Who is entitled to a social supplement to a pension - the calculation of federal and regional pension supplements. Recalculation of pensions for women for children Who receives a pension supplement

In 2017, Moscow pensions were indexed by 20%. In addition to the fact that pension payments have now become larger, pensioners have the opportunity to draw up city supplements that raise the amount of pension to the level of the capital's social standard. These measures were taken due to the fact that food, non-production goods and public services are becoming more expensive in Moscow, and therefore pensions are not enough for a decent life. Let us consider in more detail the question of how the Moscow pension supplement is calculated in 2020.

To whom is the Moscow pension supplement paid?

In some constituent entities of the Russian Federation, Russian citizens are provided with special payments intended exclusively for special categories of persons - labor veterans, low-income families, home front workers, and so on. This type of financial assistance is a fixed amount paid monthly or only once.

Under what conditions is the Moscow pension supplement paid in 2020

In 2017, the living wage in Moscow was increased to 14,500 rubles for pensioners who have lived in the capital for at least 10.

Now that the size of the urban subsistence minimum has been significantly increased, even a working pensioner can claim an additional payment to the pension, since the pension, together with wages, sometimes does not reach 14 thousand rubles.

Those recipients of pensions who have lived in Moscow for less than 10 years are entitled to a smaller supplement, since the subsistence minimum for them is 11,428 rubles.

How much is the Moscow pension supplement paid?

The amount of the Moscow supplement to the pension payment directly depends on how long the pensioner has been living in Moscow, while having a permanent registration in the capital or its annexed areas - if the recipient of the pension has been living here for less than 10 years, the supplement is calculated based on the subsistence minimum of 11 428 rubles, and if the time spent in the capital exceeds 10 years, the maximum allowance is paid up to the subsistence minimum (social standard) of 14,500 rubles.

How is the Moscow pension supplement calculated in 2020

The Moscow supplement to pension payments is designed to increase it to the regional subsistence minimum (social standard), and therefore it can be calculated using the formula:

RMN \u003d VPM - VP,

where RMN is the size of the Moscow allowance,

VPM - the value of the subsistence minimum (depending on the time of residence in Moscow),

VP - the amount of the monthly pension.

An example of calculating the Moscow pension supplement

Ivan Fedorovich receives an old-age pension of 8,900 rubles. The pensioner moved to Moscow 15 years ago and registered in the capital. In addition, he was assigned a subsidy of 500 rubles to pay for heating.

Lev Nikolaevich registered in Moscow 5 years ago, at the moment he is a pensioner and receives an early preferential pension in the amount of 9350 rubles, since he has worked in hazardous production all his life.

For Ivan Fedorovich, the Moscow allowance will be calculated on the basis of a living wage of 14,500 rubles, while the full amount of material support for the month will be taken into account, including benefits assigned by the state:

14500 - 8900 - 500 = 5100 rubles - this will be the regional social supplement to the pension.

For Lev Nikolayevich, the capital allowance will be calculated based on the subsistence minimum of 11,428 rubles:

11,428 - 9,350 = 2,078 rubles - a pensioner will receive such a social supplement to a pension.

How is the Moscow pension supplement issued in 2020

The Moscow pension supplement in 2017 is automatically added to the amount of the basic pension, and you do not need to apply to the Pension Fund separately.

It happens that employees of authorized bodies do not rank a pensioner in time for one or another category of pension issuer, and therefore the pensioner may notice that he has the right to a social supplement to monthly payments, but for some reason does not receive them. In such a situation, it is better to collect a certain set of documents and “remind yourself” to state institutions.

Where to apply for a Moscow allowance

In case there is a misunderstanding, you should rightly be credited with a Moscow pension supplement, but you do not receive it, you need to contact the regional office of the Pension Fund of Russia. An employee of the institution will ask you to write an application in free form or according to a sample and submit documents confirming your identity and the right to a surcharge.

When will the application for additional payment to the pension be considered?

Employees of the Pension Fund will study your application and submitted documents for a maximum of 10 days. If any data needs clarification, it will take 30 days to resolve the issue, but this rarely happens.

