PFU seeks to return a woman to a woman’s financial assistance in the amount of 10 monthly pensions with a total amount of 106 085 UAH

The Pension Fund has taken into account and paid A one -time woman in the amount of 10 monthly pensions totaling 106 085 UAH in November 2024. In February 2025, a check of her pension case found that the applicant was not entitled to receive financial assistance in this amount, so the woman is asked to return this amount. This is stated in the decision of the Khadzhibei district court of Odessa, published on September 18, 2025.

The accounting of the Main Directorate of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in the Odessa region is a woman who receives a pension for age, appointed in accordance with the Law of Ukraine of July 9, 2003 No. 1058-IV “On Compulsory State Pension Insurance”. On September 30, 2024, she filed an application No. 7744 for the appointment of a retirement pension and payment of financial assistance in accordance with paragraph 7-1 of Section XV “Final Provisions” of Law 1058. From September 26, 2024, she was assigned a pension of 10 452 hryvnias. In November 2024, according to her application No. 9213 of November 18, 2024, a pension was recalculated in the amount of 10 monthly pensions in connection with additional documents for receiving financial assistance in the amount of 10 monthly pensions. As a result, since September 26, 2024, the pension was UAH 10 608, and one -time financial assistance was 106,085 UAH (an order for recalculation of November 25, 2024). During the audit of the woman in February 2025, it was established that she was not entitled to payment of financial assistance at such a volume in accordance with paragraph 7-1 of Section XV “Final Provisions” of Law 1058 (letter of the State Pedagogical University in Odessa region of February 5, 2025).

Analyzing the documents attached to the request, it was found that at the time of reaching the retirement age, he works as a head of the hygienist-hygienist of the toxicological laboratory at the State Institution “Odessa Regional Center for Control and Prevention of Diseases of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine”. In accordance with subparagraph 2.3 of paragraph 2 of the list of health care institutions, approved by the order of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine of October 28, 2002 No. 385 “On approval The control and prevention of diseases of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine is classified as a public health institution and is not defined in section “2. Health Care »List No. 909. As a result, in its pension case, a pension was overpayed for the period from September 26, 2024 to September 30, 2024 in the amount of UAH 106 085 due to the lack of the right to pay a financial assistance in the amount of 10 months pensions.

The woman filed a claim for a claim for recovery of a pension, in which she asked to refuse the Head Office of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in the Odessa region in satisfaction of the claim. Throughout the time, from December 16, 1991, without interruption in the experience, she has been working at the state -owned health care institution, which gives her the right to appoint a pension for years of service, as stated in Article 55 of the Law of Ukraine “On Pension Support”. State Institution «Odessa Regional Center for Control and Prevention of Diseases of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine» is a health care institution, as stated in Article 55 of the Law of Ukraine “On Pension Support”.

The reference of the PFU to the fact that the State Institution “Odessa Regional Center for Control and Prevention of Diseases of the Ministry of Health of Ukraine” is not in the list Compliance with the rules of the Law on Pension Support and cannot contradict it. During her PFC pension, she checked all her data and made a positive decision on payment of one -time financial assistance, which she received on December 20, 2024. The PFU letter dated March 5, 2025 shows that the processing of a pension application and payment of one-time financial assistance, the position of the Pension Fund was mistakenly determined by its special work experience, which indicates the absence of any guilt on its part and the lack of technical error during the pension.

What was the court decision? The court denied the PFC to satisfy the claim. From the letter of the GU PFU in the Odessa region of March 5, 2025, we see that during the processing of an application for the appointment of a pension and payment of one -time financial assistance, the position of PFU was incorrectly calculated by her special work experience, which indicates the absence of abuse on her part and the lack of technical errors in the appointment of a pension.

“The mechanism of return of excessively paid pensions provides for the recovery of such amounts only if such overpayment occurred from the pensioner’s guilt, namely due to his abuse. Therefore, the claims of the Main Directorate of the Pension Fund of Ukraine are illegal. This position is contained, in particular, in the decision Resolutions of the Supreme Court of Ukraine of January 22, 2014 No. 6-151ts13, dated July 2, 2014 in the case No. 6-91ts14.
