Who receives a pension supplement? Rules for calculating pension supplements for long work experience. How many points are added to the pension for children?

The question of additional payments to pensions for children has only now gained great popularity, although technically the possibility of such a recalculation has been around for a long time and arose from the moment the new law came into force “About insurance pensions” No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013 - that is, from January 1, 2015. However, previously the possibility of recalculating an already assigned pension in order to receive a supplement for children caused great controversy. Now, several years later, the legality of contacting the Pension Fund on this issue has already become recognized and is beyond doubt.

According to the new pension legislation, now when assigning a pension it is provided more profitable accounting of the period of child care, which is expressed in:

It is noteworthy that more favorable rules can be applied to similar periods, that took place before 01/01/2015. Therefore, those pensioners who have been eligible for it for a long time can also apply for additional payment to their pension - i.e. women, including adult children born before 1990 (during Soviet times).

Choosing the best option for accounting for non-insurance periods for child care (and, consequently, the possibility of recalculation) consists in choosing procedure for calculating the amount of insurance pension:

valid until 2015 (according to the provisions of Law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001);
currently in force, starting from January 1, 2015 (according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013).

Upon detailed examination and comparison of all options for calculating pensions in practice, it often turns out that the new procedure for accounting for pension rights is more beneficial for the pensioner and can provide a significant monthly increase (see). Therefore, it is worth using this opportunity and contacting the Pension Fund with the appropriate information. Although the supplement to the pension for children not guaranteed for all pensioners(each case is individual), we can say exactly for whom it may be most likely.

What is the pension supplement for children and who is entitled to it?

The meaning of the child allowance consists of counting the so-called “non-insurance periods” (clause 1 of Article 12 of Law No. 400-FZ) into the length of service and accruing additional pension points, the sum of which (the so-called individual pension coefficient) directly determines the size of the pension. In this case, this will be the period of departure of one of the parents for each child until he reaches the age of one and a half years(the maximum total can only be taken into account 6 year care period for all children, so if we talk strictly about the period of care for each child up to 1.5 years, then in total only four children can be counted in points).

The essence of the currently proposed recalculation for children is as follows:

for women who were in an employment relationship at the time of birth and child care, this is the possibility of counting this period in one of two ways: either as a period of work, or according to the new rules as a non-insurance period, if such a replacement would be beneficial to her;
for women who at that time have a break in work or combine the birth of a child with study, this is an opportunity to increase the size of their pension by including a new unaccounted non-insurance period in the length of service and adding the number of points that directly affect the amount of the pension paid (taking into account the new one).

It’s worth mentioning right away that not all pension recipients benefit apply for recalculation! There are categories of pensioners for whom there will be no additional payment during this procedure, and perhaps not at all - the amount received will go into the minus.

It is important that if, upon recalculation, you receive a smaller pension than it was before, the initial amount of payments will not be reduced, and in response to the application for recalculation, PFR specialists will make a decision to refuse.

Considering all of the above, first of all, it is worth paying attention to those mothers who are given recalculation will most likely be beneficial:

women with at least two children;
those who received low wages and, accordingly, have a small coefficient applied to the calculation of payments;
who had a short work history.

Which pensioners will not receive additional payment during recalculation?

The amount of additional payment during recalculation, as well as the possibility of its implementation, are strictly individual. However, it is safe to say who shouldn't count on such an increase?. These categories of pensioners include the following persons:

retired after January 1, 2015(for them, all possible options had already been calculated, taking into account non-insurance periods for children, and the most profitable method was automatically selected);
recipients, paid in a fixed amount(established, among other things, for living in the zone of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant);
retired previously established retirement age if they have a preferential job that gives such a right (since as a result of replacing the insurance period with points for non-insurance periods, they may lose the right to due to the exclusion of this time from the special period of service - this is especially true for periods of child care before 06.10.1992);
having only one child;
recipients of pension payments.

For other citizens, applying for a recalculation may be beneficial.

