Who will raise the pension from January 1. Minimum pension in Russia

107837

Who will be affected by the increase in pensions from April 1 and throughout 2018. The editors of the information portal "Altaiskaya Pravda" were asked by readers to talk about the indexation of pensions this year. Residents of the region are interested in when to expect an increase, how much the pension will increase in rubles, and how much pensioners in the region receive on average now. So let's answer in order.

Indexation of pensions in 2018

Starting April 1, state pensions, including social ones, will be increased. It is assumed that indexation will be carried out for pensioners, regardless of whether they work or not. The increase will be 2.9%.

As Altaiskaya Pravda was told at the PFR Department in the region, from January 1, 2018, insurance pensions were indexed by 3.7%. The price of a pension point increased from 78.58 to 81.49 rubles. The average insurance pension in the region as of January 2018 was 12,605 rubles.

“According to the law, social and other pensions, except for insurance ones, should be indexed once a year by as much as the living wage of a pensioner in the country increased over the previous year. This percentage is calculated by Rosstat, and then the corresponding amount of indexation is approved by a government decree,” experts explain.

In 2017, the living wage for a pensioner increased by an average of 2.9% to 8,135 rubles. “So far, indexation is written only in the draft government decree, but there is no doubt that it will be signed and the increase will take place in due time,” the PFR department for the region emphasized.

How much will increase pensions for working pensioners from August 1

On August 1, 2018, pensions will traditionally be recalculated for working pensioners. Unlike traditional indexation, the increase in the pension of working pensioners is purely individual.

“Recipients of insurance old-age and disability pensions, for which their employers paid insurance premiums in 2017, are entitled to recalculation. The adjustment is non-declarative in nature, it is not required to apply for it anywhere, ”specialists explain.

We emphasize that the size of the increase for each pensioner depends on the amount of insurance premiums paid by the employer over the past year. The higher the salary, the greater the amount of paid insurance premiums and the higher the amount of the increase. But the pension is recalculated taking into account the individual pension coefficient determined on the basis of the amount of insurance premiums, but not more than 3 points.

New rules for the payment of pensions, taking into account indexation

Since January 1, 2018, the rules for paying pensions have changed, taking into account indexation for those pensioners who stop working. Recall that indexation of pensions for old age, disability or loss of a breadwinner has not been carried out since 2016. For them, there is an August recalculation of pensions.

In 2018, the indexation of pensions of working pensioners after the termination of employment will be carried out from the 1st day of the month following the month of dismissal. But the pensioner still does not immediately receive a payment in the appropriate amount. The pensioner will receive a full pension only after the same few months after the termination of work, as in 2017. However, these months will be compensated to him, which will be expressed in the form of payment of the difference between the previous and increased amount of security for the previous months (from the 1st day of the month after the dismissal).

For example, a pensioner was fired in December 2017. Information about the absence of work will be received by the FIU in February 2018, and the additional payment, taking into account indexations and adjustments, will be made in March from the 1st, but calculated for the period from January 1. If a pensioner stops working, he does not need to report it to Pension Fund. The fact of termination of work or other activities will be determined automatically.

Getting your old age pension in 2018

The right to an old-age insurance pension on a general basis arises if the following conditions are simultaneously met:

• Achievement retirement age
• The presence of a minimum insurance experience
• Having a minimum amount of pension points

To be eligible for an old-age insurance pension in 2018, you need at least 9 years of work experience and 13.8 pension points. From January 1, the cost began to be 81 rubles. 49 kopecks, and was 78 rubles. 58 kop. The generally established retirement age in our country is 60 for men and 55 for women.

We also clarify that for the right to a pension, the insurance period is taken into account, which is determined on the date of its appointment, and the amount of the pension is determined taking into account the total seniority, worked out before 01/01/2002. After 01/01/2002, when determining the amount of the pension, insurance premiums are taken into account. That is, the insurance period after 01/01/2002 does not affect the amount of the pension, the available insurance premiums are taken into account on the date the pension was established.

If there are reasons, you can retire earlier.

Maxim Topilin said that next year there will be an increase in pensions in three stages. The first increase will be in January 2018, the next - in April and August. The increase in the amount of pensioners' benefit will have some changes compared to previous increases.

