Increase and indexation of pensions for disabled children and adults in 2020: groups 1, 2 and 3, latest news

The increase in pensions for disabled people in 2020 worries all benefit recipients in Russia. The fact is that the worsening economic crisis, rising prices for the minimum consumer basket, high utility bills, and inflation make us worry about disability benefits. Let's figure out how all this will affect cash payments. Will the size of pensions change?

What types of financial assistance are available to disabled people in 2020?

No significant changes are expected in the structure of disability subsidies for children or adults. As before, two types of material support have been established for 2020. The first is called social benefits. It applies to disabled pensioners and does not depend on length of service. Social support is directly tied to the level of the subsistence minimum (as is known, it is considered to be 10,444 for this year). Labor compensation depends on the pensioner’s length of service. There is also a state payment for the disabled population. Its size is constantly indexed.

Non-material benefits for people with disabilities

If necessary, people with disabilities can receive not only financial support, but also household assistance.

By contacting the social security authorities, you can ask for various means of rehabilitation, a wheelchair, crutches, hearing aids, etc. If you have limited mobility, social workers should provide individual assistance.

If you are caring for a disabled person of the first group and do not have an official income, you can apply for a care allowance. You are entitled to a cash payment of 1200 rubles. and also guaranteed work experience.

Indexation of disability pension in 2020

The indexation of disability pensions in 2020 for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 is of concern to all interested segments of the population. But big changes are not expected. Firstly, the budget in this area was approved back in 2020. It provided for annual indexation of pensions for persons with disabilities, regardless of the type established by the commission. Secondly, the previously predicted increase in fees for the presence of health restrictions by approximately 1000 is not traceable to the subsidies that have already occurred. Yes, there is an increase, but in most cases it is a smaller share than was promised.

1 group

Group 1 is assigned by doctors in case of a person’s inability to cope with basic self-care tasks and lack of internal control of behavior. Of course, such citizens cannot earn a living on their own, so their pension is noticeably larger than others in size. The fixed amount of disability pension support for representatives of type 1 is 10,668.38 Russian rubles. This is almost twice as much as financial assistance for group 2 disabled people. This year, 412 rubles were added to adults with type 1 diseases, and 495 rubles to those with childhood disabilities.

2nd group

Type 2 disability is assigned to those who are capable of self-care with little or serious assistance from outsiders, and are also capable of studying under a simplified program of correctional schools. Such people can only work in simple positions related to physical labor or similar actions. The indexation of emeritus and regular disability benefits this year also affected type 2 disabled people. The standard monthly payment amount does not exceed 5334.19. But (news reports for February) the latest increase for adult beneficiaries reached 206 and 412 for people suffering from a serious illness since childhood.

3 group

Group 3 is assigned to those who are capable of self-care without the use of aids. Such citizens with disabilities are able to work, so their pension is somewhat smaller in terms of volume. The increase in pensions for disabled children in 2020 for group 3 also did not take long to arrive. Payments to adults and children increased by 175, and the fixed average rate was 2667.09 Russian rubles. Nevertheless, data on subsequent indexation suggests that representatives of all of the above types can expect an increase of 200-300 rubles at the beginning of 2020 or at the very end of December. The exact figure will depend on the position of the state currency in the global financial market.

How have pensions changed over the last 5 years?

Pensions for disabled people are calculated based on the established disability group, thus it is possible to increase pensions for those categories of citizens whose disability group is higher than the required degree of disability.

There are 2 types of disability pension payments:

• social disability pension;
• disability labor pension.

The fixed basic size of the disability pension in the Russian Federation was introduced in 2012, and it corresponds to the size of the basic parts of the labor pension. Depending on the income of the Pension Fund and on the growth of the average salary in the country, the government of the Russian Federation adopts resolutions on indexing the fixed amount of the pension.

Since 2020, the average pension for Russian pensioners is:

• for old age - 13,045 rubles;
• for loss of a breadwinner - 8992 rubles;
• for disability - 8553 rubles.

