What additional payments are due to pensioners with a minimum pension? Rules for receiving additional payments to pensions in the Moscow region. Amount of supplement to pension provision

29.06.2020

All non-working pensioners whose total amount of material support does not reach the pensioner’s subsistence level (PLS) in the region of his residence are provided with a federal or regional social supplement to their pension up to the PMS amount established in the region of residence of the pensioner.

The federal social supplement is paid by the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and is established if the total amount of cash payments to a non-working pensioner does not reach the pensioner’s subsistence level established in the region of residence, which, in turn, does not reach the pensioner’s subsistence level as a whole. Russian Federation.

Regional social supplement is paid by the authorities social protection region in the event that the cost of living of a pensioner in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation is higher than the same indicator in the Russian Federation, and the total amount of cash payments to a non-working pensioner is lower than the regional PMP.

When calculating the total amount of material support for a non-working pensioner, the amounts of the following cash payments are taken into account:

pensions, including in the event of a pensioner’s refusal to receive said pensions;
urgent pension payment;
additional material (social) support;
monthly cash payment (including the cost of a set of social services);
other measures social support established by the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in monetary terms (with the exception of social support measures provided at a time).

In addition, when calculating the total amount of material support for a pensioner, the cash equivalents of the social support measures provided to him for paying for the use of a telephone, residential premises and utilities, travel on all types of passenger transport, as well as monetary compensation for the costs of paying for these services are taken into account.

New procedure for providing social supplements to pensions

On April 1, 2019, the Federal Law “On Amendments to Article 12.1 of the Federal Law “On State social assistance"and Article 4 of the Federal Law "On the subsistence level in the Russian Federation", according to which, from January 1, 2019, the rules for determining the amount of the social supplement to the pension to the level of the pensioner's subsistence level have been changed.

The new mechanism for calculating the amount of social supplement to pension provides for:

1. First, the size of the social supplement to the pension is determined based on the size of the pension and the monthly cash payment (MCV), without taking into account the indexation of pensions and MCF;

2. then the established amount of the social supplement to the pension is summed up with the pension and the daily allowance, taking into account the indexation of the current year.

Example

The pensioner was assigned a pension of 7,100 rubles. The subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the region is set higher than the assigned pension and amounts to 8,400 rubles, therefore, in addition to the pension, a social supplement is assigned to the pensioner’s subsistence level in the amount of 1,300 rubles.

As a result of indexation, from January 1, 2019, the pension was increased by 7.05%, or by 500 rubles, and amounted to 7,600 rubles.

According to the new rules, the amount of social supplement to pension does not change.

The total income of a pensioner is:

7,600 rubles (pension) + 1,300 rubles (social supplement) = 8,900 rubles. The total income of a pensioner exceeds the cost of living in the region by the amount of pension indexation - 500 rubles.

Who is eligible for a pension increase in 2019

An increase in pension as a result of the changes that have entered into force is due to non-working recipients of any type of insurance pension or pension. state provision, for which, as of December 31, 2018, a federal or regional social supplement was established. The amount of social supplement for each pensioner was recalculated without application. This means that pensioners do not need to apply to the Pension Fund.

Welcome to website. In this article we will talk about additional payments to pensions for children. In July 2017, the pension fund in the regions began to provide explanations for changes in the law, which brought a lot of talk regarding whether there would be an addition to the pension for children.

Many people thought that if a woman is retired, then she has the right to come with an application to the territorial department of the pension fund and receive a pension supplement if the children were born before 1990. And the size of such an allowance could exceed several hundred rubles for each child.

Most of the women who applied independently to the pension fund actually received this bonus, which caused a lot of conversation among other mothers of pensioners. As a result, long queues began to form at pension funds, and employees had to give public and detailed explanations to pensioners.

It is worth knowing that now we are not talking about independent payment. Additional payment to the pension for children is made using recalculation. In accordance with changes in the law in 2015 labor pension began to pay according to new rules, as when reaching retirement age, and on disability. And now the size of the pension is influenced not only by periods of work, but also by non-insurance periods, that is, caring for a child until he reaches the age of 1.5 years.

