• The size of the social pension in the Altai region. Minimum old-age pension. Minimum pension amount

    10.03.2024

    In light of the negative trends in the Russian economy that have lasted for several years, citizens are in no hurry to increase their consumer baskets - it is obvious that the crisis has hit the wallets of Russians with tangible force. It is known that the state will again have gaps in 2018 - and, in connection with this, a number of analysts have expressed their disappointing forecasts regarding raising the standards of social payments. This topic worries Russian pensioners most of all. What will the pension be in 2018 and are there prerequisites for increasing the minimum benefit? Let's consider the main theses.

    How do they promise to increase the minimum pension from January 1, 2018?

    “Minimum pension” is an absolutely conditional term in the legislation of the Russian Federation, and implies the amount that is paid monthly to people whose length of service and age meet pension standards, including those who do not receive other types of pension benefits.

    The amount of the subsistence minimum is calculated from the parameters for the current year, the level of price growth for, as well as other indicators of the economic state of the state. In each region of the Russian Federation, the standard of living wage has different values, and if the minimum pension does not reach its level, the deficiency is subsidized by funds from the regional treasury.

    The issue of the minimum in 2018 should be differentiated by categories of accrual for citizens:

    An insurance pension (by age) presupposes retirement for women after 55 years and for men after 60 years, with at least 7 years (until 2024, this standard will increase to 15 years). 8,703 rubles – this is the minimum that beneficiaries of an insurance pension can count on in 2018. From January 1 of the new year, pensioners in Moscow are promised to be paid twice as much - 17,500 rubles.

    Social pension is benefits paid regularly to those citizens who do not receive monthly insurance payments, but need government support for certain reasons (in case of disability, loss of a breadwinner, old age in absence). In 2018, the government promises to index this type of benefits by 3.7%. And from April of the new year, the size of the social pension is expected to be 8,742 rubles.

    The minimum insurance pension will also be indexed by 3.7%, and this will not be done in February, as a rule, but from January 1. But for working pensioners, their benefits will remain unchanged until August 2018 - from this month, pensions will be recalculated taking into account the increase in the value of their work points.

    The size of the minimum Russian pension in 2018 will be calculated using the formula:

    Fixed amount + insurance premium,

    where the last value is sum of individual points * cost. Instead of 78.58 rubles, the cost of a point in 2017 is planned to be fixed at 81.49 rubles.

    How does the minimum cost of living for a pensioner differ across Russian regions?

    The first wave of widespread increases is planned in January, but not all pensioners will receive the same amount, even if they have the same achievements in terms of length of service. In addition, starting from the new year, local budgets can introduce additional charges to their residents. How will the size of minimum pensions differ in Russian regions?
    As already noted, it is Moscow residents who can claim one of the highest pensions in the country - their size is set at 17,500 thousand.

    The highest level of minimum pension benefit is in the Central District - 9.5-9.6 thousand rubles. recorded in the Voronezh, Kostroma, Smolensk regions, and the lowest - in the Kursk and Bryansk regions, here the minimum pension does not exceed 7.5 thousand rubles.

    The figures will be higher in the Northwestern District - for example, in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions the minimum pension will be more than 12.5 thousand rubles, and in the Nenets Autonomous District - more than 18 thousand rubles. At the same time, in St. Petersburg, the Leningrad and Novgorod regions, there are some of the lowest minimum wages in the region - about 8.8 thousand rubles.

    In the Southern District, pensioners from the Volgograd and Rostov regions can count on the highest “minimum wage”; here the benefit amount is fixed at 9.4 thousand rubles. At the same time, residents of Adygea and Kalmykia receive the smallest amounts in the region - less than 8.7 thousand rubles.

    About 9-9.3 thousand rubles - this is the “minimum wage” for residents of the Volga Federal District in Udmurtia, Tatarstan, and the Kirov region. The Saratov and Orenburg regions are an order of magnitude behind them - here the minimum pension is 7.7 thousand rubles.

    Quite high rates of minimum pensions are recorded in the Ural District. In the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, pensioners live on 12-14 thousand rubles, while in the Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions the pension will be much lower - about 9.3 thousand rubles.