If a positive decision is made to accrue an additional payment to the applicant's pension, the increased pension payment will be credited to the pensioner's account from the next month (in this case, documents must be submitted before the 20th day of the month).

Common Mistakes

Error: A citizen has the right to receive a Moscow pension supplement. After submitting documents to the FIU of the Russian Federation, an unreasonable decision was made to refuse. He continues to receive a pension without additional payment.

The issue of additional payments to pensions for children has gained great popularity only now, although technically the possibility of such a recalculation has been around for a long time and has arisen since the entry into force of the new law "About insurance pensions" No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 - that is, from January 1, 2015. However, earlier the possibility of recalculating an already assigned pension to receive a supplement for children caused great controversy. Now, several years later, the legitimacy of applying to the FIU on this issue has already become recognized and is not in doubt.

According to the new pension legislation, now when assigning a pension, it is provided better accounting for the period of child care, which is expressed in:

It is noteworthy that more favorable rules can be applied to similar periods, that took place before 01/01/2015. Therefore, those pensioners who have reached it a long time ago can also apply for an additional payment to the pension - i.e. women who, among other things, already have adult children born before 1990 (during the Soviet era).

The choice of the best option for accounting for non-insurance periods for childcare (and, consequently, the possibility of recalculation) consists in choosing the procedure for calculating the amount of the insurance pension:

  • valid until 2015 (according to the norms of Law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001);
  • currently in force, starting from January 1, 2015 (according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013).

Upon detailed consideration and comparison of all options for calculating a pension in practice, it often turns out that the new procedure for accounting for pension rights is more beneficial for a pensioner and can provide a significant monthly increase (see). Therefore, it is worth using this opportunity and contacting the Pension Fund with the appropriate one. Although the supplement to the pension for children not guaranteed for all pensioners(each case is individual), you can say for sure for whom it may be most likely.

What is the supplement to the pension for children and who is entitled to it?

The meaning of the allowance for children consists in offsetting the so-called “non-insurance periods” (clause 1, article 12 of law No. 400-FZ) in the length of service and accruing additional pension points, the amount of which (the so-called individual pension coefficient) directly determines the amount of the pension. In this case, this will be the period of departure of one of the parents for each child until they reach the age of one and a half years(the maximum total can only be taken into account 6 year care period for all children, so if we talk strictly about the period of care for each up to 1.5 years, then only four children can be counted in points).

The essence of the proposed recalculation for children is as follows:

  • for women who were in an employment relationship at the time of birth and caring for a child, this is the possibility of offsetting this period in one of two ways: either as a period of work, or, according to the new rules, as a non-insurance period, if such a replacement would be beneficial to her;
  • for women who at that time had a break in work or combined the time of the birth of a child with study, this is an opportunity to increase the size of their pension by including a new unaccounted for non-insurance period in the length of service and adding the number of points that directly affect the amount of the pension paid (taking into account the new one).

It should immediately be noted that not all pension recipients benefit apply for a refund! There are such categories of pensioners who will not receive additional payments during its implementation, and possibly even at all - the amount received will go into the red.

It is important that in the event that a smaller pension is received upon recalculation than it was before, the initial amount of payments will not be reduced, and in response to the application for recalculation, the PFR specialists will make a decision to refuse.

Given all of the above, first of all, it is worth paying attention to those mothers who recalculation is likely to be beneficial:

  • women with at least two children;
  • who received low wages and, accordingly, have a small coefficient applied to the calculation of the payment;
  • who had a short work experience.

Which of the pensioners will not receive a surcharge upon recalculation?

The amount of additional payment for recalculation, as well as the very possibility of its implementation, are strictly individual. However, it is safe to say who should not count on such an increase. These categories of pensioners include the following persons:

  • retired after January 1, 2015(for them, all possible options have already been calculated, taking into account non-insurance periods for children, and the most profitable method was automatically selected);
  • recipients, paid in a fixed amount(established, including for living in the area of ​​the catastrophe at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant);
  • retired previously established retirement age if they have a privileged job that gives such a right (since as a result of replacing the insurance period with points for non-insurance periods, they may lose the right to due to the exclusion of this time from the special experience - this especially applies to periods of child care before 10/06/1992);
  • having only one child;
  • pension recipients.

