Retirement benefit on January 1 of the year. Raising pensions for people with disabilities

Forgive us, dear comrades, non-working pensioners, but we will begin this publication with the words of Vladimir Putin. Since it is he who is today the main news maker, or more simply, a provider of news regarding the size of pensions.

Television Putin

In his televised address about pension reform in Russia, he said that “already in 2019, the indexation of old-age pensions will be about 7 percent ... But in general, over the next six years we will be able to annually increase the old-age pension for non-working pensioners by an average of 1,000 rubles. ”

Well, the general meaning is clear ..

Report of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation

The president’s words about indexing by 7 percent and increasing pensions by 1000 rubles per year in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation have put on accurate figures.

Judge for yourself. Take, for example, a non-working pensioner who receives 10,000 rubles a month. For him, an indexation of 7.05% will give an increase of 705 rubles per month. Agree, this is far from 1000.

And for a pensioner who receives 15,000 rubles, indexation of 7.05% will already add 1,057 rubles per month.

Everyone who studied at school, even if it’s bad, can independently figure out what approximately an increase in rubles is expected from January 1, 2019, if his pension is increased by 7.05 percent.

And for those who have forgotten how the percentage of the number is calculated, we give a simple formula:

In order to find out how much your insurance pension will be indexed from January 1, 2019, if you are a non-working pensioner, it is necessary to multiply the current pension by 0.0705.

Example 1 Disabled recipient of a disability insurance pension. The amount of the pension is 9137 rubles. After indexing from January 1, the size of the pension will increase by 644.16 rubles and amount to 9781.16 rubles.

Example 2 A non-working recipient of an old-age insurance pension. The size of the pension is 13817 rubles. After indexing, from January 1, the size of the pension will increase by 974.1 rubles and amount to 14791.1 rubles.

Pension increase table in 2019

If someone is too lazy to divide and multiply on their own, see our plate:

		The increase in pension, RUB

However, as experience suggests, many self-calculating pensions are not very correct. So it is better to trust specialists from the Pension Fund of Russia. And each of the ordinary people-pensioners will see their premium in rubles when the first payments in 2019 come to his pension bank card.

We also note that the size of the fixed payment after indexation will amount to 5334.2 rubles per month, the cost of a pension point is 87.24 rubles.

Note that all of the above applies only to the insurance pension of non-working pensioners.

What will be the pension in 2018? It is not surprising that a fairly large number of people are interested in this issue, because pension reform is overgrown with intricate additions every day, and it is quite difficult for a lay man to understand this difficult issue.

If you believe the statements of officials, it is expected to increase pensions, but quite insignificant, so you should not hope for radical changes.

One of the most acceptable options for raising pensions is their indexation, which, officials say, will take place in 2018 in full. The end of the crisis and the slowdown in inflation allows the government to return to full indexation. The current pension model remains unbalanced, experts emphasize. Next year, authorities can launch a large-scale reform, which will also include raising the retirement age.

Despite a significant budget deficit, the indexation of pensions next year will take place in full, emphasizes Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets. In 2017, the authorities resumed raising pensions in accordance with the inflation index, complying with current legislation.

This year, pensions were indexed twice (in February and April) by a total of 5.9%. In addition, at the beginning of the year, pensioners received a one-time payment of 5 thousand rubles. Last year, officials failed to fully index pensions.

One of the consequences of the economic crisis was the acceleration of inflation to 12-13%. However, increasing pensions to an appropriate level is very problematic. Moreover, a decrease in revenues from energy exports leads to an increase in the budget deficit. As a result, in 2016, pensions were indexed as part of the target rather than the actual inflation rate.

As for 2018, the government claims that indexation of pensions will be maintained at the inflation rate for the previous year. Despite forecasts, the percentage in 2018 will look something like this: in 2018 - 4.5%, and in 2019 - 4.4%.

However, these percentages can differ greatly, since the Central Bank and the Ministry of Finance propose introducing a fixed premium of 4%, so the size of the pensions indicated in the project can vary greatly.

Recent news confirms the increase in pensions in 2018 as part of actual inflation. However, working retirees may be without an increase, officials emphasize. As a result of pensions, about 10 million Russians may remain without an increase.

Controversial issue

The growing budget deficit forced officials to optimize existing expenses. Including the authorities abandoned the idea of \u200b\u200bindexing pensions for working retirees.

According to the new law, pensions for non-working citizens will increase depending on inflation, while at the same time for those who are employed, they will remain at the same level. This law will exist until 2019.

According to the estimates of the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin, raising pensions for working pensioners will cost the state treasury up to 200 billion rubles. The government continues to discuss this issue, but experts doubt a positive decision. Most likely, the authorities will not index pensions of this category of citizens.

The pension fund deficit remains at a high level (in 2017 - about 220 billion rubles). Given demographic factors, this trend will be further aggravated. As a result, officials are faced with a difficult choice - to postpone a painful pension reform or move on to the necessary changes as early as 2018.

