The Pension Fund of Ukraine explained when you need to apply for pension registration: what the deadline is and when you can lose money
Under the law, Ukrainians have the right to apply for a pension during the period from one month before reaching retirement age and for three months after reaching 60 years. In that case, the pension will be granted from the moment the retirement age is reached. If you submit the application later, the pension will be granted only from the time of application.
This is stated in an explanation from the Main Department of the Pension Fund of Ukraine in Donetsk region. So, yes — you can. You may apply for pension assignment no earlier than one month before reaching retirement age. That is, if you turn 60 years in October 2026, you can submit the application in September — not earlier than the corresponding date.
