At a meeting between Russian President Vladimir Putin and members of the government, Maxim Topilin spoke about how lump sum payments to pensioners are going and what the indexation of pensions and social payments will be like in 2017.
“We reported to the president that all resources in order to ensure everything social payments, which are provided for in the budget, are. This concerns, first of all, the implementation of the May presidential decrees regarding wages for public sector employees. These are doctors, school teachers, lecturers preschool institutions, teaching staff, social workers, cultural workers,” he told reporters following the meeting.
The head of the Russian Ministry of Labor also said that in February, insurance pensions will be indexed according to actual inflation over the past year.
“From February 1, 2017, insurance pensions will be indexed in accordance with the inflation rate. Yesterday Rosstat published the consumer price index for the past 2016. This is 5.4%. From February 1, all insurance pensions will be indexed by 5.4%,” said Maxim Topilin.
Moreover, from April 1, 2017, the size of insurance pensions will once again be indexed by a small amount. As a result, in 2017, insurance pensions will increase by a total of 5.8%. Working pensioners will not have their pensions indexed.
In addition, Maxim Topilin announced the indexation of social benefits from February 1, 2017 by 5.4%. According to him, many will be indexed social benefits: monthly cash payments to disabled people, veterans, Chernobyl victims, benefits for the birth of children, child care, other types of social support.
Last year, due to budget problems, the government was forced to index pensions by only 4%, and not to the 2015 inflation rate of 12.9%. It was decided not to carry out the second indexation, but to replace it with a one-time payment of 5 thousand rubles. Pensioners will receive payments only in January 2017.
“We faced a difficult financial situation at the beginning of this year. And we were forced to decide to divide the indexation of pensions into two parts. At the beginning, pay part, and in the second half of the year. Taking into account the current situation, we paid the first part of the indexation in the form of interest, and the second part of the indexation, as you know and as our pensioners know, we decided to pay in the form of a lump sum payment in order not to create macroeconomic problems,” the Prime Minister previously explained. Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
According to the head of the Ministry of Labor, “yesterday (January 10), the Treasury transferred funds to the accounts of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, and the Pension Fund has already begun settlements with banks and Russian Post.”
“Already yesterday, on the first day of working with these funds, 4 million pensioners received 5 thousand rubles each. to their accounts in the banking system,” said Maxim Topilin.
According to the Russian Pension Fund, payments will be made from January 13 to January 28, 2017. “The postmen will deliver the payment along with the pension for January to recipients who have a date for delivering the pension to their home, from the 13th until the end of the payment period,” the Pension Fund of Russia said in a statement.
Pensioners who are scheduled to receive a pension from the 3rd to the 12th of the month will be paid from January 13 to January 28, 2017, also with home delivery. Such pensioners will be informed about the additional delivery date of the lump sum payment in January upon delivery of the pension for December 2016. For pensioners who receive their pension not through Russian Post, but through credit or other delivery organizations, the same terms for payment of 5 thousand rubles apply. - from January 13 to January 28.
The budget includes funds for both indexation and one-time payment. According to the law on the budget of the Russian Pension Fund for 2017, this year the fund’s expenses for pension provision Russians will increase by 327.3 billion and amount to 6.9 trillion rubles. Expenditures on social payments will increase by 262.3 billion and amount to 1.2 trillion rubles. The total volume of PFR budget expenditures will be 8.584 trillion rubles, which is 9.9% of Russia’s GDP. In terms of income, the PFR budget for 2017 was formed in the amount of 8.364 trillion rubles.
Pension issues today remain one of the important tasks of the population. Working people and others are showing interest in information about the increase in pensions in 2017 for old-age pensioners, and everyone is also interested in the latest news related to changes in legislation.
Some points are already clear, but there are additionally a lot of unanswered questions. As you know, governing government bodies have recently reassured citizens that the massive reduction in the pension sector will be cancelled.
It should also be noted that the indexation percentage has become somewhat lower than originally planned. As of today, there is no concrete answer as to how much the pension will increase this year. After all, as a rule, this issue has not yet been resolved.
Undoubtedly, we can take into account the authorities’ recent decision to cancel indexation in September and replace it with a five thousandth payment. This measure relieves the budget, but does not solve many existing problems. That is why the government is currently thinking about other stimulation measures.
I would also like to believe the recent news that Dmitry Medvedev has promised to index pensions in full. And he noted positive side, aimed at helping pensioners, that in such an unstable economic situation they cannot be left without attention. It is also planned to additionally index a number of other payments in February.
It is known that many working pensioners were deprived of this privilege. Since the beginning of February, indexation has been carried out slightly, that is, only by 4%. Although it is worth noting that economic growth does not stand still, but is gaining momentum in all directions, not in a positive direction for the people.
Payment details
In August 2016, the government decided to abolish the indexation of pensions and replace it with a lump sum payment. This decision was approved by the authorities, and now every pensioner has the right to use these funds for their needs.
This payment applies to every pensioner with the exception of citizens living outside of Russia. Moreover, it should be noted that such a payment does not require a specific application. The accrual will apply to absolutely every Russian pensioner. It doesn't matter whether he is military or civilian.
As you know, in 2015 the pension calculation system changed significantly. Now the charges depend on the insurance part, as well as the savings part. The first part is indexed annually. The funded benefit is available to citizens who were born after 1967.
Pensioners already know that the pension increase is planned by 2.6%, and it comes from the minimum subsistence level. The average pension will be 13,700 rubles. Indexation by 2.4% is planned in April. Military pensioners 2.5%, but not earlier than October.
It should also be noted that after the pensioner completes his labor activity recalculation of it pension accruals will be made taking into account past indexations. Working pensioners will receive an increase in pensions depending on how many contributions their employer has transferred to the pension fund.
Will benefits be increased for working people who are already retired?
The pension of a working citizen will be awarded points, as in the previous year. This procedure was fixed back in 2015 in January, that is, savings will be formed not in rubles, but in balls. It is almost impossible to predict anything in the long term, so even the authorities do not undertake to insist on this.
If we take military pensions into account, the situation is rather more complicated than, for example, with “civilian” accruals. Moreover, it is known that the projected increase in military accruals in 2016, which was planned at four percent, did not happen, but was postponed to 2017. As a result, the size of the increase from 4% was “reduced” to 2%, which is exactly what the law provides for.
Of course, every pensioner monitors outgoing “innovations” or cancellations regarding pension accruals. After all, the economy of all spheres of activity significantly affects everyone’s individual budget. Based on this, news, as well as changes in accruals, do not go unnoticed, especially by people retirement age. Moreover, today there are no exact answers to the questions raised by citizens.

who pays our government to destroy its people and, in particular, pensioners? After all, only a blind person does not see that the mass of the people are poor! and the government is fattening. Okay, we pensioners will survive somehow. what awaits our youth?
How do they still determine inflation?

My pension, that is, the allowance for a part-time worker was “increased” by 20 rubles. 74 kopecks, in the end it came out to 10,237.97 kopecks.

In general, I understand that the Lilliputians have increased our pensions, the Lilliputians’ way! I WILL NOT GO TO Vote anymore!

They are tenacious - they will endure anything. You would give deputies lower salaries and introduce a regressive scale. There will immediately be a surplus in the budget.
