At what age is the social pension calculated? Who is entitled to a social pension: categories of citizens, conditions for obtaining

Russian legislation provides for several types of pensions. Among the common ones that do not have departmental or industry specifics are insurance and social old-age pensions. What is the specificity of each of them? How are they fundamentally different from each other?

Insurance pension: terms of appointment

Before considering the difference between insurance and social pensions, let's get acquainted with the conditions for the appointment of each of them. Let's start with insurance. It is appointed on the condition that the applicant for a pension:

• has reached the statutory retirement age;
• has a minimum length of service and the minimum value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC) for the appointment of an insurance pension.

The pension can be:

• issued in the cases provided for by law ahead of schedule - before reaching retirement age;
• paid along with wages (adjusted for some features of indexation - which may be different for working and non-working pensioners).

Note that the insurance pension of a non-working pensioner is in any case subject to indexation - in an amount that is determined taking into account inflation.

Probably, the main difference between the insurance pension and the social pension in essence is the size and principles of its calculation. In the case of the type of pension under consideration, it is calculated according to a fairly complex formula, which takes into account, in particular:

• experience;
• salary;
• region of employment;
• the structure of the pension account (with or without a funded component, with or without additional capitalization under co-financing programs).

An insurance pension can be transferred to the management of the PFR or a non-state pension fund (in terms of the funded component of the pension). This procedure is regulated by separate norms of the law.

Now - about the specifics of social pensions.

Social pension: terms of appointment

The most important difference between the insurance and social pensions is that when appointing the second one, the length of service and IPC do not matter. They may not exist at all - if a person, in principle, did not work (or received a salary “in an envelope”). The main criterion for receiving a social pension is reaching the legal age.

It is significantly higher than that defined for the insurance pension. But apart from this nuance, social pension and insurance pension have a large number of other differences in essence - in particular, in terms of:

• employment conditions upon receipt of a pension;
• determining the amount of pension payments;
• conditions for receiving a pension ahead of schedule - before the statutory retirement age;
• conditions for the transfer of pensions to the management of the NPF;
• indexing terms.

It is worth mentioning separately that within the framework of pension insurance (social insurance) programs, along with old-age pensions, there are a number of other types of pensions (with special conditions for receiving):

• on disability (which can be insurance or social);
• for the loss of a breadwinner (insurance or social).

There are various departmental, corporate pensions - but their purpose is outside the jurisdiction of federal laws.

Let us visualize the difference between insurance and social pensions (assuming that we are talking about old-age pensions) using a small table.

Similarities and differences between pensions: table

* When a person lives in the regions of the Far North (applies to both types of pensions), when performing certain types of heavy work and when working in harmful and dangerous working conditions (in the case of an insurance pension), the retirement age can be significantly reduced.

With all the indisputability of the differences between the social pension and the insurance pension discussed above, it would be fair to say that the first is intended for situational (temporary or permanent) replacement of the second. That is, a social pension is issued, first of all, for the reason that a person is not entitled - due to a lack of experience or a shortage of IPK, to claim a regular insurance pension, while the state needs to provide him with at least some financial support in old age .

Citizens who are not entitled to a regular pension can count on a social one. To what extent can it be calculated? What are the conditions for obtaining it?

Who is eligible for a pension?

A social pension is an amount of money that:

1. It can be an independent type of payment, alternative to the regular old-age pension.

As a rule, a social pension is assigned if a citizen does not have the right to other types of pension. At the same time, it is classified into 3 main varieties:

• disability pension;
• survivor's pension;
• social benefits for old age.

It is necessary to distinguish the social pension in these varieties from the labor pension for people with disabilities and the survivor's pension for family members of military personnel and other categories of citizens who are on state support. As a rule, social payments in the varieties under consideration are inferior in size to most other pensions.

Who is entitled to the payment in question?

Entitlement to a disability pension- as varieties of the considered social payments, have:

• adults with disabilities;
• children with disabilities.