In each individual case, the calculation of the pension, as well as the calculation of the amount of the additional payment, will be purely individual, and there is no need to talk about any fixed amount of the increase. For some, this will be an additional payment of 300 rubles or even more, while for others the additional payment will be equal to one ruble or zero.

How many points are added to the pension for children?

According to paragraph 12 of Art. 15 Federal Law No. 400 "About insurance pension" The number of points awarded for periods of child care depends on the following parameters:

birth order of the child;
amount of care time.

Data on the value of points taken into account when recalculating the additional payment for children is presented in the following table.

Table - Recalculation of pensions for women for children

It is worth considering some nuances when:

the period of care is less than a year - then the calculation of the coefficient is established based on its actual duration (clause 14, article 15 No. 400-FZ);
there are several such periods coinciding in time - then the sum of the coefficients for each child is determined (Clause 13, Article 15 of Law No. 400-FZ).

Let's look at the example of pension recalculation for a woman with 2 adult children, taking into account non-insurance periods for caring for each of them.

Example - Recalculation of pensions for pensioners with 2 or more children

Anna Ivanovna has been a pensioner since April 2014. In order to compare different options for calculating pensions (according to the old rules or the new ones), we will determine the number of points earned by a woman for each of them. Thus, we will determine the profitability of a possible recalculation and the chance of receiving an increase for children.

Required initial data for recalculation:

The woman’s total work experience is 18 years, of which 15 years were worked from 1978 to 1997 and 3 years from 2005 to 2008, during which the employer transferred 135 thousand rubles to her personal account for financing the insurance part of the pension (the funded part was not formed). The length of service until January 1, 1991 is 11 years. Anna Ivanovna has two children born before 1990 (in 1979 and 1985). The woman was on maternity leave for 1.5 years with each of them. The calculated wage coefficient is 0.8.

The first option - as it was determined when the pension was assigned. When retiring before January 1, 2015, non-insurance periods counted towards the length of service as a period of work according to the provisions of Law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001, because at that moment the pensioner was in an employment relationship.

The estimated pension until 2002 (Article 30 of Federal Law No. 173) amounted to 256.72 rubles. is ((0.55 × 0.8 × 1671 – 450) × 18 /20).
The estimated amount of valorization (Article 30.1 of Federal Law No. 173) is equal to 53.91 rubles. is (256.72 × (0.1 + 0.01 × 11 )).
The increase due to insurance premiums received after 2001 is 592.11 rubles. - this is 135,000 rubles. / 228 months
The total labor pension (excluding the base part and indexation) assigned to the pensioner was equal to 2336.24 rubles. is ((256.72 + 53.91) × 5.6148 + 592.11).
Translated into pension coefficients, this amount will be 36.45 points- this is (2336.24 rubles / 64.10 rubles per 1 point).

The second option is how it will be calculated when recalculating the pension for children. When recalculating according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, it is necessary to convert the received amount into pension points (including for non-insurance periods of caring for 2 children), dividing it by the cost of one such point in 2015 (64, 10 rubles), and subtract 3 years of experience from the previous calculations (1.5 years for each child).

Obviously, for Anna Ivanovna from the example considered, the recalculation of pensions for two adult children will be beneficial(39.45 points is more than 36.45). This is due to the fact that she had a small salary and short work experience, and she has two children.

Thus, the woman in the example considered will receive a permanent increase in her pension in the amount of 39.45 – 36.45 = 3 points. The cost of 1 pension coefficient from January 1, 2019, taking into account the indexations carried out, is 87.24 rubles.

That., the additional payment to her pension will be equal to 3 × 87.24 = 261.72 rubles.

How to apply for an additional payment to the pension for children?

Recalculation of pension payments, implying additional payment taking into account non-insurance periods, is carried out only by application if you have the necessary documents.

In order to receive an increase in pension for children, pensioners need to take a few steps:

At the same time, there is several ways such an appeal:

personally (or through a legal representative) make an appointment with the client service of the district administration of the Pension Fund;
contact the MFC at your place of residence;
send documents by mail;
submit an electronic appeal through a single portal of public services.

