With 10 years of experience, you can now retire earlier: new conditions from the Pension Fund.

The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained how workers in harmful industries can retire early. If a person has worked in conditions harmful to health for 10 years and has accumulated a total insurance experience of at least 25 years, they can retire at the age of 55.

For this, it is necessary to have documents confirming work in harmful conditions, according to the special List No. 2, which specifies professions and types of production with severe working conditions. Confirmation of the right to preferential pension protection is based on data in the employment record book and relevant certificates from employers.
