Increase in pension for raising children: to whom and in what amount

Article current as of: October 2020

Pensioners with dependent minor children receive a pension supplement. An additional payment is also due for a child student under 23 years of age if he is studying full-time and does not work anywhere. The amount of the supplement to the pension for a dependent is determined as one third of the fixed payment to the insurance pension (IF).

• The amount of the pension fund in 2020 is 5334.20 rubles, so for one dependent the pensioner is paid an additional 1778.07 rubles.
• You can receive an increase for no more than three people, so the maximum additional payment is 5334.20 rubles (for three family members).

The cost of a fixed payment increases annually, therefore the amount of additional payment for disabled family members will increase every year. During the discussion of pension reform in 2020, a law was adopted that fixed the size of the pension fund for subsequent years. Therefore, it is already known how much the additional payment for dependents will be from 2020 to 2024.

In order to receive an increased pension, you must contact the Pension Fund with an application for recalculation. If a positive decision is made, the pension will be increased from the 1st of the next month . If the increase is refused, a written notification will be received from the Pension Fund (we remind you that not all pensioners are entitled to such an increase).

Amount of supplement to the pension for a dependent in 2019

The amount of payment for dependents is determined as a third of the amount of the fixed payment to the insurance pension (that is, its basic part). This norm is enshrined in law in Part 3 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013. Let us recall that from January 1, 2019, the cost of the PV was indexed by 7.05%, so its size was 5334.20 rubles.

Depending on the number of family members supported by the pensioner, the amount of the additional payment will be:

• 1778.06 rubles – for 1 dependent (that is, 1/3 of the financial allowance);
• 3556.12 rubles – for 2 dependents (that is, 2/3 of the financial allowance);
• 5334.19 rubles – for 3 dependents (that is, the full amount of the financial allowance).

The increase can be received for no more than three family members. That is, the maximum additional payment will be 5334.19 rubles.

An additional payment to the pension for a dependent in 2020 is also due to working pensioners. The “freeze” of indexation for citizens who continue to work did not affect the increase for disabled family members. Therefore, the amount of the bonus for them will be the same as for non-workers.

Pension supplement for minor children in 2020-2024

Every year, the amount of additional payment for minor children, students and other dependents increases from February 1. This is due to the indexation of the fixed payment amount in accordance with the price growth index. But since 2020, this increase procedure has been changed - now the payment amount is indexed from January 1 , and the indexation coefficient is set above the inflation rate. For example, in 2020, indexation was carried out at 7.05%, although according to Rosstat, inflation in 2020 was 4.3%. As a result, the value of the FI became equal to 5334.19 rubles, and for each dependent they began to pay an additional 1778.06 rubles. (i.e. 117 rubles more than in 2018).

This pace will be maintained for the next periods. In Part 8 of Art. 10 of Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018 approved the size of the PV until 2024. That is, it is now possible to determine what additional payment for dependents will be paid in subsequent years (see table below).

Supplements and supplements to pensions in 2020

The additional payment to citizens supporting a dependent, if they have grounds for receiving a pension, is set at 33% of the fixed amount of the insurance benefit. The value of this parameter changes every year. For 2020, it is set at RUB 5,686.25.

For each disabled family member who is financially dependent on him, the pensioner has the right to demand an increase in the payments due to him by 1895.42 rubles. This norm does not apply to those who worked in the Far North.

The payment may be increased in proportion to the number of dependents, provided that their number does not exceed 3 people.

The specified amount of additional payment is identical regardless of the subject of the Federation in whose territory the pensioner lives and cannot be changed by local government bodies. However, this amount is paid taking into account the coefficient established for this area.

For the detention of minors

A person has the right to claim compensatory payments if he is in his care:

• his own child under 18 years of age;
• his grandson or granddaughter who has lost his parents and has no other guardians.

For each dependent, the amount of the fixed payment to the insurance pension increases by one third.

For student dependent

Support payments from the state can be extended after the child or grandchild reaches the age of 23. The basis is that they have completed full-time studies at an accredited college or university.

The amount of additional benefit does not differ from the amount paid for minors.

Who gets paid extra for dependents?