    The highest minimum pension in the Siberian District is 9.7 thousand rubles. recorded in the Republic of Buryatia, Trans-Baikal Territory, Novosibirsk Region. But in Kemerovo, the lowest pension figures barely reach 8.8 thousand rubles.

    The highest levels of pensions are intended for residents of the Far Eastern Federal District. In Yakutia, Kamchatka, Chukotka, pensioners receive benefits in the range of 17-21 thousand rubles. At the same time, the lowest figures are observed in the Amur region and Primorsky Krai - about 9.6 thousand rubles.

    But in the North Caucasus Federal District, pensioners receive benefits - the lowest in the country. In Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, and Stavropol Territory, these payments are in the range of 7.6-8 thousand rubles.

    Content

    For the majority of Russians who have retired, pension payments are the only source of income. Due to the unstable economic situation and due to the constant transformation of pension legislation, many citizens are interested in what size the minimum pension will be in Russia in 2018, whether it is worth waiting for indexation and what pensioners receiving state, social benefits or old-age pensions can expect.

    How is a pension formed in Russia?

    The legislation does not stipulate the concept of a minimum pension. This is a conventional name that has taken root among ordinary people and means nothing more than a living wage. This is the amount paid by the state to elderly people who have retired but are not eligible to receive other types of pension payments. Each region of the Russian Federation has its own subsistence level, and if the minimum pension in 2018 is less than this value, additional money is allocated from the local budget to cover the gap.

    The cost of living is not a constant value. The value is reviewed annually and approved at the highest level. To calculate the BPM, several circumstances are taken into account:

    • official inflation rate;
    • the state and performance of the country's economy;
    • consumer price level.

    The cost of living is formed on the basis of prices that are set by region and country. For this purpose, the concept of a consumer basket was introduced - the monthly minimum expenses of a citizen necessary for life. This includes food, non-food essentials and basic services. The composition of the basket is revised less frequently than the subsistence level budget - every five years.

    Cost of Living data is published quarterly and varies for each demographic group. Depending on the region, it can differ several times, because not only the price level is taken into account, but also the climatic characteristics of the subject where the calculation is made, the specifics of consumption of essential goods due to the traditional way of life. For example, the budgets of the Kursk region and Chukotka differ by almost 2.5 times.

    By old age

    The minimum old-age pension in Russia in 2018 is called insurance. It involves payments provided to citizens, and the latter are subject to certain conditions:

    • age restrictions. 55 for women and 60 for men, although sometimes a person has the right to claim earlier retirement, for example, residents of the Far North.
    • having a certain amount of work experience. Since 2016, this indicator has been set at 7 years with a gradual increase in this value to 15 by 2024.
    • number of points and individual coefficient. In 2018, the maximum possible number of points that a person can earn is set at 8.7, while the IPC should be 13.8.

    The minimum old-age pension in 2018 is set at 8,703 rubles. For Moscow it is expected to set the value at 17,500 rubles.

    Social

    For some categories of citizens, the state pays social pensions - the regular minimum for those people who are not entitled to receive an insurance pension payment. There are three types of social pension:

    • for disability (disabled citizens of groups 1, 2, 3 and disabled children without the requirement to establish a group);
    • in case of loss of a breadwinner (children under 18 years of age or 23 years of age if they are studying but not working, provided that they have lost one of their parents or a single parent);
    • for old age (women 60 years of age and men 65 years of age, if they do not have the appropriate insurance experience; 55-year-old men and 50-year-old women belonging to the small peoples of the North).

    According to official information, the minimum social pension in Russia will be indexed next year.

    State

    In addition to insurance and social benefits, some Russian citizens are entitled to receive state pensions. These include:

    • people who have become disabled due to radiation exposure;
    • residents who were in the contaminated area at the time of the accident;
    • residents who left the exclusion areas.

    As a rule, state pensions are issued to victims of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

    Payment terms

    In connection with the adoption of the new law No. 134, the minimum pension from January 1, 2018 will be paid, taking into account all possible indexations, from the first day of the month following dismissal. Until 2015, pension benefits consisted of the federal base amount, to which insurance and funded parts were added. Today, the funded part is a separate type of security, which is regulated by separate legislative acts.

