Believed to be citizens who are unable to perform labor duties subject to permanent residence within the Russian Federation. This security is paid to certain categories of persons upon reaching, due to the loss of a breadwinner or confirmation of disability.

Pension indexation from April 1, 2017  set to 1,5% . It was previously assumed that the increase will be about 2.6%. By indexing the recipients of the pension, the increase in the cost of the consumer basket necessary to ensure their existence is compensated.

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

Cost of living takes into account the cost consumer basket. The calculation is made for different categories of citizens: pensioners, children, able-bodied persons. PM is established by adopting a federal law on the budget of the Russian Federation for a fiscal year.

In 2017  there was a decrease in PM to 8 540 rubles. Regional authorities are introducing their own PM indicators, which you need to focus on when assigning payments. The total material security of a pensioner cannot be less than the PM in a particular region.

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

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

A final decision on the size of the indexation has not yet been made. We keep track of relevant information as it becomes available from an official source.

RUB 12,082.06 * 1,2 \u003d $ 14,498.47

The cost of living for children in the Khabarovsk Territory is 13 404 rub.  Since the size of the listings ( $ 14,498.47) is greater than this value, then additional payments to the disability pension are not provided.

In accordance with the law, annually in Russia there is an increase in pensions for citizens of the country. This year, there are also some important recalculation aspects that you need to know about. Ever since the first days of the new year, some pensioners have already felt the reforms and have received an increase. This applies to all unemployed citizens who went on a well-deserved rest. Latest news on pension increases from April 1, 2018 and by how much  insurance / social benefits will become larger - you will learn all this from this article.

What pensions and for whom will be indexed

The indexation of pensions is provided by law for those who receive insurance payments and for social benefits. Regarding the first case, an increase of 1.2% was planned back in June last year and funds were allocated from the budget. Since April 1, the Ministry of Labor has proposed indexation and social pensions of 2.9%. The project was approved, after which the decision was published on the official state portal.
According to the document, the following categories of citizens who receive:

• Social assistance from the state (including people with disabilities, children without a single breadwinner, elderly people who do not have sufficient work experience);
• State payments (all military, veterans, astronauts and pilots serving in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, state employees).

After indexing from January 1, the average amount of pension payments in the country amounted to 14 thousand rubles. For comparison - over the past period, the amount was at the level of 13 thousand 700 rubles. As the Pension Fund predicts, by 2020, the amount should exceed 15 thousand rubles, or 170% of the minimum pension.

Payout Indexing Details

The law provides for the annual indexation of social benefits, the reason for which is the increase in the cost of living. The state determines the coefficient and notifies all citizens in this Decree.
  It is impossible that the minimum amount of an elderly person's pension is less than the current living wage regional minimum (calculated depending on the person’s place of residence). If, according to the results of calculations, it turns out that a person receives a pension plus all the prescribed supplements, and the amount is still less than the established minimum, he is entitled to an allowance.

In 2018, the minimum in the country is 8726 rubles, according to the indexation results of April 1, the amount will be increased by another 2.9%. In total, more than 3.9 million people across the country will be able to receive an increased pension, of which about 3 million are people with a social pension.

As they commented on the situation in the Pension Fund, the amount is indexed as planned, strictly according to the terms established by the norms and the law. Recalculation is subject to social, but not insurance payments. However, experts note that the amount of the increase will be insignificant, so that such assistance from the state will have little effect on the living standards of older people.
  Regulatory framework on the basis of which recalculation will be performed
The right of Russians to receive a pension when they reach a certain age, as well as the conditions for its appointment, payment and increase are prescribed in No. 166-FZ. Section 5 of this normative act establishes the existence of several types of pension provision:

1. For the length of service (seniority);
2. By age (when a person reaches a certain age threshold) - monthly, lifetime payment;
3. If a person is assigned a disability group. In this case, a cash payment is assigned to him exactly from the moment he received the group. It is appropriated either until the status of the disabled person is withdrawn or for life;
4. Pension for families who have lost the bread-winner;
5. Social.

Article 25 of the aforementioned Federal Law describes the procedure for indexing. This happens annually.

Who is assigned a social pension and how is it recalculated

Section 4 of the Pension Law defines a complete list of citizens who are eligible to receive one or another type of payment. In addition to the persons described above, they also include the category of disabled people.
First of all, these are such citizens:

• Northern nationalities, provided that men have reached 55 years of age and 50 years of age with women who have not yet worked enough to receive an insurance pension;
• Citizens who have received the status of childhood disabilities (and children with disabilities), as well as disabled groups 1-3;
• Single parent or children who are not yet 18 years old, and their parents have died (subject to training in a hospital in any educational institution until they reach 23 years old).

So how much will the pension be raised for them from April 1 of this year? The 2.9% coefficient proposed by the government is approximately 255 rubles in addition to the pension already assigned.
  The premium for the described categories of citizens may vary. For example, the average increase in groups:

1. Children with disabilities will receive up to 378 rubles;
2. For disabled people, they will add 382 rubles from childhood.

