Next year, Russian pensioners are waiting for a triple increase in pensions. Truth, we are talking on increasing once for three different categories of recipients of payments - labor and social pensions, as well as pensions for working pensioners. In general, the draft budget does not contain anything new - everything is as usual. However, officials still decided to make some amendments to this process. In particular, the Ministry of Finance promised that pensions for retired and retired old people will be increased by a factor exceeding the rate of inflation.

The expected inflation rate in 2019 is 3.2%. The indexation coefficient, in turn, should reach 6.6%, which is almost 3 percentage points higher. This seemingly insignificant "handout" to pensioners is perceived by the financial department as a real achievement. Firstly, the Ministry of Finance rarely approves such ideas, and secondly, it turns out that this should support pensioners after so many years of falling insurance payments they receive. To whom and by how much will pensions be increased, and what is the reason for this?

To whom and for how long?

The indexation of pensions will begin in an unconventional way for Russia - already in January, and it is in January that it will cover the most large group its recipients are unemployed old people. By general rule, the increase should date from February, which is due to the need to calculate the annual inflation rate. In 2020, since indexing will be carried out at a higher level, it was decided not to wait for the results of extras. As the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin has already voiced, in order to ensure a “more significant” increase in pensions, they will rise by 6.6% from January. It is worth noting that inflation in 2019 exceeds all the expectations of officials - the initially set level was supposed to be about 4%. But since today it has not even exceeded 3%, a 6.6% increase in pensions will in any case be higher than inflation, so it would seem that a real increase in pensions for Russian old people is guaranteed.

The pensions of the so-called social pensioners will not be left without indexation next year. In Russia, it is received by disabled people, veterans, certain categories of dependents, as well as those who, by the time they reach retirement age, could not accumulate enough years insurance experience. Today it averages about 9.2 thousand rubles. True, the increase is scheduled only for April 2020, but the indexation coefficient will also be higher than the inflation rate and will be 7%. Let us note that the size of this pension seriously depends on the basis for its appointment: some disabled people receive 15-16 thousand rubles, while many old people who do not have the necessary length of service receive 5-6 thousand rubles.

The third, who are supposed to be indexed by law, are working pensioners, of which today there are about 12-14 million people. But a few years ago it was canceled and next year there are no plans to restore it, as the Secretary of Labor made clear. But at the same time, working pensioners continue to pay insurance premiums, which are annually converted into points, so leaving them without raising pensions is at least criminal. Therefore, in August 2020, they will receive a pension increase depending on the points earned. The cost of one point will be 93 rubles next year. The maximum increase in pension is 3 points. Thus, regardless of the level of salary and deductions, the maximum increase for working pensioners will be 279 rubles. Better than last years

In fact, any changes in the indexation order will affect only non-working pensioners. In the past 2017, in order to save money, as we remember, indexation was carried out only by a third of the level of price growth set by the government: instead of increasing by almost 13%, pensions increased by only 4%. At the beginning of the year, another 5,000 rubles of lump-sum assistance were paid to the elderly as compensation. True, these funds can only be compensated for moral damage - financial losses in the future are estimated much more seriously than 5 thousand rubles. Therefore, it cannot be ruled out that the promised increase of 0.5 percentage points above the level of price growth next year is introduced as a partial cover for these losses. Although the size of such a “half-percent handout” and 8.9 percentage points of under-indexation in 2016 are, of course, incomparable, the Ministry of Finance is confident that all the losses of the elderly are “practically compensated.”

However, there are a number of other obvious reasons that determine the desire of officials to increase payments above inflation. In particular, the growth in income of the Pension Fund, which the government refers to, became the argument by which the Cabinet justified the need for indexation to a higher level, and even a month earlier.

Let us note that the funds necessary for such not only “generous”, but early indexation, have already been included in the draft federal budget earlier. But how it was presented to the public is a completely different question. Not only is the “additional income” of the PFR ordered to be paid to pensioners from the very beginning of the year, and this is a whole month earlier, the payment itself is also presented as a measure that restores social justice. They say that in the conditions of falling incomes of the population, the authorities should take care not only of the nominal, but also of the real growth of the payments assigned.

