Russians can expect another pension increase in 2017. Last news came from the Russian Government, which published a corresponding decree signed by Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
On Tuesday, March 21, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a document according to which indexation will take place from April 1, 2017 social pensions in the amount of 1.015.
To approve the indexation coefficient of social pensions in the amount of 1.015 from April 1, 2017, says the resolution published on the official portal of legal information.
According to Rosstat, the cost of living for a pensioner increased by 1.5% in 2016. And the social pension, as you know, is indexed based on these data and does not depend on the level of inflation.
Indexation of pensions in 2017
Next year, pensions will be indexed according to the usual scheme, Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev said during an interview with journalists from leading Russian television channels.
“Next year it was decided to return to the usual indexation of pensions. That is, in the first quarter next year the pension will be indexed by 5.8% according to inflation for the current year,” the prime minister noted.
According to the official, “huge amounts of money” are planned for indexation of pensions in next year’s budget. “In total, this is 7 trillion rubles,” Medvedev assured.
Let us recall that this year the indexation of pensions was replaced by a one-time payment of 5 thousand rubles. “As a result of the payment, the real size of the pension will increase. This five thousand payment, in fact, means the second part of indexation. And for some pensioners, these 5 thousand are more than they would receive with indexation,” Medvedev noted.
Indexation of pensions from February 1, 2017
Indexation of pensions in February 2017 will be carried out in full for 2016 inflation.
The draft budget of the Russian Pension Fund for 2017 and for the planning period of 2018 and 2019, adopted by the State Duma on December 9, provides for a forecast inflation rate of 5.8%. The size of the fixed payment after indexation will be 4,823.35 rubles per month, the cost of the pension point will be 78.58 rubles (in 2016 – 74.27 rubles). The final indexation amount will be known in January, when Rosstat publishes the official inflation rate. The individual pension coefficient for all pensioners will be indexed exactly by this index.
Indexation of pensions in case of loss of a breadwinner
The Cabinet of Ministers decided to index survivor pensions from April 1, 2017 in full, as required by law. From April 1, 2017, survivor pensions will be increased, and from February 1, 2017, social payments and the cost of preferential services will be indexed.
How much will pensions increase for families who have lost their breadwinner?
The indexation of pensions in the event of the loss of a breadwinner will be 5.4 percent, this figure was announced in the Cabinet of Ministers. The government promised to index pensions twice in 2017; from February 1, social payments will be increased for all categories of pensioners, and from April 1, survivor pensions will be increased. Pensions will be increased according to actual inflation; there will be no one-time payments like in 2016. The increase in pensions will continue as before.
Insurance pensions
Insurance pensions from February 1, 2017 will be indexed to the official inflation rate of 2016. The consumer price index, according to official data from Rosstat, for the past 2016 amounted to 5.4%. Accordingly, from February 1, 2017 insurance pensions will be indexed by 5.4%. In addition, in accordance with the statement of the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin following a meeting of Russian President Vladimir Putin with members of the government, from April 1, 2017, pensions will be indexed by 0.4%. As a result, the overall indexation of insurance pensions in 2017 will be 5.8%.
The average annual old-age insurance pension in 2017, as a result of indexation, will be approximately 13,657 rubles.
Unfortunately, we have to admit that pensions of working pensioners in 2017 will not be indexed in the same way as in the previous year. Moreover, pensions of working pensioners will not be indexed until at least 2019. Currently, the number of working pensioners in Russia is estimated at 9.6 million people.
In addition to insurance pensions, from February 1, the monthly cash payment (MCB), which is paid monthly to all federal beneficiaries (all disabled people, combat veterans, Chernobyl victims - almost 16 million people), will be indexed. The EDV, as well as insurance pensions, will be indexed by 5.8%.
State pensions, including social pensions
State pension pensions, including social pensions, will be indexed from April 1, 2017, taking into account the growth index of the pensioner’s cost of living for 2016. These pensions will be indexed for both working and non-working pensioners. The draft budget of the Pension Fund for 2017 provides for an increase in this type of pension by 2.6%
Let us recall that pension legislation guarantees annual indexation of insurance pensions from February 1, taking into account the inflation of the previous year.
This is how it was until 2015. However, in 2016, against the backdrop of an extremely unfavorable economic situation, pensions were indexed by 4%, with the caveat of possible additional indexation based on the results of budget execution in the first half of the year.
Insurance pensions and social payments will be indexed to the inflation rate
Moscow. January 11. INTERFAX.RU - From February 1, insurance pensions and social payments will be indexed to the level of inflation, said the head of the Ministry of Labor Maxim Topilin.
