Who received a pension for April? Military pensioners for Russia and its armed forces

Who will receive pension recalculation from April 1

In the past 2016, pension indexation was carried out once and only for non-working pensioners. Thus a violation was committed pension legislation Russia, which implies an annual increase in payments in accordance with the achieved level of inflation. The first increase took place in February 2016 and amounted to 4% for non-working pensioners (384 rubles). The second was canceled due to the lack of necessary funds and instead a one-time payment of 5 thousand rubles was made to working pensioners and those who are not working on a well-deserved rest.

On January 19, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev signed a decree according to which the payment schedule for the current year should be returned to normal rules. Thus, the increase, which took place on February 1, affected about 30 million non-working recipients of insurance pensions and about half a million non-working military pensioners, who also receive insurance pension along with old age. About 130 billion rubles are planned for these purposes.

In addition, a fixed payment in an increased amount is provided to the following categories of pensioners:

• those who have reached the age of 80 years;
• orphans;
• pensioners who support disabled family members;
• persons whose seniority is at least 15 years in the Far North.

There are also categories of recipients who, according to the law, are entitled to a reduced level of surcharge. For example, persons with disability group III can count on a fixed payment in the amount of half (50%) of the base amount.

Latest news on indexation of social pensions

As the latest news reports, an increase of 0.4% is connected, according to Deputy Chairman of the Government Olga Golodets, with the Pension Fund - according to the projected inflation rate for 2016, the budget provided funds in the amount of 5.8% and it is they who will be allocated for the April indexing. Thus, the February increase in pensions by 5.4%, and the increase from April 1 by 0.4%, total 5.8% - the amount planned for 2017. This pension recalculation will not affect working pensioners.

Important! In 2016, the average old-age pension in Russia was 13.2 thousand rubles.

Minister of Labor and social protection In Russia, Maxim Topilin, during a meeting with Russian President Vladimir Putin, announced the mechanism for indexing pensions: “ “We have all the resources to provide all the social payments provided for in the budget.”. Speaking about this, the head of the department means the implementation of the May decrees of the president, which concern public sector workers - doctors, school teachers, cultural workers, social workers, as well as teachers preschool institutions and teaching staff.

In addition to increasing pensions, this year it is expected that social benefits will be indexed for the following categories:

Anton Drozdov, who holds the post of Chairman of the Board of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, noted that in the period from 2017 to 2019, social pensions of Russians will increase by an average of 1 thousand rubles, which will bring them closer to the mark of 15 thousand rubles. At the same time, for certain categories - military pensioners, veterans, war participants - the amount of social payments will be more than 40 thousand rubles.

In 2016, the Government of the Russian Federation did not fulfill its obligations to pensioners. Second indexing pension payments, which was supposed to take place in September, was cancelled. Everyone was discussing this issue. The government was not forgiven for this.

A promise to pay each pensioner compensation in the amount of 5,000 rubles at the beginning of 2017, and in February to carry out a planned indexation of labor and social pensions in full (at the rate of inflation for 2016) slightly reduced the level of tension in society. As a result, the Government not only fully implemented its plans, but also decided to carry out pre-indexation: in April, the final percentage of pension indexation will be brought to 5.8%, which is 0.4% more than planned (official inflation for 2016 was 5.4%) .

Large-scale pension reform, which has been carried out in Russia in recent years, has somewhat complicated the system of calculating payments to pensioners of different categories. Old age pensions and social pensions, payments to military personnel, disabled people and citizens who continue to work at retirement age are calculated separately. Also linked to the calculation formula is the officially declared inflation rate for the year. How will the national average pension change from April 1, 2017? How much will disabled people and military personnel receive this year? Will indexation of pensions take place from April 1, 2017 for working citizens?

About the amount of pension payments in 2017

The legislation of the Russian Federation requires that pensions be indexed annually and at least by the percentage of inflation for last year. Official inflation for 2016 turned out to be a record - only 5.4%, against 12.9% in 2015 and 11.4% in 2014.

At the beginning of the current 2017, the government announced a February 5.4 percent indexation, which affected pension payments of everyone without exception. Moreover, the Government has decided on a second indexation: the overall percentage of pension increases from April 1, 2017 will be 5.8%, which will bring the average old-age pension to 13,893 rubles.

Recipients of social pensions will also receive an increase: if in 2016 the average amount of these payments was 4,959 rubles, then from April 1 the social pension will increase to 5,247 rubles.