The increase in disability pensions was carried out on April 1, 2016, they were increased by 4%, and social payments (DEMO, NSU, EDV) also increased by 7%. The increase in disability pension was:

• for disabled people of group I - 380 rubles;
• for disabled people of group II - 190 rubles;
• for disabled people of group III - 160 rubles;
• for disabled children - 450 rubles.

A social pension for disabled people is assigned if the citizen belongs to one of the following categories: disabled children, disabled children, elderly people (women 60 years old and men 65 years old), disabled people (I, II and III) groups who have not yet been insured in the unified pension insurance system and have not developed the required work experience, which gives the right to receive a labor pension for disability or old age.

Citizens from among the indigenous peoples of the North who have reached the required age (50 years for women, 55 years for men) also have the right to receive a social pension. Children who have lost one of their parents or orphans who were not insured in the pension insurance system and have not yet acquired the right to receive a labor pension (due to this circumstance) in the event of the loss of a breadwinner can still apply for a social pension. If a citizen was recognized as disabled before January 2011, then the amount of the pension is established without additional examination and he will be given the choice of the most profitable option for calculating the amount of the pension.

A labor pension for disabled people can be assigned only if there is at least 1 day of insurance experience. When a disabled person does not have such experience, a social pension is paid. For disabled people of group III, the pension is calculated taking into account the entire length of service that was completed before 2002. If disability was assigned earlier than this period, then the maximum length of service coefficient is set to 0.3.

A citizen can apply for recalculation of his pension if his disability group has changed:

• a higher disability group was established, the new pension amount is paid from the date of the relevant decision by the authorized body of the state medical and social examination service;
• a lower disability group was established, the pension is paid from the 1st day of the month following the month for which the previous disability group was established.

Based on the personal pension file of each disabled person, the amount of the disability pension is recalculated. To do this, it is necessary to provide additional necessary documents based on the results of the length of service to the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of residence.

New pensions for disabled children

Children with disabilities, as the least protected social class, are provided with such government support measures as:

1. Social subsidy for disability. It is indexed once every 12 months. From mid-spring it will reach 12,730.82, while now it does not exceed 12,432.44 rubles for citizens with disabilities of group 1, for people with disabilities of type 2 it will change from 10,360.52 to 10,609.17. And for representatives of the 3rd group - from 4403.24 to 4508.92. Additional interest is also provided for residents of cool areas of the country or regions similar in geographical and natural conditions to the far north.
2. Monthly cash payment (called EDV).
3. Set of social services (NSS).
4. Monthly payment for carers of a minor with disabilities in the amount of 1200 to 5500. It is intended for the biological parents or official guardians of the child. There is good news: the president has submitted for consideration a proposal to increase these payments to 10,000. The increase is expected from July of this year.

Who is affected by indexing?

The annual increase in social pensions is a measure to support vulnerable categories of the population, designed to maintain their solvency. The adopted circulars and policy documents take into account the inflation rate for the previous calendar year.

The increase occurs once a year:

• In February – for additional payments;
• In April – for social pensions.

The increase in 2020 was felt by all recipients of state compensation; its value in absolute and relative values ​​is presented in the table.

The maximum increase in payments is for disabled children under parental care, the minimum is for disabled people of group 3, who for the most part continue to work in enterprises.

An individual increase may seem insignificant, but on a national scale this results in additional tens of billions of rubles.

General calculation of disability pension

To calculate the disability insurance, a special formula has been created, expressed as P=PK/(T*K)+B. How to use it correctly?

• P is the required totality of money due to a disabled person;
• The letters PC code the citizen’s total capital in the Pension Fund;
• T is the number of months until retirement age;
• K – ratio of experience to coefficient 180;
• B refers to the amount of basic financial assistance for disability.

The amount of standard disability support is calculated individually. Factors influencing the final figure are the presence of other dependents in the family, type of illness, type of pension accruals. Otherwise, the size of the state is calculated: GP=SP*PS. What do these encodings mean?

• GP – abbreviation of the term state fee;
• SP is the amount of social benefit for the disability group;
• PS - interest rate from 100% to 300% for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.