What is the real growth of pensions in the eyes of the Cabinet? On the this moment the average pension in the country is 15 thousand rubles. In the event of an increase in inflation, the pension will rise to 15.5 thousand rubles, with an increase outpacing the level of inflation - 16 thousand rubles. It turns out that the real increase in pensions will be, roughly speaking, an average of 700 rubles. For those who have a pension below the average, the increase, respectively, will also be lower.

There is money, but you hold on

“Increasing the level of material security” for the elderly for the next 2 years is also included in the forecast created by analysts from the Ministry of Economic Development. However, this wording has not changed in the macroeconomic forecast of officials for many years, which does not change anything at all. As Rosstat reports tell us real pensions old people, adjusted for the official inflation rate, are constantly falling. It is unlikely that such a drop indicates an increase in the level of well-being. It is interesting that earlier the Ministry of Economic Development predicted a higher level of inflation than the Ministry of Finance is planning. It is already clear today that their predictions were not destined to come true.

Nevertheless, no matter what the actual figures are, the government social politics based on these predictions. And if we are talking about improving the well-being of pensioners, and social policy, as declared by the government, is based on principles outpacing poverty, then over the next 2 years, pensions should be indexed by at least 15%.

As for the expected indexation of 6.6%, experts are unanimous about it: it can only cover the increase in prices for goods and services that are included in the consumer basket in a particular year. The increase will not allow to cover real inflation in any way. The fact is that even to a minimum, the reduced needs of the elderly in reality turn out to be much wider than officials believe. In addition to the socially important products and utilities included in the minimum, the elderly spend money on treatment, medicines, the purchase of cheap clothes, etc. Their situation continues to deteriorate. Interestingly, even focusing on increasing the level of material support for pensioners, in its planned forecast until 2020, the Ministry of Economic Development has already laid down a reduction in pensions - by a total of 2%.

But indexing is supposed only for non-working old people - those who work, presumably provide for themselves. In addition, in August they will also be promoted. But experts of the pension market consider this approach not only wrong, but also discriminatory: most pensioners receive a negligible earned income, which is also not able to cover the rise in prices. At the same time, they are deprived of indexation, which is a social injustice, who in the government planned to restore.

The amount of funds accumulated by the Pension Fund increased in 2019. This, according to market analysts, only means that the state has money for a more substantial indexation. Due to the situation that has arisen over the past few years, it would be logical to compensate for the under-indexation of past years. But the government does not take on such responsibility.

Introduced in 2016, the "freeze" increase insurance pension for working pensioners will continue to operate in 2018. And this means that the January indexation did not affect citizens who continue to carry out labor activities after entering a well-deserved rest. Thus, pension payments to working pensioners can only be increased if:

• , which is made on August 1 - while the amount increases by the number of pension points earned by a citizen last year (but not more than 3 points per year);
• - in this case, the citizen's pension is calculated taking into account the missed indexation from the month following the month of dismissal.

In both the first and second cases, contact the FIU and write an application for recalculation no need— these procedures are carried out on a non-declarative basis on the basis of data that, in Pension Fund provided by employers. As for dismissal, from January 1, 2018, at the legislative level, changes were made to the process of indexing pensions for working pensioners after dismissal. Until the New Year, all citizens who quit their jobs were recalculated, taking into account all the missed promotions, only three months after the dismissal.

However, after the new year, federal law No. 134-FZ of July 1, 2017 came into force, according to which a pensioner who quit after January 1, 2018, pension provision recalculated taking into account all indexations missed during the work and paid in an increased amount from the first day of the month after the termination labor activity.

At the same time, a citizen will not immediately feel the pension increase, because the process of additional accrual, as a rule, takes three months. This is due to the "technical" features of the presentation of information:

• in the first month after dismissal, the FIU receives information from the employer that the citizen is still listed as working;
• a month later, the employer will transmit data that the citizen is no longer working;
• and only a month later the FIU will decide to resume indexation.