Citizens who have not accumulated the required insurance work experience, but have already achieved retirement age(women – 55 years old, men – 65 years old).

Lack of experience often becomes the reason for going to work in old age.

This puts the majority of social pension recipients in the category of working pensioners, for whom, as evidenced by the latest decisions of the Government, pensions will not be increased in 2017.

In 2016, there were active rumors that working pensioners would be deprived of any pension payments. The government explained this by saying that there was simply no money in the budget.

Many pensioners were ready to quit so as not to lose their social pension. By the beginning of 2017, the following decision was made: The government will not abolish social pensions for working pensioners, but will not index them either.

For employed citizens, the social pension will not be increased from April 1, 2017, but will be left at the 2016 level. For other categories of pensioners, the indexation will be 5.8%.

Indexation of pensions from April 1, 2017 by 5.8% will affect social and insurance benefits received by people with disabilities of various groups and people with disabilities since childhood. In relation to social payments April indexation will increase them:

• from 2974.03 to 3146.52 rubles for disabled people of group I;
• from 2123.92 to 2247.11 rubles for disabled people of group II. and disabled children;
• from 1700.23 to 1798.84 rubles for disabled people of category III.

As for insurance pensions for disabled people, after indexation their size will reach:

• 12593.91 rubles for disabled people of group I;
• 10495.07 rubles for disabled people II group;
• 4460.42 rubles for disabled people III group.

Former military personnel in the Russian Federation belong to a separate category of pensioners, since the system for accruing well-deserved pension payments to them is fundamentally different from the formula for calculating pensions for any other categories of beneficiaries and does not depend on inflation.

First of all, the size of a military man’s salary at the time of his retirement is taken as a basis. Next, a percentage is taken from this amount (it is set by the Government every year). According to the provisions of Federal Law No. 430-FZ, from February 1, 2017, this percentage is set at 72.23%, which is 2.78% more than in 2016. If we recalculate the percentage of such indexation in monetary terms, then the amount military pensions will increase by an average of 900-950 rubles, which is about 4%.

The average pension for military pensioners in 2016 was 21,000 rubles, therefore, in 2017 this level will almost reach 22 thousand. Will the second indexation of these payments take place in April or October along with the main planned indexation of other pensions? Last news from the Ministry of Finance are disappointing: there are no funds in the budget for any indexations after April.

The former military will have to wait for the results of the 2017 financial year (inflation indicator) and, as a result, February 2019 – the time of the next planned indexation.

Pension indexation from April 1, 2017 set at level 1,5% . Previously it was assumed that the increase would be about 2.6%. Due to indexation, pension recipients are compensated for the increase in the cost of the consumer basket necessary to ensure their existence.

The amount of such payments is set at the state level and is subject to annual increases. When determining the size of the social pension, the value (PM) and its change are taken into account.

In 2017 PM decreased to 8,540 rubles. Regional authorities introduce their own PM indicators, which need to be guided by when assigning payments. The total financial support of a pensioner cannot be less than the minimum monthly wage in a particular region.

After indexing average value social pension totals 8,774 rubles. The smallest pension amount is due to and, as well as to persons of retirement age. The largest pension amount is paid to citizens with, persons who received group 2 disability in, and under 18 years of age.

A proposal was also made to decrease indexing size up to 1,5% . This is explained by a slight increase in the cost of food and non-food products, which are included in the minimum set

A final decision on the amount of indexation has not yet been made. We monitor current information as it arrives from official sources.

Indexation of military pensions

For working pensioners it is made recalculation security taking into account paid insurance premiums. After completion of the work, citizens will be fully indexed. The government plans to consider the issue of indexing pensions for this category of citizens as well.

An example of calculating a pension from April 1

Troshkin Egor Vladimirovich is a disabled person of group 2 at the age of 16 years. For the disabled child category in 2016, the pension amount was RUB 11,903.51

After indexation, the security amount will be:

RUB 11,903.51 * 1.5% = 12,082.06 rub.

Troshkin E.V. lives in Amursk, Khabarovsk Territory, where the coefficient applies 1,2 . After adjustment, the amount receivable will be:

RUB 12,082.06 * 1.2 = RUB 14,498.47

The living wage for children in the Khabarovsk Territory is RUB 13,404 Since the size of transfers ( RUB 14,498.47) is greater than this value, then no additional payments are provided to the disability pension.
