Who will have their social pension increased in 2020? In Russia, from 2020 there will be many changes; a significant increase in the insurance pension, salary indexation, etc. are planned. But the social pension will not undergo such significant changes. Although its indexation in April 2019 will still be carried out in order to increase the purchasing power of recipients of funds.
INDEXATION OF SOCIAL PENSIONS IN 2020
From April 1, 2020, social pensions will be increased. The indexation coefficient is established annually by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation (Article 25 of Federal Law No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001). However, such a resolution has not yet been approved. The exact value of the coefficient will most likely be known in the first quarter of 2020.
Note that insurance pensions (which most citizens of the Russian Federation receive) will be indexed from January 1, 2019 .
However, we drew attention to the draft law on the Pension Fund budget for 2019, which provides money for increasing social pensions. This document provides for an indexation coefficient of 2.4 percentage points.
Note that the same coefficient is officially announced on the Pension Fund website in a press release.
Thus, even before the adoption of the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation, with a 90 percent probability we can say that in 2020 social pensions will be raised by 2.4 percent.
If we apply this coefficient to the current amounts of social pensions, we get the following table:
Social pension Who is paid Pension size until April 1, 2020 after April 1, 2019 For old age Small peoples of the North aged 55 for men and 50 for women 5,180.245 304.57 Disabled men over 65 and women over 60 (age indicated before the start of the pension reform 2019) For disability Disabled people from childhood, group 1, disabled children 12,432.4412 730.82 Disabled people from group 1, from childhood, group 2 10,360.5210 609.17 Disabled people from group 2 (except for people with disabilities from childhood)5 180.245 304.57 Disabled people of the 3rd group 4 403.244 508.92 Loss of a breadwinner Loss of one parent 5 180.245 304.57 Loss of both parents 10 360.5210 609.17 Parents whose parents are unknown Children of a deceased single mother
Note that in regions of the Far North or localities equivalent to localities, the pension increases by the regional coefficient.
The average annual social pension in 2020 will be 9,215 rubles. The Pension Fund reports on its website.
A social pension (for old age, for disability, for the loss of a breadwinner, for children whose both parents are unknown) is assigned under certain conditions to disabled citizens permanently residing in the Russian Federation. As a rule, these persons are not entitled to receive the corresponding insurance pensions, for example due to the lack of the required insurance period or pension points. So, for example, in 2018, a social old-age pension is provided to unemployed citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the ages of 65 and 60 years (men and women, respectively). In this case, there may be no length of service for a social pension at all.
Thus, social pension is a special type of pension. In 2018, more than 3 million Russian citizens receive it.
Who's going early?
The retirement age has remained the same for the majority of citizens entitled to early retirement. The changes did not affect workers in hazardous and hazardous industries (miners, rescuers, etc.), women with 5 children or more, parents of people with disabilities since childhood, etc.
The right to early retirement also remains for those who are granted a pension based on length of service - doctors, teachers and artists. However, now their retirement is postponed from the moment they complete their special service, taking into account the transition period to raise the retirement age.
Residents of the Far North and equivalent areas, as before, can retire 5 years earlier. At the same time, their retirement age is gradually increasing to 55 years for women and to 60 for men. At the same time, for teachers, doctors, artists and northerners who were supposed to retire in 2020, there is also a benefit - retirement six months earlier than the new retirement age. That is, in the first half of 2020, northerners aged 50.5 years and northerners aged 55.5 retired.
Since last year, new early workers have appeared. These are workers with extensive experience (42 years - men and 37 years - women) and mothers of many children with 3 and 4 children. If a mother has raised three children, she has the right to retire 3 years earlier, and if she has raised four children, she has the right to retire 4 years earlier. At the same time, she must have a minimum insurance period of at least 15 years.

What has changed for caregivers?
On July 1, 2020, Federal Law No. 86-FZ came into force, which excluded guardians and trustees from the list of persons covered by compulsory pension insurance. That is, now pensioners who are guardians or trustees who perform their duties for a fee (for payment) under a guardianship or trusteeship agreement, including under an agreement on a foster family, are not equated to working citizens, as was the case before. Therefore, like all non-working pensioners, their insurance pension and a fixed payment to it are indexed annually.

Pension Fund income
Pension Fund revenues increased in 2020 compared to 2020 by 511 billion rubles (6.2%) and amounted to 8% of Russia’s GDP, the Accounts Chamber concluded.
“Compared to 2020, the Pension Fund’s income increased by 511,355,601.3 thousand rubles (106.2%). The Pension Fund’s income amounted to 8% of GDP (in 2020 - 7.9% of GDP),” the document says.
According to the Ministry of Economic Development, Russia's GDP in 2020 amounted to 110 trillion rubles.
According to the document, the PFR budget for 2020 was executed with a surplus of 153 billion rubles. The main volume of income comes from insurance premiums, the share of which in the Pension Fund’s income increased from 60% in 2020 to 61.6% in 2020. In total, in 2020, insurance premiums were received for 5.4 trillion rubles, of which 5.3 trillion were received for the payment of insurance pensions. “The received contributions covered the need for payment of the insurance pension by 76.6%,” the document notes.
The Accounts Chamber noted that in 2020, the total debt on insurance premiums to the Pension Fund budget decreased by 21 billion rubles (7.7%) and at the beginning of 2020 amounted to 259 billion rubles.