Thus, only after three months the pensioner will receive his fully indexed insurance pension. As well as cash difference between the previous and the current (indexed) amount of payment - for all three months of the resumption of indexation, during which he did not work.

Latest news and changes

As noted above, in 2018 pension system some changes have been made. Primarily, innovations related to insurance pensions:

• firstly, in 2018, the indexation of insurance coverage was carried out a month earlier than expected - on January 1;
• secondly, the order of calculation has changed labor pension due to old age after the dismissal of a working pensioner from work - the term remains the same (3 months), but now a citizen will be able to receive cash for these months, which is the difference between the previous amount of the payment and the amount after taking into account all indexations, from the next month after the dismissal.

The changes also affected social security. Was introduced the new kind pensions social pension for children whose both parents are unknown(in other words, for "foundling children").

• At the same time, some issues were not changed in 2018. So, as before, insurance coverage for pensioners engaged in labor activity.
• in 2018 is also relevant (in general, it has been extended at least until 2020 inclusive). However, it should be noted that the formation pension savings suspended only when the employer pays insurance premiums, it is not prohibited to deposit funds into your account in the form of voluntary contributions.

Will there be a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles to pensioners in 2018?

In January 2017, all pensioners in Russia, regardless of whether they work or not, received 5,000 rubles. This amount was paid only once and was not an addition to the monthly pension.

This measure was introduced by federal law No. 385-FZ of November 22, 2016 due to the fact that in the previous 2016 the indexation of pensions was not fully carried out (by only 4% instead of 12.9%). Thus, having paid 5,000 rubles to each pensioner, the Government decided to compensate citizens for “under-indexed” funds for 2016.

In 2017, the situation changed — the total indexation of pensions amounted to 5.8%, which exceeded the level of actual inflation (5.4%). In this regard, the Government has no grounds for re-introducing this measure in 2018, and a repeated lump sum payment in the amount of 5 thousand rubles will not be.

How many points and insurance experience do you need to retire in 2018?

In accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation, the pension rights of Russians since 2015 have been formed in pension points (IPC - individual pension coefficients). According to Article 8 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 old age pension insurance can only be issued by those citizens who have reached and have a sufficient number of and.

In 2018, issue old age insurance premium persons can:

• who have reached the generally established retirement age in the country 55 years (women) and 60 years (men). For certain categories of citizens, the payment can be established ahead of schedule (miners, teachers, etc.), or vice versa, later (persons holding public office);
• having a minimum 13.8 pension points;
• seniority which is at least 9 years.

Wherein maximum points available this year - 8,7 (when forming only an insurance pension) and 5,43 (when forming insurance and funded payments).

Will there be an increase in the retirement age in 2018 in Russia?

The topic has been worrying Russians for more than a year. At least, no increase expected in 2018. However, there is no guarantee that the retirement age will not be increased in the following years, including as early as January 1, 2019. Various options raising the retirement age has been officially considered by the Government since the spring of 2018.

Despite the fact that in other countries the retirement age for a well-deserved rest has long exceeded the generally established one in Russia (for example, in Germany - by 5 years), and in the CIS countries they have already supported this initiative (in Belarus and Kazakhstan by 3 years - the increase is taking place gradually for six months every year), most Russian citizens relate to this sharply negative.

People's outrage at raising the retirement age is not surprising. The government wants to raise the bar, relying on the fact that many pensioners continue to work after receiving the provision, thus increasing the length of working age. However, most of the working pensioners are forced to continue working, as their pension is not enough to live on.

Labor pensions in Russia in 2018 for non-working pensioners will be indexed above inflation one month earlier- that is, not from February 1, as is traditionally done and established by law "About insurance pensions", a since January 1, 2018. This will be done in order to ensure next year not only a nominal increase in pensions, as has been the case for the past few years, but also their growth in real terms(that is, above the inflation rate). This increase will affect recipients of all types of insurance pensions - old age, disability and survivors, with the exception of.

In order to index pensions in 2018, a draft law was developed in a special format, which was adopted and signed by V.V. Putin on December 28, 2017.