The size of the NSS is established separately, the total for this year does not exceed 1111.75 rubles. It is stated that the supplement for medications is 807.94-856 rubles, 129.99-135.45 rubles for spa procedures and 116.04 for travel on public transport. Of course, this money is not enough to fully cover expenses. But their benefits and relevance cannot be denied. It is also possible to replace NSO with actual assistance. Thus, you can count on free travel by public transport to the place of treatment (clinic, hospital or even a sanatorium outside the locality) and back. Undoubtedly, it is more profitable.

Additional payments to pensions

Everyone’s pension is formed not only due to personal contributions, but also thanks to contributions from the Fund. So what payments should people with the second group of disability expect?

It is worth highlighting three components of the pension of people in this category:

1. A standard level that is established at the state level. This includes labor or social services. pay.
2. An increase at the federal level, which is assigned to citizens of certain categories. Such allowances can be established for a certain period, for example, 2 years, or be completely permanent. For example, this could include an increase for disabled people of the second group who participated in hostilities, or those who were able to reach eighty years of age, and so on.
3. Increase at the regional level. It is also established for citizens of certain categories. This includes disabled people in the Far North, teachers, and so on. Here you should be especially careful, since everything is extremely individual.

What are the total amounts of disability payments expected in 2020?

According to recent statistics from the Federal State Statistics Service, it has been established that the average disability subsidy for 2020 for all citizens eligible for the preferential category is 17,888. It is worth noting that the actual payments received by people with disabilities are usually lower, which makes one wonder at the statistics. But it’s hard to live even on that amount for a whole month in conditions of constant inflation and rising prices for the consumer basket. Therefore, the indexation of pensions for disabled children in 2020 is a topic that is extremely pressing in society.

But pleasant changes are also predicted. The pension point established by the Government has already begun to increase to 87.24 rubles, while at the beginning of the year it reached only 81.49. What can be said about the average general indicators of disability benefits for the 1st half of 2020?

1. The amount of the standard subsidy for disabled people of type 1 ranges between 9965 and 10668.
2. Representatives of 2 grams receive about 9216 per 30 days. There is every chance that the average will take a leap for the better.
3. People with disabilities of the 3rd type receive approximately 8,713 monthly from the state. This information will change after valorization, but final general statistics will be available only after Rosstat publishes verified data for recent times.

How to arrange indexing

Adjustment of payments occurs without an application, so recipients of social grants do not need to contact the departments with an application and an additional package of documents.

The algorithm of actions in this case is simple:

1. The regulatory document comes into force.
2. Pension Fund employees responsible for accrual make adjustments to payments.
3. Recipients of allowances are transferred or given subsidies, taking into account the indexation carried out.

If disability has been established for the first time, then to receive a pension you must contact the Pension Fund with an application, passport and ITU certificate. After a ten-day review, a decision will be made on the assignment of benefits, and in the next month after the application, the disabled person will begin to receive the monetary payments due to him.

Latest news on increasing pensions for disabled people in 2020

Indexation of pensions for disabled people in 2020 is considered a popular topic in economic publications. Although there has been no important news lately. The state has long ago announced its plans to reorganize payments upon reaching retirement age. But there are several news items not mentioned in previous paragraphs. Firstly, the state plans to make one-time payments to disabled children of all categories in the amount of 5,000. Secondly, it is planned to valorize the NSO by 4.3%, which is good news for those who find it more convenient to receive the cash equivalent of social services. Thirdly, on February 20 of this year, the president addressed the Federal Assembly with an initiative to revise the principle of improving social support measures. This will lead to an increase in fees for persons with disabilities by approximately 2.4%.

Assignment of pension payments to disabled people of group 2

Group 2 disability is characterized by serious impairments in the functioning of the body, which do not allow one to fully care for oneself and work fully. People with this category are not allowed to work, but they can be employed if the enterprise has specialized equipment. In the first case, citizens are entitled to a disability pension due to incapacity, which is issued according to the following algorithm.

1. Receive a referral to undergo a medical and social examination, which is issued by the territorial health authorities.
2. Collect a package of documents consisting of:

• national passport;
• application form filled out;
• SNILS;
• referrals for examination;
• outpatient card;
• papers confirming disability in childhood (if available);
• documents establishing the fact of an injury at work (if the defects were the result of work in a dangerous enterprise).