The head of the Labor and Social Policy Committee Ya. Nilov said that the amendment to the bill on indexation of pensions for working pensioners was rejected by the government.

Who will increase pensions from January 1, 2018: in January, indexation will be for non-working pensioners

Pensioners who do not work will receive a pension increase in January 2018. The government will rearrange indexing a month in advance. Previously, the accrual was only from February. The level of pension depends on the rise in prices over the past year. Because of this, the Pension Fund waited for accurate inflation data, and then they gave a pension supplement. But this time the indexing will be faster.

At the beginning of next year, pensioners will receive an indexation of 3.7%. M. Topilin said that the PF is going to make an accrual earlier. Initially, a surcharge of 4% was planned. But according to Rosstat, the increase in prices was 3.7%. In 2017, the average payment to pensioners is 13,657 rubles. In 2018, it will be 14,045 rubles.

Who will increase pensions from January 1, 2018: social pensions will be indexed in April

More than four million people will receive social pension in 2018. This category includes the disabled, veterans and other beneficiaries. Also, such a pension is received by those who do not have sufficient work experience. On average, such a payment is 8,742 rubles, but from April it will be 4.1% more.

Children with disabilities, as well as adults of the first group of disabilities, receive 13,241 rubles this year. There are pensioners who receive 5-6 thousand rubles each, their pensions will be raised to the MMR.

Who will receive an increase in pensions from January 1, 2018: those pensioners who work will receive an additional payment to pensions in August

According to the Pension Fund, there are 43 million pensioners in Russia this year. 14 million of them are still working. A few years ago, a reform was canceled that provides for an increase in pensions for working pensioners. They receive only an additional payment in connection with the increase in work experience.

The company where pensioners work pays the insurance premium. It goes into retirement points. One point is equal to 78.58 rubles, in 2018 it will be 81.49 rubles. The number of points will depend on the salary. This also has limitations. The maximum increase next year will be no more than three points and 245 rubles.

Pension increase in 2018 for pensioners, latest news.

Pension increase in 2018 for pensioners, latest news

Indexation of pensions in 2018 in Russia will be carried out in three stages:

As early as January 1, the labor pension will increase by 3.7 percent non-working pensioners(for old age, for disability and for the loss of a breadwinner). This indexing will be done one month earlier than usual, since the Government decided to index these species pension payments above the inflation rate, which in 2017 was at a record low level (less than 3%).
From February 1, in the usual manner, social payments paid by the Pension Fund on their own or in the form of an addition to a pension (UDV, NSU) will be indexed. In 2018, these payments will be indexed based on actual inflation for 2017(predicted at a level of less than 3%, so pensioners are unlikely to feel such an increase).
From April 1, indexation of social pensions paid to a pensioner in the absence of work experience (including for disabled children) will be carried out. This type of pension is assigned in a fixed amount and increases taking into account the change in the last year's value. living wage pensioner. In 2018, the indexation of social pensions is planned at the level of 4.1%.
The moratorium on indexation of pensions for working pensioners in 2018 will be maintained - that is, employed citizens who are already retired will be able to count only for recalculation from August 1 on accrued pension points for the previous year. They will be able to receive all indexation missed during the moratorium only after dismissal.

In addition to the indexation of pension payments, 2018 will also see a number of changes in the fundamentals of pension provision. Russian citizens, which will affect the conditions for retirement upon reaching retirement age and the formation pension rights working citizens. Another question that worries pensioners in connection with the advent of the new year is whether there will be 5,000 rubles for pensioners in January 2018 (alas, no - this time there will be no such payment).

Pension increase in 2018 for pensioners, latest news. Indexation of pensions in 2018

According to the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, insurance (labor) pensions of citizens must be indexed annually from February 1 to the inflation rate of the previous year, and if the PFR has additional financial resources, indexation is repeated on April 1. But in the new year the traditional indexing order labor pensions will change: their increase will occur 1 month earlier - already from January 1, 2018.

This is because the increase includes a higher percentage than recorded actual inflation, so there is no need to wait until February for Rosstat to calculate inflation for 2017 (expected to be less than 3 percent).

