general information

Citizens of the Russian Federation receive the right to receive pension benefits within the framework of all-Russian laws. People can claim this for various reasons. Most often, a pension is awarded in connection with reaching retirement age. It is different for women and men (60 and 65 years old, respectively). In addition, the pension is assigned:

• disabled people who have passed a medical and social examination;
• disabled citizens who have lost their only breadwinner;
• citizens who have completed their length of service (military personnel, astronauts, test pilots, civil servants);
• citizens in the absence of the required insurance period and the minimum amount of pension points.

In addition, there is a funded pension, which is a monthly lifetime payment of pension savings formed from insurance contributions from employers and income from their investment. Such a payment can significantly increase the amount of pension benefits received.

Along with the state pension system, there is non-state voluntary pension provision. By making contributions to a non-state pension fund, a future pensioner can form another pension. The employer can also participate in non-state pension provision. In this case, the pension will be called corporate.

Hint: there are also special pension payments for civil servants, military personnel, and test pilots. They are awarded and financed by the relevant ministry or department.

Capital surcharges apply only to Muscovites. And recipients registered in the Moscow Region (MO) can apply for bringing the state pension payment up to the subsistence level.

Hint: the subsistence level (LS) is the amount of money needed to survive. It is determined at the local and national level quarterly.

By old age

In the event of the loss of a breadwinner, the state provides a social benefit, the amount of which is determined individually. Persons without a permanent income belonging to the following categories have the right to receive such benefits in the Moscow region:

For working pensioners

In addition to the above payments, there is a presidential supplement assigned to low-income non-working pensioners. It is impossible to calculate the size of the maximum pension payment for the Moscow region. This indicator is determined:

After the establishment of new PM values, some citizens will have to re-register social supplements to the Pension Fund. This depends on the ratio of regional and federal indicators adopted for 2021. This situation will affect several areas.

In 2021, residents of Chuvashia will have the smallest pension in Russia – 7,953 rubles. Senior citizens of the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug will receive the maximum payments - 19 thousand rubles. The size of the PMP for your region can be found in the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (PFR). Recalculation of a pensioner's monthly pension occurs automatically; to receive an increase, you need to write an application.

Social payments for PMP

The state annually indexes the material support of older people. For citizens who receive an old-age pension, it will increase by 6.6% from January 2021. These recalculations do not apply to those who continue to work. For people who receive social benefits, their amount will be indexed by 7% from April 1.

Pension contributions of the working population are not subject to indexation annually, and additional payments are not made to the level of the minimum pension, even if this is necessary and the overall amount of income is below the required value. Since 2021, no global changes in state policy have occurred, but the increase in pensions will continue until August 2021 for residents of the capital when their work experience is recalculated. The cost of the coefficients will also not increase from the date of registration of pension status, and for 2021 the price of a pension point will be 93 rubles, increasing every year by approximately 5 rubles, according to experts’ forecasts.

Conditions for receiving a pension in the Moscow Region

Content from the budget of the Pension Fund (PFR) comes in different types. Consequently, the conditions for obtaining it depend on the specific situation. The main ones are:

1. Insurance Old-age maintenance is due to people who have reached the age established by law, subject to a certain amount of:
   points on the insurance account (for 2021 - 16.2, by 2024 the required number will increase to 30);
2. work experience (in 2021 - 10 years, but by 2024 it will reach 15 years).
3. Social Pension provision is assigned to citizens who have not achieved the above indicators on the following grounds:
   upon determination of incapacity for work;
4. permanent residence in the Russian Federation.
5. Survivor benefits are not related to length of service. The basis for their appointment is the death of the only supporter of a disabled person.
6. Disability payments :

• recognition of a citizen as disabled;
• presence of at least one day of insurance experience; in the absence of such, a social pension is assigned.

5. The state long-service pension is assigned if there is length of service in certain positions, or when leaving service for health reasons (disability, illness).

Hint: the legislation establishes a number of preferential factors that lower the age for exercising the right to a pension. For example, employment in harmful or dangerous work, work in the Far North.

In addition, in the Russian legal field there is the concept of a funded pension. Persons who have entered into an agreement with Non-State funds or have made independent contributions can apply for this.

Working pensioners

The high standard of living in Moscow implies equally high prices, that is, the cost of goods and services for residents of the capital is much higher than for the population of other regions of the country. To compensate for the difference in general pension payments and territorial price categories, the City Social Standard was established, established from September 1, 2021 in the amount of 19,500 rubles, the indexation of which will also occur in 2021. It determines the universal amount of payments for capital residents, taking into account needs.

Capital standard

The program for a systematic increase in pensions continues to gain momentum every year, and therefore the long-awaited innovations also affect the state of pension contributions, which is a very relevant change in the payment system.

As part of the first stage, from January 1, 2021, the old-age insurance benefit, which non-working pensioners receive monthly, will be increased. Labor Department officials said the increase would be 6.6%. The value of the pension point in the coming year will increase from 87 rubles 24 kopecks to 93 rubles. As previously reported, the government plans to achieve a gradual increase in a citizen’s pension benefit by 1,000 rubles annually.