Those who have lost one or both parents have the right to a survivor's pension:

• children;
• adult citizens who study full-time (at the same time, a pension is assigned before graduation, provided that it ends before the citizen reaches the age of 23 years).

The specified pension is assigned if the deceased breadwinner had no work experience, or if his death is connected with the criminal actions of relatives. In other cases, payments are calculated according to principles not related to the calculation of social pensions.

The following persons are entitled to social benefits for old age:

• representatives of small nationalities living in the North, aged 55 (men) and 50 (women);
• all Russian citizens aged 65 (men) and 60 (women).

At the same time, the second category of citizens loses the right to the pension in question during periods of employment - if it involves the deduction of monetary amounts from the employee's salary towards pension contributions. Such deductions are taken into account when calculating a regular pension, and it is possible that, upon dismissal, a person will gain sufficient experience to apply for it. The usual old-age pension, as a rule, is much larger than the social one.

Separate social payments are established for children and students of adult citizens (until graduation, which ends before a person reaches 23 years old), whose parents are unknown.

In all these cases, the condition for assigning payments is the incapacity for work of the recipient. This is another difference between a social pension and a regular one. It is assumed that a citizen does not have the opportunity to earn money, and for this reason the state helps him - at least in the considered minimum values ​​​​(further we will consider how much a pension can be accrued).

1. May be a calculated value that is used to calculate other individual pensions or supplements to them (similar to how the minimum wage is applied for various purposes).

For example - allowances for military pensions for years of service.

Thus, the social pension has a dual function.

Having considered the conditions for the appointment of social payments, we will study how the social pension is calculated in the traditional sense of this state guarantee. That is, as a social benefit, an alternative to other pensions, which is provided by the state due to the inability of a citizen to issue a regular, usually higher, pension.

The considered pension is calculated:

1. In the amount of 5034 rubles 25 kopecks per month, if the recipient:

• a representative of the people of the North or any other Russian citizen (in both cases, taking into account separate age criteria);
• has a disability of group 2 (but does not have a disability since childhood);
• is a minor or an adult student (under 23 years of age) who has lost a parent.

1. In the amount of 12,082 rubles 6 kopecks per month, if a person has a disability of group 1 since childhood or is a minor with a disability.
2. In the amount of 10,068 rubles 53 kopecks per month, if the recipient:

• has a disability of 1 group;
• has a disability of 1 group since childhood;
• is a minor citizen, or a minor student (under 23 years old) who has lost both parents;
• is a minor citizen whose parents are unknown.

1. In the amount of 4,279 rubles 14 kopecks per month, if the recipient has a disability of the 3rd group.

In all cases, pensions can be additionally increased using district coefficients if the recipient lives:

• in the Far North and territories equated to it;
• in regions with difficult climatic conditions.

But as soon as a citizen moves to a region for which these special living conditions are not typical, the coefficient does not apply.

The amount of social benefits for old age, which is issued to all citizens, taking into account the age criterion, cannot be less than the previously paid disability pension if it was assigned before reaching the maximum age for receiving it.

The most important criterion for calculating social benefits is the use of the indexation coefficient. In general, the formula applies here:

PENSION \u003d PAYMENT * COEF, where:

PENSION - actual pension;

PAYMENT - the basic part of the pension;

COEF - a coefficient used in accordance with the law for the purpose of indexing the basic part of the pension.

At the same time, the value of the indicator PAYMENT depends on the category of the recipient of the pension. For example, if the recipient is a child who has lost one of the parents, then the figure will be 5034 rubles 25 kopecks. If the recipient is a child who has lost both parents, then the figure will be 10,068 rubles 53 kopecks.

The KOEF indicator is set at the legislative level - by separate regulations issued by the Government of Russia. At the same time, when calculating the current value of the PENSION indicator, the normative acts previously issued by the Government that establish the value of the COEF indicator are also taken into account.

The most recent regulation that established the KOEF indicator is Decree of the Government of Russia No. 302. According to it, a social pension is considered from April 1, 2018.