According to Part 3 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ, not all pensioners are entitled to additional payment for children - the increase applies only to citizens receiving old-age and disability insurance pensions . The bonus is assigned if the pensioner is supported by disabled, that is, non-working family members. You can get an increase for:

• children, brothers, sisters and grandchildren under 18 years of age;
• for them, but up to 23 years of age, if they are full-time students.

Several pensioners can receive additional payment for the same dependent. For example, for a full-time student, an increase will be assigned to his two parents if they are pensioners.

• For recipients of social pensions (those who have not accumulated the required length of service or IPC), such an increase is not allowed. Their pension benefits are calculated differently and regulated by different legislation.
• Military pensioners (Ministry of Internal Affairs, Russian National Guard, Federal Penitentiary Service, FSB, Ministry of Emergency Situations and other departments) are also given bonuses for children. However, their size and payment procedure are regulated by another law - No. 4468-1 of February 12, 1993. According to Art. 17 of this law, the additional payment is defined as: 32% of the calculated pension for one dependent;
• 64% - for two;
• 100% - for three.

To whom is the additional payment made?

Pensioners who have a dependent under their care can apply for additional payment. For example, if retired spouses live together and have a dependent minor (a full-time student under 23 years of age), they can both receive an additional payment.

The following factors are not an obstacle to receiving a subsidy:

• both pensioners work;
• one pensioner works;
• one of the guardians is working, the second is retired.

Based on this, the right to receive additional payment arises after guardianship is officially formalized.

Citizen L. turned to the Moscow legal consultation office with a request for the help of a lawyer. In 2020, he and his wife took in their dependent grandson, whose parents died in a car accident. In 2020, the man retired and did not know whether he could apply for a dependent subsidy. The lawyer, having familiarized himself with the case, drew the pensioner’s attention to the fact that he needed to personally visit the Pension Fund of Russia and submit a package of documents to the specialist.

How to get a raise for disabled family members

The Pension Fund is responsible for assigning additional payments to pensions for minor children or student children. To do this, you must submit an application for recalculation of the pension amount and indicate the reason for the recalculation - the presence of disabled family members dependent on the pensioner. The following documents must be attached along with the application:

1. Confirming the relationship between the pensioner and the child (for example, a birth certificate);
2. Confirming the fact of dependency:
   certificate of family composition or cohabitation (from the housing department or local government);
3. certificates, checks or other documents confirming expenses for food, child accommodation, etc.;
4. certificates of income of family members;

This is important to know: Payments and benefits for large families

The fact of dependency can also be confirmed with the help of witness testimony (for example, other relatives, neighbors, etc. can confirm this). In case of a positive decision on the application, the increase in pension will be assigned from the first day of the next month. The bonus will be paid until the child turns 18 years old .

Supplement to pension for dependent student

If children are studying full-time , the payment can be extended until they reach 23 years of age . To do this, you will need to contact the Pension Fund again and confirm that the child continues to be supported by the pensioner. As a supporting document, you must submit a certificate from the educational institution containing the following information:

1. Full name of the student, date of birth;
2. Name of the educational institution, form of education and educational program;
3. Date and number of the enrollment order, duration of study;
4. Date of issue of the certificate, registration number, corner stamp of the institution, seal and signature of the head with a transcript.

However, if the child stopped full-time education (for example, was transferred to correspondence, expelled or drafted into the army), the pensioner must report this to the Pension Fund . If this is not done, then the Pension Fund will return all unjustifiably paid amounts in court. 2019-09-17

How to receive additional payment

To increase your monthly benefit, a pensioner needs to submit a corresponding application to the Pension Fund. The document must set out the grounds for calculating the surcharge. An integral part of the application is a package of documents, which must include:

• copies of the passport of the applying citizen and his dependent;
• certificate of family composition;
• an extract from the house register;
• confirmation of family ties (birth, adoption, guardianship or marriage certificate);
• papers confirming that the dependent has no other sources of income;
• a certificate from the educational institution (when the additional payment is issued to the student).

If the grounds for receiving additional payment have disappeared, you must notify the Pension Fund within 5 days. Otherwise, the pensioner faces a fine.