There are several important points you need to know regarding this allowance:

Those pensioners who began receiving pensions after the beginning of 2015 do not need to apply for recalculation, since the advantageous accrual option is done automatically. Recalculation is carried out only if, when assigning a woman’s pension, periods considered non-insurance were not taken into account, or they were taken into account according to the old rules, for which points are now accrued.
The time limit for writing an application is not limited, that is, a woman can come with an application to the pension fund at any time; documents are submitted not only in person, but also with the help of multifunctional centers (MFC) or when submitting documents through the government services portal (gosuslugi.ru ).
The bonus that will be after recalculation is individual, and it is not guaranteed to all pensioners, since the replacement length of service for non-insurance periods is not always profitable. According to statistics, only 30% of women who apply receive an increase in pension, and the amount of the increase can be from several hundred rubles to several thousand.
If during the recalculation the pension amount is reduced, then in fact this will not happen, since PF employees will simply refuse the recalculation.

Which pensioner will receive a pension supplement for children?

It is worth knowing that the year of birth of children does not play a special role in this case, that is, they can be born before 1990, and at any time after this date.

The opinion that an increase in pensions for children is given only at their birth before 1990 was created by the fact that when changes were introduced in 2015, a serious increase was given to those pensioners who not only have adult children, but also the so-called “Soviet” experience. It does not particularly affect the size of the pension, but it provides the most favorable conditions for converting this length of service into pension points.

This recalculation is carried out for these pensioners first. As a rule, such mothers reached retirement age and retired before 2015, and they already have an honorable age, that is, more than 70 years.

But this does not mean that if a woman had children after the collapse of the USSR, then she loses the right to recalculation. Most often, such a recalculation becomes simply unprofitable for a pensioner for other reasons. That is, if a woman’s experience began to form according to new Russian laws, after the collapse of the USSR.

It is worth knowing that those periods during which a woman cared for children do not automatically increase the size of the pension. Since those working periods that were taken into account make the greatest contribution to the pension amount than replacing them with a 1.5 year non-insurance period. At the moment, there are many options when replacing the length of service with a non-insurance period is beneficial or, on the contrary, unprofitable.

Options when replacing length of service with a non-insurance period is beneficial:

If a woman has two children whom she cared for until they were 1.5 years old.
When several children are born at the same time. For example, twins or triplets.
If at the time of caring for children the woman was not in an employment relationship or was studying.
If retirement occurred with a minimum length of service.
If the minimum wage was taken into account when calculating the mother’s pension, that is, lower than in the country.
If, taking into account all the circumstances, the accrued pension is below the subsistence level, then there is a minimum pension.

Options when replacing length of service with non-insurance periods is unprofitable:

If a pensioner has only one child.
If a woman has a long work history, which also involves caring for children.
If the pension calculation took into account high wage. But wages, which exceeded 20% in the country until 2002, were not taken into account in the calculation, in other words, the income ratio for that period did not exceed 1.2, but this was enough so that recalculation for children did not provide additional payments to pension payments.

The law does not specify exactly who is entitled to an additional payment to the pension for children. As a result, it turns out that pension recalculation can be made for those women who have two or more children, and also takes into account for calculating the pension minimum experience and low wages.

Recalculation is not made to those women whose pension was assigned on preferential terms. These women include recipients of early pensions who have not reached retirement age. In this case, when replacing the length of service with a non-insurance period, the woman may lose the right to receive an early pension.

Calculation of points given for each child

In accordance with changes in pension legislation, the main indicator that affects the size of the pension is pension points. They are recorded in the personal account of each pensioner in the pension fund. Such points are reflected not in rubles, as was previously the case, but in relative units, that is, the amount of pension rights to receive a labor pension.

Pension points are generated on a personal account in two ways:

With the help of insurance premiums paid by the employer. In 2020, the employer pays 22% of the employee’s total salary, 6% of this amount is allocated to the formation of a fixed fee, and 16% goes to a personal account in the form of pension points.
When taking into account non-insurance periods, that is, if the pensioner does not work and insurance premiums are not deducted for him, then the state is responsible for the formation of the pension. These periods also include conscript military service for men, and caring for children under 1.5 years of age.

It is worth knowing that today parental leave is 3 years, but during the non-insurance period, which is taken into account, only half of this leave is spent. It is during this same period that a woman receives benefits for up to 1.5 years. Although this is unfair, due to the fact that children go to kindergarten when they reach three years old, and the woman is not able to go to work earlier and begin to provide for herself and the child.

