Pensions will be reduced by up to 50%: which pensioners may be left without part of the payments?

Citizens should know how to keep their pension with themselves. After all, the decision is fixed by law, and part of the pension is taken away if there are grounds for this. NaPensiya was reminded of the grounds and size of the reduction.

The percentage that can be calculated from the pension can vary from 20% to 50%.

No more than 50% can be deducted from the pension in favor of alimony. To pay off debts for the maintenance of family members. Such deductions are made exclusively by court decision.

Damage

Also, a person may be left without part of the pension if he stole property from an organization or enterprise. Another reason to withdraw half of the pension is due to the damage that the pensioner caused to another person. This could be physical harm, damage to health or death of the victim.

Extra funds for salary

The law also provides for cases when a percentage will be calculated from the pension for the return of excess funds received from wages.

The above cases are the basis for deduction of up to 50% of a citizen’s pension. All other cases provide for a deduction of no more than 20% of the state payment.

If a citizen, receiving a pension, resumes his working activity, he is obliged to inform the Pension Fund about this. This must be done within 10 days. If you ignore the trip to the Pension Fund, the funds that were paid overtime will have to be returned to the state. If the pensioner refuses to return the funds paid to him, then the Pension Fund of Ukraine has the right to deduct 20% of the pension.