    The minimum pension in Russia in 2018 will be calculated based on the formula:

    FIXED PAYMENT + INSURANCE PREMIUM.

    To calculate the insurance premium, you need to multiply the number of points (their amount is individual for each, but cannot exceed the legally established value) by the cost of one point. In 2018, the value was set at 81.49 rubles, while throughout 2018 its value was 78.58 rubles.

    For non-working pensioners

    According to data provided on the official website of the government, in 2018, costs for pensions and social security are planned to increase. The budget provides for an increase in insurance pensions, and the indexation procedure will be changed. In addition, it is planned to index social pension benefits. The entire process will fully comply with Russian legislation due to the increase in the cost of living. In addition, it is planned to index the pension benefits of the military while maintaining the reduction coefficient at 72.23%.

    Indexation of insurance pensions

    Traditionally, annual indexation is carried out from February, since on this date the inflation value is known, which is taken into account to calculate the indicator, which is a guideline for increasing payments. The government decided to postpone this moment to an earlier date - the beginning of the year. Thus, the minimum pension in Russia in 2018 will be increased by 3.7% from January 1. This was done in order to ensure a real increase in the amounts paid by the beginning of 2018.

    Initially, it was taken into account that inflation would rise by 4%; however, according to preliminary data, today the value does not exceed 3%. Taking this into account, it was decided to increase the amount by 3.7% (taking into account the faster rise in prices). The average size, according to official data, will increase from 13,657 rubles. in 2017 to 14045 in 2018. The increase will be a small 400 rubles, but for pensioners it is better than nothing.

    Increase in social pensions from April 2018

    8,742 rubles is a payment that is due to everyone who was unable to accumulate the required length of service to receive an insurance pension. This value is used as a basis for assigning allowances to disabled people of groups 1 and 2. In order to support particularly vulnerable sections of the population, the size of the minimum social pension in Russia in 2018 will be increased by 4.1 percent from April (however, the indexation coefficient may be changed). If some people’s allowance is less than the subsistence level in the region of their registration, then they are entitled to an additional payment up to this amount.

    Increase due to increase in length of service for working pensioners from August 2018

    As for working pensioners, indexation is not provided for them for 2018. An increase in allowances for persons who have retired and continue to work has not been carried out for several years now, and judging by the mood of the Government, the state will continue to adhere to this practice. This is due to the fact that the income of working pensioners is already greater; in addition, they can go on vacation and start receiving payments in full.

    In addition to this, employers continue to make contributions to the Pension Fund from their accrued earnings. According to the law, these funds are converted into points, which will subsequently affect the amount paid. The increase from August will be achieved due to an increase in the value of the pension point to 81.49 rubles. A pensioner can also refuse payments for a while, which will then bring an additional bonus. A project to introduce the so-called “13th pension payment”, assigned at the end of the year, as a kind of compensation, is being discussed among deputies.

    What will be the minimum pension in 2018 by region of Russia?

    The first increase is scheduled for January 2018, after which in April the amounts paid to persons receiving social benefits will be indexed. However, this does not mean that everyone will receive the same amount, since for each region of Russia its own BPM is established by local authorities, so even pensioners with the same length of service may receive different amounts of money. In addition, it should be noted that each region has the right to make additional payments to older people, but not all budgets allow this.

    Central

    According to official information, the largest federal district in Russia has the following minimum payments to pensioners. If we do not take into account the capital region and the region, then the maximum indicators for the amounts paid will have:

    • Kostromskaya - 9,629 rubles;
    • Voronezh - 9,567 rubles;

    • Murmansk region – RUB 12,497;
    • Arkhangelsk region – 12,315 rub.

    A distinctive feature of the Northwestern Federal District is that they receive the least in the second largest city in Russia and the region:

    • Novgorodskaya - 9,299 rubles;
    • St. Petersburg - 8,817 rubles;
    • Leningradskaya - 8,672 rub.

    • Orenburg region – 7,761 rub.