At the time the pension is assigned, all points that are on the personal account and those that were accrued for non-insurance periods are multiplied by the legally established amount. In 2020, one point costs 93 rubles.

In accordance with the new law, the pension takes into account not only working periods, but also those when the woman was in maternity leave, but not more than 6 years in total. In other words, only 4 children are counted towards the pension. But it is worth knowing that the amount of points that will be awarded at the time of maternity leave will be different, depending on the order and year of birth of the child.

For one point in 2020 you get 93 rubles.

For care for one child with 1 year of care they give 1.8 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 2.7 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 235 rubles.
For caring for a second child with 1 year of care they give 3.6 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 5.4 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 471 rubles.
When caring for a third child, with 1 year of care they give 5.4 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 8.1 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 706 rubles.
When caring for a fourth child, with 1 year of care they give 5.4 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 8.1 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 706 rubles.

It is worth knowing that the maximum increase will be given only to those pensioners who were not in an employment relationship at the time of maternity leave, and this period was not taken into account when assigning a pension payment earlier.

Also, the maximum that was granted may be reduced in the following cases:

Exclusion from the calculation of non-insurance periods that were taken into account according to the old rules, since when the pension for children is recalculated, the length of service is replaced by a non-insurance period. That is, the salary that was taken into account when assigning a pension is replaced by points, and such a replacement is not always profitable.
A general reduction in working periods for a pensioner when a replacement is made.

It is worth remembering that an accurate recalculation of women’s pensions for children can only be made by a pension fund employee. It is carried out only on an individual basis, and the size of the increase with the same number of children will be different for all pensioners, since the formation of pension rights also occurs individually.

If at the time of recalculation, the result becomes negative, then carrying out this recalculation becomes unprofitable and PF employees will refuse the pensioner, since the amount of the pension will be reduced.

Example of surcharge calculation

The woman began receiving old-age pension payments in 2012. As of January 1, 2002, when the formation of a pension in the country began through the payment of insurance contributions, its total work experience was 26 years, and the ratio of maximum earnings was 1.2.

A woman came to the pension fund to recalculate the pension for children born before 1990 during her work in 1979 and 1988. At the time of replacing the already recorded periods of work with two non-insurance periods, that is, caring for children until they reach 1.5 years of age, 3 years were removed from the total work experience.

As a result, there was a decrease in the length of service coefficient and the amount of valorization, that is, the revaluation of pension rights for the period before 1991. And the points that were awarded to her instead of this period were: 1.5 years * (1.8 + 3.6) = 8.1 points, in other words 660.07 rubles.

Since the recalculation led to a decrease in the size of the pension she received, the PF fund employees refused, and the increase in pension for 2 children was not awarded. And a woman who raised 3 children in the same situation may receive an increase of 150 rubles.

Registration of an increase in pension for children

The pensioner has the right to submit an application and that’s it Required documents, on the basis of which a supplement to the pension for children will be made at any time convenient for it, the terms of application in this case are not limited.

If the decision made, after reviewing the documents, is positive, that is, as a result of recalculation, the pension amount will be increased, then the payment of the pension, taking into account the bonus, will be made from the first day of the next month. But additional payments to the pension for children for past periods, that is, those that were missed after changes in the law came into force on January 1, 2015, will not be paid.

Submitting documents and applications can be done in one of several convenient ways:

By personal contact to the territorial department of the pension fund. But due to the fact that there may be a large queue of visitors to see specialists, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance. An entry is made on the official portal of the pension fund; registration is not required.
By submitting documents through multifunctional centers, that is, MFC. This service for accepting documents and applications for pension recalculation can be provided at the territorial office of the MFC. This requires working interdepartmental interaction between the pension fund and the multifunctional center itself. Today, this service is provided at MFCs in all major cities of the country.
Using the Internet and the state service portal (gosuslugi.ru). In this case, the application and all necessary documents are submitted via the Internet at in electronic format on the official portal of government services. But to submit documents, you must have a confirmed account in the unified identification and authentication system, in other words, the Unified Identification and Authentication System. After submitting an electronic application through the state portal, the pensioner is obliged to bring all the documents necessary for recalculation to the branch of the pension fund to which the application was submitted within 5 working days. If documents are not provided within this time, the application will not be considered and will need to be submitted again.
Registered letter via Russian Post. When using this method, the pensioner will have to independently fill out an application for recalculation, which is provided in the form approved by law. A sample of filling out this application is located on the official portal of the pension fund. But all original documents on the basis of which recalculation and additional payment of pensions for children will be made to pensioners are not sent by registered mail. You must send pre-made photocopies of all documents and have them certified by a notary. It is worth knowing that certification of documents by a notary is a paid service.

