An increase in pensions from April 1 for employees. In April, Russians are waiting for an increased pension and new tax conditions. Social and insurance pensions: how are they different, who are assigned

To whom will the recalculation of pensions be made from April 1

In 2016, indexation of pensions was carried out once and only for non-working pensioners. Thus, a violation of the pension legislation of Russia was committed, 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 lack of necessary Money and instead, a lump sum payment of 5,000 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 resolution according to which the payment schedule for the current year should be returned to the usual 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 an old-age insurance pension along with. About 130 billion rubles are planned for these purposes.

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

• over the age of 80;
• round orphans;
• pensioners who support disabled family members;
• persons whose work experience 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 III group disability can count on a fixed payment of half (50%) of the base amount.

Thus, the February increase in pensions by 5.4%, and the increase from April 1 by 0.4%, in total amount to 5.8% - the amount that was planned for 2017. This recalculation of the pension will not affect working pensioners.

What you need in order to receive additional payments from April 1

You do not need to do anything for this - pensions will be indexed automatically. In addition, this does not require any special government orders. According to the Ministry of Labor, indexation was originally included in the budget law, so the PFR will automatically start recalculating.

Last news For 2017, the average pension for ordinary citizens who have retired by age and have the required length of insurance experience is 13,657 rubles. In some regions, the amount of payments is higher, for example, in the capital. At the same time, in the least economically developed parts of Russia, the pension provision indicator is lower. The insurance type of pension affects citizens born after 1967. The same category of Russians can apply for funded pension payments.

The program for the formation of accumulative pension deposits has been frozen since 2014. The plan for indexing pensions for Russians for 2017 is as follows: increasing benefits for residents of rural areas - from January; old age allowance, EVD, social. subsidies, military pensions - from February; social payments - from April; recalculation of the pension amount for the military - from October. It is planned to index pension payments in 100% of the inflation rate for 2016. Pensioners were assured that the indexation percentage would not be affected by the fact of receiving a one-time payment at the beginning of 2017 - 5,000 rubles. This payment is intended to cover the difference between inflation and indexation of pensions for previous periods. Social pensions from April 1 From April 1, we plan to recalculate social pensions.

The living wage was taken into account. The actual increase will be 2.6%. By categories of recipients of social pensions, the new sizes of pensions look like this: Recipient of social. pensions Amount of pension provision Disabled people I gr. RUB 9919.73 II gr. RUB 4,959.85 III gr. RUB 4,848.25 Disabled since childhood Up to 18 years 11903.51 rubles. I gr. RUB 11903.51 II gr. RUB 9919.73 Representatives of the peoples of Kr. Severa 50 - 55 years old 4,959.85 rubles. Russians 60 and 65 years old. RUB 4,959.85 Children who have lost one parent under the age of 18 RUB 4,959.85 Children who have lost both parents under the age of 18 9919.73 rubles. Disabled people are also entitled to EDV. Its size has also been indexed since February - by 5.4%. The minimum amount of UDV is paid to disabled persons of the III group. - 1919.30 rubles, and the maximum among recipients of social. pensions are provided for disabled people I gr. - 3357.23 rubles.

For comparison, the maximum UDV in 2017 is paid to veterans of the Great Patriotic War - 4795.17 rubles. Increase in pensions for military pensioners The initial indexation of military pensions in 2017 was scheduled for February. However, it was not carried out in full - only by 5.4%. In April, an additional adjustment of pensions for the military will be carried out due to an increase in social pensions. Military pensioners from April 1 will receive 0.4% more. The reason is the influence of the size of the social pension on the calculation of the payment for the length of service. It is also worth considering that for 2017 all current benefits for military pensioners remain. Some categories of the military retained the right to receive 2 pensions in parallel. Recalculation of pensions for working pensioners For pensioners who continue to work in parallel with receiving pension funds, indexation will not be carried out in April.

It was also decided to freeze the issue of revising the amount of pensions for pensioners who work until 2019. But such citizens can continue to receive pensions and wages for their work. There are no restrictions in this matter. Payment schedule for April Payment schedules for the upcoming month are announced in advance - about a week before the start of payments. Details on the dates for the start of the transfer of pensions from April 1 can be found in the organization that issues pensions to citizens: banks, branches of the Russian Post, private credit organizations that have special accreditation and have signed an agreement.

In accordance with Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 307 dated March 16, 2017, from April 1, 2017, the coefficient of indexation of social pensions was approved in the amount of 1,015.

Thus, from April 1 of this year, the size of social pensions will be increased, as well as the size of pensions for state pension provision, the size of additional material support and other payments, the amounts of which are determined based on the corresponding amount of the social pension, as well as the amount of additional monthly material support in accordance with the decrees and orders of the President of the Russian Federation, the provisions of which provide for their increase in connection with the indexation of social pensions.

Example 1 Citizen A. is the recipient state pension in old age for living in a zone of radioactive contamination. As of March 2017, the pension amounted to 9919.70 rubles.