Despite all the calls from the Pension Fund not to create a stir around the topic of additional payments for adult children, the information presented about a possible increase in pensions worries a large number of citizens, and their desire to quickly get an appointment with Pension Fund specialists can be understood in view of the difficult economic situation in the country. However, some Pension Fund departments have already registered an entry on the issue of recalculation many months in advance.

Since the moment of recalculation will depend on the date of filing the application, women in large populated areas should pay attention to alternative methods of application, bypassing a personal appointment at the Pension Fund.

Application for recalculation of pension for children (sample)

An application for recalculation of a pension for children is a standard form for revising the amount of payment, carried out, among other things, for other reasons. The application form for additional payment can be filled out in advance by printing it from the website of government services or the Pension Fund (or you can download it). You can also fill it out in person at the Pension Fund or MFC under the guidance of specialists from these institutions (in this case, correct completion is guaranteed).

This document is drawn up in Russian and signed personally by the citizen or his legal representative (if there is a notarized power of attorney). Based on the content of the statement, one can distinguish its main points:

first, indicate the name of the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, where the citizen applies;
followed by personal data (full name, citizenship, registration address and actual place of residence);
clause 3 informs about the type of pension to be recalculated, and the last column of the same clause indicates the basis for the additional payment “including non-insurance periods”;
It is also necessary to list in writing the documents attached to the application.

The final signature of the applicant at the end of the document confirms the accuracy of the information provided by him.

What documents are needed to apply for an increase?

IN package of documents required to obtain an increase in payment includes:

identification document of the pensioner or his legal representative;
pension insurance certificate ();
application (a 4-page form is printed by a Pension Fund employee upon personal application or filled out by the applicant independently electronically on the government services website);
birth certificates of children or a birth certificate from the civil registry office;
documents confirming that the child is 1.5 years old, to choose from:
- educational certificate;
- child's passport.

If the child’s birth certificate contains a stamp indicating that he received a passport upon reaching 14 years of age, then there is no need to provide any additional documents to confirm that he is being cared for!

It is worth remembering that if you apply for recalculation through the post office, copies of the submitted documents must be notarized, and if you apply for an increase via the Internet, the documents necessary for the additional payment (except for the application completed directly on the website) should be brought to the Pension Fund within five working days.

The timing of the decision and when the increase will be

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 23 of Law No. 400-FZ, recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension is carried out from the first day, following the month of application. The revision of pension payments by including non-insurance periods for adult children is no exception in this sense.

Do not forget that the possibility of filing such an application for additional payment is not limited by any period. However, if you apply for an increase later, the pensioner will be able to start receiving a higher pension only from the next month - no additional payments for the previous time missed since the entry into force of the new law is not due.

But since additional payment to the pension is not guaranteed for absolutely everyone, it is possible to refuse recalculation. In this case, an appropriate decision will be made by the Pension Fund of Russia commission, of which the applicant will be notified at the telephone number or email address specified in the application, and in the absence of such, by postal notification.

Is there an additional payment to the pension for children born before 1990? I retired in 2005, I have three daughters born in 1974 and 1979. and born in 1985, each of whom was on maternity leave for a year. During these periods, I was in an employment relationship and this time was counted towards me when assigning a pension payment as work experience.

According to the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, which came into force in January 2015, it became possible to count the time spent caring for children (one and a half years with no more than four) according to a more profitable option, including for periods until 2015.

The question of increasing pensions for children, including those who are already adults, is not raised precisely because of their date of birth before or after 1990. This recalculation is due to all women who have children and care for them at different times, including the Soviet period.

To compare several calculation options, you will need to contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, where your payment file is located with documents confirming your care, and write an application for recalculation.

If you have a short work experience and a low salary coefficient applied to the payment calculation, then if you have three children, such a recalculation will most likely be beneficial. If such a revision of the pension is unprofitable, its original amount will not be reduced, and the commission will make a decision on refusal.

