Darya Marchak reminded that this year they would not increase the living wage.
Marchapk noted that the amount of pension payments can increase unevenly / photo tsn.uaThe indexation of pensions in Ukraine will touch all the lowest payments since March 1. The government provided restrictions on the amount of the pension allowance.
The First Deputy Minister of Social Policy Darya Marchak told this in a comment for RBC-Ukraine.
“If you look at the legislative framework, we have three tools for raising pensions. Unfortunately, they work so that the amount of pension payments can be increased unevenly, because, for example, pensioners who have the smallest or so -called formula pension, whose pensions are reduced to a subsistence minimum. The minimum is not increased due to the difficult financial situation.
According to her, the overall logic of indexation is not to lose any category of pensioners, and absolutely everyone is indexed in the amount laid down by a resolution, which is 11.5%.
“For the purpose of finding a financial resource to increase the smallest pensions, the third year in a row is a restriction on the maximum indexation amount. The pension supplement cannot exceed UAH 1500,” Mchak summed up.
