In February 2026 I will turn 60. I have an insurance record of 33 years and 2 months. Am I entitled to an old-age pension and what documents do I need to submit?
✅ Yes, you are entitled.
🔰 According to the Law of Ukraine dated July 9, 2003 No. 1058-IV “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance,” the retirement age (60, 63, or 65) depends on the length of a person’s insurance record. For each age, a corresponding minimum insurance record is required to be eligible for a pension.
✴️ In accordance with Article 26 of this law, the insurance record required to be granted an old-age pension in 2026 is:
🔘 upon reaching the age of 60 — at least 33 years;
🔘 upon reaching the age of 63 — at least 23 years;
🔘 upon reaching the age of 65 — at least 15 years.
❗ Important
☝️ If a person reached the age of 60 / 63 / 65 in 2025, but applies for the pension in 2026, the required insurance record will be 32 / 22 / 15 years respectively.