Structural distortions

Despite protests from the social bloc, raising the retirement age is a necessary measure. Otherwise, the current model will remain unbalanced, which will lead to a chronic deficit of the pension fund.

According to the law in force since 2017, the retirement age of citizens will gradually increase by half a year to a fixed amount. Starting January 1, 2018, the retirement age will be:

61 years in males;
56 years in females.

The retirement age will continue to increase until it reaches about such numbers:

65 years in males;
63 years for women.

Adjusting the age will make it possible to change the ratio of the number of retirees per worker, which will guarantee the balance of the FIU in the medium term. According to forecasts of representatives of the pension fund, by 2030 the state treasury will be able to save more than 600 billion rubles. These resources can be redirected to investment in the economy, which will significantly accelerate GDP growth.

Which of the models will be introduced in Russia depends on economic indicators, while the final version of the revision of pensions will be announced in 2018. After the election, officials will have more room for maneuver in this matter.

In anticipation of rapid growth

In 2017, economic growth will recover, which will be the key to improving key indicators. The main growth factor remains the dynamics of the oil market, the prices of which will continue to moderate growth.

In 2018, the cost of a barrel will reach the milestone of $ 60, which will increase budget revenues. In addition, higher oil prices will positively affect the ruble, which will restrain inflation. As a result, the indexation of pensions in 2018 will not be a significant problem for the authorities. According to analysts, this year inflation will slow down to 4.0-4.5%, which is significantly lower than last year.

Despite the resumption of positive dynamics in the economy, budget indicators leave much to be desired. The budget deficit exceeds 3%, including due to the high share of social spending. Annual budget transfers to support the FIU reach 1 trillion rubles. Fulfillment of social obligations costs 2.2-2.6% of GDP. Experts have repeatedly emphasized the need for reform, but the authorities intend to wait until the end of the elections in 2018, when it will become much easier to solve socially sensitive issues.

Possible alternatives

Head of the Accounts Chamber Tatyana Golikova considers raising the retirement age not the only alternative. First of all, the government should focus on modernizing the current model of social insurance. In this case, the authorities will be able to accumulate the additional resource necessary to cover the consumables.

Officials are considering various options for changing insurance premiums, which will help give the economy an additional impetus for development. Including the authorities intend to strengthen the fight against salaries in envelopes. Minimizing the shadow component will increase budget revenues needed to finance recurring expenses.

Statements by officials leave no doubt as to whether there will be indexation of pensions in 2018. Moreover, improved economic performance will allow the government to make payments in full. However, the authorities have not yet decided on the indexation of the pensions of working pensioners. For this, it will be necessary to increase budget expenditures by 200 billion rubles.

In this matter, the position of the Central Bank and representatives of the Ministry of Finance are interesting, who are proposing, in fact, not to rely on the pension fund and the state and are going to launch a new reform on this basis. It will consist in the fact that the Russians themselves can save for their retirement. However, the reform is aimed at people whose wages will be 50,000 rubles or more. Persons whose incomes do not constitute such a figure can also accumulate a pension on their own, however, it will be more difficult for them to realize it. Based on this, experts believe that we are talking about insurance premiums, which in turn will form a pension. Similar practices in New Zealand and Australia.

Calculation of pension payments

In 2018, according to the head of the Central Bank, a special pension calculator will be created that can calculate the pension according to the entered parameters. This should greatly simplify the calculation of pensions for Russians.

Since January 1, 2018, the majority of Moscow pensioners have become richer by 3 thousand rubles - this is the amount by which pensions have been increased in accordance with Decree of the Moscow Government of October 31, 2017 N 805-PP. At the same time, there are no new increases for 2019 - the city social standard has not changed. Recall that after the increase, the minimum pension in Moscow in 2018-2019 for non-working pensioners increased to 17,500 rubles. The minimum pension is guaranteed to residents who have developed seniority and receive an old-age or disability insurance pension, as well as those registered in Moscow for more than 10 years.

We will tell in more detail what changes occurred in the pension legislation of the capital in 2019, who is entitled to a minimum pension of 17,500 rubles, who can only rely on an increase in payments to the size of the subsistence minimum in Moscow, who will receive allowances and allowances. Attention: From September 1, 2019, the minimum pension in Moscow will increase by 2,000 rubles, read more.

Pension in 2018 and 2019 - was and has become

What minimum pension in Moscow time awaits the townspeople was discussed by the Moscow government led by Mayor Sergei Sobyanin in the fall of 2017.

In 2017, the minimum pension in the capital was 14,500 rubles, that is, the increase was more than 20%. However, the expected increase in the city social standard in 2019 did not happen - it remained in the amount relevant for the past year.

The Moscow authorities were able to find money to support a poorly protected group of the population thanks to the economic prosperity of the city and the increase in incomes of working citizens. An increased pension for Muscovites is a reflection of the economic growth that the Russian capital is experiencing. The fact that there will be an increase in pension in Moscow in 2018, Sobyanin said at a meeting of the Presidium of the Moscow Government in the fall of 2017. There was also given an economic rationale for the introduction of appropriate measures of urban support for pensioners.