Social pensions and other social payments made by the Pension Fund, will be raised as usual on the actual level of price growth for 2017:

monthly social payments for pensions - from February 1, based on actual inflation for 2017 (less than 3 percent);
social pensions disabled citizens- from April 1 in relation to the increase in the subsistence minimum (approximately 4.1 percent).

At the same time, the increase in insurance pensions will not affect employed pensioners. Recall that the indexation of pensions for working citizens was suspended in 2016 due to the difficult economic situation in the country. This freeze helped the state save 12 billion rubles. However, all missed indexations must be compensated to the citizen as early as the next month after dismissal.

Pension increase from January 1, 2018 (latest news)

In accordance with the law adopted by the State Duma on December 15, 2017 (introduced by the Government as draft law No. 274624-7) on changing the procedure for indexing insurance pensions in 2018, all types of this pension provision (for old age, for disability, for the loss of a breadwinner) should increase from January 1, 2018 by 3.7%. At the same time, the previous procedure for increasing labor pensions is suspended until the beginning of 2019, and this increase does not apply to working pensioners (see the text of the law below).

It must be borne in mind, however, that any insurance pension consists of two parts:

fixed payment(or PV) is a constant value guaranteed by the state (for all categories of recipients it is set in a fixed amount);
directly insurance part - This is an individual calculated value, which depends on the number of pension points earned during the work.

The January indexation will affect both parts of the pension as follows:

The fixed payout will be increased by 3.7% to a fixed amount 4982 rubles 90 kopecks, its increase or decrease is legally established for certain categories of citizens by law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013;
The insurance part of the pension directly depends on the points earned by the pensioner, the cost of which will increase by 3.7% from January 1 and will amount to 81 ruble 49 kopecks.
In 2017, the actual inflation in the country was fixed at no more than 3%. Consequently, the increase in pensions proposed by the Government by 1.037 times in 2018 formally covers the increase in consumer prices (although, of course, in terms of its absolute value, this increase will be very small - the increase will be even less than in previous years).
Pension increase in 2018 for pensioners, latest news. Increase in social payments to pensioners in 2018 from February 1

From February 1, 2018, there will also be an increase (indexation) of all social payments of the Pension Fund provided for various categories of citizens (disabled people, veterans, heroes of Russia, etc.). They are provided in the form of monthly cash transfers (CTS), an integral part of which is also a set of social services (NSS).

In general, the NSI consists of three parts (medicines, travel and sanatorium treatment) and is provided at the choice of the pensioner one of two ways:

in kind (that is, directly social services);

in monetary terms with the rejection of natural.

The cost of a set of such services (each part separately) is determined by law and increases in direct proportion to the growth monthly payment(EDV) - i.e. by the same percentage. In 2018, this increase is planned at a level of less than 3%, so beneficiaries will hardly feel such an increase.

Thus, from February 1, 2018, it is planned to index social payments (including a set of social services) to the actual level of inflation of the previous year. In the draft Government Decree, this value was fixed at 3.2%, but the actual inflation will be less than 3%, so the increase will be even smaller (the same applies to child benefits in 2018).
Indexation of social pension in 2018 from April 1 by 4.1%

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

It should be noted that in the last two years there has been a decrease in the established growth rates of social pensions. So in April 2017, this type of pension was indexed by only 1.5%. In 2018, it is planned to reach the usual (pre-crisis) increase in the level of this type of pension provision - the projected increase in social pensions will be approximately 4.1% in April 2018.

Unlike labor pensions, the indexation of social pensions is tied to changing the living wage for a pensioner for the previous year. Therefore, the amount of indexation of insurance and social pensions for the same year may differ (although in both cases it is related to actual rise in consumer prices).

Thus, one of the positive changes in 2018 is a more tangible increase in the subsistence minimum (PM) in the country, including separately by region. At the same time, the established PM allows all non-working pensioners to receive additional payments (the so-called social benefits up to the living wage- federal and regional), if the amount of their pensions is lower than the approved values.

According to the legislation, the level of a citizen's pension must always be not below the subsistence level in the region, in which he lives (hence the seemingly strange statements of the Government that “there are no poor pensioners in Russia” - they all receive pensions in combination with other social benefits in the amount of at least the PM.

