This year, late pension payments have become the number one problem for Lutsk pensioners, although the city department of the Pension Fund says there is no need to worry. The payment is delayed not because of a lack of money, but because of a change in the procedure for paying pensions in the regional center of Volyn. Due to the increase in the average pension size, a need arose to centralize pension funds in the accounts of the State Treasury, although until recently they arrived in the accounts of the department, where payment dates were also planned. In addition, since 2005 a new mechanism for the passage of pension funds has been in effect. In this process, in addition to the pension fund, the State Treasury, the National Bank, Oschadbank and Holovposhta are now involved. This year the schedule according to which pensions are paid was also changed. Currently, every month from the second day, non-working pensioners and war veterans receive their pensions, and from the 10th day, pensioners who are employed. A one-to-two-day delay in payment occurs because the first period from the 2nd to the 8th day of the current month accounts for half of all pension payments in Lutsk and the post offices do not always meet the deadlines. In order to coordinate the work, the city department of the Pension Fund and Ukrposhta plan to draw up a new schedule based on more detailed information about street names and house numbers served by a specific post office. Work on such schedules has been ongoing, according to Ms. Havryliuk, since November of last year. By the way, regarding the work on it, Yevheniia Havryliuk noted that the post office is somewhat delaying. Currently, out of the 15 post offices in Lutsk, only [some] have coped with the assigned task. At present it is not known for certain when exactly this new schedule will appear, although they promise to inform Lutsk pensioners about it in advance and personally.
