In general, by the beginning of 2020, the Russian Pension Fund is reassuring in that it plans to ensure a significant increase in old-age pensions. It is assumed that the average amount of payments will increase by 1.6 thousand rubles. Due to this, the average regular cash income of persons who have reached retirement age, will be about 15.4 thousand rubles.

In accordance with the current Federal Law "On insurance accruals" under No. 400-FZ, the increase in old-age pensions for state pension provision will be carried out according to a special schedule in two stages. At each stage, indexation will be made only for certain categories of persons receiving cash benefits.

How many times and when will the pension increase be in 2020

Russian pensioners next year - 2020 will become a little easier to live, their pensions will be indexed. Indeed, according to published data, they will be indexed according to inflation, the amount will be 3.7 percent, this applies only to the amount of insurance pensions of pensioners who do not work. Already in the first month of 2020, their size will increase.

Further, from April 1, 2020, social pensions will be indexed (that is, for people with disabilities, people without seniority, for the loss of a breadwinner). The value of indexation of social programs is not specified anywhere, but given that in 2020 its indexation will be 2.6%, we assume that in 2020 this increase will be somewhere in the range of 2-4% .

Pension 2020-2020: latest news on indexation for working and non-working pensioners

In the last three years, an average increase in pensions has been carried out by 400-500 rubles. So, in 2020, the increase amounted to 399 rubles, in 2020 - 524 rubles, in 2020 - 481 rubles. And now it is assumed that an increase in the retirement age will increase the amount of pensions for non-working pensioners by almost 1,000 rubles a year! So they say in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

State pensions, including social pensions, traditionally increase from April 1. As we remember, since April 1, 2020, social pensions have been indexed by 1.5 percent, since April 2020 - by 2.9%. As a result of indexing the average size social pension increased by 255 rubles and after the increase amounted to 9,062 rubles. The year 2020 is likely to be no exception. But how much will our government fork out this time? And this is a really good question.

Retirement from January 1, 2020

Living wage for a pensioner from 2020 planned to be installed at 8 703 rubles. With the projected size of pension benefits based on the results of indexation, part of the payments will not reach this bar. First of all, this will affect social benefits.

The important question remains minimum pension from January 1, 2020. According to the law, the amount of pension provision for a non-working pensioner cannot be lower than the subsistence level. Otherwise, an allowance is assigned, the task of which is to bring the amount of payment to the level of PM.

No increase in pensions from June 1, 2020

In May of this year, the Russian government raised the minimum wage. Now it is 11,163 rubles, and all pensioners expected that the level of pensions would also increase this year. However, these two payments are practically unrelated and the size of the minimum wage does not affect the size pension payment. When calculating the latter, the following indicators are taken into account:

A social pension is a special type of pension, which is characterized by the absence of a pensioner for any reason of seniority. Such a pension is assigned in a fixed amount approved by law. And, as a rule, the size of social pensions is significantly lower than estimated labor (insurance) pensions.

By what percentage will the pension be raised on April 1, 2020

Indexation will take place in a manner atypical for Russians - in January, and immediately covering the most large group recipients - non-working pensioners. According to the already existing rule, this increase will be dated in February in order to have time to calculate the inflation rate. This year, we decided not to wait for the results of statistics, because indexation is planned at a higher level. As was announced by the head of the Ministry of Finance Maxim Topilin, in order to ensure a more significant increase in pensions, starting from January, they will rise by 3.7%. It should be noted that last year the level of inflation literally hit the entire bureaucracy - from the very beginning of the year a specific level was provided, it amounted to about 4%. But he did not even exceed the 3% barrier. In this case, the increase in pensions by 3.7% will certainly be higher than inflation. Thus, an honest increase in pensions for Russian pensioners is ensured.