“From February 1, 2017, insurance pensions will be indexed in accordance with the inflation rate - by 5.4%,” Topilin told reporters following a meeting of the president with members of the government on Wednesday.
Also, from February 1, all social payments will be indexed to the inflation rate - child benefits, payments to war veterans, and disabled people. This indexation will also be 5.4%.
Indexation of pensions in 2018 in Russia will be carried out in three stages:
The moratorium on indexation of pensions in 2018 will be maintained - that is, employed citizens who are already retired will be able to count only for recalculation from August 1 based on accrued pension points for the previous year. They will be able to receive all the indexation missed during the moratorium.
In addition to indexing pension payments, in 2018 also in the basics of pension provision for Russian citizens, which will affect the conditions of retirement upon reaching retirement age and on the formation of pension rights of working citizens. Another question that worries pensioners in connection with the onset of the new year is whether there will be one (alas, but no - this time there will be no such payment).
Indexation of pensions in 2018
According to the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, insurance (labor) pensions of citizens must be indexed annually from February 1 to the inflation level of the previous year, and if the Pension Fund has additional financial resources, indexation is carried out again on April 1. But in the new year it’s traditional indexing order labor pensions will change: their increase will occur 1 month earlier - already.
Social pensions and other social payments made by the Pension Fund, will be promoted as usual to the actual level of price growth for 2017:
At the same time, an increase in insurance pensions. Let us recall that the indexation of pensions for working citizens was suspended in 2016 due to the difficult economic situation in the country. This freeze helped save the state 12 billion rubles. However, all missed indexations must be compensated to the citizen already.
Pension increase from January 1, 2018 (latest news)
In accordance with the law adopted by the State Duma on December 15, 2017 (introduced by the Government as) on changing the procedure for indexing insurance pensions in 2018 all types of pensions (old age, disability, survivors) should increase from January 1, 2018 by 3.7%. The previous procedure for increasing labor pensions is suspended until the beginning of 2019, and this increase does not apply to working pensioners (see the text of the law below).
It should be borne in mind that any insurance pension consists of two parts:
- fixed payment (or FV) is a constant value guaranteed by the state (for all categories of recipients it is set in a fixed amount);
- directly insurance part - this is an individual calculated value, which depends on the number of pension points earned during work.
January indexation will affect both parts of the pension as follows:
- The fixed payment will be increased by 3.7% and will remain unchanged 4982 rubles 90 kopecks, its increase or decrease is legally established for certain categories of citizens by Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013;
- The insurance part of the pension directly depends on the points earned by the pensioner, the value of which will increase from January 1 by 3.7% and amount to 81 ruble 49 kopecks.
In 2017, actual inflation in the country was recorded at no more than 3%. Consequently, the increase in pensions proposed by the Government by 1.037 times in 2018 formally covers the increase in consumer prices (although, of course, in its absolute value this increase will be very small - the increase will be even less than in previous years).
Increase in social payments to pensioners in 2018 from February 1
From February 1, 2018, there will also be an increase (indexation) of all social payments of the Pension Fund provided for various categories of citizens (disabled people, veterans, heroes of Russia, etc.). They are provided in the form of monthly cash payments(EDS), an integral part of which is also a set of social services (NSS).
In general, NSU consists of three parts (medicines, travel and sanatorium treatment) and is provided at the choice of the pensioner in one of two ways:
- in kind (that is, directly by social services);
- in monetary terms when refusing natural food.
The cost of a set of such services (each part separately) is determined by law and increases in direct proportion to the growth of the monthly payment (MAP) - i.e. by the same percentage. In 2018, this increase is planned at a level of less than 3%, so beneficiaries will hardly feel such an increase. The preliminary values of EDV and NSU in 2018 can be found in the table.
Thus, from February 1, 2018, it is planned to index social payments (including a set of social services) to the actual inflation level of last year. In the draft Government resolution, this value was fixed at 3.2%, but actual inflation will be less than 3%, so the size of the increase will be even smaller (the same applies).
Indexation of social pension in 2018 from April 1 by 4.1%
Social pension is a special type of pension, which is characterized by the pensioner’s lack of length of service. Such a pension is assigned in a fixed amount approved by law. And, as a rule, the size of social pensions is significantly lower than the calculated labor (insurance) pensions.
It should be noted that in the last two years there has been a decrease in the established growth rates of social pensions. So in April 2017, this type of pension was indexed by only 1.5%. In 2018, it is planned to reach the usual (pre-crisis) increase in the level of this type of pension provision - the projected growth of social pensions in April 2018 will be approximately 4.1%.