For example, in accordance with the specified normative act, the average amount of the pension in question in 2018 should increase by 255 rubles compared to 2017.

If the recipient of the pension in question is a non-working citizen, then the payment he receives, supplemented by other accountable income, cannot be less than the subsistence level determined by the legislation of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. The list of relevant recognized income includes:

• various social payments (except lump sums);
• all pensions received;
• various compensations (utilities, transport services).

The actual content of payments can be regulated by the provisions of federal and regional legislation (as, in fact, the cost of living). Depending on the grounds for calculating additional payments up to the subsistence level, funds are transferred to the citizen at the expense of the federal or regional budget.

How to apply for a pension?

To apply for a pension in question, you must:

1. Prepare a list of documents required by law.

In general, it will be presented:

• application in the prescribed form;
• passport;
• if necessary - documents certifying the age of the applicant, his place of residence;
• other documents at the request of regulatory authorities.

In some cases, the application does not need to be included in the list - for example, if the recipient has ever previously taken out the pension in question.

1. Transfer the collected documents to the FIU or the city MFC (if it is known that the MFC has the necessary authority to accept documents for social pensions).

This can be done personally by the applicant or his authorized representative. It is possible to apply for help to the employer, to use electronic channels of interaction with the FIU.

The payment is scheduled from the 1st day of the month of applying for it. In this case, not earlier than the day on which the applicant became entitled to the pension in question. An exception is established for pensions issued not for the first time:

• applicants who previously received payments that are provided to minors with disabilities;
• applicants who previously received those payments that are provided to adult citizens who have reached the age of 65 years (men) and 60 years (women).

It is assumed that the termination of previously provided payments is associated with the achievement by a citizen of the age limit for receiving them. And this is what determines the special approach of the legislator to the rules for granting subsequent payments.

The old-age benefit assigned to a citizen is paid indefinitely. Disability payment - in accordance with the period in which the citizen is recognized as disabled (an option with indefinite payments is possible). The survivor's benefit is granted as long as the recipient remains disabled (an option with indefinite payments is possible).

Like a regular pension, the considered one is transferred to a citizen on a monthly basis. A person has the right to independently determine the method of receiving it - through a bank, Russian Post, or at home.

Welcome to website. In the article we will talk about the pension, which is due to the elderly. Once a person reaches a certain age, he is entitled to an old-age pension.

The 2019 old-age pension is assigned not only upon reaching the retirement age, which is 60.5 years for men and 55.5 years for women, but also subject to other necessary conditions. It also requires the necessary insurance experience for its appointment. In Russia, the most commonly assigned type of pension is the old-age pension.

In our country at the moment there are several pension types that are assigned and paid to citizens. They differ from each other in terms of appointment. According to the law, pension payments can be:

1. Old-age insurance pension, or in other words labor pension - in order to receive it, you need to reach the required age, have a minimum work experience and the number of pension points.
2. Social pension - the appointment of these payments is made in certain cases, loss of a breadwinner, disability and citizens who have reached the required age, but do not have the necessary length of service.
3. State pension - this payment is a compensation for lost income to certain categories of citizens, these include test pilots affected by radiation and others. This payment requires specific conditions - the absence of any income, seniority and others.

The procedure for calculating the old-age pension

In accordance with the law, an old-age pension in Russia is assigned only if a number of mandatory conditions are met, these include:

• Reaching retirement age is 65 for men and 60 for women.
• Seniority. Every year the number of working years will increase, in 2019 this figure stopped at 10 years.
• The presence of a certain number of pension points in the account. Every year the minimum amount of points will increase, in 2019 16.2 points are required.

Citizens who wish to apply for an old-age labor pension should know that only those years in which a person worked officially are taken into account, that is, the employer made transfers to the insurance fund. Informal work is not included in the pension calculation. Therefore, everyone who wants to receive this pension must work officially.