This time the social category of pensioners will not go unnoticed. In Russia, disabled people, veterans, certain types of dependents, and also those citizens who have not been able to accumulate enough work experience rely on it. To date, this amount is - 8, 7 thousand rubles. Note that the increase will take place only in April, but it will also take into account inflation and will amount to 4.1%. Important detail- The amount of the pension directly depends on the basis on which it is given. In our country there are disabled people who receive 15-16 thousand rubles, at the same time there are many old people who, without sufficient experience, have 5-6 thousand.

From April 1, 2018, only the social pension will be increased, there will be no indexation of insurance pensions.

• Social pension concerns mainly disabled citizens who do not receive the usual old-age insurance pension. Social pensions are paid to approximately 4 million people. The average premium will be 255 rubles. Thus, from April 1, 2018, the average social pension will be 8,742 rubles.
• Insurance the same part of the old-age pension, which is received by citizens who have worked for more than 15 years, to increase in April 2018 will not. This applies to both working and non-working pensioners.
• Concerning funded part of the pension that those born after 1967 have, then it is “frozen” until 2020. In the best case, the “freeze” will generally be 7 years. How much money is it in practice - read.

When and by how much will pensions for working pensioners be raised in 2018?

not working pensioners were indexed at the beginning of the year. The increase amounted to 3.7% or an average 530 rubles. The average pension is now 14,329 rubles. Working pensioners were supposed to have their pensions raised in August 2018, but there will be no indexation. Instead, a recalculation will be carried out. They promise to add 3 points. At the cost of one pension point to 81.5 rubles, an increase in pensions for working pensioner in 2018 will be 244.5 rubles .

In 2018, another increase in pensions will take place, President V.V. Putin gave the corresponding instruction during the next meeting of the commission for the regulation of social and labor relations. The authorities are planning an indexation of 3.7%, which is ahead of the expected inflation rate. However, today there are three types of payments on the territory of the Russian Federation: for working and non-working pensioners, as well as a social pension. Will they all be revised and to what extent?

The increase, according to forecasts, will be 3.7%, which is significantly higher than the expected inflation rate in 2017 (3.2%). The Ministry of Finance is confident that they will be able to fulfill Vladimir Putin's order and carry out synchronous indexation as early as January 1, 2018. As a result, officials expect to improve the welfare of pensioners. According to forecasts, the average increase in payments will reach 400 rubles. and from 01.01.2018 the so-called "old-age pension" will be fixed at the amount of 14,045 rubles. (today the amount is 13,657 thousand rubles).

Previously, the authorities had planned a 4% increase, but a significant slowdown in inflation rates made it possible to reduce the scale of indexation. In 2017, the total increase was almost one and a half times higher - by 5.4% in February and 0.4% in April. However, many were left without the expected increase, as the government refused to index payments for working pensioners.

The next review is scheduled for April 2018, and it will coincide with the increase in survivors' pensions, military pensions and other social benefits. In general, the Ministry of Labor claims that on this moment a strategy has already been developed to gradually increase the size of pensions and by 2030 they will amount to several living wages.

For working pensioners

Earlier, the government considered the possibility of resuming the indexation of payments for pensioners who continue to work. However, the Ministry of Finance rejected this initiative. The economic crisis was reflected in the decline in budget revenues, and as a result, the government was forced to limit existing spending by imposing a moratorium on increasing payments to working pensioners. Thus, about 14 million citizens were left without an annual increase.

The head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov, emphasizes that this category of citizens has the main source of income - wages, from which employers monthly transfer insurance premiums. Most analysts consider this approach not entirely fair, because even taking into account indexation, citizens' incomes remain at a low level, which forces them to look for additional earnings. Perhaps that is why, according to the Ministry of Labor, in August 2018 a slight increase in the pensions of working pensioners will still occur. However, you should not delude yourself. The increase will depend on the amount of taxes paid by the employer in the current year and maximum size it will be equal to 3 points.

Attention! In 2017, 1 point is equal to 78.58 rubles, and in 2018 - 81.49 rubles. Accordingly, the maximum increase will be 244.50 rubles.

