A pension is a state guaranteed payment that is a major source of income for millions of Ukrainians. However, in some cases from pension sums Deductions are made – for repayment of debts, alimony, penalties, etc. In order to avoid misunderstandings, it is important for each pensioner to know on what basis the funds can be withheld, in what amount, who is entitled to it and how to check the correctness of such actions.

Who has the right to make deductions? The pension from the pension can be made exclusively by the Pension Fund of Ukraine, and only after receiving an official document confirming the legality of detention. No banks, collectors, private structures or individuals have the right to demand from the Pension Fund a reduction in pension without proper documents.
What is the amount of deductions? The Law of Ukraine “On Enforcement Proceedings” clearly limits the amount that can be kept from pension:
- No more than 20% – in general cases (for example, loan debt, penalties, utilities).
- No more than 50% – in cases of alimony, compensation for damage caused by health, or as a result of the death of a breadwinner.
Features of detention during martial law For the period of martial law in Ukraine there are special rules (Law of Ukraine “On Legal Regime of Martial Status” No. 1647-III):
- The executive fee is not charged (Article 27 of the Law on Enforcement Proceedings);
- The recovery of retirement, except for the decisions on alimony, on damages caused by injury, other damage to health or death as a result of a criminal offense, and decisions, debtors for which are citizens of the Russian Federation are stopped.
All documents coming to the PFU are thoroughly verified to prevent erroneous or illegal deduction.