1. Pass a medical examination and receive a conclusion indicating the disability group.
2. Contact the territorial office of the Pension Fund to assign payments.

Pension for disabled people is divided into 2 types:

• labor – calculated on the basis of the employer’s insurance contributions for an employee who has become disabled; paid if you have at least one day of work experience;
• social – issued to people with disabilities who have never worked before.

You cannot teach 2 types of content at once. You only need to select one of the options provided.

Social benefits are accrued for the duration of the ITU certificate. If it is issued for an indefinite period, then payments are assigned indefinitely. If it is necessary to go through the commission again every year and confirm the status of disabled person, then you will also need to confirm the grounds for the pension.

What additional payments are provided?

People with disabilities may be able to earn money on their own and meet their needs without outside help. However, the category considered in this article includes people who are dependent on loved ones and cannot cope with the current situation on their own. However, pension contributions are not enough for everyone. For this reason, the state provides certain types of benefits and allowances designed to ease the burden borne by breadwinners. However, activities that provide support for those in need are carried out only if certain conditions are met. Types of financial assistance include:

1. Additional payment up to the subsistence level, the level of which is established at the legislative level;
2. Monthly payments in cash (MAP);
3. Compensation for social services included in the package (NSS);
4. Additional material support.

Some subsidies may be approved for a person with a specific status, for example, for WWII veterans. In addition, regions have the right to provide assistance to their residents by providing legal acts with measures available to those living in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

Social benefits

This support measure is available to all elderly people whose level of income is below the subsistence level established by the Law. Similar accruals are made at both the federal and regional levels. The first are made at the expense of the Pension Fund, and the second - by local social protection authorities.

EDV

The amount of monthly payments depends on the disability group. These benefits are indexed every year. In the current period, the increase was 4.3%. People with II degree disability began to receive 1,580 rubles. Persons with disabilities of the first degree receive the most - 2,661 rubles.

Those living in places affected by radiation due to man-made disasters are paid an increased amount of EDV. Moreover, the amount of income of the beneficiary depends on the time spent in such conditions. After leaving the dangerous territory, payments stop.

Question:

Are monthly payments due on two grounds to a disabled citizen who has the status of a veteran who participated in military conflicts?

Answer:

Sometimes a person applies for registration of EDV for several reasons at once. Such cases are not uncommon. However, deductions are not cumulative. Receipt occurs according to the larger of the payments. For example, Ivanov I.I. – disabled person 2 gr. and a participant in combat operations who has a veteran's certificate. For the stated reasons, a preference is granted in the amount of 1,580 and 1,851 rubles, respectively. At the same time, the second amount will be transferred to the Specified Beneficiary, since it is larger.

NSO

Social services are included in the EDV. However, in practice it is customary to consider this type of support separately. NSS is provided in kind or, at the request of the beneficiary, in cash equivalent. The set includes the following services provided free of charge:

• provision of prescription drugs;
• referral to sanatorium-resort institutions on vouchers;
• free travel to and from places of rest or treatment.

Important! If a disabled person refuses any of the indicated preferences, the latter is replaced by an equivalent in monetary terms. The compensation is added to the insurance pension accrued as a result of a person becoming disabled: about 700 rubles to the base amount - in case of refusal to issue medications at the expense of the budget; 100 rubles – for travel to the place of treatment (rest).

The difference between the value of NSI for different groups of disabled people can be seen in the table:

EDV is accrued for only one benefit. The beneficiary himself determines what suits him best. At the same time, persons who became disabled as a result of hostilities can purchase all benefits without having to make a choice.

Additional collateral

Additional support is paid in accordance with Presidential Decree No. 363 of March 30, 2005. To apply, you must have the status of a WWII participant. The preference format is divided into two types:

• 1,000 rub. — veterans of the Great Patriotic War, released prisoners who were in concentration camps during their minority period receive monthly;
• 0.5 t.r. – every 30 days for survivors of the siege of Leningrad, prisoners of concentration camps, widows of those killed in the Second World War, etc.