Social pensions

In 2018, there will be a simultaneous increase in pensions, including for former military personnel. The President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin came up with a corresponding initiative. The head of state notes the improvement in budget indicators, which will allow the authorities to index for more than 2.6 million citizens.

The revision of insurance payments depends on the rise in prices over the past year and the size of the IPC (individual pension coefficient), and social payments - on the size of the PMP ().

Indexation in 2018 is scheduled for April 1, representatives of the Ministry of Labor emphasize, and it will amount to + 4.1% of this year's amounts. In 2017 it is:

The approximate calendar for the revision of pensions in 2018 will look like this:

Despite regular revisions, average pensions in Russia remain low. At the same time, the PFR budget remains in deficit, which does not allow officials to use more significant allowances.

Contrary to the increase

The latest news about the increase in pensions in 2018, supported by the government of the Russian Federation and Vladimir Putin, will not be able to change the negative dynamics. According to the forecasts of the Ministry of Economic Development, real payments will be reduced, which will negatively affect the well-being of citizens.

Analysts believe that without changing the basic parameters of accrual, the authorities will not be able to balance the existing model of pension provision. First of all, it is necessary to move to a phased increase in the retirement age, which will make it possible to halve the PFR budget deficit. If the authorities do not take this step, then by 2030 about a third of citizens (32%) will be able to claim a pension, which will create an additional burden on the PFR budget. As a result, the government will be forced to increase transfers from the budget, which now reach 4% of GDP.

A gradual increase in the age limit will reduce the PFR budget deficit to 2.2% of GDP, while this measure will have a short-term effect. The government will be able to launch the reform after the elections are over, experts predict, but a comprehensive approach will be required to fully resolve the problem. For a sustainable increase in payments, it is necessary to increase deductions, which cannot be implemented without a significant increase in wages.

Waiting for salary increase

As part of the May decrees of Vladimir Putin, in 2018, state employees expect another increase in salaries. In addition, officials plan to extend the initiative to categories that were not covered by the decree. Indexation of wages is planned at the level of 4%, representatives of the Ministry of Labor emphasize.

At the same time, officials plan to significantly increase the minimum wage, which will reach 9,489 rubles next year. As a result, the minimum wage will increase by 21.7%, officials emphasize. The authorities intend to gradually increase the minimum wage until this indicator is equal to the subsistence level.

Next year, doctors' salaries should be twice the regional average. In addition, the monetary allowance of the military should correspond to salaries in the leading sectors of the economy.

The budget has the necessary resources to increase salaries, the government emphasizes. However, experts are not so optimistic. The increase in budget revenues is associated with an improvement in the external environment. The growth of oil prices leads to an increase in export earnings, but the market for "black gold" may present an unpleasant surprise. As a result, the implementation of government plans to increase wages and social benefits will be in jeopardy.

Video: Putin on raising pensions in 2018

On January 1, 2018, a phased indexation of pensions began. The changes affected labor pensions non-working pensioners and social and insurance pensions. This year, pensions were indexed by 3.7% not from February 1, as usual, but already from January 1, since last year's inflation rate, which is usually guided by, turned out to be a record low of only 2.5%, and funds were already included in the budget, calculated for a higher rate.

According to Minister of Social Protection Topilin, such early indexation will ensure the growth of real pensions this year. That is, this year pensions are indexed to a value that is higher than the inflation rate, and not equal to it, as in previous years.

An increase in pensions in 2018. Latest news and changes

Since January 2018, the state began to pay the new kind pensions for “foundling children” whose parents are unknown, which made it possible to equalize their rights to payments with children abandoned by their parents.

Since January 1, pensions have been indexed by 3.7% for non-working pensioners and by 4% for the military.

Effective from the beginning of the year new law on the indexation of pensions for laid-off pensioners. Now the PFR, after 3 months, during which the recalculation lasts, will pay the indexed pension not from 4 months, but from the first month after dismissal.

On February 1, social payments were indexed by 2.5% and additional payments to civil aviation flight crews and coal industry workers increased. The additional payment is an independent benefit, calculated according to a special formula that takes into account the length of service, average monthly salary, contributions to the Pension Fund, and the average salary in the country. The amount of payments will change every 3 months: May 1, August 1, November 1.

