By Decree of the Acting Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic No. 3 dated 20.10.2022, changes were made to some regulatory legal acts of the Head of the Donetsk People’s Republic regulating the payment of pensions.

According to the changes that came into force, pensioners have the opportunity to receive pensions through not only the Central Republican Bank of the Donetsk People’s Republic, but also through credit organizations operating in the Republic.

Also, at present, citizens, called up for military service during the mobilization, have the right to apply to the pension fund of the Donetsk People’s Republic in order to resume the payment of a pension suspended due to a long-term non-receipt. In this case, pension provision for persons in this category is resumed from the month of non-receipt of a pension.

It is important to note that the procedure for paying the lost pension due to the death of mobilized citizens has also been changed. The payment of pensions to such persons will be carried out for the entire period of non-receipt of a pension by them during the period of military service.