Former military personnel should apply to the pension department serving the department in which they served. The submitted package of documents is supplemented by a copy of the work book and a certificate stating that the person asking for the increase is not an individual entrepreneur.

Concepts of pension and pensioner

Pensioners are people who legally receive pension payments from the state or are entitled to receive them. The pension can be paid on the following grounds:

The retirement age is set for ordinary citizens at 55 years for women and 60 years for men, respectively. In connection with recent legislative changes, the retirement age is planned to be increased for male officials to 65 years old, for female officials to 63 years old.

Some professions, due to difficult physical working conditions, require earlier retirement.

Working pensioners include people who have reached retirement age but continue to officially work. In this case, the employer continues to make contributions for the working pensioner to the Pension Fund, Social Security and Tax authorities.

Based on the law, working pensioners can claim an additional payment to their pension if they have dependent children under 18 years of age or children studying full-time. The law also applies to children of disabled people who have reached the age of majority.

Dependency refers to the official full financial support of a child.

The following children may be dependent:

• relatives or adopted;
• younger brothers and sisters;
• grandchildren.

If all conditions are met, the pensioner has the right to receive additional payment.

Legislation

The possibility of receiving an additional payment to the insurance part of the pension is prescribed in Federal Law No. 400 “On Insurance Pensions”.

Additional payments for pensioners carrying out their labor activities in the police, criminal-executive punishment agencies are regulated by Federal Law No. 4468-1.

Eligible: students and dependent minors

All Russian citizens who receive an old-age or disability pension, as well as long service, have the right to receive additional payment. If they are dependent on:

• minor children;
• adult non-working children – students studying full-time;
• disabled children over 18 years of age.

And also with the mandatory official employment of a pensioner and official contributions from the employer to the Pension Fund, Social Security and Tax Inspectorate.

Features of accrual

The following categories of citizens have the right to receive benefits on an early basis:

1. workers of the Far North;
2. women with many children;
3. who receives payment from the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
4. military citizens.

Military pensioners

Additional assistance is determined based on the following factors:

1. for 1 child – 32% of the benefit received;
2. on two – 64%;
3. for three or more children – 100%.

For pensioners under the Ministry of Internal Affairs

The right to receive an additional payment in the amount of 32–100% depending on the presence of heirs.

To purchase, several conditions must be met:

1. the applicant is not employed;
2. a dependent becomes a minor or a full-time student.

Mothers of many children

Mothers with many children are paid an additional allowance based on the number of children. A woman retires if she has raised more than 4 children.

Accrual conditions

To accrue additional payments to the pension, a working pensioner must meet the conditions established by law. These include:

• the person must have the right to receive pension benefits or receive it;
• the pensioner must have an official place of work;
• The pensioner must be dependent on minor children, or disabled people, or adult children studying full-time.
• the citizen must submit all the necessary documents and submit an application to process the payment.

These are the basic conditions under which any Russian citizen has the right to apply for this additional payment.

How much is due - the amount of additional payments to the pension

The amount of additional payments when they are calculated will depend on several factors. The meaning is as follows:

• age of the pensioner;
• the region of Russia in which he lives;
• whether he has a disability and is given the appropriate status;
• number of dependents.

How much do they pay extra? The amount of additional payment for disabled people also depends on the group assigned to them. If a pensioner has a disability and has reached 80 years of age, then he can count on a payment in the amount of:

When pensioners reach 80 years of age and have official work, they are entitled to the following additional payments and benefits:

• if you have one child, 5970 rubles;
• with two 6832 rubles;
• with three children 7680 rubles.

If a pensioner has not reached such an advanced age as 80 years, then he has the right to receive an allowance:

• for one baby 3416 rubles;
• two 4270 rubles;
• for three 5124 rubles.

In all cases, when the child has become an adult and is studying full-time, the additional payment is reduced and amounts to 1,500 rubles.

This is due to the fact that teenagers at this age have the right to receive scholarships, and can also find part-time work for a few hours a day, if they want and need to earn money.

The calculation is carried out by the Pension Fund. In order to find out the amount of the surcharge in each specific case, you must contact the Pension Fund office at your place of residence and ask them to make a preliminary calculation.