Citizens whose pension is below the subsistence level can apply for a regional supplement to their pension. In this article we will look at who is entitled to a regional pension supplement and how to apply for it.

Regional pension supplement: who is entitled to it, how to get it

At the moment, a pensioner can receive additional payment from the federal budget and/or from regional funds:

a citizen whose pension, taking into account other benefits and payments, is below the level of PMP in Russia as a whole (in 2020 - 9691 rubles) is entitled to receive federal social supplement ;
a pensioner with an income above the average PMP in the Russian Federation, but below the PMP of the region of residence, can apply for regional pension supplement ;
additional payment from 2 sources (federal + regional budgets) is assigned if the pension size is simultaneously lower than the PMP in the Russian Federation and in the region.

Who is entitled to receive a pension supplement?

Both citizens of the Russian Federation and persons who have permanent registration in Russia can apply for a regional supplement to their pension. Conditions for assigning additional payment the following:

the citizen is the recipient of one type of pension (old age, length of service, including preferential service, disability, loss of a breadwinner);
the pension recipient is registered and permanently resides in the region in which the additional payment is made;
The pensioner is not employed.

Please note that minor citizens can also apply for a regional supplement to their pension:

disabled children - recipients of disability pensions;
persons under 18 years of age are recipients of a survivor's pension.

How to apply for a regional surcharge

In general, additional payments are made by applying to the territorial Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the destination of the initial pension (old age, disability, etc.).

Step 1. Contact the Pension Fund.
The pension recipient has the right to apply to the Pension Fund for an additional payment at the moment the right to receive such an additional payment arises, which, in turn, is determined when the following conditions are simultaneously met:

the citizen has been assigned a pension for old age, disability, or loss of a breadwinner;
the pensioner has permanent registration in the region of residence (based on registration in the passport or a mark in documents confirming the right to permanent residence in the Russian Federation);
the size of the PMS in the region is higher than the total income of a pensioner (pension + other benefits, benefits, compensation, etc.).

When applying to the Pension Fund for additional payment, a citizen should submit an appropriate application, the form of which can be downloaded on the Pension Fund website or received at the Pension Fund branch directly at the time of application.

Step 2. Notification of additional payment.
Based on the citizen’s application and based on the individual SNILS number, Pension Fund specialists calculate the total amount of material support for the applicant, including:

the amount of pension (social, insurance, disability, survivor);
amount of monthly cash payments (for disabled people);
monetary equivalent of a set of social services (for people with disabilities);
the amount of benefits provided for payment of housing and communal services;
the monetary equivalent of a pensioner's right to free travel to the city. transport;
other types of benefits and benefits.

Based on the calculation, the monthly indicator of the pensioner’s financial support is determined, which is compared with the PMP of the region. If the calculated indicator of financial support is lower than the PMP level, the pensioner is assigned a regional compensatory additional payment, and therefore the citizen is sent a corresponding notification in writing.

Step 3. Recalculation of pension taking into account additional payments.
The pension, taking into account additional payment, is assigned to the citizen in the month following the month of application. Thus, a citizen who submitted an application to the Pension Fund in March 2020 will receive a pension with additional payment in April 2020.

In accordance with the legislation of the country, persons who have reached retirement age are entitled to a payment.

However, if a pensioner is engaged in the maintenance and upbringing of children who have not reached the age of majority, or children who are studying in vocational educational organizations, he is entitled to a pension supplement.

Legislative regulation of the issue

The procedure for accruing additional funds to the insurance part of the pension for the maintenance of minor children is carried out in accordance with “On Insurance Pensions”.

In accordance with this regulatory document, persons who are retired and who have disabled citizens as dependents are entitled to additional fixed payments to an insurance pension or pension paid in connection with obtaining the status of a disabled person.

The package of documents required for submission to the body responsible for assigning the specified allowance has been approved By Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 958n.