From April 1, the size of the state pension will be recalculated taking into account the indexation coefficient of 1.015 and will amount to 10,068.50 rubles. (9919.70 * 1.015 = 10068.50) and will increase by 148.80 rubles compared to March.

From 01.04.2017, the amount of insurance pensions of non-working citizens is subject to adjustment, with the exception of a fixed payment to the insurance pension.

In accordance with Article 8 of the Federal Law of December 19, 2016 No. 416-FZ "On the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for 2017 and for the planning period of 2018 and 2019", the cost of the pension coefficient from April 1, 2017 is set at 78 rubles 58 kopecks.

Example 2 idle G Citizen B. is a recipient of an old-age insurance pension. As of March 2017, his pension was 8,892.45 rubles. for 113,598 pension coefficients. The amount of the fixed payment to the insurance pension is 4805.11 rubles. Overall size insurance pension and fixed payment as of March 2017 amounted to 13,697.56 rubles.

From April 1, the amount of the old-age insurance pension will be recalculated from the accounting new value pension coefficient 78.58 rubles. and will amount to 8926.53 rubles. (113.598 * 78.58 = 8926.53 rubles), the amount of the fixed payment does not change from 04/01/2017. Thus, the amount of the old-age insurance pension and the fixed payment will be 8926.53 + 4805.11 = 13731 from 04/01/2017 .64 rubles, and will increase compared to March by 34.08 kopecks.

The coming year 2017 brought some great news to Russian pensioners at once.

The government fulfilled its promise regarding a one-time payment to each citizen of retirement age (5,000 rubles each), and announced the long-awaited indexation.

The last increase, which was scheduled for September 2016, did not take place. The compensation paid was a one-time event. The issue of increasing payments from this has not ceased to be relevant. The next indexation will be calculated based on the size of the pension, relevant for February 2016.

The next indexation of pensions from April 1, 2017 will increase the amount of pension payments by at least the percentage of inflation recorded at the end of 2016. The official figure was 5.4% (for comparison: 2015 - 12.9%, 2014 - 11.4%). The Government has every chance to fulfill its obligations. By what amount will the average pension increase from April 1, 2017? What increase will military and working pensioners get? Will there be a second indexation in September?

Average pension in the country

The latest news from the Government of the Russian Federation claims that the indexation of pensions from April 1, 2017 will be 5.8%. The increase will take place in two stages: the first - in February (by 5.4%), the second - in April (another 0.4% to get 5.8%). Pensions from April 1, 2017 are waiting for the second indexation, and the final percentage increase by 0.4% will exceed the plan.

According to the current legislation, which obliges the Government to increase pensions annually (indexed to the percentage of inflation based on the results of the previous year), after April 2017, the next increase in labor and social pensions will have to wait until next February.

In 2016, the average retirement pension was set at 13,132 rubles. According to the indexation scheme, from April 1 - after additional indexation - the average pensioner will receive 13,893 rubles.

As for social pensions, it is necessary to take into account not only the size of the social pension (it is an order of magnitude lower than that of labor pensions), but also the category of citizens to whom it is accrued. In 2016, the social pension was 4959 rubles. It was received in 2016 by those elderly people who did not gain the required insurance work experience. According to the decision of the Government, this type of payment has also been increased: from April 1, 2017, the social pension will be indexed by 5.8% and will amount to 5247 rubles.

For reference: only citizens who have reached retirement age (men - 65 years old, women - 55 years old) can receive social pensions. An exception is made for pensioners who are classified as small peoples of the North. For them, the age threshold for both women and men is reduced by 10 years.

Military personnel who have retired belong to a separate category of pensioners, since the system for calculating their pension payments has its own characteristics. First of all, the value military pension depends on the allowance that the pensioner received before leaving the service. The timing of the indexation of military pensions also differs: the Government has committed to raise military pensions twice a year (in January and October) plus use an additional second indexation of 2%, regardless of the value of the first indexation. What awaits military pensioners in 2017? Nothing good.

From April 1, 2017, the military pension will not be increased. Indexation should not be expected in October either. Nor will there be a two percent increase (for the first time since 2012). These provisions are spelled out in federal law No. 430-FZ of December 19, 2016. The reason for the appearance of the law (according to officials) is the lack of funds in the budget. At the same time, this normative act makes some exceptions: military payments will be indexed on a general basis (by 5.8%). The increase will affect only former employees of prosecutor's offices, military courts and the Investigative Committee.

A significant part of pensioners who continue to work are recipients of social pensions. The pensioner has to continue working due to the lack of experience to receive labor pension and retirement points.

This situation makes it possible to count on relatively little state support. Since 2017, the Government has taken care of working pensioners and decided to freeze the amount of pension payments. The size of the pension for working citizens will remain at the same level after April 1. The reason for the lack of indexation is the same - the lack of funds in the state budget.

Throughout 2016, rumors were actively circulating about the complete abolition of pension payments for working citizens.
