Teachers can now apply for a deferment through Reserve+: what are the conditions?

Teachers and other educational staff at general education institutions can now apply for a mobilization deferment directly through the “Reserve+” app. The system automatically verifies the required information.

The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense reported this.

To qualify for a deferment, the educational institution must be the primary place of employment, and the teaching load must be at least 0.75 of the full-time position. The position must also be classified as a general secondary education teaching staff member.

In addition, information about the employer, position, and workload in the AICOM and the Pension Fund of Ukraine must match.

How to apply for a deferment

In the Reserve+ application you need to select:

Services → Request for a deferment → Teachers and other teaching staff of general secondary education institutions.

There’s no need to upload documents. The system will automatically verify the information with AIKOM and the Pension Fund, after which the results will appear in the app.

If you are unable to obtain a deferment, the Ministry of Defense recommends checking the current status of your employment, position, and teaching load at AIKOM and PFU.