For certain categories of citizens who carried out labor activities in internal affairs bodies, the fire service, and bodies of the penal system, the accrual of an additional amount to the pension provision, in the case of dependent minors, is carried out on the basis Federal Law No. 4468 – 1.

Accrual conditions

An increase in the pension amount is possible if a minor is dependent on a pensioner. Dependency, in accordance with the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, requires full maintenance and security.

Payment of the bonus is allowed to persons who have reached the appropriate age and have retired.

TO family members, whose dependents require the payment of additional funds, the law includes children, brothers, sisters, grandchildren:

before they reach 18 years of age;
if they carry out educational activities in secondary and higher educational organizations, until they reach the age of 23 years;
with disabled status and after reaching adulthood.

It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the legislative act emphasizes no need proving the dependency of minors.

Size

Amount of increase in benefit amount depends on several factors:

The number of minors maintained by a non-working person;
Age of the pensioner;
Whether or not he has the status of a disabled person;
Subject of residence of the person.

Thus, in 2018, the amount of increase in benefits to persons under 80 years of age and without a disability, if there are dependents:

One – 3416 rubles;
Two – 4,270 rubles;
Three – 5124 rubles.

For citizens who have reached the age of 80, the following allowances are paid:

For one child the increase will be 3,416 rubles, for two - 4,270 rubles, and for three or more - 5,124 rubles.
Mothers who are over 80 years old today are entitled to a large additional payment: for 1 child 5970 rubles, for two 6832 rubles, for three 7680 rubles.
For mothers who have reached the age of eighty and are able to document their disability group, the additional payment will be paid in the amount: for 1 child from 4,000 rubles to 11,200 rubles, for two from 6,440 rubles to 12,800 rubles, for three from 7,200 rubles to 14,400 rubles.

For residents of the North or territories equivalent to it, the payment amount increases in accordance with and varies from 6,000 rubles to 16,800 rubles.

For children who have reached 18 years of age and are undergoing training in secondary and higher educational institutions, the amount of the pension increase is 1,500 rubles.

The above amounts of allowances can be changed in each specific case. In order to find out exactly what kind of increase you can claim, you should ask the Pension Fund employees to make a preliminary calculation.

Registration procedure

The possibility of obtaining a supplement to the established pension amount is being implemented by submitting an application on the recalculation of paid funds, as well as established documents, to the territorial branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, located at the applicant’s place of residence.

Document review period by fund employees is 10 working days from the date of registration. After this, payment of an additional amount to the pension provision is assigned.

Another option for registering an allowance is to use Internet service "Gosuslugi". In order to process the payment of additional funds, you must log into your personal account. Next you need to select section “Pension assignment” and fill in all the fields offered by the service. After that, send your application. In this case, verification of information and attached documents will take no more than 30 days.

Package of documents

In order to formalize an increase in the amount of pension payment to the territorial body, you must submit next package of documents:

Mothers of many children

For mothers who have status, the possibility of an old-age payment is fixed at the state level.

For this necessary:

Additional financial support at the state level is not provided for this category of citizens.

However, federal legislation has delegated powers to provide social support in the form of pension supplements to mothers with many children.

Payment of these amounts is made at the expense of the regional budget. Regulation of the provision of benefits is carried out at the local level by legislative bodies.

So by law Moscow payments have been established for mothers with the status of large families, the amount of which reaches from 4,000 rubles to 9,000 rubles .

by law St. Petersburg an additional pension has been established for mothers raising five or more children, in the amount 2,820 rubles .

It is worth noting that currently not all regions of the country provide assistance to this category of citizens.

Since the entry into force of amendments to the law regulating the transfer of pension insurance amounts based on mothers those with more than four children will be able to count on an increase in the size of their pension benefit.

Mothers who retired before 2015 can receive increased benefits.

In accordance with the new law, periods of raising not three children, but four children are counted as length of service. a total of 6 years. Accordingly, in order to gain the opportunity for early registration, she needs to work for 9 years.