According to the Ministry of Labor, the increase in pensions from April 1 will cost the country about 1 billion rubles a month, which by the end of the year will amount to 10 billion.
  Not only the above-mentioned citizens will feel the increase on themselves, it will affect other special groups:

1. The military participating in the Second World War;
2. Citizens who received the award of the blockade of Leningrad;
3. People injured in various kinds of technological disasters (Chernobyl victims, etc.);
4. Cosmonauts and test pilots.

Payments will be increased to the families of the military, left without a breadwinner (up to 303 rubles) and military-disabled people (up to 355 rubles). Most will receive citizens with awards for services to the country. From April 1, they will add 484 rubles.
  Experts say that although the increase is insignificant and less than inflation, the adopted indexation coefficient fully complies with legal standards. This means that no laws are violated.

Pension indexation in 2017, the latest news today: according to media reports, indexation of pensions to Russian pensioners from April 1, 2017 will be 1.5%.

Pension increase in 2017, the latest news: on April 1, 2017, pensions will increase by 1.5%

The second indexation of pensions for Russian pensioners in 2017 will be held on April 1. According to authorities, all types of pensions, including social payments and payments to military pensioners, will increase by 1.5%.

The Russian government set the indexation limit, focusing on the growth of the pensioner's living wage. First pensions in Russia intkbbe  from April 1, 2017, it was planned to increase by 0.38%, but later the indicator grew to 1.5%. Thus, the average size of a social pension will increase by 129 rubles and will amount to 8774 rubles after the increase.

The indexation of pensions from April 1, 2017 will affect military pensioners. Thus, the average disability pension for servicemen who have been conscripted will increase by 181 rubles to 12,343 rubles. The pension for the loss of the breadwinner to the families of military personnel who have served on the draft will increase by 155 rubles. From April 1, 2017, this category of citizens will receive 10462 rubles.

Also, a pension will increase for disabled pensioners who have been injured in hostilities and for participants of the Second World War receiving two pensions - by 206 and 200 rubles, respectively. The amount of payments for outstanding achievements and special services to Russia will increase by 247 rubles. On average, this category of citizens will receive 16,723 rubles.

At the same time, on April 1, 2017, the pension of working pensioners in Russia will not be indexed. But in the event that such a rosian decides to leave his job, he will be indexed for a pension for the entire missed period.

As the Russian government noted, the indexation of pensions in 2017 in Russia is fully implemented. In addition, about 30 thousand pensioners in Russia still have not received a payment of 5,000 rubles, although the Pension Fund accrued money to everyone, but not all pension payments in 2017 have reached the addressees.

In 2016, the Government of the Russian Federation did not fulfill its obligations to pensioners. The second indexation of pension payments, which was supposed to take place in September, was canceled. This issue was discussed by everyone. The government was not forgiven for this.

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

The large-scale pension reform that has been carried out in Russia in recent years has somewhat complicated the system of calculating payments to pensioners of various categories. Separately, old-age pensions and social pensions, payments to the military, the disabled and citizens who continue to work in retirement age are calculated. Also, the officially declared inflation rate for the year is tied to the calculation formula. How will the country's average pension change from April 1, 2017? How much will people with disabilities and military receive this year? Will indexation of pensions take place from April 1, 2017 for working citizens?

On the amount of pension payments in 2017

The legislation of the Russian Federation requires that indexation of pensions should be carried out annually and at least by a percentage of inflation over the past year. Official inflation for 2016 was a record - only 5.4%, against 12.9% in 2015 and 11.4% in 2014.

At the beginning of this 2017, the government announced a February 5.4 percent indexation, which affected the pension payments of all, without exception. Moreover, the Government also decided on a second indexation: the total percentage increase in pensions from April 1, 2017 will be 5.8%, which will bring the average rate of old-age pensions to 13893 rubles.

Recipients of social pensions will also receive an increase: if in 2016 the average size of these payments was at the level of 4959 rubles, then from April 1, the social pension will increase to 5247 rubles.

Citizens who do not have the required insurance work experience but have already reached retirement age (women - 55 years old, men - 65 years old) are entitled to count on this state assistance.

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

This puts the majority of recipients of social pensions in the category of working pensioners, who, according to recent decisions of the Government, will not increase pensions in 2017.

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

Many pensioners were ready to quit in order 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.

From April 1, 2017, for employed citizens, the social pension will not increase, but will remain at the level of 2016. For other categories of pensioners, the indexation will be 5.8%.

Since April 1, 2017, indexation of pensions 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 benefits, the April indexation will increase them:

• from 2974.03 to 3146.52 rubles for people with disabilities I gr .;
• from 2123.92 to 2247.11 rubles for the disabled II gr. and children with disabilities;
• from 1700.23 to 1798.84 rubles for the disabled III gr.

As for insurance pensions for people with disabilities, after indexing their size will reach:

• 12 593.91 rubles for people with disabilities I gr.;
• 10495.07 rubles for the disabled II gr;
• 4460.42 rubles for the disabled III gr.

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

First of all, here they take as a basis the size of the military salary at the time of his retirement. Further, a percentage of this amount is taken (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 you 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 to military pensioners in 2016 amounted to 21,000 rubles, therefore, in 2017, this bar 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? The latest news from the Ministry of Finance is disappointing: there are no funds in the budget for any indexation after April.

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