This was announced on September 18, 2017 by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation Maxim Topilin based on the results of the Government meeting, which discussed the forecast of Russia's socio-economic development for the next 3 years, the draft federal budget and state extra-budgetary funds.

By what percentage will pensions be increased in 2018?

Thus, from January 1, 2018, based on the results of the indexation of the insurance pension by 3.7%, the size of one pension coefficient will increase from the current 78.58 to 81.49 rubles, and the base amount of the fixed payment will increase from 4805.11 to 4982.90 rubles(see table below).

In Art. 8 of the text of the introduced draft law on the budget of the Pension Fund, it was indicated that, in accordance with the rule established by part 22 of Art. 18 law "About insurance pensions", from April 1, 2018, the size of one pension coefficient will be RUB 81.96, due to which the total increase in the cost of IPC in 2018 will be (81.96 / 78.58 - 1) = 4,3% . However, in the process of considering the draft law by the State Duma, this measure expelled.

Will there be indexation for working pensioners in 2018?

Indexation of pensions in 2018 in Russia will be carried out only for those who are already retired. There are no plans to reopen in 2018.

As the head of the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation noted Anton Siluanov, it's connected with rising real wages in the country, which will continue in 2018 and which will exceed inflation in the country. In this regard, according to the Ministry of Finance, there are more opportunities to increase their income in 2018 than the unemployed. At the same time, it was once again noted that all missed indexations during the period of continuation of labor activity by pensioners will be carried out as soon as they stop working. Until then, they will only be entitled to, held annually from August 1 in an amount not exceeding 3 pension points, according to the paid ones.

Thus, while in 2018 for working pensioners, it is envisaged to maintain, which was in effect in 2016 and 2017. However, back in the spring, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev proposed to return to the discussion of this issue. In this regard, on September 18, Deputy Prime Minister for Social Affairs Olga Golodets proposed to hold another separate meeting on this issue, taking into account the interests of all interested parties.

Increase in social pension in 2018

Disabled citizens in accordance with Art. 25 federal law "On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation" are indexed in proportion to the increase in the subsistence minimum for pensioners over the past year. The indexation coefficient is determined in March immediately before it is held and is approved by a separate Government Decree.

In this regard, now the percentage of increase in social pensions can be called very tentatively. As the head of the Ministry of Labor said on September 18 Maxim Topilin, their indexation from April 1, 2018 is planned tentatively at 4.1%(forecast).

Legislative decisions of the Government of the Russian Federation provide for an increase in pension, social payments Every year. The Pension Fund (PF) in December announced the indexation of pension accruals to pensioners who do not have additional income from work. What will be the real increase in pensions for non-working pensioners in 2018, and when can we expect such an increase for citizens who have already rightfully deserved a vacation?

What is pension indexation

It is known that pensions are indexed by the Government in order to implement nationwide measures aimed at improving the quality of life of Russians and compensating for higher prices. Speaking of indexation, it is necessary to distinguish this term from the recalculation of pension insurance payments, especially since these concepts are often confused. Indexing affects exclusively non-working pensioners, and the recalculation of accruals is provided for working pensioners.

If a old man continues to work, receiving a salary, the recalculation depends on the transfers of his employer. Upon dismissal, all indexations that have occurred during his work are taken into account and after 3 months the amount of pension provision increases by the prescribed coefficients. You do not need to apply for these promotions yourself. Territorial bodies of the Pension Fund are independently engaged in calculations.

In discussions about reforming, the State Duma believes that working pensioners do not need indexation of insurance coverage, explaining this by a shortage of money in the funded part. As a possible way out of this situation, to replace the frozen pension savings of NPFs, an application is proposed for discussion of the introduction of the IPC system (individual pension capital), which would relieve the burden on the budget and increase the provision of all.

Average pension in Russia

The average annual pension provision does not depend on the subsistence level. According to the calculated data of the PFR, payments to old-age pensioners in 2018 will amount to 14 thousand rubles. on average, whereas today the pension subsistence minimum is 8496 rubles. Through indexation, the Government of the country significantly reduces the difference between these indicators. Some older Russians receive benefits below the minimum subsistence level. Such citizens are entitled to special additional payments, which are also regularly indexed simultaneously with labor pensions.