This Law, in accordance with paragraph 4 of Article 4 of the Federal Law of October 24, 1997 No. 134-FZ “On the subsistence level in the Russian Federation,” establishes in the city of Moscow the cost of living for a pensioner in order to determine the regional social supplement to the pension for 2021.

How will pensions of Moscow pensioners increase in 2021?

This coming spring, an increase in the payments that Moscow pensioners are entitled to as part of mandatory social security is expected. It is known that social pensions will increase by approximately 7% starting April 1, 2021. As a result of the implementation of the planned indexation measures, the average social benefit of a Moscow pensioner will increase from 9.7 to 10.3 thousand rubles.

The table is compiled on the basis of regional regulations (decrees, decrees, orders), which establish the cost of living for a pensioner from January 1, 2021. The cost of living for a pensioner in the Russian Federation as a whole for 2021 is set at 9,311 rubles .

The pension is formed from various indicators, some of which depend on the citizen’s work activity. However, the minimum pension depends on the level of the subsistence minimum, which is established individually in each subject of the country. This indicator changes annually based on the region's budget.

Social pension in 2021

The minimum pension amount is assigned based on the subsistence level (LS) established by the region. Low-income elderly citizens whose income is less than the monthly minimum are assigned a social supplement to their pension to achieve the required value.

The minimum pension in the Moscow region in 2021 will be approximately 10,100 rubles by the end of the year .

More than half a million people of retirement age work in the Moscow region. Their income consists of salaries and contributions to the Pension Fund for the length of service they have earned. If in total this income does not exceed the minimum level of residence in the region, then they are also charged an additional payment of up to 9908 rubles.

Minimum pension and its indexation in the Moscow region

• veterans of the Moscow region who participated in the Second World War are entitled to an additional payment in the amount of 14,500 to 18,000;
• those with work experience of over 50 years receive an additional payment of 1074;
• labor veterans and rear workers - from 97 to 576;
• those rehabilitated and victims of repression are awarded monthly from 97 to 480;
• honorary Donors receive 394.

The minimum subsistence level for a pensioner is set by the executive authorities of a particular constituent entity of the Russian Federation. In the capital, this value is approved by deputies of the Moscow City Parliament signed by the mayor by a special legislative act. For 2021, the document was signed in October of the previous year. The pension amount was 12,115 rubles. According to forecasts, the law for 2021 will also be promulgated in the same month only in 2021.

Statistical data for the Moscow region

A number of regional factors influence the amount of pensioner’s maintenance. The authorities' goal is to prevent large numbers of the population from falling into poverty. Therefore, governments are working to bring the level of income of pensioners to the PM level. It consists of the following:

• monitoring of the incomes of the disabled population is carried out;
• Social measures are being developed and implemented for groups receiving minimal benefits.

The main indicators influencing accruals for pensioners of the Moscow Region are collected in the table:

Hint: the regional government has developed a procedure for making additional payments from the local budget to low-income citizens. Benefits are assigned by social security authorities at the place of residence.

Presidential surcharge

The new methodology for calculating pensions based on the number of points earned has led to the fact that there are much more low-income citizens across the country than before. Therefore, the authorities introduced a new principle into the legal field. He talks about the following:

• the income of an unemployed member of society cannot be lower than the minimum wage: by region of residence;
• around the country;
• the largest one is selected.

non-working pensioners whose income does not reach the minimum wage have the right to additional payment Consequently, persons who have not previously enjoyed a presidential benefit must apply for it at the Pension Fund branch.

Attention! An application for additional payment can be sent to the government agency:

• personally visiting:
• the department where the pension case was opened;
• Multifunctional Center;
• through the State Services portal (registration required).

Indexation of pension benefits in 2021

The capital's budget pays pensioners a bonus so that the benefit is not less than the State Social Insurance Fund, but it is difficult to obtain the additional payment. The main condition is a long period of official residence in Moscow. If a citizen is officially registered in the capital for 10 years or more, he is entitled to this additional payment. Otherwise, the additional payment will be made as usual.

City social standard for pensioners in Moscow

The annual increase in pension benefits no longer depends on rising inflation rates. According to the plans of the executive authorities, the indexation of pensions should outpace the inflation parameters in order to ensure a decent existence for our pensioners in the future. This year, the insurance portion of the pension increased by 7.05%. Next year, as noted by Elena Bibikova, deputy chairman of the social policy committee of the upper house of parliament, indexation will be 6.6%. Thus, this parameter will be taken into account when adjusting pensions from January 1, 2021. But the increase in pensions will only affect non-working elderly people. Working pensioners receiving benefits will not be affected by the January indexation. In our country, as in previous years, you can work while on a well-deserved rest, but an increase in benefits for a working pensioner should not be expected until he pays off work.

Social benefits are paid to persons who have lived in the region for more than ten years .