Unlike labor pensions, indexation of social pensions is tied to change in the cost of living of a pensioner for the previous year. Therefore, the amount of indexation of insurance and social pensions for the same year may differ (although in both cases it is associated with actual increase in consumer prices).
Thus, one of the positive changes in 2018 is a more noticeable increase in the cost of living (LS) in the country, including separately by region. At the same time, the established PM allows all non-working pensioners to receive additional payments (the so-called social supplements up to the subsistence level- federal and regional), if the size of their pensions is lower than the approved values.
According to the law, the level of a citizen’s pension should always be not lower than the subsistence level in the region, in which he lives (hence the seemingly strange statements of the Government that “There are no low-income pensioners in Russia”- they all receive pensions together with others social benefits in an amount not less than PM.
Since 2010, pension applications have already included a section on receiving social benefits. If your pension was assigned before 2010, and you did not submit a separate application for an additional payment, and the pension amount is below the established subsistence level in the region, then you must independently contact the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund.
Pension increase in 2018 in Russia for working pensioners
The laws adopted in the State Duma do not provide for any changes for the working population receiving pensions for 2018. This means that working pensioners will continue to receive pension amounts without annual indexation.
Let us recall that the indexation of pensions was stopped in February 2016 for those citizens who continue to work, having exercised their right to pension provision. The Government’s plans included not indexing pensions for working Russians up to 2019.
This moratorium on pension indexation operates as follows:
- Those citizens who retired before February 1, 2016 and retained workplace, have remained without an increase in their pensions since February 2016.
- Citizens who became pensioners after February 1, 2016, when calculating individual pension coefficient(IPC) the calculation takes into account all increases that took place on the date the right to a pension arose.
- If you continue to work and simultaneously receive a pension, all subsequent indexations from the date of employment will again not be applied.
Working pensioners have the right to increase their pension only through annual recalculation according to the employer. From August 1 of each year, the pensions of such citizens increase by the number of points taken into account in the previous year for the period of labor activity and payment of insurance contributions during this period. But no more than 3 points per year!
An example of how working pensioners will recalculate pension indexation in the Pension Fund
A woman born on May 1, 1962, retired in 2017 within the period established by law and continues to work. What indexations will be taken into account when determining the size of the pension? And from what time will the pension stop being indexed?
The calculation of the pension for this woman will be made on the date May 1, 2017. When calculating the IPC, all approved pension growth indices will be taken into account, starting from 2015 to 05/01/2017.
- The cost of one pension coefficient will be taken as of 05/01/2017 - this is 78.58 rubles.
- The fixed payment included in the insurance pension will be taken into account taking into account indexation as of May 1, 2017 and is equal to 4805.11 rubles.
Further, subject to continued performance of paid work, all subsequent indexations of singing after appointment will be suspended. Those. the indexation carried out will no longer be applied to this woman’s pension. And this will continue until she quits her job or is fired by her employer.
Indexation of pension after dismissal of a working pensioner in 2018
In 2017, a law was passed according to which the period for recalculating pensions after dismissal was changed. In 2018, working pensioners will be able to receive a pension with all missing indexes from the next month after dismissal. At the same time, the pensioner himself will not need to additionally apply to the Pension Fund, since this recalculation is entirely based on the monthly reporting of employers!
Previously, after leaving work, the pensioner received a recalculation of the pension received, taking into account all indexations in three months:
- the first month is the submission of reports to employers to the Pension Fund about citizens working in the organization;
- the second month - data on the fact of work was loaded into a single software package operating nationwide;
- the third is the adoption by the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation of a decision on recalculation.
For citizens who have stopped labor activity in 2018, the period for calculating pensions is reduced, taking into account indexations missed during work. This will be possible after entry into force from January 1, 2018 federal law No. 134-FZ dated July 1, 2017.
However, the process of additional accrual of missed increases will be the same for technical reasons will also take several months. But after this, when paying an already recalculated pension after 3 months, an additional payment will be made for the entire period following dismissal.
This innovation applies only to those who have been laid off. after January 1, 2018. If a pensioner quit, for example, in December 2017, then the indexation of his pension will be carried out only from April 1, 2018 - without additional payment for the period from January to March (in other words, these months will be lost).
Latest news and latest changes in pensions
As has already become clear, the increase in pensions in the new year for most categories of pensioners (barely noticeable) or, as for the large category of working pensioners -. But in the new year demands will increase to already formed pension rights and level wages Russian citizens for retirement:
Other significant changes to pension system Russia is not expected in 2018. In particular, the amount expected by many in the amount of 5,000 rubles will not be paid in 2018- this was a one-time, one-time additional payment, which was due to all pensioners in January 2017 in return for the additional indexation required by law that was missed in 2016 (and there is simply no reason to pay it in 2018).