Legal regulation

Supplements to the payment of non-working pensioners in 2018 are set in accordance with the main legal documents in this area: laws "On insurance pensions" No. 400-FZ and "On state social assistance» No. 178-FZ, which provides for an annual increase from February in fixed insurance payments, a pension coefficient and social supplements for the consumer price increase index of the past year. This amount is established by the Government of the country, and the source of funds is the budget of the Pension Fund of Russia.

The cost of the coefficient every year from April is determined by the law on the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the current and next period. To implement indexing in 2018 in a special regime, it was necessary to make changes in this legal area: a law was developed, which was considered by the State Duma simultaneously with the law on the PF budget. At the end of 2018, on December 28, the President signed Law No. 420-FZ dated December 28, 2017, which approved the specifics of increasing the insurance pension for the next year. The PF budget for 2018 was adjusted by law No. 416-FZ dated December 19, 2016.

Increase in pensions for non-working pensioners

According to the new legal norms, indexation is provided for all grounds for the appointment of insurance pensions - old age or disability, loss of a breadwinner. It will be produced at a faster pace, taking into account the excess of the expected inflation in 2018. The goal is to ensure a more tangible increase in income for non-working pensioners in the new year. Simultaneously with the indexed insurance part, the cost of the pension coefficient (point) will increase.

The provision of social pensioners will not be left without an increase. This group of people includes disabled people, veterans of the Second World War, certain categories of dependents and Russians who were unable to retirement age earn the required number of years of labor (insurance) experience. For such categories, legislative changes specify that the final material support of a pensioner citizen must be at least last year(taking into account the social supplement of the current year).

The upcoming indexation is provided only for non-working elderly people, and working pensioners are supposed to provide for themselves. They are planned to increase from the earned points from August. Experts consider this approach not only erroneous, but discriminatory and socially unfair. Many pensioners work for a small income that does not cover the rise in prices, and at the same time they are deprived of indexation. According to the law, after leaving work, such citizens wait for an indexed increase for 3 months. In 2018, they will already receive an increase in security after dismissal from the 1st month.

Indexing percentage

According to the new law No. 420-FZ, the fixed insurance payment has been increased by 1,037 times and its established amount is 4982 rubles. 90 kop. The coefficient is also increased by 1.037 times and is equal to 81 rubles. 49 kop. The value of indexation, which is 3.7%, is higher than the indicator of forecasting economic inflationary processes (2.6%). On the current time the consumer price index is 3.2%. For the first time in the crisis years, the indexation of pensions for non-working citizens in 2018 was marked by a level higher than actual inflation (by 1.1%). The size of the increase in social security will be 4.1%.

When will the pension increase?

Previously, insurance (labor) pension accruals were indexed from February 1, but in 2017 the coefficients were replaced by a one-time compensation payment of 5 thousand rubles. The innovations of Law No. 420-FZ are not only a recalculation, but also a change in payment dates. It was decided to increase it ahead of schedule from January 1, 2018 and once. The effect of the relevant norms on additional periods of increase in the year has been suspended until 2018. Federal beneficiaries of indexed payments will begin to receive indexed payments from February 1, the amount of their growth takes into account the inflation forecast - 3.2 percent.

How will the insurance part change?

As a result of the approved pension growth indices from January 1, 2018 (for comparison, the data for 2017 are also indicated) will be the following values:

Individual pension coefficient in 2018

The legal basis for pension provision is reviewed every year. In 2018, in order to assign an insurance pension to a Russian, a work experience of 9 years or more is required. For counting pension payments all the rights of a retired citizen are taken into account, converted into points: the length of his work; wage; employer's insurance premiums. To qualify for an insurance pension, you need to have a total of 13.8 points. Such coefficients (pension points) also increase from January at the same time as the general indexation from 78 rubles. 28 kop. up to 81 p. 49 kop.

