New deferment option in Reserve+: for spouses where either the husband or wife has official disability status

The latest update to the Reserve+ app introduces a new deferment category – for spouses if either the husband or wife has a Group I or Group II disability.

To be eligible for this deferment, the disability status must be recorded in the Unified Social Services Information System of the Social Sector or in the relevant information system of the Pension Fund of Ukraine, and there must be a registered marriage entry in the State Civil Registration Office.

Applying for the deferment is simple: click the three dots on the main screen of the Reserve+ app, select ‘Submit a deferment request’, then choose the relevant category – and a notification with the result will be sent shortly.

As a reminder, the deferment feature in Reserve+ was launched in November last year. Currently, 40% of all deferment requests are submitted through the app.

The service was launched by the Ministry of Defence of Ukraine in cooperation with the Ministry of Social Policy, Family and Unity of Ukraine, the Ministry of Justice, and the Pension Fund of Ukraine, with support from Germany’s Federal Ministry of Defence and the Better Regulation Delivery Office (BRDO). It is also supported by the European Union under the DT4UA project, implemented by the e-Governance Academy (Estonia).