Documents that will be needed to complete the surcharge

Pensions for children born before 1990 and after this date will be recalculated only for those pensioners who cared for children before they reached the age of 1.5 years and retired before 2015. Recipients of insurance pensions and disability pensions have the right to apply for recalculation.

The recalculation takes place directly on the basis of an application written by the pensioner, which is submitted to the territorial branch of the pension fund that makes the payment. pension accruals. Since it is in this pension fund that the pensioner’s pension file is located, on the basis of which the pension itself will be recalculated and accrued additional payment for children born.

Since there is a regular declarative recalculation of pension payments, you need to write a regular standard statement, which is approved at the legislative level, in particular by Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2016 No. 14n. this statement is indicated in the second appendix to the administrative regulations on the provision of public services when assigning a pension.

In addition to the completed application, you must attach documents that are in the personal custody of the pensioner, these are:

A pensioner's identification document is usually a passport.
Certificate of compulsory pension insurance, in other words SNILS.

In accordance with the Law “On Insurance Pensions”, Article 23, paragraph 2, an application for recalculation of pension payments is accepted directly, subject to the provision by the pensioner of all documents required for its implementation.

To begin with, confirmation of the presence of non-insurance periods for a given pensioner occurs on the basis of those documents that are stored in the pension file, stored in the department of the pension fund, as well as on the basis of the personalized accounting information that is at the disposal of the pension fund employees at that time.

But if the information about non-insurance periods, that is, maternity leave until the child reaches 1.5 years of age, is incomplete or absent altogether, then in order to recalculate it, the pensioner needs to confirm it independently by providing an additional package of documents for this:

Birth certificates for each child who was cared for; if they are missing, you can order a birth certificate for children at the registry office.
Documents that will confirm that the children are one and a half years old. Such a document can be any document that was issued to the child by government authorities at a later age, that is, you can provide the child’s passport, school completion certificate, diploma from a higher educational institution, military ID or any other document.

If a pensioner submits a birth certificate for children, and it contains a stamp indicating that the child received a Russian passport after he reached the age of 14, then there will be no need to provide another supporting document, since this mark will be sufficient for the pension fund employees. And on the basis of these documents, a recalculation will be made and, if the decision is positive, an increase in the pension for children will be assigned to pensioners.

On this page we will discuss in detail:

1. How pension indexation will occur in Moscow in January, April and August 2020;

2. What is the cost of living and the urban social standard in the capital;

3. What, accordingly, will be the amount of the minimum pension for different categories of Muscovites;

4. What minimum wage will residents of the Moscow region receive?

How pension indexation will take place in Moscow in 2020

In general, the annual process of increasing pensions in Moscow occurs in the same way as throughout Russia - in three stages.

1 From January 1, the old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners will be increased. The press service of the Ministry of Labor reports that the increase will be 6.6%. The size of the pension point will increase to 93 rubles (currently it costs 87 rubles 24 kopecks). Details

Let us note that the growth of pensions will be almost twice the official inflation rate in 2019, which is currently predicted by the Central Bank at 3.2 - 3.7%. Why are we focusing your attention on this? Yes, because previously pensions were increased at the rate of inflation. And now, on Putin’s instructions, they are trying to adjust it in such a way that payments increase by an average of 1,000 rubles. To find out how much your pension will increase from January 1, 2020, you need to multiply its current size by 0.066 (6.6%).

2 In the spring, it is planned to increase state pensions, including social ones. From April 1, 2020 they will increase by 7%. As a result, the average social pension will increase from 9.7 to 10.3 thousand rubles. You can find out more about social pensions

3 In August 2020, insurance pensions will increase for Muscovite retirees who worked in 2019. The maximum increase will be the same as before – the cash equivalent of three pension points.

Now let us recall the two types of minimum pension in Moscow.