Fixed payment indexation

The slowdown in inflationary processes in Russia allowed the Ministry of Economic Development to predict a decline in the price index. Pension indexation funds have already been included in the country's budget in a higher amount of 3.7-3.8%, which was in line with the earlier inflation forecast. The government decided to increase the increase by 3.7 percent and make ahead of time for one month. As a result, the fixed payment is indexed by a coefficient of 1.037 times (in the amount of 4982.9 rubles) and the average annual value of the security accrued for old age is projected at the level of 14075 rubles.

Military pension from January 1, 2018

Ex-servicemen, like other persons with pensioner status, hope for an increase in state material payments and expect an increase in the so-called "reducing factor" for calculating their pensions. At the same time, the Government of the country decided to freeze the reduction factor and return to consideration of the issue of increasing it already during the budget execution.

So far, along with the indexation of pensions for non-working pensioners in 2018, the provision of military pensioners is indexed by 4 percent. Them the average size the increase will be about a thousand rubles, from 24,500 to 25,500 rubles. This will happen not from February, but from January 1, as for civilians. In addition, the President decided to conduct indexation every year for the military - employees of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee with the establishment of a monthly surcharge for the rank. These changes come into effect on February 1, 2018.

The aim of the changes is to increase social protection employees who resigned from the Prosecutor's Office or the Investigative Committee. Until 2018, military prosecutors and investigators were subordinate to the Ministry of Defense, and then they became part of the staff of the Prosecutor General's Office or the Investigative Committee. As a result, there was a difference in the provision of such pensioners. The exact amount of increase for them depends on the rank (rank) upon dismissal from the authorities.

Increase in social pensions from April 2018

The introduced amendments to the pension law also affected social pension payments. It is envisaged not only indexation of pensions for non-working pensioners in 2018, but also for working persons in this category who receive a social pension from the state. It will be 4.1%. The deadline for the increase is set from 04/01/2018. Social pensioners will be paid up to the living wage.

According to the State Statistical Service, in a number of subjects of the country the subsistence level of a pensioner has decreased, which, as a conclusion from the current legislation, entails a reduction in social benefits, but this will not be allowed by the latest legal innovations. It was decided that the amount of material security for a retired citizen should be no less than last year (taking into account current surcharges and benefits).

How much will pensions be indexed?

Currently, more than 4 million people receive social pensions. The percentage of growth for them will be 4.1% against 1.5% in 2018, and the average pension social payment will increase to 9,045 rubles, while previously social Security from the state was 8700 rubles. The pension increase in 2018 for non-working pensioners of this group will be made in the spring of the upcoming financial period: these pensioners are included in the 2nd stage of indexing.

Indexation of social payments to disabled people

The state also pays social pensions to disabled people, who are also scheduled to receive an increase. Such indexing will be carried out according to the features of the assignment of disability. So, some people receive 15,000-16,000 rubles, and many who do not have the necessary experience, who have only 5,000-6,000 rubles. These disabled disabled people with incomes below the subsistence level are entitled to additional social protection.

Social pension payments are indexed by 4.1% (for comparison: in 2018, the increase was 1.5 percent). So, the average pension for disabled people is 1st gr. from childhood or a disabled child in 2018 will reach 13,699 rubles against the previous 13,026 rubles. It is important that this coefficient is also higher than the predicted inflationary level. The amount of the final social assistance supplement depends on the group and the reason for receiving a disability (see table above).

Indexation of pensions for non-working pensioners in 2018: news about the payment

4.27/5 (11)

Last year, the country's budget included funds for a one-time payment to pensioners in the amount of 5,000 rubles. Many experts predicted a doubling of this amount for 2018.

However, the Government took a different path, and from January 1, 2018, indexation of pension payments was introduced. The changes affected non-working pensioners, as well as persons who receive social and insurance pensions.

Since last year's inflation index was only 2.5%, the indexation rate was set at 3.7%. In addition, accruals began to be made not from February, as usual, but from the beginning of the year.

It should be noted that the budget provides for funds taking into account the higher inflation index. This indicates that payments will be made on time and without delay.