Social pension and its differences from insurance

Retirement in Russia involves several types of pension payments:

• Insurance payment - is assigned to citizens upon reaching retirement age and the presence of seniority.
• The state payment is assigned to certain categories, such as military personnel, participants in the Second World War and others.
• Social payment is assigned to disabled people and citizens who do not have the necessary work experience.

Each of these payments is also divided into subspecies, which depend on the conditions required for its appointment. The social old-age pension in 2019 is a fixed payment that is paid from the federal budget to citizens who, due to many reasons, for example, illness or a difficult life situation, did not work during their lives, or have seniority, but it is not enough to assign another type pension payment.

To identify the differences between a social pension and insurance payments, it is necessary to find out the conditions under which one or another type of pension is assigned. The assignment of a social pension is made if one of the conditions for the insurance pension is not fulfilled.

The main condition is to reach the required age. This year, the retirement age is 65 for men and 60 for women. But there are a number of reasons why a person can retire earlier than these years. An additional condition is the presence of the necessary coefficient, that is, pension points:

• In 2017, their number was 11.4 points.
• In 2018, 13.8 points are required.
• In 2019, 16.2 points will be required.

The number of points will increase every year until it reaches 30 by 2025.

Another additional condition is the presence of a certain work experience. This condition is also mandatory. It is also necessary to have deductions to the insurance fund during the length of service. In 2018, it was necessary to have 9 years of work experience, but every year its number will increase:

• In 2019, you must have 10 years of work experience.
• In 2020, it is required to have 11 years of work experience.
• In 2021, you will need to have 12 years of work experience.
• In 2022, you will need to have 13 years of work experience.
• In 2023, it will be necessary to have 14 years of work experience.
• In 2024, it will be necessary to have 15 years of work experience.

The social pension is financed directly from the federal budget, while the insurance pension is funded by a pension fund whose budget consists of:

1. Insurance premiums.
2. Social tax deductions.
3. funds from the federal budget.
4. Funds deducted from capitalization.

Which of the pensioners can count on a social pension

Citizens who meet a number of the following criteria are entitled to a social old-age pension:

• At the time of reaching retirement age, but at the same time if a person does not have enough work experience or retirement points.
• Disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3, as well as disabled children who have become adults. These citizens have never been officially employed. At the same time, the reason for the disability and at what time it was received does not matter. A disability group is assigned only after a medical and social examination.
• Children with disabilities, that is, citizens who were born with a pathology or received a disability after birth.
• In the event of the loss of a breadwinner, that is, if after the death of a person in the family there are children who have not reached the age of majority, or other citizens who are disabled dependents. These citizens are eligible to apply for this type of pension. Children are entitled to a pension up to the age of 18, if they are full-time students, the pension is paid up to the age of 23.
• Indigenous inhabitants of the Far North and other regions that are equated to them.

The appointment of an old-age pension is subject to certain conditions. The main factor after the appointment of this pension is the recipient's lack of additional income, otherwise the payment will be terminated. The location of the recipient and his age also play an important role.

All citizens of the Russian Federation have the full right to the appointment of social benefits for old age, if their work experience is less than 9 years and an old-age insurance pension is not assigned. If a person has a permanent place of residence on the territory of Russia, and the citizenship of another state, then he has the right to apply for the appointment of this payment to the pension fund.

In accordance with the law, this citizen must have a residence permit, which will confirm the citizen's residence in the country for more than 15 years. A foreign citizen must live in Russia for at least 15 years to receive a social pension if he does not have a work record.

In addition to the type of pension payment, a citizen must reach a certain age, which will give the right to receive a payment. To receive this benefit, you must be 65 years of age for men and 60 years of age for women.

There are exceptions under which citizens can retire earlier than the period established by law, these include the peoples of the Far North:

• Aleuts.
• Nenets.
• Chukchi.
• Evenki.
• Itelmens.