Minimum pension in Moscow in 2020

The minimum income level for a pensioner in the capital, as already mentioned, is of two types:

1. for those who have been registered in Moscow for less than 10 years, this is the size of the Pensioner’s Subsistence Minimum (PMP).
2. for those who have been registered in the capital for more than 10 years - this is the value of the City Social Standard (CSS).

Let's start with the first number.

Supplement to pension up to the Subsistence Minimum

As is known, older people in Russia cannot receive a pension below the average annual Pensioner’s Subsistence Minimum (PMP) in their territory of residence. If the accrued pension is less than this level, then the Regional Social Supplement (RSD) to the pension is additionally paid from the budget. Thus, the pensioner’s income is raised to the value of the PMP.

Let us remind you, by the way, that the rules for providing this very social supplement have changed significantly in 2019. Now the process takes place in 3 stages.

1. First, the size of the increase, which is obtained through indexation, is calculated.
2. Then the pension is increased by a social supplement to the subsistence level (PL).
3. And then the indexation amount is added to the PMP.

For the same reason, it is now difficult to talk about the exact amount of the minimum pension in a particular city. It is slightly higher than the cost of living, but it’s different for everyone – by the indexation amount. However, in this publication we will assume that the minimum pension is conditionally equal to the living wage of a pensioner in his region.

In 2019, the cost of living for a pensioner in the city of Moscow was set at 12,115 rubles. This means that we can assume that the minimum pension in 2019 in Moscow, taking into account the Regional Social Supplement, was 12,115 rubles.

For 2020, the Pensioner's Living Minimum in Moscow was decided to increase by 3.7% or 463 rubles. The decision on this has already been made by deputies of the Moscow Duma.

In 2020, the cost of living for a Moscow pensioner is set at 12,578 rubles. Accordingly, this figure can be conditionally considered minimum pension at MSC this year.

But this “minimum wage” is established for those pensioners - Muscovites who have been registered at their place of stay / place of residence in Moscow for a total of less than 10 years.

For Moscow old-timers, a different minimum pension applies. It is adjusted to the City Social Standard of Minimum Income.

Supplement to pension up to the amount of the City Social Standard

First, let's quickly clarify...

What is the City Social Standard in Moscow?

The City Social Standard is the minimum monthly income of a pensioner who has been registered in Moscow for at least 10 years. It was introduced by the Decree of the Moscow Government of November 1, 2011. If the pension of a Muscovite with 10 years of experience is less than the GSS, then he is awarded a special payment from the budget up to the amount of the GSS.

That is, this is approximately the same as the Living Minimum for pensioners registered in the capital for less than 10 years. Only he is taller!

Who is entitled to additional payment?

An additional payment to the pension up to the value of the City Social Standard (GSS) is established for non-working pensioners and certain categories of working pensioners and disabled people registered at their place of residence in Moscow and having a duration of such registration of at least 10 years in total (including the time of residence in the territory annexed to Moscow) .

In 2019, the size of the City Social Standard was 17,500 rubles. Accordingly, the minimum pension was the same for those who lived in the capital for more than 10 years.

It could be assumed that this value would be increased by January 2020, but Mayor Sobyanin decided not to wait until the New Year.

Already from September 1, 2019, the size of the State Social Insurance Fund was increased to 19,500 rubles. Thus, the minimum pension for non-working pensioners with more than 10 years of living experience in Moscow is now 19,500 rubles.

Once again, from January 2020, it will no longer be raised, which means the minimum wage for old-time Muscovites will remain at the level of 19,500 rubles.

What about working pensioners?

If non-working pensioners who have lived in Moscow for more than 10 years can apply for regional social supplement towards pension up to 19,559 rubles. Then their working neighbors, who have had Moscow registration for more than 10 years, receive monthly compensation payment towards retirement. As you can see, the name of the additional payment/payment is different, but the meaning remains virtually unchanged. All the same, both non-working and working people adjust their pension benefits to the level of the City Social Standard in the amount of 19,500 rubles.

True, there are a number of restrictions for working pensioners. For example, to receive these payments, the average salary over the last six months must not exceed 20 thousand rubles, etc.

Monthly city cash payment in Moscow

Muscovites have many different social payments for different categories of citizens: war veterans, disabled people, families with children, etc. But there is one that, in our opinion, also needs to be mentioned in this publication. Although it is not directly related to the size of the minimum pension. This is the City Monthly Cash Payment(EDGV).