Supplement for children born before 1990

The size of this increase depends on several features. The calculation is made based on the number of students. The federal and local allowance is formed when there are four children or more.

Payment for babies born before 1990 is calculated at the following rate:

1. for the first child – 1.8 points;
2. for the second – 3.6 points;
3. third and subsequent – ​​5.4 points.

For maternity leave of one and a half years the following is accrued:

1. for the first child – 2.7 points;
2. for the second – 5.4 points;
3. third and subsequent – ​​8.1 points.

Pension benefits increase in accordance with the number of children.
The current Federal Law states that if a citizen has given birth to more than 4 children, then she has the right to receive a maximum of 24 pension points. The bonus for such people directly depends on the mother’s salary. If she was employed at the time she cared for children, she has the right to request points for work activity or caring for minors.

The increase also depends on the total length of service.

Who is entitled to

This increase is given to all mothers who provide for 4 or more children. To receive a bonus for children born before this period, you should visit the branch of the Russian Pension Fund at the place of registration and submit an application in the established form.

List of documents for registration

1. birth certificate of all pupils;
2. documentation stating that the child is less than 1.5 years old;
3. a copy of the insurance certificate;
4. copy of passport data.

Payment of this type is accrued only after submitting a complete package of documents and personal appeal to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. A person has the right to perform an operation at any time. Remote submission of an application is allowed through the official portal of State Services and Russian Post.

Procedure for processing payments and allowances

The legislation establishes that additional payments to pensions are made by the Pension Fund and a certain procedure has been established. The algorithm of actions will be as follows:

This is important to know: Additional days off and vacation days for parents with many children according to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation 2020.

• collection of necessary documentation;

• obtaining a decision on the assignment of additional payments.

Thus, the first stage will be collecting documents.

The following will be mandatory:

Where to apply for pension benefits for working pensioners if they have children

Due to the fact that this additional payment is carried out by the Pension Fund, you must therefore contact the Pension Fund branch at your place of residence. You can submit documents in the following ways:

• personal visit to the Pension Fund;
• in person through the multifunctional center;
• through a representative with the issuance of a notarized power of attorney to represent interests in the Pension Fund of Russia;

When submitting documents via mail, you must have all copies of documents certified by a notary.

When registering using the government services website (https://www.gosuslugi.ru/), you must go through the following procedure:

1. Log in to your personal account; if you don’t have one, you need to register.
2. If passport data is not officially confirmed on the portal, it will not be possible to access this service.

Peculiarities of accrual for non-working mothers with many children

For mothers of many children, it is possible to receive an additional payment to their pension before reaching retirement age. The legislation defines the following conditions under which a mother of many children (as well as a father of many children) can make an additional payment in advance:

• her age must be over 50 years;
• work experience must be at least 15 years;
• presence of 5 or more children.

If all the established conditions are met, a mother of many children can apply for additional payment.

conclusions

Summing up, we can conclude that working pensioners really need state support, since having dependent children and fully supporting them costs money. But their health in this case may no longer allow them to work fully.

In connection with this, the state has established additional payments if there is at least one dependent child. The main conditions are reaching retirement age and mandatory employment.

Documents for pension recalculation: how to submit for a pensioner, where to apply

Survivor's pension

Registration of a survivor's pension: where and how to obtain documents

Registration of a disability insurance pension

Who is entitled to additional payment?

The right to recalculation taking into account non-insurance periods is given to parents who went on parental leave and retired before the end of 2014.

Previously, these periods affected length of service, but not pension provision. When recalculated, pension points will be awarded for them, but with a decrease in length of service for the duration of these vacations. Thus, the impact on the amount of payments will not necessarily be positive - sometimes it will be negative.

It should be noted that persons who became pensioners after the start of 2020 do not need to apply for recalculation - they have already calculated the option that is more profitable and are making payments based on it. Such treatment can only make sense if the woman retired before this rule was introduced. And that's not always the case.

Let us note that the additional payment is the same for children born during Soviet times - no difference is made from those born at a later time.