The law that gives these peoples the right to receive a pension ahead of schedule was adopted back in 1999. The law prescribes the age at which a person can retire. The purpose of this document is to support residents who lead a nomadic lifestyle, run a household and are engaged in folk crafts. For this category, the retirement age is:

• 55 years old male.
• 50 years old woman.

This old-age pension is issued subject to a certain procedure:

• Before a pension is assigned, it is necessary to collect the necessary package of documents and write an application of the required sample for the appointment of a social pension.
• Come to the appropriate organization and submit documents.
• Wait until the documents are reviewed and the decision is made. By law, the application is considered within 10 days, after this period the recipient will receive a response.
• After making a positive decision, the PF will make an appointment and payment depending on the region of residence of the recipient.
• The receipt of the first payment must occur no later than the next month, after the documents have been submitted. That is, if the application and documents were submitted in May, then the first pension should be paid in June.

This pension is calculated only if the recipient himself becomes the initiator. That is, if the submission of documents did not occur, then the pension fund will not appoint it on its own, since the Pension Fund employees have no grounds for appointing it. To submit documents, you must come to the appropriate organization:

• Multifunctional center - MFC.
• Pension fund at the place of registration.

Submission of documents can be carried out in one of the convenient ways, these include:

1. Personal appeal. That is, the applicant is required to collect the necessary package of documents and write an application, then contact the appropriate authority and submit them personally. When submitting the application, the date and signature must be put, after which the documents are considered accepted.
2. By registered letter. The applicant is required to send a letter with an application and copies of documents, an inventory of all sent documents must be enclosed in the envelope. After the PF receives them, the employee will sign and date the receipt of the documents in the notification stub.
3. With the help of a legal representative. In order for the legal representative to submit documents, it is necessary to draw up a notarized power of attorney. When filling out the application, it is required to write “through the applicant” and enter the data of the legal representative.
4. With the help of the Internet. To do this, you need to register on the state portal and submit an online application for the appointment of a pension payment.

An application can be written on the official website of the pension fund or by personal contact with the Pension Fund, the application form can be downloaded on the same website of the fund. All information must be entered without errors, corrections in the application are not allowed. If the application is submitted by a foreign citizen, then the application is required to indicate some data in their native language.

The application must contain the following information:

• The name and exact address of the organization to which the application is being submitted.
• Full name of the applicant.
• Passport data.
• Applicant's address.
• Address of residence or residence of the applicant.
• SNILS number.
• Applicant's contact information.
• The presence or absence of dependents of the applicant.
• Information about work, if the applicant worked officially.
• When applying for a representative, you must specify his information.
• List of documents to be provided.

Since the pension is paid from the federal budget, an appropriate basis is required for its appointment, for this you need to submit the following documents for applying for an old-age pension:

• Application of the established form.
• Pensioner's ID.
• Passport of the applicant, regardless of what citizenship he has.
• Foreigners must provide a residence permit.
• Confirmation that a person belongs to the inhabitants of the Far North.
• Power of Attorney, if the legal representative is engaged in the registration of the pension.
• Documents that confirm the existence of work experience.

A person can apply for a social old-age pension only upon reaching the legal age. The PF employee may require additional documents if they are necessary, but only those that the applicant can take from the necessary organizations.

On the indexation of social pension in 2019

The increase in the old-age pension in 2019 will be made in April, the amount of indexation is adjusted every year, and this year the indexation will be 2.4%. This method contributes to raising the pension to the established minimum of 9215 rubles.

The amount of the pension will not be lower than the subsistence minimum, which is currently set in the country. Citizens whose pension after the appointment turned out to be below the established amount will receive an additional payment, which was carried out every year.

Which of the pensioners can count on the insurance pension

• Citizens residing in the country who have reached a certain age, women 50.5 years old, and men 60.5 years old.
• Citizens of Russia who are in the public service. For this category of citizens, the retirement age will increase annually until it reaches the established figure of 63 years for women and 65 years for men.
• Citizens of Russia who have worked for at least 15 years in the Far North and areas that are equated to them, then the retirement age for women is 50 years, and for men 55 years.
• Citizens of a foreign state who have more than 15 years of work experience and have reached the retirement age of 60 years for men and 65 years for men.

