Summary
In November 2026, pensioners aged 70 and over will continue to receive monthly compensatory pension supplements, according to the Pension Fund of Ukraine as reported by Sudebno-yuridicheskaya gazeta (SUD.UA). The maximum monthly amounts are 300 hryvnias for pensioners aged 70 to 74, 456 hryvnias for those aged 75 to 79, and 570 hryvnias for those aged 80 and over. These amounts remained unchanged after the pension indexation on March 1, 2026. The compensation is established regardless of pension type, the governing law, insurance record length, or employment status, but payment depends on the pension amount conditions.
Financing for November 2026 pension payments began on November 1, when 600 million hryvnias was allocated through JSC "Ukrposhta". Under Article 47 of the Law of Ukraine "On Compulsory State Pension Insurance," pensions are paid no later than the 25th day of the month they cover. The Pension Fund states the overall payment period runs from the 4th to the 25th, so November payments fall between November 4 and 25 according to individual schedules. The age-related compensation is included in the regular pension payment and has no single statutory transfer date.
Eligibility is capped by a threshold of 10,340.35 hryvnias, the average salary used for pension calculation in 2020. The total monthly pension payment, including the supplement and relevant allowances, must not exceed this figure. For example, a 70-year-old receiving 10,100 hryvnias would receive only 240.35 hryvnias rather than 300. If the base pension already equals or exceeds the threshold, no supplement is paid.
The compensation accrues from the date a pensioner reaches the qualifying age, not automatically from November 1. A person turning 70 on November 20, for instance, receives a proportional amount for November and the full amount from December, provided eligibility continues. Those moving to a higher age category mid-month receive the previous amount until the birthday and the higher amount thereafter. The Pension Fund notes that the accrual date differs from the actual receipt date, which depends on the schedule and recalculation.
The supplements are not cumulative. Upon reaching 75, a pensioner receiving 300 hryvnias moves to 456 hryvnias, an increase of 156 hryvnias for a full month; upon reaching 80, the amount rises from 456 to 570 hryvnias, an increase of 114 hryvnias. The actual increase may be smaller if the 10,340.35 hryvnias limit applies. The payments are established automatically, with no separate application required. Pensioners who do not see the expected increase are advised to check their total pension payment and the Pension Fund's calculations through its electronic services portal or service center.
