Will the pension increase this year? Latest pension indexation news

The main source of material support for pensioners is pension payment. It can be calculated based on age, disability, and loss of a breadwinner. The most common reason is old age.

Pensioners are looking forward to the indexation of payments with great hope. Does the Government currently plan to index subsidies for pensioners? This article will tell you about it.

Will there be an increase in pensions for old-age pensioners in 2017?

Indexing by general rule carried out in two stages: in the first and second half of the year. Indexation of old-age pensions in 2017 in Russia will be carried out in a slightly unusual way. From January of the new year, an increase of 4% is planned, and as a second stage of indexation, an alternative was a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles. All pensioners can count on this payment: employed and unemployed. Only pensioners living abroad will not receive it. It should also be noted that indexation is not provided for workers on well-deserved rest.

How much will pensions be increased for old-age pensioners in 2017?

Despite inflation, the indicators of which are always taken into account when increasing pension accruals, the amount of payments tends to increase.
The increase today is 4%. The total payment consists of three indicators:

Insurance part;
Cumulative share;
Individual coefficient.

The percentage increase applies specifically to the base portion. The funded system can only be established for pensioners born after 1967. The individual coefficient is different for everyone, since it is calculated taking into account the length of service.

In 2017 the number working years must be at least 8, and the coefficient must be at least 11.4 points. The issue of calculating pension benefits is set out in detail in Law No. 400 of 2013.

Pension increase in 2017 for working old-age pensioners

Acquiring the right to a pension subsidy does not prohibit a citizen from working, while he has an excellent opportunity to receive wages and pension benefit V full size. But indexation is not carried out in relation to such citizens. They can only receive a lump sum payment provided for as part of the increase for 2017, but not an increase as part of indexation. In case of leaving the employer, the pensioner must inform the Pension Fund about this so that the terms of pension accrual are reviewed and indexation is carried out.

The amount of old-age insurance pension since 2017

The maximum old-age pension in Russia in 2017 depends on living wage, defined in each region. The figure fluctuates around 13 thousand rubles. In Moscow it is much more - 14,500 rubles, which is explained by the high cost of living in the capital.

The minimum old-age pension in 2017 implies a complete lack of work experience for the pensioner. Even in such a case, the state pays social benefit in the amount of 4959 rubles, which is also subject to indexation.

Social old-age pension in 2017 - size and latest changes

In Russia you can only receive one pension. If a person has several reasons, he is forced to choose a subsidy based on one of them, taking into account preferences and benefits. Each size is individual.
Former military personnel receiving payments in their departments currently have the right to indexation; their monetary accruals will also be affected by the increase.

Taking into account recent legislative changes, the value social payments will increase by 1.5%. It follows from this that the average amount of these charges will be equal to 8,774 rubles.

How to apply for an old-age pension in Russia?

For registration, an application is submitted to the Pension Fund. Most often, this issue is dealt with by the employer at the last place of employment, but it is possible that the future pensioner may submit documents personally. The PF is authorized to request missing documents independently.

Documents for applying for an old-age pension

To apply for an old-age pension, you must prepare the following package of documentation:

Statement;
Passport;
SNILS;
Evidence of labor activity.

If the employer is responsible for submitting documents, he shall attach evidence of such authority.
If there are preferential conditions, documents about such periods should also be submitted.

How to calculate old age pension?

The calculation is made using the following formula:
PN = FC * B + IS * C * B, where PN is the pension accrual, FC is the fixed part, B is bonus points, IS is the total sum of the coefficients, C is the cost of the point.
The calculation takes into account the increase after indexation.

Thus, in order to improve the standard of living for citizens on well-deserved rest, indexation is carried out. The program and procedure for increasing subsidies are reviewed regularly.

Russians can expect another pension increase in 2017. Last news came from the Russian Government, which published a corresponding decree signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.

On Tuesday, March 21, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a document according to which, from April 1, 2017, social pensions will be indexed in the amount of 1.015.

To approve the indexation coefficient of social pensions in the amount of 1.015 from April 1, 2017, says the resolution published on the official portal of legal information.

According to Rosstat, the cost of living for a pensioner increased by 1.5% in 2016. And the social pension, as you know, is indexed based on these data and does not depend on the level of inflation.

Indexation of pensions in 2017

Next year, pensions will be indexed according to the usual scheme, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said during an interview with journalists from leading Russian television channels.

“Next year it was decided to return to the usual indexation of pensions. That is, in the first quarter of next year, the pension will be indexed by 5.8% - according to inflation for the current year,” the prime minister noted.

According to the official, “huge amounts of money” are planned for indexation of pensions in next year’s budget. “In total, this is 7 trillion rubles,” Medvedev assured.