    Ural

    In the federal district, which forms about a third of the budget of the Russian Federation, the following maximum values ​​of the minimum pension allowance are noted:

    • Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous Okrug – 14,797 rubles;
    • Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug – 11,830 rubles;
    • Sverdlovsk region – 9,703 rub.

    The lowest payment for pensioners is indicated for the following areas:

    • Tyumen - 9,402 rubles;
    • Chelyabinsk - 9,368 rubles;
    • Kurganskaya - 9,226 rub.

    Siberian

    An interesting situation has developed in the second largest federal district of Russia. Three subjects at once set the minimum allowance limits at the same level:

    • Republic of Buryatia - 9,703 rubles;
    • Trans-Baikal Territory - 9,703 rubles;
    • Novosibirsk region –9,703 rub.

    The lowest value in the Siberian Federal District was recorded in:

    • Omsk region - 9,057 rubles;
    • Kemerovo region - 8,882 rub.

    Far Eastern

    • Jewish Autonomous Region - 9,700 rubles;
    • Amur region - 9,695 rubles;
    • Primorsky Krai – 9,637 rub.

    North Caucasian

    The youngest and smallest federal district also stands out because the maximum minimum pension payment here is one of the lowest in the country. According to official data, seats in the district were distributed among the subjects as follows:

    • Chechen Republic - 8,989 rubles;
    • Kabardino-Balkaria – 8,922 rubles;
    • Republic of Dagestan - 8,707 rubles;
    • Stavropol Territory - 8,293 rubles;
    • Republic of Ingushetia – 8,104 rubles;
    • North Ossetia - 7,606 rubles;
    • Karachay-Cherkessia – 7,491 rub.

    The size of the minimum pension in 2018 in Moscow and the Moscow region

    As already noted, people who have taken a well-deserved vacation and live in the capital and the Moscow region can count on one of the largest minimum pensions in Russia in 2018. According to official information, the numbers look like this:

    • Moscow – 17,500 rub.;
    • Moscow region – 9864 rub.

    It is noteworthy that residents of New Moscow receive pension payments like Muscovites. The insurance is paid if a person has at least 8 years of experience, and the individual coefficient is 11.4. Everyone who does not fit into this figure receives a minimum wage that does not reach the subsistence level, so the city authorities compensate for this difference. Additionally, it is planned to increase a number of monthly and one-time municipal allowances for various categories of Muscovite pensioners (Heroes of Russia, labor, etc.).

    For pensioners living less than 10 years in the capital

    An interesting situation arises with the minimum amounts paid in the capital. Since their value is significantly higher than the national average, many older people are trying by hook or by crook to obtain at least temporary registration in the capital. They continue to live in their home region, and they receive allowances at Moscow rates.

    Pension fund specialists understand this situation, so a differentiation was introduced between native and non-native Muscovites. The latter include those whose Moscow registration has been listed in their passport for at least ten years. Non-indigenous Muscovites who have retired are entitled to a minimum pension, the amount of which does not take into account the monthly supplement paid by the city authorities.

    For Muscovites with registration for more than 10 years at their place of registration

    If, according to registration, a person of retirement age has lived in Moscow for more than one decade, he has the right to all allowances and additional payments that are provided for by law. The social standard from 2018 will be 17,500 rubles. In addition to this, older Muscovites receive some benefits from the authorities, expressed in the form of discounts on travel and payment for a number of utilities. However, it should also be taken into account that the price level in the capital region is higher, which is taken into account when approving the minimum pension allowance.

    Registration of additional payments to pensions up to the subsistence level in 2018

    To summarize, it can be noted that the minimum pension in Russia in 2018, due to various circumstances, may not always reach the subsistence level. For this reason, additional payments are due until this value is reached. It is important to understand that not all elderly citizens have the right to count on such an additional payment, but only those whose pension provision is the only source of income. If a person, for example, works additionally, then additional payment to the minimum subsistence level is not provided.

    Supplements are calculated based not only on the amount of pension benefits, but also on a number of other additional payments:

    • monthly benefits, for example, for disability;
    • social benefits (free travel on public transport, sanatorium treatment, etc.);
    • additional regular payments provided by municipal authorities.