Few people know how the old-age pension is calculated in 2019; for this, a special formula is used that uses the age and seniority of the applicant. It is worth knowing that seniority includes military service and years of study at a higher institution. If a person worked in harmful conditions, then he has the right to early retirement.

The minimum work experience of the applicant is not constant, it will increase every year until 2025. Along with the increase in seniority, the conditions for retirement will also change.

The amount of the insurance pension in 2019

The amount of the old-age pension in 2019 depends entirely on how the applicant has met the conditions for its award:

• 10 years of work experience.
• 16.2 retirement points.

In accordance with the law, the minimum pension cannot be less than the subsistence minimum, in 2019 it will be about 8846 rubles. The difference between the assigned pension and the subsistence minimum is paid to pensioners in the form of an additional payment.

The average old-age pension in 2019 is 14,500 rubles. An increase in the amount of the pension occurs in two ways:

1. Annual compensation. It has always been made on February 1, this year the pension was indexed by 7.05% on January 1.
2. Indexing of pensions for working pensioners is not carried out; on August 1, an annual recalculation of the pension is carried out in accordance with the points that have been accumulated.

The new pension system does not allow a working pensioner to accumulate more than 3 points per year, provided that his salary is 22,000 rubles.

To apply for an insurance pension, you must go through a certain procedure:

1. Prepare documents that confirm the length of service and benefits.
2. Write an application and submit documents.
3. If necessary, bring additional documents.
4. Wait for a positive decision and start receiving a pension.

An application for the appointment of a pension must be submitted to the nearest branch of the Pension Fund or through the branch of the MFC. An application can be submitted in several ways:

• Personal appeal.
• With the help of a legal representative.
• Write an application on the PF website.
• Send it by registered mail.
• Submit through your employer.

Russian citizens who have left for another country should only apply to the FIU. The date of the person's appeal is the date of writing the application, in case of electronic filing - the time of sending the application. It is worth knowing that writing an application and submitting documents is done 30 days before the retirement age.

In addition to the written application, the applicant must provide an additional package with the necessary documents:

• Passport, residence permit for foreigners.
• SNILS.
• Employment book, or other documents that confirm the presence of the required work experience.
• Salary data for the last 5 years.
• Documents that confirm early retirement.

Consideration of the application will be carried out within 10 days from the date of its submission, and documents for appointment are prepared within 3 months. If this deadline is not observed, then the deadline for submission becomes the day of submission of the last document.

The assignment of payments is carried out from the moment the application is submitted, but not earlier than from the day of the retirement age. But if the applicant quits his job and prepares documents within a month, then the appointment may occur earlier, from the day of dismissal from work.

The pension is paid monthly, and the recipient has the right to independently choose the method of receiving the pension. In addition to the recipient, a legal representative can receive a pension, but this requires a notarized power of attorney, which is provided at the place of registration of the pensioner.

There are several ways to deliver a pension payment, the recipient independently chooses a method convenient for him, these include:

1. With the help of the Russian Post. The pension can be delivered to your home or the recipient receives it at the post office. If the pension is delivered at home, then it is necessary to clarify the delivery time in advance. If the pension becomes unclaimed within six months, the payment is suspended until all circumstances are clarified.
2. Through the bank. The pension can be transferred to a bank card or received at a bank branch. Money is credited to the card without commission, and withdrawals can occur at any convenient time.
3. With the help of a special organization that deals with the direct delivery of pensions. You can receive a pension both in the organization itself and arrange home delivery.

Pension below the subsistence level - is there a way out of the situation?

Many retirees ask what kind of old-age pension will be accrued in 2019. In some regions, the pension is below the established subsistence level. In accordance with the list of the subsistence minimum in the regions of the country, it becomes clear that the size of the pension also differs greatly. But such a difference does not mean that pensioners in these regions will suffer hardships.