Other citizens may benefit from applying for recalculation.

In each individual case, the calculation of the pension, as well as the calculation of the amount of the additional payment, will be purely individual, and there is no need to talk about any fixed amount of the increase. For some, this will be an additional payment of 300 rubles or even more, while for others, the supplement will be equal to one ruble or zero.

How many points are added to the pension for children?

According to paragraph 12 of Art. 15 FZ No. 400 "About insurance pension" The number of points awarded for periods of child care depends on the following parameters:

  • order of birth of the child;
  • amount of care time.

Data on the value of points taken into account when recalculating the copay for children is presented in the following table.

Table - Recalculation of pensions for women for children

It is worth considering some nuances when:

  • the care period is less than a year - then the calculation of the coefficient is established based on its actual duration (clause 14, article 15 No. 400-FZ);
  • there are several such periods coinciding in time - then the sum of the coefficients for each child is determined (clause 13, article 15 of law No. 400-FZ).

Consider the example of recalculating a pension for a woman with 2 adult children, taking into account non-insurance periods for the care of each of them.

Example - Pension recalculation for pensioners with 2 or more children

Anna Ivanovna has been a pensioner since April 2014. In order to compare different options for calculating a pension (respectively, according to the old rules or according to the new ones), we determine the number of points earned by a woman for each of them. Thus, we will determine the profitability of a possible recalculation and the chance of receiving an increase for children.

Necessary initial data for recalculation:

The total work experience of a woman is 18 years, of which 15 years were worked in the period from 1978 to 1997 and 3 years - from 2005 to 2008, during which the employer transferred 135 thousand rubles to her personal account for financing of the insurance part of the pension (the funded part was not formed). The length of service until January 1, 1991 is 11 years. Anna Ivanovna has two children born before 1990 (in 1979 and 1985). On leave to care for a child, a woman was 1.5 years with each. The calculated wage coefficient is 0.8.

    The first option - as it was determined when assigning a pension. When retiring before January 1, 2015, non-insurance periods counted as work experience according to the norms of the law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001, because at that moment the pensioner was in an employment relationship.

    • The estimated pension until 2002 (Article 30 of the Federal Law No. 173) amounted to 256.72 rubles. is ((0.55 × 0.8 × 1671 – 450) × 18 /20).
    • The estimated amount of valorization (Article 30.1 of the Federal Law No. 173) is 53.91 rubles. is (256.72 × (0.1 + 0.01 × 11 )).
    • The increase from insurance premiums received after 2001 is 592.11 rubles. - this is 135,000 rubles. / 228 months
    • The total labor pension (excluding the base part and indexation) assigned to the pensioner was 2336.24 rubles. is ((256.72 + 53.91) × 5.6148 + 592.11).

      In terms of pension coefficients, this amount will be 36.45 points- this is (2336.24 rubles / 64.10 rubles for 1 point).

  1. The second option is how it will be calculated when recalculating the pension for children. When recalculating according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, it is necessary to convert the amount received into pension points (including for non-insurance periods of caring for 2 children), dividing it by the cost of one such point in 2015 (64, 10 rubles), and subtract 3 years of experience from the previous calculations (1.5 years for each child).

It is obvious that for Anna Ivanovna from the example considered, the recalculation of the pension for two adult children will be profitable(39.45 points more than 36.45). This is due to the fact that she had a small salary and low experience, while she has two children.

Thus, the woman in the considered example will receive a permanent increase in her pension in the amount of 39.45 - 36.45 = 3 points. The cost of 1 pension coefficient from January 1, 2019, taking into account the indexations carried out, is 87.24 rubles.

That., the pension supplement for her will be equal to 3 × 87.24 = 261.72 rubles.

How to apply for additional payment to the pension for children?

The recalculation of the pension payment, which implies an additional payment, taking into account non-insurance periods, is carried out by application only with the necessary documents.

In order to apply for an increase in the pension for children, pensioners must take few steps:

At the same time, there is several ways such an appeal:

  • personally (or through a legal representative) make an appointment with the client service of the district department of the Pension Fund;
  • contact the MFC at the place of residence;
  • send documents by mail;
  • issue an electronic appeal through a single portal of public services.