In addition, for the entire period of caring for children, a mother with many children points are awarded. Their amount directly depends on the number of children.

A mother who has two or more children and retired early has the right to receive a fixed bonus to the insurance portion for each of the children under the age of majority.

When raising dependents who have reached the age of majority and who are studying full-time at a secondary specialized and higher educational organization, increases are also awarded for them.

To receive an increased pension, you must contact the territorial body of the fund with an application for recalculation based on pension points accrued during the period of child care.

In 2018, pensioners can receive increase in monthly payments for children:

Starting from 02/01/2018, pension payments will be indexed by 4.10%.
If citizens receive a pension, the amount of which does not reach the subsistence level in the region, then they are entitled to an additional payment.
Military pensioners may qualify for an additional payment (calculated as a percentage of the monthly benefit): for 1 child 32.00%, for two children 64.00%, for three or more 100%.
Pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs can count on a supplement for children, the amount of which varies from 32% to 100%.

The rules for assigning additional payments for dependents are described in the following video:

City surcharge amount is calculated as follows: the city social standard minus the amount transferred monthly to the pensioner.

In 2019, this material support is provided only if the monthly income does not reach the minimum pension amount.

Legislative aspect of the issue

The basis for calculating the allowance for residents of Moscow and the region is the regional Law No. 36/2006-OZ, dated March 23, 2006

The document contains information about certain categories of citizens of the capital and surrounding areas who need social support.

To whom and under what conditions is it paid?

Additional payments to pensioners living in the capital began to arrive at the end of 2017, and since January 2018, the capital’s social pension standard has increased by 21% and amounted to 17,500 rubles, it remains so in 2019. This is a record amount for the regions and is explained by the possibilities of city budgetary funds.

The pension supplement now covers a fairly large category of citizens - about 1.5 million people.

A mandatory condition is to live in Moscow for at least 10 years, taking into account the fact that income is below the established subsistence level. The difference will be paid from local funding sources.

For pensioners registered in the Moscow region, things are not so rosy. Despite the territorial proximity to the center, the consumer basket, according to experts, in 2018 amounted to 9527 rubles, which is only 13 rubles. more than the previous period. It is unknown where experts get such data from, because according to the most conservative calculations, this figure should be at least 3,000 - 3,500 thousand more.

To increase the income of pensioners in the Moscow region, the federal budget of the state includes an order 5% inflation indexed funds. So we can’t count on a significant increase yet.

As for military pensioners, regardless of their place of registration - in the capital or its suburbs - the average benefit amounted to 25,500 rubles. This category of citizens will not be able to receive additional payments, since their pension is an order of magnitude higher than the subsistence level, taken as the basis for receiving additional payments from regional funds.

Amount of surcharges

Moscow is one of the ten most expensive capitals in the world. Accordingly, the cost of living should be set an order of magnitude higher. If the age pension is less than this indicator, the person will be credited additional social benefit.

For example, a pensioner is a native resident of Moscow. He receives 17,500 rubles monthly. The amount of regional financial assistance will be:

17,550 (pension amount) – 9,527 (consumer basket) = 8,023 rubles.

Registration procedure

Every pensioner living in Moscow and receiving a small pension should know that no registration is required for the regional supplement, since it is calculated automatically in government institutions.

True, you need to take care of the correct and timely assignment to one or another category of pensioners.

This is where you might need it documents:

passport or other official document confirming individual information;
certificate of official registration in Moscow (if the place of registration is not indicated in the passport);
a document indicating that the citizen has ceased performing official duties (work book with information that the person has been assigned a pension).

There are also several special situations, each of which requires the provision of a different document: medical and social examination (person with disabilities), child identification paper, certificate of the fact and reason for the change of surname, certificate of loss of a breadwinner, etc.

The Pension Fund is usually given 10 days to review the submitted package of documents, sometimes 30 days. Subsequent receipt of a response will either be good news for the pensioner and the assignment of a regional bonus, or sad news and the filing of a claim.