It can be received by some citizens of pre-retirement age and old-age pensioners living in Moscow who do not receive payments as federal beneficiaries.

Including:

*) The size indicated is in 2019.

Let's pay attention to Labor Veterans, because there are quite a lot of them throughout the country. So, Moscow Labor Veterans have the right to an additional 1,000 rubles per month. But under one condition: their cash income for 12 months must not exceed 1 million 800 thousand rubles.

Minimum pension in the Moscow region in 2020

Elderly people in Russia, as mentioned above, cannot receive a pension below the average annual subsistence level for a pensioner in their territory of residence.

For example, in 2016, the cost of living for a pensioner in the Moscow region was set at 8,950 rubles. As usual, it was increased by some amount every year. For clarity, we even reduced its dimensions to different years to the table:

Change in the cost of living of a pensioner in the Moscow Region

2017	2018	2019

It would be logical to expect that in 2020 its size will also grow at least a little. But it was not there.

The cost of living for a pensioner in the Moscow region for 2020 was again set at 9,908 rubles. This is what the deputies of the Moscow Regional Duma decided (Law of the Moscow Region dated September 26, 2019 N 173/2019-OZ).

As a result, the level of subsistence level for a pensioner in the territory of the Moscow Region, and, accordingly, the conditional amount of the minimum pension in the Moscow region for 2020 is equal to 9 thousand 908 rubles.

What about in other cities?

The living wage of a pensioner, which allows you to roughly determine minimum size pensions are established annually in each region of Russia. Moscow and the Moscow Region have already been discussed above, but here, for example, is its size in some other constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

Women with one or more children (including adults born in Soviet time before the 1990s or later) and those retired due to old age until January 1, 2015, can receive an increase by taking into account, in the form of pension points, the so-called “non-insurance periods” in which they cared for each child until he reached the age of 1.5 years.

Until 2015 these periods were taken into account only in work experience women did not influence the size of the established pension provision.
Now, according to the new law “About insurance pensions” dated December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ, they can be taken into account in the form of pension points, on the basis of which the size of the pension is directly determined (however, the woman’s work experience will be reduced for the corresponding periods, which may have a negative impact on the pensioner’s already registered pension rights).

To receive a pension supplement for children in 2019, you must contact the Pension Fund (PFR) authorities at your place of residence with a corresponding application for recalculation or assignment new pension in connection with the replacement of periods, on the basis of which the amount of payments can be revised due to the inclusion of non-insurance periods in points. Moreover, this is not always possible to do - often, in order to obtain the right to take into account pension points for periods of child care, it is necessary to completely refuse a previously assigned pension with an application for the appointment of a new one, in which the option of such a replacement will be taken into account, which may entail significant changes in pension rights. In this case, when recalculating points, the length of service (including preferential service, which gives the right to ) will be reduced.

In this regard, the pensioner must approach this issue responsibly - in case of refusal, it will be impossible to return to the previous payment conditions!

It is also necessary to keep in mind that the size of the possible increase for children will be strictly individual, and to determine it, PFR specialists will need to raise the payment case and again carry out extensive work on. There is also no guarantee that the result will be more than the amount that the pensioner is currently receiving.

According to statistics, only 20-30% of the total number of women who applied receive an increase in their pension as a result of such recalculation or reassignment, and its average amount in most cases does not exceed several hundred rubles.

Who is entitled to recalculate pensions for children?

For mothers who have retired since 2015, both of these options (count the time spent caring for children as work or calculate it with points as a “non-insurance period”) were already calculated by the Pension Fund employees at the time, and the most profitable method according to the new law has already been assigned to them for payment. Therefore, contact the Pension Fund with an application to recalculate payments taking into account childcare time for such pensioners doesn't make sense.

