Some pensioners are provided with a monthly allowance of up to 1,300 hryvnias: who will receive payments

Non-working military pensioners who support disabled family members may receive an additional pension payment. In 2026, its amount is 1,297.50 hryvnias for each dependent who meets the established requirements.

This was reported by the Pension Fund of Ukraine.

Non-working citizens who receive a retirement or disability pension and have dependent family members who are unable to work are entitled to the allowance.

In particular, they may include children under the age of 18, as well as adult children if the disability was established before adulthood. At the same time, the dependent must not receive his or her own pension, state social assistance or other payments provided for by law.

The amount of the allowance is 50% of the subsistence minimum for persons who have lost their ability to work. In 2026, this is 1297.50 hryvnias per month. The payment is not a one-time payment. If there is a corresponding right, it is assigned monthly together with the pension for each disabled family member who meets the conditions.

The allowance is not assigned automatically. The pensioner must submit an application and documents confirming the right to payment to the Pension Fund.

The allowance is established from the 1st of the month following the month of submission of the application and the required documents. For the past period, the payment can be made no more than 12 months in advance and no earlier than the date of the entitlement to it.

Working military retirees are not eligible for this allowance. Nor is it granted to a dependent who is already receiving a pension or state social assistance.

By the way, 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.

We remind you that from 2027, some women will not be able to apply for a pension immediately after reaching the age of 60 due to increased requirements for insurance experience. To retire at 60, it will be necessary to have at least 34 years of insurance experience.