And one of the few truly good news for Russians is that no decision has yet been made on what is relevant for those who are still working or planning to retire (including men born in 1958 and women born in 1963).
Will there be a one-time payment of 5,000 rubles to pensioners in 2018?
At the beginning of 2017, recipients of all types of pensions, regardless of the fact of work, received additional payment in the amount of 5000 rubles. This measure was necessary in the current economically unstable situation.
On the background high level inflation and the impossibility of carrying out additional indexation of pensions in 2016, a decision was made to make a one-time payment in addition to citizens’ pensions (Law No. 385-FZ of November 22, 2016). Thus, the pensions of Russians were “conditionally re-indexed”, many of whom perceived this simply as a New Year’s gift.
Currently, according to the Government, the economic situation in the country is normalizing. Over the past 12 months, the increase in consumer prices (inflation) does not exceed 3%, and pensions in 2017 rose in total according to two indexations by 5.78%.
The upcoming indexation of 3.7%, planned for January 2018, exceeds the inflation rate for 2017. Therefore, no additional one-time payments (5 thousand rubles or any other) will be made besides!
Will there be an increase in the retirement age in 2018 (latest news)
In the last few years, the most discussed and acute issue for Russians is question of increasing the retirement age. In many other countries, including post-Soviet ones, corresponding decisions have already been made and are being implemented.
- For example, from January 2017 in Belarus the retirement age will be increased annually by six months until women reach 58 years and men 63 years. In Kazakhstan, the same values apply - for women at 58 years old, for men at 63 years old.
- In many developed countries, such as Germany, men become pensioners at 65 years old, and women at 60 years old.
- In Ukraine, the Verkhovna Rada adopted a law on pension reform, which also includes an increase in the current retirement age.
Now this issue has come to a head in Russia. According to the Government, it is primarily due to the fact that the working age in the country is increasing - i.e. About a third of Russians already stop working later than retirement.
However, due to the great unpopularity of this measure, the Russian Government has not yet made a final decision on extending the retirement age (although many consider this issue resolved and note that it will most likely begin to be implemented after the next presidential elections, which will be held in March 2018 - but for now these are just rumors).
How many points and work experience do you need to retire in 2018?
Since 2015, a point system for calculating labor (insurance) pensions for citizens has been in effect, in which insurance premiums paid to the Pension Fund by the employer for its employees are transferred from rubles to relative values (points). The amount of contributions taken into account for the year is correlated with the maximum accountable amount of contributions approved by the Government, which corresponds to 10 pension points(this is the maximum that can be received in one year).
But in order to obtain the right to retire in old age within the generally established time limits, it is necessary to comply three mandatory conditions:
- reaching the age established by law;
- availability of insurance (work) experience;
- the presence of an established value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC) or, in other words, the size of pension points.
It should be noted that this only applies to old age pensions! Other types of pensions for compulsory pension insurance (disability, survivors) are appointed independently on the length of work (insurance) experience and the number of points received.
Since 2018 prerequisite to assign a pension upon reaching retirement age (currently 55 years for women and 60 years for men) is the availability 9 years of experience and 13.8 points individual pension coefficient (IPC).
An example of calculating pension points from 2015 to 2018
For a man born in 1965, he has an official salary before income tax (NDFL) of 30,000 rubles (accordingly, annual earnings are 360,000 rubles). Let’s assume that this citizen’s salary has never increased since 2015. At the same time, deductions are not made for him to the funded part of the pension, since he was born before 1967. Thus, the employer pays insurance premiums for this man to an individual personal account in the amount of 16% of earnings before personal income tax - that is, 16% × 360,000 = 57,600 rubles per year. Let's calculate how many points this man has earned since 2015, when the new pension formula came into effect.
Every year the Government approves for these purposes the so-called salary cap, the amount of mandatory contributions from which to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation to a citizen’s individual personal account is 16%. Thus, the maximum established salary in the country from 2015 to 2018 is the following values (see table below).
In 2018, the insurance base for contributions to the Pension Fund will amount to 1,021,000 rubles according to Government Decree No. 1378 dated November 15, 2017. Then the maximum amount of insurance premiums taken into account for the year, accepted for 10 points, will be 163,360 rubles (an increase of almost 17% compared to 2017).
Therefore, every ruble earned in 2018 will “depreciate” when transferred to pension points relative to 2017 by immediately 1 - (1 / 1.17) = 15%, and relative to the level of 2015 - by more than 30! Therefore, it is not enough to have only a constant high salary to form decent pension rights. So that their volume does not decrease from year to year, according to the new pension formula salary must grow by at least 10% per year(see table above).