Only those pensioners whose pension is was appointed before January 1, 2015 and to whom will be more profitable accrue pension points for periods of caring for children before they reach the age of 1.5 years, which is usually true in the following cases:

if during these periods a woman there were breaks in work- in other words, if she was not employed at all at the time of the child’s birth and until he was one and a half years old (for example, if the addition to the family coincided with the woman’s studies at a college, technical school or university);
if a woman was employed at the time of birth and caring for the child, but replacing the period of work with a “non-insurance period” (for which pension points are now calculated) will be more beneficial for her, which in practice is often common in such situations:
- if a woman has 2 or more children- in other words, the more children were born, the more points can be awarded for them and the more significant the addition to the already assigned pension can be (however, according to the law, points can only be awarded for no more than 4 children);
- if, when assigning a pension, the pensioner’s taken into account salary in the period before 2002, which included caring for a child under 1.5 years of age, did not exceed the national average salary or did not exceed it by more than 20% (the maximum taken into account earnings ratio in force before January 1, 2002 year law " About state pensions in the Russian Federation" was set at 1.2) - in other words, if a woman at the time of the birth of the child had a low salary at the place of employment.

As a rule, due to all the above circumstances, a woman’s pension in most cases is until January 1, 2015 was prescribed in a low amount(in practice, this is usually no more - in most regions it is 10-11 thousand rubles as of 2017). If such circumstances occur, and the pensioner has several adult children, then recalculating her pension may be beneficial to her. When points take into account non-insurance periods for child care, she may be given an increase.

If a woman has all the grounds for revising the amount of her pension, but the results of the recalculation still turn out to be “minus”, then the Pension Fund employees will make a decision decision to refuse, and the amount of payments will not change downwards.

In addition, it must be borne in mind that there are certain categories of pensioners for whom such a recalculation not allowed at all according to legal norms:

recipients of early pensions who at the time of her appointment have not achieved and are no longer working (that is, do not belong to the category) - in this case, as a result of replacing their work experience, they may lose the right to early retirement due to shrinking preferential length of service(this is particularly true for medical workers, teachers and other preferential categories);
recipients of state pensions installed in fixed size(including for living in areas affected by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant);
recipients of survivor's insurance pension(situations where the insured person himself has died or gone missing, and the pensioner is his dependent disabled member family, the fact of caring for children does not in any way affect the pension points of the deceased person, from which the amount of the payment was calculated).

How much will the pension increase be for pensioners with children?

The amount of additional payment to the pension for children born depends on large quantity individual factors. Even if two pensioners of the same age have the same number of children, in each specific case the amount of the increase will be different, since the place of work, length of service, salary and the moment of birth of children is determined individually for everyone.

Such a recalculation will definitely be beneficial to women who, at the time of birth and during the first 1.5 years of the child’s life didn't work(for example, received education). In this case, they simply add a new, previously unaccounted period for which pension points will be assigned.
If the period of child care falls during employment mother, then it can be credited to her only in one of two forms, the most advantageous in each specific case (either in the form of length of service and the salary received during this period, or according to the new rules - insurance points). In this case, an important role will be played by the amount of earnings a woman received during the “non-insurance period”, as well as how much her work experience will be reduced as a result of such a replacement.

According to Art. 12 laws “About insurance pensions” from January 1, 2015, along with periods of work, periods of implementation are counted in the insurance period one of the parents care for each child until he reaches 1.5 years of age, but no more than 6 years in total(i.e. no more than 6 years / 1.5 years = 4 children).

At the same time, according to clause 12 of Art. 15 of the same law, for periods of caring for children up to one and a half years from 2015, the following number of pension points can be accrued (see the table below and an example of calculation).

Table - Recalculation of pensions for women for children in 2019

For example, an increase in pension for 2 children for pensioners in 2019 for periods of caring for them before reaching 1.5 years would be equal to 2.7 + 5.4 = 8.1 points. from January 1, 2019, it was set at 87.24 rubles. In other words, the amount of additional payment to a pensioner may amount to up to 8.1 × 87.24 rub. = 706.64 rub. per month. Similarly, the maximum additional payment for 4 children can be up to (2.7 + 5.4 + 8.1 + 8.1) × 87.24 = 2119.93 rubles.

However, in practice, the amount of the increase during recalculation in most cases turns out to be much less. The fact is that if a woman worked during the indicated periods, as a result of such a replacement the amount of the already assigned pension will be reduced in proportion to the amount of earnings received during this period. In this regard, for example, for the first child the result of recalculation may even turn out to be negative, since it provides for the smallest number of pension points, and such a replacement will not be economically profitable (especially if the mother worked in a good position and received a high salary).

In other words, sometimes periods of work give a higher increase in pension than 1.5 years of child care, so replacing these periods when recalculating the pension may turn out to be “minus” and will lead to a reduction in the pension amount.