Despite all the appeals of the FIU not to create a stir around the topic of additional payments for adult children, the information provided about a possible increase in pensions causes concern for a large number of citizens, and their desire to quickly get an appointment with FIU specialists can be understood in view of the difficult economic situation in the country. However, in some PFR departments, an entry on the issue of recalculation has already been scheduled many months ahead.

Since the moment of the recalculation will depend on the date of application, women in large settlements should pay attention to alternative ways of applying, bypassing a personal appointment with the FIU.

Application for recalculation of pension for children (sample)

An application for the recalculation of a pension for children is a standard form for revising the amount of a payment, including for other reasons. The application form for an additional payment can be filled out in advance by printing it out from the website of public services or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (or it can be downloaded). You can also issue it when you personally apply to the FIU or the MFC under the guidance of specialists from these institutions (in this case, the correct filling is guaranteed).

This document is drawn up in Russian and signed personally by a citizen or his legal representative (if there is a notarized power of attorney). According to the content of the application, one can distinguish its main points:

  • first, the name of the territorial body of the PFR is indicated, where the citizen applies;
  • then personal data follows (full name, citizenship, address of registration and actual place of residence);
  • in paragraph 3, the type of pension subject to recalculation is reported, and in the last column of the same paragraph, the basis for the additional payment is indicated "including non-insurance periods";
  • it is also necessary to list in writing the documents attached to the application.

The final signature of the applicant at the end of the document confirms the accuracy of the information provided by him.

What documents are needed to apply for an increase

AT package of documents required to apply for an increase in payment includes:

  • a document proving the identity of the pensioner or his legal representative;
  • pension insurance certificate ();
  • an application (a 4-page form is printed by an employee of the PFR in person or filled out by the applicant independently in electronic form on the website of public services);
  • birth certificates of children or a birth certificate from the registry office;
  • documents confirming that the child is 1.5 years old, to choose from:
    • certificate of education;
    • child's passport.

If the child's birth certificate contains a stamp indicating that he received a passport when he reaches the age of 14, then there is no need to provide any additional documents to confirm that he has been cared for!

It is worth remembering that in the case of applying for recalculation through the post office, copies of the submitted documents must be notarized, and in case of applying for an increase via the Internet, the documents necessary for the additional payment (except for the application made directly on the site) should be brought to the Pension Fund within five working days.

Deadlines for making a decision and when there will be an increase

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 23 of Law No. 400-FZ, the recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension is carried out from the first following the month in which the application was submitted. The revision of the pension payment by including non-contributory periods for adult children is no exception in this sense.

Do not forget that the possibility of submitting such an application for additional payment is not limited by any period. However, if you apply for the increase later, the pensioner will only be able to start receiving a higher pension from the next month - no supplements for the previous time missed since the entry into force of the new law is not allowed.

But since the additional payment to the pension is not guaranteed to absolutely everyone, the option of refusing to recalculate is also possible. In this case, an appropriate decision of the PFR commission will be made, of which the applicant will be notified by phone or e-mail address indicated in the application, and in the absence of such, by mail notification.

Is there a supplement to the pension for children born before 1990? I retired in 2005, I have three daughters born in 1974, born in 1979. and born in 1985, with each of which she was on parental leave for a year. During the indicated periods, I was in an employment relationship and this time was counted to me when assigning a pension payment as a length of service.

According to the norms of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, which entered into force in January 2015, it became possible to calculate the time spent caring for children (one and a half years with no more than four) according to a more favorable option, including for periods until 2015.

The question of increasing the pension for children, including those who have long been adults, is not worth it precisely because of the date of their birth before or after 1990. Such a recalculation is due to all women who have children and care for them at different times, including the Soviet period.

To compare several calculation options, you will need to contact the PFR department, where your payment case is located with documents confirming the departure, and write an application for recalculation.

If you have a short work experience and a low salary coefficient applied to the calculation of the payment, then if you have three children, such a recalculation is likely to be beneficial. In the event that such a revision of the pension is unprofitable, its initial size will not be reduced, the commission will decide on the refusal.

Today, the state supports low-income pensioners by paying them a special -. Its size is determined by the difference between the personal income of an elderly non-working person and the subsistence level of a pensioner established in the region.

