How Pensioners Who Cannot Access Online Identification Can Still Receive Social Benefits: Essential Tips and Procedures
In the current circumstances faced by Ukrainian pensioners—especially due to the ongoing conflict and widespread displacement—many encounter difficulties accessing their social payments.
This issue is particularly urgent for those who have been forced to leave their homes and are temporarily residing abroad or in other regions of Ukraine.
The Main Department of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in Luhansk oblast clarified how individuals unable to perform online identification can still receive their benefits without unnecessary complications.
They emphasized that, under the principle of extraterritoriality—meaning service provision regardless of residence—pensioners have the opportunity to visit any Pension Fund service center for physical identification.
This means that pensioners do not need to go to a service center at their registration place; they can choose any convenient location to undergo identification.
This approach helps maintain access to pensions and minimizes difficulties related to mobility and life circumstances.
It is important to remember that proper and timely preparation for the identification procedure will help avoid delays and ensure stable pension payments even under challenging conditions.
For detailed steps and recommendations on how to pass this procedure, refer to the official guidelines and advice provided by the Pension Fund.