Law on indexation of insurance pensions for non-working pensioners

The main legislative acts that regulate allowances for non-working pensioners in the current year are:

• Federal Law "On insurance pensions" No. 400-FZ;
• Federal Law "On State Social Assistance" No. 178-FZ.

Attention! These regulatory documents stipulate that every year, starting from February, fixed insurance payments, social supplements and the pension coefficient should increase by the value of last year's consumer price increase index.

To implement the indexation project in 2018, it was necessary to change the legislative acts in this legal area: a draft law was developed, which the State Duma adopted for consideration together with the law “On the budget of the Pension Fund”.

At the end of 2017, the President signed Law No. 420-FZ dated December 28, 2017, which described the features of the process of increasing the insurance pension for 2018. And the PF budget for 2018 was adjusted by Federal Law No. 416 dated December 19, 2016 -FZ.

According to the amendments to the law:

• Indexation applies to non-working pensioners;
• Indexing has been moved a month earlier (since January 1, 2018);
• the value of the index for the recalculation of payments must exceed the inflation index and it becomes one;
• a new coefficient for the formation of insurance pension payments has been introduced.

Thus, the indexation value in 2018 is 0.7% higher than inflation by 3.7%. And the new coefficient of pension payments has been increased to 1.037.

Indexation of pensions will be made not only for non-working pensioners, but also for other people in this category.

It should be noted that payments to them will be made a little later, about which the Pension Fund will inform additionally. Therefore, each of the pensioners has the right to expect a significant increase.

Note! Everyone will be able to calculate how much the pension will be increased using the new value of one coefficient (point), which in monetary terms is 81.49 rubles. It is this indicator that will be included in the calculation of pension payments.

How much will pensions increase?

If we proceed from a fixed cash payment and a coefficient of 1.037, then the amount of the insurance pension payment will be 4,982 rubles.

Compared to the previous year, the amount of accrual per one retirement score increased by 3 rubles and reached the value of 81 rubles 49 kopecks. And old-age pensioners will receive an additional payment in the amount of 10 to 14 thousand rubles per year.

The positive aspect of the amendments to the pension legislation is that now the amount of the pension cannot be below the subsistence level. If, according to calculations, its value is less than this indicator, then the state will make an additional payment to the level of the minimum value.

According to specialists and experts in the field of pension services, compared to 2017, pensions have increased significantly. In addition, the indexation of payments has been shifted a month ahead, which has a positive effect on the material well-being of the elderly.

If last year's inflation rate was 3.2%, then pensions are indexed by 4%. This comparison shows a positive trend in increasing pension payments to non-working pensioners.

According to intermediate results, each non-working pensioner on average, the allowance will be 400 rubles to the pension.

The country's government assured all pensioners that it has a plan for a real increase in payments for the next few years ahead. Pensions will soon reach high levels.

Who will not be affected by indexing?

Anyone who receives pension benefits different kind, is interested in the question of whether indexing will personally affect him. It should be noted right away that working pensioners are not eligible for additional payment.

Important! So far, there is only one way out for them - to quit their job or wait for the month of August, when there will be an increase in the pension score by 3 units.

And this means that the maximum increase they can count on will be only 244 rubles. At the same time, each working pensioner will be recalculated individually, depending on the amount of his earnings for the past year.

According to the changes made, from 01.04.2018 social pensions will increase by 4.1%. Thus, the inflation rate will be exceeded by 1%, and social pensions will increase on average to 13 700 rub.

The government program to increase pension payments is designed for several years. However, this does not mean that changes are possible in the future. To keep abreast of all the innovations, you should regularly visit the official website of the pension fund.

Will there be a lump sum payment for pensioners in 2018

Despite the planned indexation, many pensioners are interested in the question of whether a lump sum payment of 5,000 rubles will be made, as was the case last year. After all, it was received by all, without exception, pensioners, including those who work.

However, as the analysis of the amendments made to the pension legislation shows, one should not count on such a step on the part of the state. Indeed, in 2017 this event was associated with problems in the country's economy in 2016.