Many pensioners are mistaken, believing that the concept of "material security" includes only a pension that they receive in their hands in the form of money. This is not true. When calculating the total amount of material security for a pensioner, the following are taken into account:

Additional material support;

In addition, cash compensation expenses are taken into account:

To pay for the use of the telephone;

For payment of residential premises and utilities;

By paying for travel on all types of passenger transport: urban, suburban, intercity.

The size of social supplements is reviewed when the subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the Russian Federation as a whole changes.

The revision of the size of the federal social supplement in case of a change in the subsistence minimum is made from the first day of the month following the month in which the specified change is established.

And yet, for disabled children and children under the age of 18, after the appointment of a pension on the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner, the legislation provides for the establishment of a social supplement to a pension automatically without application.

The agency recalls that the social supplement is set without applications from pensioners: the Pension Fund and social security themselves determine the level of material security of non-working pensioners based on the information they have. But when applying for a job, the recipient himself must report this to the Pension Fund at the place of residence.

Many pensioners are entitled to additional payments to their pension, but do not know about it. Today we will consider on what grounds your pension can increase and by how much.

Age

Citizens who have crossed the 80-year mark receive an increased pension. For them, the legislation establishes a double fixed payment to the insurance pension. For all old-age pension recipients it is 5,686 rubles, and for 80-year-olds it doubles to 11,372 rubles. That is, the “increase” to the pension after 80 years is 5,686 rubles. In this case, you do not need to apply to the Pension Fund to recalculate the pension. Pension after 80 years is recalculated automatically.

It is important that disabled people of the 1st group who have reached the age of 80 are not assigned a double fixed payment to the insurance pension, since they already receive it due to disability. According to the law, the corresponding supplement to the pension is established on one of the grounds: either reaching the age of 80, or having 1 disability group.

If a small pension

Such an additional payment is established for pensioners whose total amount of material support does not exceed the subsistence minimum for a pensioner established in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Thus, non-working pensioners, whose total amount of material support in 2020 does not reach a certain number of rubles, will be entitled to a federal social supplement to a pension up to the specified amount.

For citizens who receive or received FSD in 2010-2020, its size will be revised upwards without application.

Pensioners who in 2020 for the first time acquired the right to establish a FSD (due to dismissal or if the total income is below the subsistence level) can exercise this right only by submitting an appropriate application to the territorial body of the PFR at the place of residence.

The social supplement to the pension is established from the 1st day of the month following the month of applying for it with the corresponding application. For recipients of a survivor's pension under the age of 18 (except for recipients of such pensions from "power" departments), a social supplement is established without application from the day from which the corresponding pension is assigned, but not earlier than from the day the right to the specified social supplement arises .

For all pensioners, regardless of the department for receiving a pension, the specified additional payment is established by the territorial bodies of the PFR at the place of residence.

Since the federal social supplement to the pension is established only for non-working pensioners, when applying for a job (carrying out other activities), a pensioner receiving a federal social supplement must immediately inform the territorial body of the Pension Fund at the place of residence.

Disability

Monthly cash payments

If a pensioner has been diagnosed with a disability, then he is entitled to receive monthly payments in addition to his pension. The amount of these payments directly depends on the disability group, so for group 1 - 3782 rubles, for group 2 - 2701 rubles, for group 3 - 2162 rubles.

Monthly cash payments (UDV) are provided to certain categories of citizens from among:

Veterans (5403 rubles);

Disabled people (from 2162 to 3782 rubles);

Former minor prisoners of fascism (3,782 rubles);

Persons exposed to radiation due to radiation accidents and nuclear tests (2162 rubles);

If a citizen is simultaneously entitled to an UA under several federal laws, he is granted one UA on one of the grounds of the citizen's choice. That is, a citizen can be both a disabled person and a veteran at the same time. And in this case, he himself has the right to choose according to which of the circumstances he will receive the EDV.

Citizens who are entitled to receive a monthly cash payment are required to immediately report to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation about the circumstances affecting the change in the amount of the UDV, as well as entailing the termination of the monthly cash payment.