In those situations when an old-age pension is issued, the amount of the pension payment becomes lower than the subsistence minimum established in the region, the pensioner is entitled to a supplement. This allowance compensates for the difference between the pension and the subsistence level, it occurs in accordance with regional laws and is regulated by local authorities.

The average minimum pension amount in the country in 2019 is 12,115 rubles, regardless of whether there are supplements to this pension or not.

Our legal authority guarantees the provision of a pension after the appropriate age. For those who do not have the required number of years worked, no matter for what reason, social benefits are assigned according to age.

In what cases it is issued, and what documents need to be submitted, you need to carefully study and find out how much the social old-age pension is now.

Social pensions for disabled citizens are different, differing in the reason for their appointment: for health reasons, for age, and also for the loss of a breadwinner.

Who is entitled to a social pension? This provision for old age is assigned upon reaching a certain age, which is 65 years for men and 60 years for women.

What is important, the age when going on vacation with the prescribed number of years worked comes earlier by five years. This is the main difference.

The age can change only for the small peoples of the North. At the same time, it is required that the pensioner has lived in the area for a long time and has the appropriate nationality, and also maintains traditions. For these groups of people, the minimum age payment is set ten years earlier. For men - at 55 years old, for women - at 50 years old.

Who is supposed to

Retirement due to old age is assigned when a person has reached these years, but does not have the required number of years worked for the appointment of a standard pension.

How much is an unemployed pension? In fact, it is rarely more than the cost of living in this part of the country.

According to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, any citizen has the right to pensions after reaching old age. In addition, the legislative framework is the Federal Law “On Pension Provision”. Under this legislation, the following categories of people can receive social support:

• people who are considered stateless;
• citizens of the Russian Federation;
• disabled;
• foreign persons who have been living in our country for 15 years.

The small peoples of the North who receive social benefits 10 years earlier include:

1. Evenki.
2. Chukchi.
3. Nenets.
4. Aleuts.
5. Itelmens.

You can receive a social benefit upon reaching the age only if, for some reason, it is impossible to receive standard security. Most often this happens when a person has not worked officially during his life, and he does not have a confirmed work record.

A person in the process of labor makes deductions through the one who provided the work to a special fund, from where the accrual and calculation of payments in old age take place. A person who does not work and does not receive deductions cannot count on a full pension. But the receipt of social security upon reaching a certain age is guaranteed to him in any case.

What documents are required

Let's figure out how to get a pension if there is no work experience. To apply for social security by age, you must apply with a full package of documents directly to the Pension Fund where a person permanently resides, or to a special Multifunctional Center for Public Services.

This can be done by yourself, as well as through a person you trust. The power of attorney must be signed at a notary's office. The trustee must come to the Pension Fund strictly with this paper. There is another way to contact the right organization - a valuable letter through the Russian Post, strictly with an inventory of the contents of this envelope.

To receive a monthly social payment, you need to collect a certain package of documents and submit them to the Pension Fund or the MFC. These documents include:

1. Passport.
2. If a person who wants to receive social security is part of the peoples of the Far North, you need to bring and show a paper that proves that the person has lived there for at least 15 years. In addition, a document indicating nationality and place of birth is required.
3. Statement.
4. Employment record, if there are years of work.

After the documents are collected and submitted to the Pension Fund, the application is considered within 10 days. In case of a positive decision, payments are accrued from the moment the application is submitted.

A citizen receiving an allowance can determine the place of receiving it himself. The options may be different: receiving to a personal account, they can bring home, and also transfer to a card. A trustee can also receive payments, but only after informing the Pension Fund.

The date of acceptance of the application, which came by mail, is certified by a stamp placed on the envelope; if the documents were submitted through the MFC, then the day the application was accepted.