For information on the rules for calculating additional payments to pensions for residents of the Belgorod region, see the following video:

In accordance with the law, every pensioner has the right to receive an old-age pension benefit. In 2020, the basic pension amount was 4,559 rubles.

Citizens who have reached 80 years of age are paid bonuses in the same amount. Thus, the basic portion for centenarians increases by 100%.

What does the law say?

Current legislation provides for doubling the basic part of insurance pensions. This is stated in paragraph 2 of paragraph 17 of article Federal Law No. 173 on labor pensions.

So, for example, if the fixed insurance pension for persons aged 60-70 years is 4559 rubles, then upon reaching 80 years of age the payment is already 9118 rubles.

The increase is due from the day of birth to all recipients, with the exception of disabled people of the first group (for this category of persons the base part is already increased). Also, after 80 years of age, compensation is paid to non-working persons caring for a pensioner.

Regulatory framework

The increase in pensions after 80 years is stated in a number of legal acts:

According to these documents, pension benefits consist of two parts: a basic part (4,559 rubles) and a funded part, which is formed over the entire period of work.

After age 80, the fixed pension increases by 100%.

If a pensioner has dependents, a third of the basic portion is paid for each (but not more than for three people).
The increase is due to persons receiving insurance pensions.

Recipients of social benefits and survivor benefits are deprived of this privilege.

To double the payment you need to switch to an insurance pension.

Is it increasing and by how much?

Pensioners at the age of 80 are assigned another fixed payment to their insurance pension.

How it increases: payments are automatically increased by the entire base portion (by 4,559 rubles in 2020).

This rule has been in effect since Soviet times.

What payments are due?

Long-lived pensioners are entitled to three types of payments:

100% increase in fixed pension;
compensation for persons caring for a pensioner;
fixed payments for dependents.

Installed size

The basic pension in 2020 is 4,559 rubles.

Consequently, for persons over 80 years of age, the amount of payments doubles and amounts to 9,118 rubles. The government indexes pensions every year, so payments regularly increase.

What an increase: the exact amount of indexation will be known in January of this year, Goskomstat will publish information on inflation. In 2020, the indexation percentage was 4%.

Pension after 80 years in 2020-2017

Recalculation of fixed payments after 80 years is carried out once. This is handled by the Pension Fund; pensioners themselves do not need to do anything.

It is important to remember that doubling the pension base is carried out for two reasons:

reaching 80 years of age;
presence of disability of the first group.

Therefore, for citizens for whom recalculation was made earlier (due to disability of the first group), the amount of payments remains the same.

Increases and surcharges

Recipients of labor pensions at the age of 80 are entitled to a guaranteed increase in cash payments. The pension is increased by doubling the fixed part.

Social

Citizens receiving social compensation are not entitled to an increase. You can count on doubling only when switching to insurance benefits.

For family members - for caring for the elderly

Many elderly people need help from relatives or strangers.

If a pensioner is unable to take care of himself independently, and someone else does it, the right to receive additional compensation arises.

An additional payment is assigned to persons caring for a pensioner who are not registered with the employment service.

Requirements for caregivers:

ability to work;
lack of a registered pension;
lack of official employment;
lack of unemployment benefits;
age – over 14 years.

Amount of assistance to carers in 2020:

1200 rubles (care for disabled people of the first group, persons over 80 years old, citizens who cannot independently provide care after hospital treatment);
5,500 rubles (care for disabled children, disabled children of the first group, if care is provided by a close relative);
1200 rubles – care for disabled children, disabled children of the first group, if assistance is provided by outsiders.

If the assistant has found a job, he needs to notify the Pension Fund within five working days. After this, the accrual of compensation stops.

If this rule is ignored, the Pension Fund has the right to recover the transferred amounts.

To apply for a supplement, you must come to the pension office at your place of residence and write an application.

The application indicates the full name of the pensioner and the caregiver, dates of birth, passport details, and addresses.