Let us remind you that this year the indexation of pensions was replaced by a one-time payment of 5 thousand rubles. “As a result of the payment there will be an increase actual size pensions. This five thousand payment, in fact, means the second part of indexation. And for some pensioners, these 5 thousand are more than they would receive with indexation,” Medvedev noted.

Indexation of pensions from February 1, 2017

Indexation of pensions in February 2017 will be carried out in full for 2016 inflation.

Budget draft Pension Fund Russia for 2017 and for the planning period of 2018 and 2019, adopted by the State Duma on December 9, provides for a forecast inflation rate of 5.8%. Size fixed payment after indexation will be 4,823.35 rubles per month, the cost pension point– 78.58 rubles (in 2016 – 74.27 rubles). The final indexation amount will be known in January, when Rosstat publishes the official inflation rate. The individual pension coefficient for all pensioners will be indexed exactly by this index.

Indexation of survivor's pensions

The Cabinet of Ministers decided to index survivor pensions from April 1, 2017 in full, as required by law. From April 1, 2017, survivor pensions will be increased, and from February 1, 2017, social payments and the cost of preferential services will be indexed.

How much will pensions increase for families who have lost their breadwinner?

The indexation of pensions in the event of the loss of a breadwinner will be 5.4 percent, this figure was announced in the Cabinet of Ministers. The government promised to index pensions twice in 2017; from February 1, social payments will be increased for all categories of pensioners, and from April 1, survivor pensions will be increased. Pensions will be increased according to actual inflation; there will be no one-time payments like in 2016. The increase in pensions will continue as before.

Insurance pensions

Insurance pensions from February 1, 2017 will be indexed to the official inflation rate of 2016. The consumer price index, according to official data from Rosstat, for the past 2016 amounted to 5.4%. Accordingly, from February 1, 2017, insurance pensions will be indexed by 5.4%. In addition, in accordance with the statement of the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin following a meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with members of the government, from April 1, 2017, pensions will be indexed by 0.4%. As a result, the overall indexation of insurance pensions in 2017 will be 5.8%.

The average annual old-age insurance pension in 2017, as a result of indexation, will be approximately 13,657 rubles.

Unfortunately, we have to admit that pensions of working pensioners in 2017 will not be indexed in the same way as in the previous year. Moreover, pensions of working pensioners will not be indexed until at least 2019. Currently, the number of working pensioners in Russia is estimated at 9.6 million people.

In addition to insurance pensions, from February 1, the monthly cash payment (MCB), which is paid monthly to all federal beneficiaries (all disabled people, combat veterans, Chernobyl victims - almost 16 million people), will be indexed. The EDV, as well as insurance pensions, will be indexed by 5.8%.

State pensions, including social pensions

State pensions, including social pensions, will be indexed from April 1, 2017, taking into account the growth index of the pensioner’s cost of living for 2016. These pensions will be indexed for both working and non-working pensioners. The draft budget of the Pension Fund for 2017 provides for an increase in this type of pension by 2.6%

Let us remind you that pension legislation guarantees annual indexation of insurance pensions from February 1, taking into account the inflation of the previous year.

This is how it was until 2015. However, in 2016, against the backdrop of an extremely unfavorable economic situation, pensions were indexed by 4%, with the caveat of possible additional indexation based on the results of budget execution in the first half of the year.

Insurance pensions and social payments will be indexed to the inflation rate

Moscow. January 11. INTERFAX.RU - From February 1, insurance pensions and social payments will be indexed to the level of inflation, said the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin.

“From February 1, 2017, insurance pensions will be indexed in accordance with the inflation rate - by 5.4%,” Topilin told reporters following a meeting of the president with members of the government on Wednesday.

Also, from February 1, all social payments will be indexed to the inflation rate - child benefits, payments to war veterans, and disabled people. This indexation will also be 5.4%.

In January 2017, pensioners will receive a one-time payment of 5 thousand rubles. It applies to absolutely all pensioners living in Russia: both civilian and military. The pension fund will make payments based on the documents contained in the pension file, so there is no need to contact the Pension Fund or submit an application. If a pensioner receives two pensions (for example, a military pensioner), one of which is paid through the Pension Fund, a lump sum payment will be made by the Pension Fund.

From February 1, 2017 insurance pension non-working pensioners, as well as the fixed payment to it will be increased by the inflation rate for 2016. The forecast inflation rate was 5.8%. These funds are taken into account in the Pension Fund budget. The size of the fixed payment after indexation will be 4,823.35 rubles per month, the average amount of the old-age insurance pension is 12,289.73 rubles. In addition, from February 1, 2017, the size of the monthly cash payment (MCB) received by federal beneficiaries will be indexed by 5.8%.

