Pension payments are calculated from income earned after 1 July 2000
When calculating pension payments in Ukraine, wages earned over the entire insurance period starting from 1 July 2000 are taken into account. Earnings prior to this date may be included at the individual's request or if the subsequent insurance record is under five years. This is reported by the portal PromPolitInform, citing information from Pension Fund of Ukraine in Rivne Oblast.
Earnings for the insurance record period prior to 1 July 2000 are taken into account only with a wage certificate backed by primary accounting documents. This requirement applies if an individual chooses to include this data or if their insurance record after the specified date is less than 60 months.
In such cases, earnings for any 60 consecutive calendar months up to 30 June 2000 may be considered. Periods of employment must be verified by documents issued by enterprises, institutions, or organisations based on personal accounts and payroll records.
Requirements for Certificates in Case of Enterprise Liquidation
If an employer has ceased operations or been liquidated, the necessary certificates of paid wages are issued by legal successors or archival institutions. Even if archives cannot break down payment types according to the standard form, they are authorized to issue certificates matching available archival records.
State pension authorities hold the legal right to verify the accuracy of submitted information regarding wages and working conditions directly with enterprises and relevant institutions.