Let's return to our example. To convert monthly earnings of 30,000 rubles into points, you need to correlate the salary data (taking 16% of annual earnings, which in the example under consideration will be 57,600 rubles per year) to the established limit values and multiply by 10:
- 57600 / 113760 × 10 = 5.06 points earned by a citizen in 2015;
- 57600 / 127360 × 10 = 4.52 points in 2016;
- 57600 / 140160 × 10 = 4.11 points in 2017;
- 57600 / 163360 × 10 = 3.53 points will be earned in 2018.
Thus, in just 4 years, while maintaining the same level of wages (in the example under consideration, this is 30 thousand rubles per month) the number of accrued pension points decreased by 30%(in this example - from 5.06 points in 2015 to 3.53 in 2018). Thus, in the modern pension system
Prices in stores are rising, and the alarming word inflation is often heard on TV screens. All this makes pensioners worry about the future and look forward to messages about the next indexation of pensions.
The result of the economic crisis and the fall in world oil prices was only one indexation of pensions in 2016. In exchange for the second, pensioners received a one-time payment in January 2017 in the amount of five thousand rubles.
Indexing planning
A return to the previous procedure for calculating pension payments is planned for 2017. The size of labor pensions will increase depending on inflation. Recalculation of social pensions will take into account the percentage change in the cost of living.
Preparations for this began at the stage of budget formation. Its expenditure part includes costs on the basis that insurance pensions will increase by 5.8%, social pensions will increase by 2.6%.
Insurance pensions
The first increase occurred in February 2017. Then payments to citizens receiving labor pensions increased. The indexation coefficient was calculated based on the data obtained on the inflation rate for the previous year. According to statistics for 2016, the increase in consumer prices was 5.4%.
Therefore, in January of this year, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to increase the size of insurance pensions by 5.4%. The fixed payment on the basis of which pension accruals are calculated has changed. Its amount was 4805.11 rubles. The size of the individual pensioner coefficient has increased to 78.28 rubles since February 2017.
In addition to insurance pensions, citizens entitled to monthly cash payments will receive an increase.
The increase in pension payments affected 30 million people, budget expenditures amounted to 230 billion rubles. An additional 14 billion rubles will be spent in April 2017 to increase pensions by 0.4%. In general, over the year the size of citizens' labor pensions should increase by 5.8%.
Social pensions
From April 1, 2017, social pensions of citizens are subject to indexation.Initially, information appeared in the press about an increase in their amount by 0.38%. But later it was decided to set the indexation amount based on changes in the pensioner’s cost of living. It has increased over Last year by 1.5% from 7965 rubles to 8081 rubles. In accordance with it, the growth of social pensions will be 1.5%.
The average pension increase will be 130 rubles, and the payment itself will increase to an average of 8,774 rubles.The pensions of military personnel, war veterans, disabled children, and persons receiving survivor benefits will be indexed.4.9 billion rubles will be spent from the budget to increase social pensions.
Pensions of working pensioners
The increase in pension payments to working pensioners has been suspended since 2016. Such measures led to savings of 400 billion rubles, which in times of crisis is a significant amount for the budget.
Increases in payments are suspended only while the pensioner is working. In the event of his dismissal from work, the size pension accruals will be recalculated taking into account all missing indexations. Even if a pensioner wants to work again after a certain period of time, the size of his pension will not decrease. Payments will be made in the amount accrued after dismissal.
Apart from pensioners who continue to work at their enterprises, the recalculation of pensions will not affect citizens engaged in other activities. These include lawyers, doctors, tutors, freelancers who receive income and are registered with pension fund. The increase in pensions has also been suspended for persons legally renting out apartments.
Citizens who worked in 2016 should expect an increase from August 1, 2017. This is not connected either with the indexation of payments by the inflation factor or with a change in the cost of living. The annual adjustment of payments to working pensioners occurs in connection with the receipt of additional insurance contributions from employers.
An increase in pension awaits every pensioner in 2017. Different categories of citizens will receive it at different times and in different amounts. Thus, the state strives to fulfill its obligations and returns to business as usual.
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 finishes his working career, the recalculation of his pension accruals will be made taking into account the past indexations. Working pensioners will receive an increase in pensions depending on how many contributions their employer has made 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 of retirement age. Moreover, today there are no exact answers to the questions raised by citizens.
Announcement
The increase in pensions in 2017 for old-age pensioners, as well as the latest news, are exciting people. And this is not surprising, because almost every year the authorities make changes to legislation that affect each citizen of Russia individually. That is why it is necessary to follow all the news or changes that the State Duma adopts.