From April 1, it is planned to index social pensions for old age, disability and loss of a breadwinner by 2.9%.

Initially, the budget included funds designed for indexation of 4.1%, but the growth rate of the subsistence minimum for pensioners turned out to be much lower.

Since 2018, funds have also been allocated from the federal budget for additional payments to pensioners in order to bring the amount of payments due to them to the subsistence level.

Since 2016, a draft law on paying pensioners an additional 13 pensions has been actively discussed, but most members of the State Duma do not support this idea and propose instead to increase existing pensions.

Pension increase from January 1, 2018

Since January 1, there has been an indexation of pensions for non-working pensioners. Labor (insurance) pension consists of 2 parts: fixed and insurance.

Fixed - this is the amount that the state undertakes to pay in any case. Insurance consists of points accumulated during work. The point has a specific value.

As a result of indexation by 3.7%, the cost of one pension point increased from 78.58 rubles to 81.49 rubles.

The insurance pension is divided into several subspecies:

• old age;
• by disability;
• on the loss of a breadwinner.

The amount of the fixed part of the payment as a result of indexation was:

• 4982 rubles - old-age pension and for disabled people of the 2nd group;
• 9965 rubles - pension for disabled people of the 1st group;
• 2491 - pension for the loss of the breadwinner and for the disabled of the 3rd group.

Increasing social benefits for pensions from February 1

On February 1, social payments were traditionally indexed. They are paid to the following categories of citizens:

• disabled people of 1, 2, 3 groups;
• war veterans;
• participants in the Second World War;
• heroes of Russia;
• residents of besieged Leningrad;
• former prisoners of concentration camps;
• heroes of the USSR and the Russian Federation;
• liquidators of the Chernobyl accident;
• family members of fallen soldiers.

Social payments consist of monthly cash payments, burial allowance, and a certain set of social services. Social services are understood as: payment for travel, sanatorium treatment, provision of free medicines or their payment. Social services can be received in kind or in monetary terms. The size of the social payment on February 1 was indexed by 2.5%, respectively, the payments are:

• 5701 rubles - burial allowance;
• 1075 rubles is the monetary equivalent of a set of social services.

The size monthly payments for each individual category of citizens has its own meaning.

Will there be 2 indexation on April 1

On April 1, planned indexation of social pensions, not labor. Social pensions do not depend on the level of last year's inflation, but are calculated based on the current price level and the subsistence minimum. Social pension is provided to those who do not have a work experience and cannot receive labor pension. Such a pension, like the insurance one, is divided into several subspecies:

• old age;
• by disability;
• on the loss of a breadwinner.

Indexation of pensions will be made by 2.9%, since this is exactly what the actual growth rate of the subsistence minimum for pensioners over the past year turned out to be. Thus, the following pension values ​​are expected depending on the category of citizens:

• 13,410 rubles - a pension for disabled children;
• 13,556 rubles - a pension for disabled children;
• 12,688 rubles - disability pension for conscripts;
• 10,746 rubles - survivor's pension to the families of conscripts.

According to the law, a social pension cannot be lower than the subsistence level in the region, so if after the calculations the value turns out to be less, then additional payments are assigned.

Indexation of pensions for working pensioners

Back in 2016, the increase in insurance payments for those pensioners who continue to work was suspended. In 2018, this rule is still in effect and their pensions were not indexed in January. According to the Ministry of Finance, working pensioners are in unequal conditions with non-working ones due to the fact that their financial situation can be significantly improved at the expense of wages.

However, on August 1, 2018, there will be another annual unannounced recalculation, for which you do not need to contact Pension Fund. The employer independently transfers the employee's data to the FIU and the pension is increased by the number of points earned in the past year. The only limitation is that the increase can be no more than 3 points per year.