Barely disabled 3 gr 2.228 rub.
answer
For disabled people 3 gr. minimum pension, because they can work. I have 3 gr. indefinitely, but there are epilepsy attacks. And where should I go, and who will take it? I’ve been unemployed for five years, no one cares how I live on this pension. 50-60% goes to pay for something + on medications. So what remains? Buy inexpensive groceries or some clothes or shoes. There should be additional payments for children and for my husband, but I myself cannot collect all the documents. And why collect them? After all, according to their requests to the Pension Fund, the Civil Registry Office, etc. All documents will be provided quickly.
answer
Why have I been disabled since childhood, group 2, but receive a pension as a disabled person of group 2?
answer
Who calculated these pensions anyway? Have they tried to live on this money themselves? I am disabled 3 degrees. indefinitely. I receive medicines and a pension of 7600. Of these, rent + communications + electricity + water = 3500-4000. And the rest is for food and clothes. They don’t hire me, and I can’t do much. We practically cannot buy anything, only inexpensive products. And if you bought clothes or shoes, you will be hungry! This is my opinion, I’ve been living this way for several years and I can’t change anything. Maybe I don’t know something.
answer
I am retired, 50 years of work experience, a 3rd group disabled person and a labor veteran. I only receive 1,900 rubles towards my pension. Why so few?

Hello. My name is Maxim, I have been disabled since childhood (cerebral palsy), I live in the Krasnoyarsk Territory. I read on one of the sites that from February 1 the pension will be increased by 3%, but nothing has increased. Now I read that Putin gave a decree to raise pensions by 7% from April. Please tell me whether I can hope for a promotion or not? And, if so, where to go to clarify increases?
answer
admin 02/18/2020 at 10:28
Hello, Maxim. From February 1, there was indeed an increase, but it was not the pension that was increased, but the monthly cash payment for disability (EDV). The amount of EDV was actually increased by 3%.
From April 1, 2020, social old-age pensions will be increased (for those who do not have insurance coverage). They will tentatively be increased by 7%, but the exact index will only be approved in March, closer to the indexation date. The promotion will happen automatically; you don’t need to apply anywhere.
answer
Hello. The question is: is the increased pension only for April or until the end of 2020?
answer

In April, the amount for social benefits amounted to 14,015 rubles, EDV - 2,782 rubles. Question: Are the calculations done correctly by the Pension Fund?
answer
What social pensions have been increased since April 1? I have group 2 disability, and my pension came the same as usual. Are certain categories of social pensions being increased?
answer
For disabled people of group 3, the pension is 4765.27. Is it the same or higher in areas of the Far North and equivalent areas? Arkhangelsk.
answer
- admin 05/05/2020 at 11:27
Hello. If a regional coefficient is established at the place of residence, then it is also applied to the amount of the pension. For example, in the Arkhangelsk region it increases by 1.2 or 1.4 (depending on place of residence).
answer
Terribly small social pensions. Dear deputies, or whoever counts these pensions, I beg you, immediately increase social pensions by 5 thousand. This is also incredibly little, but when paying for housing and communal services, buying the necessary medicines, there is still very little left! It just so happened in life that someone (and there are many of us) became disabled. Who is guilty? But at least support them with a more or less decent social pension. And the size of current social pensions are simply humiliation! We also want to smile, to live more or less positively, and not to survive, which is what we are doing now! Medicines are expensive despite the discount. And the current social pensions are cat tears, a mockery of us. We are people too, can you imagine? Amendments to the constitution are ready that should work without amendments anyway. It would be better if the amendments included a significant increase in social pensions, then everyone would vote for it! We need a tangible increase in social pensions - not to the subsistence level with additional payments, but to the minimum wage. Do you agree? Sorry, it's boiling, screaming...

However, such a resolution has not yet been approved. The exact value of the coefficient will most likely be known in the first quarter of 2020.
Note that insurance pensions (which most citizens of the Russian Federation receive) will be indexed from January 1, 2019 .
However, we drew attention to the draft law on the Pension Fund budget for 2019, which provides money for increasing social pensions. This document provides for an indexation coefficient of 2.4 percentage points.
Note that the same coefficient is officially announced on the Pension Fund website in a press release.
Thus, even before the adoption of the Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation, with a 90 percent probability we can say that in 2020 social pensions will be raised by 2.4 percent.
If we apply this coefficient to the current amounts of social pensions, we get the following table:
Social pension Who is paid Pension size until April 1, 2020 after April 1, 2019 For old age Small peoples of the North aged 55 for men and 50 for women 5,180.245 304.57 Disabled men over 65 and women over 60 (age indicated before the start of the pension reform 2019) For disability Disabled people from childhood, group 1, disabled children 12,432.4412 730.82 Disabled people from group 1, from childhood, group 2 10,360.5210 609.17 Disabled people from group 2 (except for people with disabilities from childhood)5 180.245 304.57 Disabled people of the 3rd group 4 403.244 508.92 Loss of a breadwinner Loss of one parent 5 180.245 304.57 Loss of both parents 10 360.5210 609.17 Parents whose parents are unknown Children of a deceased single mother
Note that in regions of the Far North or localities equivalent to localities, the pension increases by the regional coefficient.
The average annual social pension in 2020 will be 9,215 rubles. The Pension Fund reports on its website.
A social pension (for old age, for disability, for the loss of a breadwinner, for children whose both parents are unknown) is assigned under certain conditions to disabled citizens permanently residing in the Russian Federation. As a rule, these persons are not entitled to receive the corresponding insurance pensions, for example due to the lack of the required insurance period or pension points. So, for example, in 2018, a social old-age pension is provided to unemployed citizens of the Russian Federation who have reached the ages of 65 and 60 years (men and women, respectively). In this case, there may be no length of service for a social pension at all.
Thus, social pension is a special type of pension. In 2018, more than 3 million Russian citizens receive it.