For the appointment of the EDV, you must contact the territorial body of the PFR at the place of registration (including temporary). If a citizen of the Russian Federation does not have a place of residence confirmed by registration, it is necessary to submit an application to the territorial authority at the place of actual residence. In this case, the actual residence is confirmed by an application, and not by a passport or temporary registration.

If a citizen is already receiving a pension, he needs to submit an application to the territorial body of the PFR at the location of the payment case, that is, to the place where he applied for a pension.

A citizen who lives in a stationary social service institution must contact the FIU at the location of this institution.

Care

In accordance with the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of 04.06.2007 No. 343 “On the implementation of monthly compensation payments to non-working able-bodied persons caring for a disabled person of group I (with the exception of disabled people from childhood of group I), as well as for the elderly who are in need at the conclusion of a medical institution in permanent outside care or who have reached the age of 80”, a compensation payment is assigned to persons living in the Russian Federation caring for a disabled person of group I (with the exception of disabled people from childhood of group I), as well as for an elderly person who, according to the conclusion of a medical institution, needs constant outside care or over the age of 80.
However, if there are other disabled members in the family (daughter-high school student, son-student or unemployed), it is possible that this compensation payment for care in the amount of 1200 rubles was established by him.
The specified payment is made to the pension assigned to the disabled citizen and is carried out during the entire period of care.

The period of care counts towards the caregiver's seniority of 1.8 pension points for each year of care. This allows the caregiver to form his or her pension entitlements for the insurance pension.

The amount of the payment is set at 1200 rubles.

In other words, if you are a disabled person of group 1 or a pensioner in need of constant care, or you are 80 years old or older, then you can formally register an able-bodied, unemployed person (either a teenager over 14 or a student) to take care of yourself and receive an additional payment to a pension of 1200 rubles.

In Moscow, a pension supplement is assigned according to certain rules. To do this, you need to write an appropriate application.

Moscow pensions are among the highest in the Russian Federation, since the standard of living in Moscow differs significantly from the standard of living in the regions of the country.

Moscow is considered the richest city in the country. Today, the state, as a social shield, has decided to increase the subsistence minimum, and at the same time the level of the capital allowance.

Main information

Now every pensioner who has been registered in the capital for more than 10 years has the right to apply for a pension supplement.

This also applies to those pensioners who have lived there on a permanent basis for less than 10 years, but their subsistence level is below the established one.

The state provides additional material assistance to the citizens of the capital, if they can document the right to receive it.

This will ensure the guaranteed receipt of additional payments to the established amount of pension payments. The basis of the pension supplement for residents of Moscow is the "Luzhkov's" surcharge.

To qualify for this benefit, the following conditions must be met:

  • official residence in Moscow for more than 10 years;
  • permanent residence in the city or in the annexed territory;
  • lack of official work.

In addition to this allowance, pensioners can count on the following allowances:

  • supplement to the minimum subsistence level;
  • disability benefits;
  • Surcharges for the loss of a breadwinner;
  • indexation of pensions;
  • compensatory allowances - provided for working pensioners with a salary of less than 20,000 rubles.

Initial concepts

A pension is a regular cash income paid to people who have reached retirement age, are disabled or have lost their breadwinner.

The opportunity to receive a pension supplement appears after a person retires. The amount of the capital allowance is calculated in this way - the city social standard minus the amount that is transferred to the pensioner every month.

The amount of the supplement to the pension, first of all, depends on the size of the financial well-being of a citizen of retirement age, which includes:

  • insurance assistance provided by the state as a pension;
  • additional financial assistance (for example, social benefits).

The total amount of financial support for a pensioner includes state assistance:

  • home telephone connection;
  • payment for housing, utility bills;
  • travel tickets for the capital's public transport, including the reimbursement of a possible part of the costs of paying for these services, expressed in monetary terms.

Who is supposed to

Starting from 2020, not every citizen who has reached retirement age can count on a supplement, but only those who receive a social standard in Moscow.

In other words, non-working pensioners whose monthly income does not exceed the subsistence level receive an additional allowance. One of the most famous is the "Luzhkov's" allowance.

According to the current legislation, only those citizens who have lived in the capital for at least 10 years can count on the city allowance.