Indexation of pension after dismissal

On January 1, 2018, a new law came into force that changes the procedure for indexing pensions after dismissal. In the previous 2 years after the dismissal, 3 months passed, for which the reporting was first received by the FIU, then it was considered there, and only then the pension was recalculated, taking into account all the indexations that had passed during this time. The increased pension was paid starting from the 4th month after the dismissal, and the previous months were lost. Now, purely technically, the recalculation procedure will also take 3 months, but pensioners fired after January 1, 2018 will also be able to receive an additional payment for the months during which the PFR recalculates.

The pensioner himself does not need to apply to the FIU, all reports are submitted by the employer.

How many points are needed to calculate a labor pension in 2018

In order to start receiving an insurance (labor) pension in 2018, you need to have at least 9 years of service and 13.8 pension points. Every year these numbers increase, and by 2025 the government wants to smoothly approach the following values: 15 years of work experience and 30 pension points.

If there is not enough seniority or pension points, a social pension can be assigned, for women from 60 years old, for men from 65 years old.

There are also premium coefficients for calculating the insurance pension. If a citizen refused to receive payments for a period of 1 to 10 years, then his pension may increase significantly. For example, if payments are refused for a period of 10 years, the size of the fixed part of the payment will increase by 2.1 times, and the size of the insurance by 2.3.

Increasing the pension for the disabled

From April 1, social pensions for the disabled will also increase by 2.9% and will be respectively:

Increase in military pensions from February 1

Every year, according to the law, military pensions and salaries are indexed on February 1. For several years, the increase in payments was frozen. In 2018, changes were made to pensions: firstly, they were indexed by 4%, and secondly, this did not happen on February 1, but on January 1, along with an increase in insurance pensions.

In addition, an annual increase in the reduction factor is foreseen, according to which it can also be calculated pension provision. Usually it increases by 2% and the state plans to bring it up to 100%, while now it is 73.23%. This year, the reduction factor remained unchanged.

Surcharge for military pensioners 2500 rubles in 2018

Since the beginning of 2018, rumors have been actively circulating that the military will be assigned an additional payment of 2,500 rubles a month, but the information was only partially confirmed. Firstly, the surcharges will affect only a third of the elderly military personnel, and secondly, the amount will depend on the rank.

Increase in pensions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The indexation of pensions will also affect employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. The coefficient by which the pension will increase in 2018 is only 4%, but this figure is not yet final.

Since the fall of 2016, the State Duma has been considering a bill on pension 13 for pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but so far no decision has been made on this issue. According to forecasts, most likely, such a bill will be rejected, since the state has already approved the budget for 2018-2020 without taking into account such payments.

How much will a disabled child's pension be?

The social pension for a disabled child in 2018 is 12,082 rubles. Such pensions are received not only by disabled children, but also by adult citizens who have the status of "childhood disabled". Unlike children, they have 3 disability groups. The amount of benefits for each group:

• 1 group - 12082 rubles
• 2 group - 10068 rubles
• Group 3 - 4279 rubles.

How much will the survivor's pension be?

In the event that a child has lost one or two parents, he is entitled to a survivor's pension.

Its size is currently: 5240 rubles if one parent died and 10481 rubles if both. From April 1, 2018, survivors' pensions will be indexed by 2.9%.

Families of fallen soldiers can receive a separate type of survivor's pension.

After the last indexation in 2017, the amount of the social pension is 5034 rubles. However, it can be increased:

• by 40% - the military man died from a disease obtained in the course of work;
• by 50% - the military man died from injuries during work;
• 150% - the military man died of illness while serving;
• 200% - died from a military injury.

An increase in pension of 5000 rubles in 2018

In 2016, due to the unstable economic situation, the government could not index pensions in full, so all pensioners were given a lump sum payment of 5,000 rubles.

In 2017 and 2018, the pension was indexed to values ​​higher than last year's inflation, so there is no need for such a payment. The budget for 2018 did not include funds for such a payment, so it will not be.

