One of the sources of funding for the Pension Fund of Ukraine is revenue from the Single Social Contribution (SSC) paid under the mandatory state social insurance system.
The Single Social Contribution (SSC) combines mandatory contributions for pension insurance, unemployment insurance, temporary disability insurance, and insurance against workplace accidents or occupational diseases.
Employers and other contributors are required to pay the SSC at a rate of 22% of the assessment base (salary, remuneration for work performed, or payment for services provided).
Payment of the SSC and the accumulation of insurance service years determine an employee's entitlement to social protection, including:
Pension benefits;
Sick leave payments;
Unemployment benefits;
Compensation in the event of a workplace accident or occupational disease.
Be sure to verify that your employment relationship is officially registered, that your insurance contributions are paid in full and on time, and that your insurance service record is being properly accumulated through the Pension Fund of Ukraine's Electronic Services Portal: https://portal.pfu.gov.ua.
