously reported that Ukraine plans to change the pension accrual system . Instead of the current model, they want to divide payments into two parts – basic and insurance.