Now about the sizes. Pensions and social payments in 2017 are clearly calculated for certain parts of the country. In this case, the number is recalculated on April 1. At the moment, retirement without insurance experience means paying 5,034 rubles a month until the death of a citizen. In addition, the federal social supplement for retirement is guaranteed. It is paid in areas where the cost of living is lower than elsewhere. At the same time, the minimum social pension in Russia should not be less than the subsistence minimum in the region.

Conclusion

Pensions, allowances, compensation payments, social benefits are forms of state support for citizens who belong to socially unprotected segments of the population. For those who do not have the required years of work, the state still provides social benefits based on age. True, it is appointed five years later, and its size is not more than the subsistence minimum.

To apply, you just need to contact the Pension Fund at the place of residence, write an application, and you can expect a decision. In any case, older citizens are not left without the support of their country. This right is guaranteed by the Constitution.

This is a monthly payment of material assistance to disabled citizens who do not have insurance experience. The purpose of this pension provision is material assistance to persons who have no other sources of income.

It is important to note that funds for social pensions come from the state budget, and not from insurance premiums, which actually distinguishes it from insurance pension provision.

The main provisions of the social payment are regulated by the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ "On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation".

Types of social pension provision for citizens

Based on the Federal Law of 15.2.2001 N 166-FZ, the following types of pensions are distinguished:

Social benefits for children who have lost one or both parents are paid in full, regardless of the number of dependents in the family.

In the absence of the right to an old-age insurance pension

The main condition for the appointment of this type of pension is the onset of "incapacity for work", i.e. reaching the age of 65 for men and 60 for women. The following are eligible for old age benefits:

1. citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the specified age;
2. Foreign citizens who have lived in Russia for at least 15 years and have reached the legal age.

In addition, social pensions by age do not pay during the implementation of labor activity, during which citizens are insured in the OPS system in accordance with the law "On Compulsory Pension Insurance in the Russian Federation".

Pension provision for the peoples of the Far North

A special place is allocated to residents of the regions of the Far North, who do not have seniority. For the appointment of pensions to such citizens, only two conditions must be met:

1. Permanent residence in the Far North.
2. Reaching the age of 55 for men and 50 for women.

The small peoples of the North include only those citizens who permanently reside on the territory of the Far North, in the areas of settlement of their ancestors and lead a traditional way of life and fishing for those places.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1049 approved the lists of the small peoples of the North (they include Eskimos, Chukchi, Lamuts, Kereks).

Sizes of social pensions and indexation in 2017

The amounts of social pension payments vary and depend on the type of pension granted and the category of their recipients. The amounts of pensions established before April 1, 2017 are shown in the table below.

The amount of pension payments each year should be indexed to the level of actual inflation of the previous year. If the final amount of payments is below the subsistence level established in the region of residence, then the recipients may be assigned a social supplement.

Pensions for residents of the North are increased by a district coefficient for the entire stay in this place. When a pensioner leaves the "northern" territories, the coefficient is canceled.

Order of appointment and payments

To assign a social pension, citizens must provide:

1. identity document;
2. statement;
3. documents necessary to confirm various circumstances, which may differ for different categories of recipients.

The required list of securities can be submitted at any time after the entitlement to this type of pension provision. You can apply for payment at multifunctional center (MFC) or to the territorial authority (at the place of residence) Pension Fund of Russia (PFR). Moreover, documents are provided both personally and through a legal representative. An application for appointment can be submitted through a personal account on the official website of the PFR.

Pay appointed from the 1st month in which the citizen applied for it, but not earlier than the day the right to it comes. Payments are made monthly.

The recipient of the pension provision has the right to choose the organization and method of delivery of the pension provision. There are several such organizations - these can be the Russian Post, bank branches or an organization that delivers pensions.

Concerning payment methods, then there are several of them:

1. at home;
2. in person at the branch of the organization;
3. to the bank card.

You can also issue a power of attorney to receive pension funds. You can draw it up yourself, but it requires certification by a notary or directly in the organization where the pensioner receives payments. To do this, it is necessary for the recipient himself and the authorized person to apply to these branches with identification documents (passport).