Raising the retirement age in 2018

AT last years Increasingly, the issue of raising the retirement age of the able-bodied population is being discussed. This is explained by the fact that, according to surveys, more than half of people who have retired continue to work, which means that in fact they do not yet need pensions so badly.

In most neighboring countries, the retirement age has already increased, but in Russia such a decision has not yet been made. Analysts expect that this topic will be touched upon again after the next presidential elections.

Federal social surcharge

Federal social payment- This is a type of financial assistance to non-working pensioners whose pensions are below the subsistence level in the region. By law, such an additional payment must be regular and made until the pensioner finds a job, or the amount of his total income becomes equal to the subsistence minimum. The total income is understood as all types of pensions, additional payments, compensations and benefits received by him.

Retirees who:

• live on the territory of the Russian Federation;
• does not work;
• receive pensions below the regional subsistence level.

The amount of the social supplement varies depending on the region and the subsistence minimum in it. That is, it is exactly the amount that the pensioner does not reach the subsistence level.

On December 15, 2017, Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree on the allocation of 7 billion rubles for additional payments to pensioners. At the same time, the funds will be distributed among 13 regions in which the pensions of non-working pensioners are below the subsistence level. The list of regions includes:

• Sakhalin;
• Kamchatka;
• Chukotka;
• Komi;
• Yakutia;
• Primorsky Krai;
• Khabarovsk region;
• Arkhangelsk;
• Magadan Region;
• Murmansk region;
• Nenets Autonomous Okrug;
• Jewish Autonomous Region;
• Moscow region.

An example of a federal social supplement. The federal cost of living (PM) for a pensioner in 2018 is 8,726 rubles. The regional subsistence minimum, for example, in Vladimir is less, 8452 rubles. The pensioner was assigned financial support in the amount of 7,500 rubles. Since the regional PM is lower than the federal one, a federal social supplement is assigned. 8726-7500 = 952 rubles.

An example of a regional social supplement. The federal cost of living for a pensioner in 2018 is 8,726 rubles. Regional. for example, in Murmansk it is 12,523 rubles. Payments to the pensioner amount to 10,500 rubles. The value is greater than the federal one, but less than the regional one, so there will be the following surcharge: 12523-10500=2023 rubles.

Pension supplement for over 80s

Pensioners who have reached the age of 80 in 2018 are entitled to an increase in the fixed part of their insurance pension by 2 times, that is, by 100%. The size of the fixed payment is now 4982 rubles, respectively, the amount increased by 2 times will be equal to 10334 rubles.

For retirees who live in far north additionally increases the payout depending on the coefficient. For those who have worked in the Far North for 15 or 20 years, the payment is additionally increased by 30 or 50% of the already doubled value of the fixed part of the pension.

Such an increase will affect all pensioners of this age, with the exception of disabled people of the 1st group, whose pension is initially 2 times higher.

Pensioners at such an advanced age are additionally entitled to a compensation payment for the services of a person who would take care of them, because often older people cannot serve themselves and they need the help of an outsider. The amount of compensation is 1200 rubles.

Additionally, the regions provide their own benefits and measures of social support.

After the pensioner turns 80, the pension will be automatically increased starting from the month following the month in which the birthday was. A pensioner does not need to go anywhere for this, the PFR will do everything himself.

The Pension Fund independently calculates the pension after the pensioner reaches the age of 80 years.

A new type of pension for children whose both parents are unknown

On January 1, 2018, a new type of payment came into force for the so-called "foundling children", that is, children whose parents are unknown. Such a measure was taken in order to equalize abandoned children with other orphans who can receive pensions. At the moment, the amount of the pension is 10,068 rubles and it is paid monthly. From April 1, 2018, it will be indexed by 2.9% and will amount to 10,359 rubles.

The state tries to annually index all possible types of pensions for certain categories of citizens, but the budget does not always have funds for this. In some cases, you can get by with federal or regional surcharges, in others, indexing is simply frozen for several years.

In any case, the government is constantly introducing new types of additional payments and compensations that allow pensioners to live at a more or less acceptable level.
