When does it arrive on the Sberbank card?
If we are talking about Sberbank, then there are some nuances regarding obtaining pensions for disabled people. They are directly related to the age of the disabled person and the type of disability. In this case, the type of disability can be lifelong or confirmed (read in detail on our website about the types of disability a person has - and group 3 disability).
In the first situation, the procedure is no different from that established for ordinary pensioners. In this case, the day on which the pension payment was first received is used as a reference point.
If we are talking about comrades with a confirmed type of disability, then the payment day can move depending on the last time the loss of ability to work was confirmed. In case of confirmed disability, the following principles apply :
- Each year the date on which the payment is made may change.
- The date of accrual and receipt is set in accordance with the date when the disabled person passes the medical examination.
- The circulation of papers between the ITU and the Pension Fund on how successfully the loss of ability to work was confirmed may be delayed, and the date of issuance of the next pension may be important. there is no noticeable movement.
Because of a short delay, there is no need to immediately sound the alarm. This phenomenon is absolutely normal. Accruals are made monthly until the 15th.
Deadline for granting a disability pension
The disability insurance pension is assigned for the period during which the citizen is recognized as disabled. But in any case, this period cannot exceed either the day of assignment of the old-age insurance pension, or the day of reaching the age of 60.5 years (men) or 55.5 years (women) in 2020. In this case, the citizen must have a minimum insurance period (at least 11 years) and an individual pension coefficient of no less than that established for the year the pension was assigned (in 2020, the minimum individual pension coefficient is 18.6).
If a citizen has an insurance period less than that established for the year he was assigned a disability pension or the value of his individual pension coefficient is less than the value established for the year of his retirement, then he will be assigned a social old-age pension
.
A disability insurance pension can be assigned earlier than the day of application, namely, from the day the citizen is recognized as disabled, if he applied for the specified pension no later than 12 months from the date he was recognized as disabled.
What to do if deadlines are missed?
If the money was not delivered on time, the first thing a disabled person should do is urgently contact a bank or Pension Fund branch for clarification. In any case, employees of the organization must explain to the disabled person why the payment was delayed, and how long it should be expected.
If everything goes well, then with a high degree of probability the delay will be eliminated within a few days and the person who has lost the ability to work will not have to resort to extreme measures and write various important messages. appearance to higher authorities.
It is worth noting that this happens quite rarely; as a rule, all difficulties of this nature are eliminated promptly and at the level of a pension fund or organization involved in paying pension benefits to a limited person.
Deadline for granting a survivor's pension
The survivor's insurance pension is assigned for the period during which the citizen is disabled. The specified pension can be assigned, including for an indefinite period.
An insurance pension for the loss of a breadwinner is assigned from the date of death of the breadwinner, if the application for this pension occurred within 12 months from the date of his death.
If the application for a pension occurred later (that is, the period of 12 months was exceeded), then the pension is assigned 12 months earlier than the day on which the application for the specified pension occurred.
What is the maximum period for consideration of an application for a pension?
Thanks for the detailed answer. I have been contacting the Pension Fund almost weekly for the last month: the latest response is about the lack of workers, etc. There was no mention of a lack of documents. I would like to know the next point of appeal. Thank you.
You can submit a complaint to the prosecutor's office in writing or orally at the prosecutor's appointment. You must attach documents that confirm your pension and explain in detail what the violation of your rights is. + The prosecutor's office, having received your appeal, will begin an investigation, request the necessary documents from the Pension Fund and give you an answer. The advantage of contacting the prosecutor's office is that if the prosecutor's office determines that your rights have indeed been violated, they may even go to court on your behalf. You can also go to court with a corresponding statement of claim. To do this, you will need to thoroughly understand the procedure for calculating pensions. In our opinion, it is advisable to go to court if the prosecutor’s office, after checking your complaint, has not established any violations.
What is the procedure for considering an application for a pension?

However, with the traditional procedure for assigning benefits, when applying personally to the body providing pensions, a citizen needs to take into account the following points:
- passport;

- work book;
- documents certifying the existence of insurance experience for the assignment of a pension;
