Law No 3674: Journalist Talks About New Conditions for Counting Experience Gained Before 1992

Journalist Kateryna Kotenkova said that experience gained before 1992 will now be counted in a new way, Ukrainians will be able to add it to their pensions, Politeka reports.

She spoke about this on the Znay.ua channel.

“The relevant law on counting experience was adopted back in April 2024, but for some reason the Cabinet of Ministers was unable to approve the procedure for it for more than a year, so the law practically did not work. This is Law No. 3674. In particular, it provides for new conditions for counting experience gained before 1992 in the republics of the former USSR. Such work will be counted both towards insurance experience and even towards preferential experience. But there is one condition: if a person did not receive pension payments from another state during this period,” says Kateryna Kotenkova.

That is, the journalist explains, if a Ukrainian worked before 1992, for example, in Kazakhstan, in order for this experience to be credited to him, he must attach a certificate from the Pension Fund of Kazakhstan to the application, stating that he is not registered there and does not receive a pension. If a person cannot obtain such a certificate on his own, she adds, then he can contact the Pension Fund of Ukraine for help so that the necessary request is made to another state, but until a response is received, the pension will be calculated without taking into account this experience.

However, the journalist adds, if there is no objective possibility of exchanging information with another country, then until such an opportunity appears, the experience before 1992 in another republic must be credited. It is indicated, she says, that these are cases when international cooperation between the pension provision bodies of the two states has not been established or the Ministry of Foreign Affairs has not received a response to the request within 45 days.

"If an employee was registered at an enterprise located in Ukraine, but was on a business trip or, for example, was sent to work in other republics of the Soviet Union, then such experience acquired before 1992 should be credited without any problems. That is, it will not be considered foreign," adds Kateryna Kotenkova.