    Targeted assistance to a citizen, insurance payments, and assistance in kind (material provision of food, clothing, medicines) are not taken into account. Another important condition for calculating the surcharge is that the citizen must permanently reside in Russia. If he goes abroad for permanent residence, the payment of additional funds stops.

    Where to contact

    In order for the state to begin making additional payments to a low-income pensioner, he must visit the Pension Fund office or send an application there by mail. The issue of additional payments is regulated by Federal Law 178. Unlike one-time assistance, they are paid monthly until the pensioner’s income level reaches the required level or until the person receives an additional source of income. When applying for a job, he must immediately report this to the Pension Fund branch of his region.

    What documents are required

    It is necessary to prepare a number of documents in order to receive the additional payment due:

    • passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or residence permit for foreigners;
    • pensioner's ID;
    • a document confirming the place of registration;
    • document on pension insurance;
    • documentary evidence that the person is not currently working (for example, a work book);
    • certificates confirming payments received on a regular basis;
    • document on accrued pension funds;
    • statement.

    In accordance with the pension legislation of the Russian Federation in 2019 (as well as in previous years), every person living on the territory of the Russian Federation, upon reaching a certain age, is assigned an old-age pension. This type of support is established for the purpose of financial support for citizens who, due to their age, are limited in their former ability to work or, having reached age parameters, cannot work for other reasons.

    To receive at least the minimum pension provision, in addition to reaching retirement age, the recipient must also meet other minimum requirements established by law:

    • The main condition for assigning a pension payment is the presence of a certain amount of work experience.
    • At the same time, pension provision is provided both for citizens who have earned the required length of service and for those who do not have it.

    Types of old-age pensions and conditions for their assignment

    Depending on the pension recipient’s compliance with the conditions specified by law, he may be assigned one of the following types of old-age pension:

    Insurance pension provision

    The old-age insurance pension is assigned in our country more often than other pension payments. The vast majority of pensioners (about 83%) are its recipients. this type of payment is regulated by Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 N 400-FZ “About insurance pensions”, according to which the right to appoint it is acquired by its recipient if there is:

    • Age 60.5 years in men and 55.5 years among women.
    • duration at least 10 years.
    • (IPK) not less than 16.2.

    The above parameters for the amount of insurance experience and IPC are set for 2019 and, according to the law, increase annually. The experience requirement increases by 1 year until he eventually reaches 15 years, and IPC by 2.4 to the size 30 .

    For persons who worked in difficult climatic conditions, as well as in jobs with harmful, particularly difficult or hazardous conditions for health, access to old-age insurance pension benefits is possible earlier than the generally established retirement age, that is. The conditions for assigning an early pension, as well as the list of professions and persons entitled to it, are established by the same law “About insurance pensions”.

    Is a pension entitled if there is no work experience?

    There are cases when a person, for some reason, did not have the opportunity to work at all or only had temporary official earnings. In a word, by the time he reached retirement age, he was unable to earn enough length of service that would give him the right to an insurance pension. And for this category of citizens, pension support is provided by the state.

    If the citizen’s insurance record and individual industrial complex do not reach the minimum size required to establish an old-age insurance pension, or none at all, this category of recipients is assigned a pension.

    However, to receive this financial support there are conditions that are provided for by the Federal Law “ On state pension provision in the Russian Federation» dated December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ, in accordance with which social old-age pension benefits are assigned disabled persons:

    • from the number small peoples of the North, having reached 55 years(men) and 50 years(women), as well as on the day of pension permanent residents in the territory considered to be inhabited by these peoples.
    • Citizens of the Russian Federation, permanent residents in our country, as well as citizens of other states, or those without citizenship at all, subject to their permanent residence in our country at least 15 years, when both reach the age 65 years old(men) or 60 years(women).

    What is the minimum old-age pension in Russia by region?

    Concept "minimum pension" in itself is very subjective, since in different regions of our country both wages and prices differ significantly from each other, and in some areas, such as the Far North and other areas, regional coefficients are applied to wages. The amount of pension payments depends on many circumstances and may vary in different regions of residence.