According to the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of Russia, according to statistics only in 20-30% of cases of the total number of requests female may receive additional payment when recalculating pensions for children, while the average increase is within 100-200 rubles(although in some cases you can get a more impressive amount, so it’s advisable to try).

What documents are needed to recalculate mothers' pensions?

Recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension in connection with an increase in the amount of pension points (value - IPC) for periods before January 1, 2015 is carried out in accordance with clause 2 of Art. 18 of the law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ. It is carried out in a declarative manner - i.e. the pensioner will need to send it to the Pension Fund application for recalculation of pension amount(the application form was approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor dated January 19, 2016 No. 14n), which, according to clause 2 of Art. 23 of the same law is submitted with the simultaneous provision of documents necessary for such recalculation.

It is also necessary to understand that the recalculation of pensions for pensioners from January 1, 2015 in accordance with Art. 34 new laws “About insurance pensions” was carried out based on payment case documents. If any documents indicating that the woman cared for children were not presented when applying for a pension, then they could not be taken into account automatically, and in order to take into account the period of child care in points, recalculation will need to be done on an application basis.

The application can be submitted in person to the Pension Fund client services, as well as through the MFC. Currently, it is also possible to apply electronically through the “Personal Account” on the public services portal. Before this, it is advisable to make an appointment and get advice from employees of your Pension Fund branch, if possible - with carrying out preliminary calculations, which will confirm the advisability of filing an application in your particular case.

It is recommended to make an appointment in advance (the service is provided on the official website of the Pension Fund of Russia without registration). However, in some regions the queue for appointments may be busy a few months in advance. Due to long queues regarding the recalculation of pensions at the Pension Fund branches, it is often recommended to submit completed applications remotely, including by sending by mail notarized copies necessary documents.

When applying for recalculation of a pension for women for children, it is necessary provide the following documents:

identification document of the applicant (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation);
birth certificates of all children (if they are not in the pensioner’s payment file);
documents indirectly confirming that children have reached the age of 1.5 years:
- if birth certificates bear a stamp indicating that the child has been issued a passport, then it will be sufficient to submit only a certificate with such a mark;
- if there is no such stamp on the certificate, then you can present any other official document issued to the child after reaching 1.5 years of age (for example, a school certificate of education, a notarized copy of the child’s passport, his marriage certificate, etc.).

In cases where a pensioner for some reason cannot present birth certificates for her children (for example, if the children have grown up and moved with their documents to another region or even left the country), she can obtain them from the civil registry office child's birth certificate.

The law does not provide for any restrictions on the timing of filing an application for recalculation (in other words, you can apply for recalculation of your pension at any time). It is being considered no later than 5 working days, counted:

from the date of receipt of the application with a full set of necessary documents submitted on the applicant’s own initiative;
from the date of receipt of the necessary documents Pension Fund through channels of interdepartmental interaction.

If a positive decision is made, recalculation is made in the general manner from the 1st day of the month following the month of application.

Important! If periods of childcare coincide with the woman's labor activity, then the recalculation of the pension with the replacement of work for “non-insurance” periods can only be carried out by renouncing a previously established pension, which may entail a significant change in the pension rights of the pensioner. In this case, it is necessary to approach this issue more responsibly, since after refusing to receive a pension for previous conditions it will be impossible.

Is there an additional payment to the pension for children born before 1990?

The recalculation of pensions for children born before 1990 is carried out in the general manner - there are no significant features in this regard and the age of the children does not in any way affect the possibility of taking into account the period of care for them up to 1.5 years in points.

Additional payment to pensions for adult children born during Soviet times will be significant in two main cases:

if the woman did not have official employment during these periods;
if she had low earnings at that time.

In practice, supplement to pension for children in 2019 will not be possible in the following cases:

if the woman has retired, starting January 1, 2015(i.e. in 2015-2019) - in this case, the most profitable option has already been calculated and selected automatically when assigning pension benefits, since all the necessary documents are already at the disposal of the Pension Fund employees;
if a woman has only one child(pension points for the first child are minimal and the increase for them is usually completely “eaten up” by the reduction in length of service and earnings attributable to it);
if the woman’s pension was initially calculated according to maximum earnings, taken into account until 2002 (maximum 20% more than the national average - the maximum taken into account earnings ratio was then set at 1.2).
