Additional payment to pensions for visiting pensioners in Moscow in 2020 latest news

Pension in Moscow for visiting pensioners in 2020

A visiting pensioner who has chosen the capital of the Russian Federation for permanent residence must understand several important points that allow him to qualify for a “Moscow” pension.

Thus, in accordance with the Decree of the Moscow Government of November 17, 2009 No. 1268-PP “On the regional social supplement to pensions,” a regional social supplement to pensions was established for non-working pensioners.

The conditions for the appointment and payment of regional social supplements are the following:

• the pensioner must be unemployed;
• the pensioner must be registered in Moscow at the place of residence;
• the pensioner must be a recipient of a pension in the city of Moscow.

Receiving capital pension payments when moving

After moving to Moscow from another region, pensioners often wonder who has the right to receive a pension in Moscow and how a newcomer can apply for it.

Important!

The very fact of moving to the capital will not affect the amount of payments. Any allowances and benefits accrued to the recipient of benefits for state merit, based on length of service, work in dangerous or harmful conditions, are not subject to change.

At the same time, the amount of security is affected by Moscow surcharges, the right to accrual of which is available to both native residents and non-resident recipients.

Pension benefits in the capital are issued in favor of citizens who meet all the criteria and fulfill all the established conditions.

At the same time, due to the expansion of Moscow territories, the total number of recipients of pension benefits and benefits increases every year, which leads to huge expenses from the city budget. At the moment, more than 3.5 million city residents receive various types of pension payments in Moscow.

To reduce the burden on Moscow's budgetary funds, the authorities periodically tighten the grounds for receiving additional allowances. At the same time, pensioners who were previously accrued additional funds are not subject to the tightening and can receive bonuses in the usual amount.

How is the pension supplement assigned and paid?

The following citizens can count on regional social supplement:

• citizens of the Russian Federation;
• Foreign citizens;
• stateless persons.

Important! All specified citizens must be registered at their place of residence in the city of Moscow.

It should be noted that for non-working pensioners registered in the city of Moscow at their place of residence, a regional social supplement is established if the total amount of their material support does not reach the city social standard.

City social standard is a social standard for the material support of non-working pensioners and disabled people receiving a pension (lifetime allowance) in the city of Moscow and registered at their place of residence in the city of Moscow, established by the Moscow Government (in 2020 it is 17,500 rubles, from September 1, 2020 - 19,500 rubles).

To be able to calculate pensions based on the city social standard, you must be registered at your place of residence in Moscow for at least 10 years.

Thus, if the amount of material support for a Moscow pensioner does not reach the pensioner’s subsistence level (in 2020 it is 12,115 rubles), then he will be required to receive a regional social supplement.

Features and possible reasons for failure

The most common reasons for refusal of payments are a lack of length of registration and the pensioner having a job that is not included in the permitted list. Payments will also be denied if the pensioner’s total monthly income from social assistance exceeds the limit of 17,500 rubles or is at the same level.

The reasons for refusal of additional pension payments are the lack of length of registration and the pensioner’s availability of work

To confirm the term, only official Moscow registration is suitable. This restriction has been in place since 2012, after cases of fictitious registration of relatives from other regions became more frequent. For those who have issued a temporary residence permit, the conditions for payment of the pension accepted in their home region apply.

You can appeal the refusal to higher authorities of social services or the pension fund. In the case where the first application was made at the regional office, the second one must be registered at the city office. If the dispute is of a fundamental nature, then the issue can be resolved in a court hearing.

Who will not receive a regional social supplement to their pension?

In accordance with clause 8 of the Procedure for assigning and paying regional social supplements to pensions to non-working pensioners, citizens do not have the right to a regional social supplement in the following cases:

• are not pension recipients in the city of Moscow;
• not registered in the city of Moscow by registration authorities;
• permanently or temporarily (more than six months) reside outside the Russian Federation (regardless of the fact of deregistration in the city of Moscow);
• permanently or temporarily reside in state inpatient social service institutions, educational, training and medical institutions for children and adolescents (with the exception of persons admitted for a five-day stay);
• are, according to certificates from educational institutions, fully supported by the state;
• undergo military (alternative) conscription service;
• are undergoing compulsory treatment in specialized institutions or are serving sentences in places of detention under a court verdict.

How is the regional social supplement determined?

To apply for a regional social supplement, a Moscow pensioner must contact the department of social protection of the population of the Moscow region at the place of residence (stay), providing the following documents:

• written statement;
• documents and information on the establishment of pensions, other monetary payments and the provision of social support measures included in the total amount of financial support for the pensioner.

Important! In the application for the appointment of a regional social supplement, the pensioner must sign an obligation to promptly (within 10 days) notify the social protection department of the Moscow region, which pays this supplement, about the occurrence of circumstances leading to a change in the amount of the regional social supplement or termination of its payment.

What should you do

I do not recommend calculating your future pension based on regional averages. These numbers are quite arbitrary: some people receive a pension below the average, while others receive a higher one. And what the average pension payments will look like in a year or 10 years is completely unknown.

Those who live in Siberia have an advantage: residents of the Far North and equivalent territories can retire and receive bonuses before residents of the capital. Find out if you suddenly fall under such conditions.

Let me remind you that there are much fewer risks and the size of your pension is larger if you have a white salary with contributions to the pension fund or if you invest money in non-state pension funds.

What is the size of the regional social supplement?

The size of the regional social pension supplement for each non-working pensioner is determined individually and depends on:

• the total amount of his material support;
• type of registration in the city of Moscow: at the place of residence or at the place of stay.

How different are pensions in the regions from Moscow?

To receive an insurance pension payment, a person must have eight years of insurance experience. For people who have received temporary registration in Moscow, the amount of the accrued pension will not change. To do this, you must have permanent registration in Moscow for at least ten years.