Since 2010, applications for the appointment of a pension have already included a section on receiving social supplements. If your pension was assigned before 2010, and you did not submit a separate application for an additional payment, and the amount of the pension is below the established subsistence level in the region, then you must independently contact the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund.

Pension increase in 2018 in Russia for working pensioners

The laws adopted in the State Duma do not provide for any changes for the working population receiving pensions for 2018. And this means that pensions will continue to be paid to working pensioners. without annual indexation.

Recall that the indexation of pensions was stopped in February 2016 for those citizens who continue to work, exercising their right to pensions. The Government's plans included not indexing pensions for working Russians up to 2019.

This moratorium on indexation of pensions operates as follows:

Those citizens who retired before February 1, 2016 and retained their jobs remain without an increase in their pensions from February 2016.
For citizens who have become pensioners, after February 1, 2016, when calculating the individual pension coefficient (IPC), all increases that took place on the date of the emergence of the right to a pension are taken into account.
If you continue working and at the same time receive a pension, all subsequent indexations from the moment of employment will not apply again.
Working pensioners have the right to increase the size of the pension only through an annual recalculation according to the employer. From August 1 of each year, the pensions of such citizens are increased by the number of points taken into account in the previous year for the period of employment and payment of insurance premiums during this period. But no more than 3 points per year!
An example of how working pensioners will recalculate pension indexation in the Pension Fund

A woman born on 05/01/1962 retired in 2017 within the terms established by law and continues to work. What indexation will be taken into account when determining the amount of the pension? And from what time will the pension stop being indexed?

The calculation of the pension for this woman will be made on the date May 1, 2017. When calculating the IPC, all approved pension growth indices will be taken into account, starting from 2015 to 05/01/2017.

The cost of one pension coefficient will be taken as of 05/01/2017 - this is 78.58 rubles.
The fixed payment, which is part of the insurance pension, will be taken into account taking into account the indexation on the date of May 1, 2017 and is equal to 4805.11 rubles.

Further, subject to the continuation of paid work, all subsequent indexation of singing after the appointment will be suspended. Those. The indexation, carried out from January 1, 2018 by 3.7%, will no longer be applied to the pension of this woman. And this will continue until she quits her job or is fired by her employer.

Indexation of pension after the dismissal of a working pensioner in 2018

In 2017, a law was adopted, according to which there was a change in the period for recalculating pensions after dismissal. In 2018, working pensioners will be able to receive a pension with all missed indexes already from the next month after the dismissal. At the same time, the pensioner himself will not need to additionally apply to the Pension Fund, since this recalculation is entirely based on the monthly reporting of employers!

Previously, after leaving work, the pensioner received a recalculation of the received pension, taking into account all indexations for three months:

the first month is the submission of reports to employers in the FIU about citizens working in the organization;

the third is the adoption by the territorial body of the PFR of a decision on recalculation.
For citizens who have stopped labor activity in 2018, the period for accruing pensions is reduced, taking into account the indexations missed during the work. This will be possible after the entry into force from January 1, 2018 Federal Law No. 134-FZ dated July 1, 2017.

However, the process of additional accrual of missed increases will be the same for technical reasons. will also take several months. But after that, when paying an already recalculated pension after 3 months, an additional payment will be made for the entire period since the termination.

This innovation applies only to laid-off after January 1, 2018. If a pensioner quit, for example, in December 2017, then the additional indexation of his pension will be carried out only from April 1, 2018 - without additional payment for the period from January to March (in other words, these months will be lost).

Last news and recent changes in pension provision

As it has already become clear, the increase in pensions in the new year for most categories of pensioners will be very small (inconspicuous) or, as for a large category of working pensioners, there will be none at all. But in the new year requirements will rise to the already formed pension rights and the level of wages of Russian citizens for retirement:

The minimum requirements required for retirement in 2018 will increase by the planned values ​​provided for by the law “On Insurance Pensions” – now for this you will need to have at least 9 years of work experience And minimum 13.8 pension points.
Earn new retirement points for the working population from 2018 becomes much more difficult, since the maximum value of the base for calculating insurance premiums in the PFR in 2018 (based on which the points earned for the year are calculated) will be increased immediately by 16.55% - from 876 thousand rubles to 1 million 021 thousand. - in accordance with Government Decree No. 1378 of November 15, 2017. And it is unlikely that anyone in Russia is now growing at the same pace (well, if at all).