It was introduced by Law No. 22 of October 31, 2018 “On the Establishment of the Living Wage of a Pensioner in the City of Moscow in order to Determine the Regional Social Supplement to the Pension for 2019”.

Social pension - A kind of pension provision, which is entitled to citizens with no work experience for any reason. It is appointed indefinitely, but its payment can be stopped for citizens who decide to engage in activities involving the payment of compulsory pension insurance. The amount of security is set by the Government in a fixed amount, which depends on the subsistence level (PS) and, as a rule, is significantly lower than insurance (labor) payments to pensioners.

In the law of the Russian Federation No. 166 “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation”, article 11 establishes that this type of security is required for the following categories of disabled recipients:

disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3, including children with disabilities;
children with disabilities;
children who have lost one or two parents, under the age of 18 years (or before reaching 23 years of age, subject to full-time education in educational institutions), if the parents did not have work experience (otherwise insurance pension is supposed);
citizens representing small indigenous peoples of the North who are older than 50 (for women) and 55 (for men) years, with permanent residence in the indigenous places of residence approved by the Government of the Russian Federation;
unemployed men after 65 years and women after 60 years (provided there is no insurance experience), including foreign citizens and stateless persons who can confirm permanent residence in Russia for 15 years or more.

decide on migration (even with the preservation of Russian citizenship);
have two official places of registration.

Will there be an indexation of insurance pensions?

The most common type of pension is insurance pensions. It is assigned to people who have insurance coverage and deductions on individual personal accounts. However indexation of insurance pensions (including working pensioners) from April 1, 2018 not planned.

Insurance coverage for Russian citizens who have taken a well-deserved rest is one of the main directions determining the social policy of the state. Maintaining a decent payout level for this huge category is not easy, because the demographic situation in the country has shifted focus in recent decades and made pensioners the largest group. Despite the enormous financial burden, the government annually takes measures to ensure that pension payments allow recipients to ensure a normal standard of living.

2018 will not be an exception. A number of legislative measures and documents for this period are planned for several measures that will provide pension increases for most pensioners in the Russian Federation. Who can count on the increase and what will be the size of the increase is already known for sure.

Such pensions are called labor pensions, and only those people who have sufficient working experience can count on them:

Old-age payments can be received by citizens who have reached certain age indicators. For Russians, these are 55-year-old women and 60-year-old men.
Pension payments to persons with disabilities of groups I-III are received by those who acquired disability not as a result of the crime they committed and had previously been officially employed.
Another category is underage and disabled family members who have lost the breadwinner.

For all these categories, the planned indexation of payments will occur in 2018. The money for this has already been budgeted for the year that has been approved and signed. Usually, the increase took place in February, but this year pensions will be revised everywhere starting from January 1, which will allow receiving reinforced amounts a month earlier.

A specific indicator has been determined that will affect the increase, it will be equal to 3.7%. Experts have calculated that when converted to this coefficient, the average increase will be 420 rubles.

Social retirement benefits

This category includes citizens who, at the time of going on a well-deserved rest, did not accumulate the required minimum length of service in order to fall into the previous category. This also includes some veterans, people with disabilities, individual dependents.

The average amount of such a pension today is 8.7 thousand, although some receive only 5 thousand, while others receive 16 thousand. It all depends on the grounds for receiving monthly payments, which are calculated individually in each case.

In 2018, the pension increase for this social group will be 4.1% of the total. True, the increase will not happen in January 2018, as in the previous case, but in April.

State Pensions

federal officials;
astronauts and pilots;
military personnel;
people affected by technological disasters and officially confirming their status;
citizens who survived the blockade;
participants of the Second World War, etc.

Working pensioners

Working pensioners in Russia in 2017 amounted to 12-14 million people. For this category, a few years ago, the possibility of indexing payments was frozen, and they will not be restored in 2018, according to Minister Topilin.

Instead, a different compensation system for deductions of taxes and insurance contributions from salaries for working pensioners is provided. A conditional unit has been introduced, which allows you to convert insurance premiums into points. One such point during 2018 will be equal to 81.5 rubles.

The increase for working pensioners will take place in the third quarter - in August, that is, they will be able to receive the first reinforced amounts in September. It will consist of points that everyone could earn over the past period. The maximum number of convertible points is limited to three, which means that the maximum increase in pension will be equal to 244 rubles. That is, the additional amount is likely to be almost the same for all working pensioners and will not depend on the level of current salary or pension.

This recalculation will be carried out by the Insurance Fund authorities on their own. To accrue points, the recipient does not need to contact the authorities with statements; all the necessary data are available in a common database and will be processed without a request.

Thus, we can say that throughout 2018, pensioners of all categories will receive an increase in their pension, which will make it possible in most cases to block the 2017 inflation rate. Additives will be able to partially offset the cost of basic goods and services, which will allow recipients to continue to maintain a decent standard of living.