The documents you will need are:

passport;
work record (pensioner and caregiver);
certificate of absence of pension assignment;
certificate of absence of registration with the employment service;
certificate from the place of study (if a student is caring for you);
the pensioner’s statement of consent to the assignment of compensation;
consent of a parent or guardian to provide care (for persons 15-17 years old).

After receiving the documents, the pension fund employee issues a certificate indicating the date of submission of the papers.

The application processing period is ten working days. Compensation is provided after one month.

To receive compensation, it does not matter where the caregiver lives (together with the pensioner or separately, or whether he is a family member.

According to the new rules, caregivers are also awarded additional pension points (1.8 for one year of assistance).

If there are dependents

If an eighty-year-old pensioner has dependents, the additional payment is:

10,584 rubles – for one dependent;
12096 rubles – for two;
13,608 rubles – for three.

Recalculation is carried out automatically by the Pension Fund. There is no need to submit any additional application. The supplement is only for three dependents, no more.

Military

Supplements to military pensions are carried out according to general rules.

In accordance with Article 17 of Federal Law No. 4468-1, retired military personnel are entitled to:

100% increase in the basic part - disabled people of the first group or citizens over 80 years old;
unemployed pensioners who depend on disabled persons - from 32% to 100% of the fixed pension;
32% - for WWII participants who are not disabled;
64% are WWII participants over 80 years old who are not disabled.

Toward a northern pension

Pension benefits for persons living in the northern regions are calculated taking into account regional coefficients.

Pensioners with fifteen years of work experience in the Far North, living in any localities, receive an additional 5,767 rubles.

Thus, residents of the northern regions can count not only on doubling the base, but also on additional funds, which are accrued taking into account regional coefficients. This provision can be found in Resolution No. 249 of March 18, 2020.

In Moscow

Residents of the capital and the Moscow region, like all other citizens of the Russian Federation, upon reaching the age of eighty receive a pension supplement in the amount of 100% of the basic part.

Additional payments are also provided to unemployed pensioners who have been registered in Moscow for more than ten years if their pension is less than the city social standard.

The surcharge increases the overall amount of pensions to the level of the capital’s social standard.

Persons registered for less than ten years are also entitled to accruals. But in this case, the amounts reach the level of the subsistence minimum, and not the social standard.

Payments are indexed once a year, the next indexation is January 2020. Documentary proof of actual residence is not required.

The total registration period must be ten years or more.

Disabled person of groups 1 and 2

Disabled people of the first group receive a recalculation regardless of their age. For this category of citizens, the basic part was initially increased, so after eighty years the pension remains the same.

Until January 1, 2010, disabled people of the second group with a third degree of disability were treated as disabled people of the first group. Fixed payments for them have also been increased by 100%, so when they reach the age of 80, no bonuses are provided.

It should also be taken into account that disabled people of the second group with restrictions on work activity of the third degree do not have the right to claim a compensatory additional payment for care. This is only possible after 80 years.

After 90 years

For some time, additional payments to pensioners over 90 years of age were carried out on the initiative of the leadership of individual districts from local budget funds. This was possible only if there was money in the budget for these purposes.

Lately, such assistance has not been provided. Federal pension legislation does not provide for pension supplements for persons over 90 years of age.

Upon reaching the age of eighty, the benefit increases according to the general rules.

How much do they pay extra?

How much will the pension increase: the basic pension portion in 2020 is 4,559 rubles; in 2020, these figures are not yet known, since the indexation percentage has not been announced.

The amount of payments for citizens over 80 years of age doubles and amounts to 9,118 rubles. The pension is increased every year - based on indexation.

How is the amount calculated?

The calculation occurs in the Pension Fund automatically based on the existing database. The pensioner does not need to go anywhere, since the pension fund employees have all the necessary information.

How to apply?

The Pension Fund calculates the bonus independently; no paperwork is required from the pensioner. The application is submitted only to obtain compensation for care. If an elderly person cannot appear at the pension office in person, the application must be certified by a notary.

Documents

Documents are submitted only in case of registration of compensation for care.