No other significant changes are expected in the Russian pension system in 2018. In particular, the lump-sum payment to pensioners in the amount of 5,000 rubles expected by many will not be paid in 2018- it was a one-time, one-time surcharge, which was due to all pensioners in January 2017 in exchange for the additional indexation provided for by law, which was missed in 2016 (and there is simply no reason to pay it in 2018).

And one of the few really good news for Russians is that no decision has yet been made to increase the retirement age, which is relevant for those who are still working or planning to retire (including men born in 1958 and women born in 1963).
Will there be a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles to pensioners in 2018?

At the beginning of 2017, recipients of all types of pensions, regardless of the fact of work, received an additional payment in the amount of 5,000 rubles. This measure was necessary in the current economically unstable situation.

Against the backdrop of high inflation and the inability to carry out additional indexation of pensions in 2016, it was decided to make a lump-sum payment in addition to citizens' pensions (Law No. 385-FZ of November 22, 2016). Thus, the pensions of Russians were "conditionally indexed", many of whom took it simply as a gift for the New Year.

Currently, according to the Government, the economic situation in the country is normalizing. Over the past 12 months, consumer price growth (inflation) has not exceeded 3%, and pensions in 2017 rose by a total of 5.78% for two indexations.

The upcoming indexation of 3.7%, scheduled for January 2018, exceeds the inflation rate for 2017. Therefore, no additional lump sum payments(5 thousand rubles or any other) in addition to the already pledged indexation will not be made!

Will there be an increase in the retirement age in 2018 (latest news)

In the past few years, the most discussed and acute for Russians is the issue of raising the retirement age. In many other countries, including post-Soviet ones, relevant decisions have already been made and are being implemented.

For example, from January 2017 in Belarus, the retirement age will be increased annually by six months until women reach 58 and men 63. In Kazakhstan, the same values ​​\u200b\u200bare valid - for women at 58 years old, for men at 63 years old.
In many developed countries, such as Germany, men retire at 65 and women at 60.
In Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on pension reform, which also includes an increase in the current retirement age.
Now this question is ripe in Russia. According to the Government, first of all, it is interconnected with the fact that the length of the working age is increasing in the country - i.e. about a third of Russians already stop working after retirement due to age.

However, so far, due to the great unpopularity of this measure, the Government of Russia has not yet made a final decision to extend the retirement age (although many consider this issue resolved and note that it will most likely begin to be implemented after the next presidential election, which will be held in March 2018 — but so far it's just a rumor).

How many points and seniority do you need to retire in 2018?

Since 2015, there has been a point system for calculating labor (insurance) pensions for citizens, in which the insurance premiums paid to the Pension Fund by the employer for their employees are converted from rubles into relative values ​​(points). The amount of contributions recorded for the year is correlated with the limit of the recorded amount of contributions approved by the Government, to which 10 retirement points(this is the maximum that can be obtained in one year).

But in order to obtain the right to retire on an old-age pension within the generally established terms, it is necessary to comply three prerequisites:

the onset of the age established by law;
the presence of insurance (labor) experience;
the presence of an established value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC) or in other words, the amount of pension points.

It should be noted that this only applies to old-age pensions! Other types of pensions under compulsory pension insurance (disability, survivors) appointed independently on the duration of labor (insurance) experience and the number of points received.

Since 2018, a prerequisite for granting a pension upon reaching retirement age (now it is 55 years for women and 60 years for men) is the presence of 9 years of experience and 13.8 points individual pension coefficient (IPC).

An example of calculating pension points from 2015 to 2018

For a man born in 1965, he has an official salary before income tax (personal income tax) in the amount of 30,000 rubles (respectively, his salary for the year is 360,000 rubles). Suppose the salary of this citizen has never been raised since 2015. At the same time, deductions for the funded part of the pension are not made for him, since he was born earlier than 1967. Thus, the employer deducts insurance premiums for this man to an individual personal account in the amount of 16% of earnings before the deduction of personal income tax - that is, 16% x 360,000 = 57,600 rubles per year. Let's calculate how many points this man has earned since 2015, when the new pension formula began to operate.