The value of the pension point will also increase in 2017. It will be equal to 78.58 rubles (in 2016 - 74.27 rubles).

From April 1, there will be an increase in state pensions, including social pensions, for both working and non-working pensioners by 2.6%. As a result, in 2017 the average social pension will be 8,040 rubles. The average social pension for disabled children and group I disabled children since childhood will be 12,213 rubles.

As before, in 2017 there will be no pensioners in Russia with a monthly income below the pensioner’s subsistence level. All non-working pensioners will receive a social supplement to their pension up to the subsistence level in their region of residence. In the Saratov region for 2017 it is set at 7,700 rubles.

From January 1, 2020, old-age insurance pensions for many Russians will increase not by the previous year’s inflation rate, but by a fixed amount.

Previously, pensioners knew that their payments were indexed depending on rising prices in stores.

In 2010, the pension increase was 6.3%, in 2011 - 8.8%, in 2012 - 10.65%... But then the “fat” times ended. In 2016, insurance pensions were increased by only 4 percent, in 2017 - by 5.8%, and in 2018 - by 3.7%.

The year 2019 unexpectedly became a turning point. Old-age insurance pensions increased by 7.05 percent in 2019, which is almost twice the level of last year's inflation. In monetary terms, the pension increased by an average of 1,000 rubles.

Such generosity was associated with the beginning of an increase in Russia retirement age. Russian President Vladimir Putin then said in his televised address that “in the next 6 years, we will be able to annually increase old-age pensions for non-working pensioners by an average of 1 thousand rubles.”

What actually happened?

What indexation is planned for 2021-2022?

This is stated in the Main characteristics of the budget of the Russian Pension Fund (PFR) for 2020-2022.

The document also says that in 2021 the cost of a pension point will be 98 rubles 86 kopecks - an increase of 6.3 percent, in 2022 - 104 rubles 69 kopecks, that is, pensions will be indexed by 5.9 percent.

The Russian Pension Fund will return to indexing pensions to the level of inflation for the previous year only in 2025. By this time, Russians' pensions should increase by about 6,000 rubles. It is expected that their average size will be 20,306 rubles.

Pension supplement in 2020 for working pensioners

All of the above applies only to NON-WORKING pensioners. But what can their working comrades expect next year? To be honest, we can only be glad that at least they were not prohibited from receiving a pension and a salary at the same time. But there were rumors that in Russia they would abolish pensions for working pensioners altogether!

But Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova in the “Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” program on the Rossiya 1 TV channel assured that “working pensioners continued to receive pensions and wages, and will continue to receive both pensions and wages.”

What about indexing? Nothing. More precisely, There will be no increase in the old-age insurance pension for working pensioners from January 2020.

Only traditional recalculation awaits them.

How much will the social pension increase in 2020?

In addition to the old-age insurance pension, our country also has the so-called “social pension”. It is received by men and women who have reached 65 and 60 years of age, respectively, as well as disabled people, that is, the “disabled population.”

If you receive a social pension, then expect an increase from April 1, 2020. They are expected to be indexed by 7.0%. In 2021 the increase should be 2.6%, in 2022 - 3.1%.

Recalculation of pensions in August 2020

Recalculation of pensions for working pensioners is usually carried out from August 1. Working pensioners were denied an increase in their insurance pension, but there will still be a recalculation in August.

Pensioners who worked in 2019 will have their insurance pensions increased in August 2020 (non-declaration recalculation) based on the pension points accrued for 2019.

However, most likely, like last year, not all the salaries of working pensioners will be taken into account. In past years, the increase in August in monetary terms was no more than 3 pension points, that is, approximately 200-250 rubles. In 2020, the maximum increase will also most likely be equal to the monetary equivalent of 3 pension points.

Minimum level pension provision in Russia must always be no lower than the subsistence level of a pensioner in the region where he lives. If the amount of the pension together with other due non-working pensioner payments will be below this subsistence level, then a social supplement will be established for him.

How much will pensions increase in 2020 - conclusions

Let's summarize. Today, judging by the latest news, the authorities are planning the next level of pension growth next year.

3. From August 1, 2020, pensioners who worked in 2019 will receive a pension recalculation of no more than 250 rubles.

4. For working pensioners, there will be no indexation of the insurance pension in 2020.

Changes from January 1, 2017

There are a number of important changes that have occurred since the beginning of 2017:

Increasing the minimum quantity and quantities required for appointment.

1st of February- by the amount of inflation last year;
April 1- depending on the growth rate of the cost of living over the past year.