Let us also highlight categories that are not eligible for recalculation:

• Those who receive an early pension and are not working pensioners - when recalculated, they have every chance of losing the right to an early pension, since their length of service is being reduced. These usually include workers in the teaching and medical fields, as well as some others.
• Receiving fixed state pensions.
• Those receiving a survivor's pension - after all, the pension recipient's pension points will not affect its size, since it is paid for another person, that is, for the deceased breadwinner himself.

Basic concept of pension supplements

A pension supplement for a citizen who has reached retirement age is a certain amount of money that is reimbursed to the pensioner if certain conditions are met. In most cases, a pensioner's supplement is provided if he has minor children or disabled children as his dependents.

Important. The pension supplement for children born after and before 1990 is not an automatic additional payment to the monthly pension amount, but is calculated based on certain conditions.

Registration of additional payment

The registration process involves a standard sequence of actions:

• collect documents;
• contact the authorized body;
• write a statement;
• waiting for an answer.

Reference! Processing times depend on the method chosen for submitting documentation.

List of documents

To issue a payment in a fixed value, a citizen will need to collect the following package of documentation:

• an application drawn up according to the established template;
• acts confirming the fact of the birth of the baby;
• employment history;
• a certificate stating that the spouse does not receive social benefits and that the children are not recipients of a labor pension;
• a document indicating that the citizen has not been registered as an entrepreneur;
• a certificate reflecting the composition of the family;
• documentation received at the place of training;
• details of an account opened with a banking organization.

Also, employees of the pension authority may require the provision of a certificate indicating the absence of social assistance in relation to the ward person. It is worth pointing out that receiving a fixed allowance requires confirmation every year.

Renewal involves collecting the following documentation:

• a certificate indicating that the pensioner is not an individual entrepreneur;
• documents confirming the fact of dependency;
• certificates issued at the place of study.

The certificates are valid for 1 month.

Where to contact

There are three options for contact:

1. Pension Fund. This can be done in person by making an appointment in advance. It is also possible to submit an application on the official website.
2. Transfer of acts to the department of the multifunctional center. The period will be the same as for personal submission to the Pension Fund.
3. Access to the State Services portal. You should use the section entitled “Pension assignment”.

A citizen has the right to use any method.

It is also useful to read: Increase in pension for children born before 1990

Application processing time

There are no time limits for employees of the pension authority to submit an application. 5 days are allotted for consideration. Only working periods are taken into account.

Thus, an additional payment will be assigned provided that it does not worsen the citizen’s situation. From 2020, the determination is made automatically.

Basic conditions for receiving an allowance for minor children

A pension supplement is possible for both working and non-working pensioners. An important condition remains that the pensioner be a citizen of the Russian Federation. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation puts forward the basic requirements for receiving a pension supplement:

• The pensioner must retire no earlier than 01/01/2015;
• The pensioner retired after this date, but did not report his existing children to the Pension Fund.

According to the old procedure for calculating pensions, maternity leave was not included in a woman’s total length of service, but was subtracted from it. Today, pensioners can recalculate their length of service taking into account points for maternity leave; this will also be a certain bonus to their pension.

Key points in receiving a pension supplement for minor children.

• Those pensioners who retired after January 1, 2015 do not need to apply for recalculation, since the most profitable option has already been calculated for them and assigned for payment. Recalculation is due only if the woman has non-insurance periods that were not taken into account when assigning a pension before January 1, 2020, or taken into account according to the old rules, for which pension points are now awarded in accordance with the new law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ.
• There is no time limit for submitting an application for recalculation of women's pensions for children.
• The pension supplement for children obtained as a result of recalculation is individual and is not guaranteed for all pensioners, since replacing work experience with a period of child care will not always be beneficial.

This is important to know: Compensation for housing and communal services for large families

According to statistics, only in 20-30% of cases the amount of paid pension benefits can be increased, and the amount of the increase can range from several rubles to several hundred or, in some cases, can even exceed a thousand rubles.

Important. If the recalculation is obtained “with a minus sign,” then the current pension amount will not decrease (since the deterioration of pension provision is not allowed by current law), and the Pension Fund employees will make a decision on refusal.