For these purposes, the Government annually approves the so-called marginal wage, the amount of mandatory deductions from which in the FIU to the individual personal account of a citizen is 16%. Thus, the maximum established salary in the country from 2015 to 2018 is the following values ​​(see table below).

Year

The maximum amount of insurance premiums taken into account (16% of the base), rub.

In 2018, the insurance base for contributions to the Pension Fund will be 1,021,000 rubles in accordance with Government Decree No. 1378 dated November 15, 2017. Then the maximum amount of insurance premiums taken into account for the year, taken as 10 points, will be 163,360 rubles (an increase compared to 2017 immediately by almost 17 %).

Therefore, each ruble earned in 2018 will “depreciate” when converted into pension points by 1 - (1 / 1.17) = 15% relative to 2017, and by more than 30% relative to the level of 2015! Therefore, it is not enough to have only a constant high salary for the formation of decent pension rights. So that their volume does not decrease from year to year, according to the new pension formula salary must increase by at least 10% per year(see table above).

Let's go back to our example. To translate the monthly earnings of 30,000 rubles into points, you need to correlate the salary data (taking 16% of the annual earnings, which in this example will be 57,600 rubles per year) to the established limit values ​​\u200b\u200band multiply by 10:

57600 / 113760 x 10 = 5.06 points earned by a citizen in 2015;
57600 / 127360 x 10 = 4.52 points in 2016;
57600 / 140160 x 10 = 4.11 points in 2017;
57600 / 163360 x 10 = 3.53 points will be earned in 2018.

Thus, in just 4 years, while maintaining the same level of wages (in this example, this is 30 thousand rubles per month) the number of accrued pension points decreased by 30%(in this example, from 5.06 points in 2015 to 3.53 in 2018). Thus, in the modern pension system there is a mechanism that leads to a decrease in the level of annually accumulated pension rights while maintaining the same wage!

Accordingly, in the considered example, since 2015, a citizen has earned 5.06 + 4.52 + 4.11 + 3.53 = 17.22 points. Moreover, if a citizen had the right to a pension in 2017, then all points accrued to him must be multiplied by 78.58 rubles - this is the cost of an insurance point from April 1, 2017. And if the right to a pension arises in 2018, then from January 1, it will be necessary to multiply by 81.49 rubles.

Since the beginning of April, social pensions will increase in Russia, as well as payments tied to the size of a social pension. Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a government decree on the indexation of social pensions from April 1. The indexation (in fact, the increase) of pensions will affect about four million people.

What was discussed at the government meeting

At a government meeting, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev stated:

“We do this [index social pensions] by law every year. The document approves the size of the coefficient by which pensions are increased. Now we are allocating about ten billion rubles for these purposes. The indexation will affect approximately four million people.”

The Russian prime minister noted that from April 1, not only pensions will increase, but also other payments, the amount of which is tied to the size of the social pension.

How much will pensions increase from April 1

On average, Russian pensioners will receive 9062 rubles- on 255 rubles more than before the increase.

What is the pension supplement?

According to the decree of the Russian government, the living wage for Russian pensioners increased annually. So in 2016 it was 8081 rubles, and in 2017 - 8315 rubles. The index of increase in the subsistence minimum for pensioners was 1.029. Accordingly, the indexation coefficient for social pensions was also approved at 1.029, which is approximately 255 rubles.

Thus, from April 1, the size of the social pension will be increased in accordance with this coefficient - by 255 rubles.

How to get an increased pension

You don't need to do anything for this. Pensioners receiving a social pension will be subject to the so-called unclaimed recalculation, which takes place automatically.

Who else will receive a pension increase

Also from April 1, an increase in pensions will be received by: participants in the Great Patriotic War; conscripted military personnel and members of their families; citizens affected by radiation or man-made disasters and members of their families; flight test personnel.

Indexation will affect 3.9 million Russian citizens, including 3.1 million recipients of social pensions.