    If the recipient meets the minimum conditions provided for by law, the old-age pension in 2019 was established in the following amounts:

    • Social pension benefit - from April 1, 2019 5163.2 rubles(until April 1, 2019 - 4959.85 rubles);
    • Insurance pension - 6107.46 rubles(based on data for 2019, see calculation below).

    Social pension payments are established for their recipients in a fixed form, while old age insurance benefit: IPC multiplied by its cost plus a fixed payment.

    Depending on the region of residence of the pensioner, the minimum amount of the pension payment received may differ due to the different cost of living in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This is due to the appointment of one of the measures of social support for pensioners - a supplement to pensions.

    Minimum size in 2019

    Annual pension payments. The law provides for an increase in pension benefits at the level of actual inflation of the previous year. Now the Government has provided for the indexation of pensions in 2019 above inflation in 2018 - by 7.05%(according to calculations, inflation in 2018 was 4.3%):

    • at the same time, the cost of the pension coefficient will increase to 87.24 rubles;
    • and the fixed payment is 5334.19 rubles.

    Thus, taking into account that from January 1, 2019, the conditions for assigning an insurance pension change (you will already need to have 16.2 pension points), the minimum old-age insurance pension will be:

    16.2 x 87.24 + 5334.19 = 6747.48 rubles.

    As for social pensions, the Government of the Russian Federation (in particular, the forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development) reports that it will be indexed by only 2.0%, then in 2019 the social old-age pension benefit will be 5163.2 rubles.

    What to do if the pension is less than the subsistence minimum?

    Minimum pension amount idle By law, a pensioner should not be below the subsistence level determined by the state for such citizens, while the total income takes into account not only the pension itself, but also additional monthly payments, allowances and compensation.

    If the pension recipient’s monthly income is below the pensioner’s subsistence level (PLS), then his pension is set.

    Depending on the level to which the pensioner’s maintenance does not reach (in Russia or in the region of residence), a social supplement is assigned to him:

    • federal, paid from funds provided in the Pension Fund budget;
    • regional(from the budget of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation).

    Accordingly, for its appointment it is necessary to contact the territorial branch of the pension fund or the territorial body of social protection of the population.

    Living wage for pensioners in 2019

    In 2017, the size of the PMP, which determines the right to receive a federal social supplement, decreased (relative to 2016). The Federal Law on the Budget of the Russian Federation included the minimum subsistence level for a pensioner (in the country as a whole) to determine the social supplement to the pension at the federal level in the amount of 8,540 rubles. This event was aimed at reducing budget costs for the payment of social supplements to pensions.

    However, in 2019, the budget included an increased cost of living for a pensioner - 8,726 rubles.

    Here it should be taken into account that the social supplement is set to the level of the regional PMP, and in many regions it differs in one way or another from the federal value (maybe either up or down). For example, in Moscow in 2019, a PM was established for receiving social benefits for pensions of 11,561 rubles, and in the Khabarovsk Territory - 10,895 rubles.

    Maximum old-age pension in Russia in 2019 (in rubles)

    The maximum amount of an old-age pension benefit is difficult to determine precisely, since it also depends on many components. For example:

    • from the contribution base (in 2017 it was 876,000 rubles, in 2018 - 1,021,000 rubles);
    • from the citizen’s retirement age;
    • from the maximum possible amount per year of work, etc.

    As an incentive for citizens to retire later, the state sets their pension provision by increasing it and depending on how many months later the citizen applied for a pension payment from the date he became entitled to it.

    In accordance with Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 N 400-FZ “About insurance pensions”(Appendix 1) such a coefficient is provided in the calculation from 1 year up to 10 years deferments and maximum its value is equal 2,32 .

    The amount of pension content largely depends on the number of individual pension points earned by a person during the period of his working activity and formed by converting the insurance contributions paid for this period, and their pension payment established at the time of appointment. However, in accordance with Appendix 4 to the above law, their maximum value per calendar year you can dial no more than 10. In 2018, this figure is 8.70 points.