Let us recall that in 2016 the operation of paragraph. 4 Article 25 of the Law “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation”, part 21 of article 15 and part 6 of article 16 of the law “About insurance pensions”, in connection with which insurance and state pensions were indexed by only 4% with significantly higher inflation in 2015 - 12.9%.

Unlike the previous year 2016, starting from the new year 2017, members of the Government have repeatedly promised to restore the legal order of indexation and carry it out in full, as required by law.

“We have decided that in 2017 pensions will be indexed in full.”

Prime Minister D.A. Medvedev

Thus, the draft budget already includes the necessary funds to increase pension provision, which indicates the serious intentions of the state in this direction.

Pension increase in 2017 for old-age pensioners

Labor (after pension reform insurance) pensions are increased by indexation (SIPC) and (FV) - components of the insurance pension after the pension reform in 2015. After the increase on February 1, 2016, these parameters were established in the following values:

the cost of a pension point is 74.27 rubles;
The fixed payment amount is 4558.93 rubles.

The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Economic Development predicted an inflation rate of 5.8%, in which case the indexation coefficient would be 1.058. However, published data from the Federal State Statistics Service indicates a consumer price index for 2016 of 5.4%. In this regard, Maxim Topilin (Minister of Labor and Social Protection) stated that the indexation coefficient of insurance pensions and social payments in February 2017 will be 1.054 (with SIPC = 78.28 rubles, FV = 4805.11 rubles). However, the Federal Law on the Budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation notes that on April 1, 2017, the cost of a pension point will be set at 78 rubles 58 kopecks, and therefore must pass second indexation of insurance pensions, which in total will be 5.8%, resulting in On April 1, the insurance pension was additionally increased by 0.38%.

Table of indexation of insurance pensions by year

Year	Previous year inflation rate	Indexation percentage	Indexation coefficient
2011	8,8%	8,8%	1,088
2012	6,1%	10,65%	1,1065
2013	6,6%	10,12%	1,1012
2014	6,5%	8,31%	1,0831
2015	11,4%	11,4%	1,114
2016	12,9%	4%	1,04
2017	5,4%	5,8%	1,058

SIPC 2017 = 78.28 × 1.058 = 78.58 rubles;
FV 2017 = 4805.11 × 1 = 4805.11 rubles.

On April 1, only the value of the pension point increased, the amount of the fixed payment remained without changes.

Indexation of pensions for working pensioners

As one of the anti-crisis measures, a decision was made to increase pensions for working citizens in connection with the annual increase in their number. According to Rosstat for 2016, the share of working citizens was 36% of the total number of pensioners.

It is believed that the material security of pensioners who continue to work is higher than that of non-workers, since in addition to the pension they have additional financial income in the form of wages.

Thus, the law of December 29, 2015 No. 385-FZ came into force, which from 2016 provides pensions to working recipients until they leave work. After dismissal, they will be returned to the usual indexation procedure, taking into account all increases that took place during the work.

Working pensioners from January 1, 2017 this restriction will not be lifted and their pension will be increased in February will not.
Moreover, as Maxim Topilin (Minister of Labor and Social Protection) stated, in the draft law on the federal budget not provided return indexing all the way until 2019, since otherwise this could lead to significant additional expenses, which the State is on this moment can't afford it.

The adopted restrictions do not apply to pensions (including social ones), regardless of whether the pensioner works or not.

Indexation of social pensions on April 1

Social pensions are not calculated according to a formula, but are set at a fixed amount, unlike insurance ones, and depend on the category of the recipient. They should depend on changes in the level of the pensioner’s cost of living. Over the past 8 years, one can observe fluctuations in the level of indexation of pension provision, both upward and downward.

Year	Indexation level
2010	12,51%
2011	10,27%
2012	14,1%
2013	1,81%
2014	17,1%
2015	10,3%
2016	4%
2017	1,5%

The head of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, Anton Drozdov, previously stated that indexation of social pensions in 2017 is envisaged at 2.6% - this is precisely the level predicted by the Ministry of Economic Development. However, on March 16, Dmitry Medvedev signed, according to which social pensions will be increased by only 1.5%, which represents an increase in PMP in 2016 relative to 2015. In accordance with this, it is possible to calculate the indexed amount of pension provision for each category of recipients.

Recipient categories	Until April 1, 2017, rub.	After April 1, 2017, rub.
citizens aged 60 and 65 years (women and men); persons from among small peoples North, ages 50 and 55 years (women and men); disabled people of group 2 (except for disabled people since childhood); children left without one parent, under 18 years of age, and for full-time students - 23 years of age	4959,85	5034,25
disabled people of group 1; disabled people of the 2nd group since childhood; children under 18 years of age or in full-time education - up to 23 years of age, left without both parents, and children of a deceased single mother	11903,51	12082,06