Who benefits from recalculation?

Citizens who retired before 2020 have the right to compensation to pensioners for children born in the USSR, because until December 31, 2014, not all conditions were taken into account when assigning a pension, since the point-based pension system was introduced in January 2020. It is quite possible that it is more profitable for a citizen to count periods of caring for children up to 1.5 years old than the period of work.

Either experience or points – it’s up to you to decide!

Let me remind you that from 01/01/2015 points are awarded for periods of child care:

• for the first child - 1.8;

• for the second - 3.6;

• for the third and subsequent ones - 5.4.

As a result, it turns out that a mother with many children has a greater chance of increasing her pension. But if only it were that simple.

Converting maternity periods to points leads to an equivalent reduction in the insurance period.

This affects the size of the pension: both upward and downward.

And before you go to the Pension Fund and ask to accrue points for periods of childcare, calculate whether it is profitable. If converting experience into points is unprofitable, leave everything as is. If the increase is insignificant, then the pensioner must decide for himself whether to agree to the recalculation.

Pension compensation amount

The amount pensioners claim depends on the value of one pension point.

If in 2020 the cost of one point is 87.24 rubles, then the amount of compensation is determined as follows:

1. For one - 1.8 b. × 87.24 rub. × 1.5 years = 235.55 rubles.

2. For two - 3.6 b. × 87.24 rub. × 1.5 g = 471.10 rubles.

3. For three - 5.4 b. × 87.24 rub. × 1.5 g = 706.64 rubles.

When recalculating, periods of work corresponding to periods of child care will be excluded from the total insurance period. And if a citizen at that time combined work and care leave for up to 1.5 years, the recalculation is unprofitable.

An example of calculating a pension supplement for children

Let's look at an example of how a pension is recalculated for a woman with two children.

Marina Pavlovna Svetlaya retired in 2010 with 30 years of work experience. She has two children born in 1980 and 1990. Let's see if her pension increases.

When converting periods of caring for children up to 1.5 years into points, 3 years were subtracted from the experience. These periods yielded 3.6 pension points. One point costs 87.24 rubles in 2020. The total compensation will be 471.10 rubles.

If you do not take into account the deduction from the insurance period, then the increase is not bad. But in reality (with a deduction from length of service) the pension may become even less than it was.

Who is entitled to pension supplements for minor children?

According to Russian legislation, women of retirement age who have two or more children whose children were born after 1990 can receive a pension supplement. The earnings of these women were minimal and their work experience was not long. Also women who are dependent on minor children or children who are studying full-time. In order to receive a pension supplement, a woman must contact the pension fund of the Russian Federation at her place of registration with an application and a certain package of documents. This package of documents includes the following documents:

• Application for accrual of a pension supplement for minor children;
• A document confirming the presence of minor children;
• A copy of the work record book, certified by a notary;
• Certificates confirming the absence of allowances;

All bonuses and calculation of pensions are regulated by the legislation of the Russian Federation, therefore, in order to receive a bonus, a certain procedure must be followed.

By following this procedure and having all the necessary documents, the pensioner is required to provide a pension supplement.

The main category of citizens who are entitled to a pension supplement:

• Maintenance of minor children;
• If the child is a full-time student at an educational institution;
• Caring for a disabled child.

That is, if a woman who retired upon reaching retirement age and at the same time has minor children to support, she has every right to apply to the Pension Fund to receive an increase to the available amount of the pension payment.

Pensioners who are mothers of many children have the right to:

• early payment of pension;
• obtaining pensioner status upon reaching 50 years of age, provided that the total length of service as a citizen is 15 years or more.

Additional payment per student

So, for example, when calculating an additional payment for a dependent student, the amount of payment will also be determined by many additional circumstances. If a person provides support for a full-time student, then the amount of the fixed allowance for one child will be 1 thousand 607 rubles and 7 kopecks. Accordingly, in order to calculate the allowance for two dependent students, it is necessary to multiply the specified fixed amount by half.

Additional payment for minor children

Russian legislation provides for the receipt of a supplement to the basic pension for pensioners who retired upon reaching retirement age and do not have other benefits and who have minor children as their dependents.
