Amount of labor pension in case of loss of a breadwinner

The size of the labor pension in case of loss of a breadwinner is determined using the appropriate formulas. The Law on Labor Pensions provides for seven different cases of assigning this pension and, accordingly, seven formulas are specified. These formulas differ depending on the following circumstances:

  1. is the pension granted for general principles(an adult disabled family member and a child of the breadwinner who has another parent) or taking into account other circumstances;
  2. whether the child’s loss of a breadwinner is associated with the loss of both or only parents;
  3. was the breadwinner established? insurance part old age labor pension or disability labor pension.

Table 5.3. Formulas for determining the size of a labor pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner

The formulas by which the size of survivor's pensions are determined are based on the already known formula of the labor disability pension (Table 5.3).

Additionally, another value was introduced - KN - the number of disabled family members of the breadwinner. The size of the labor pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner is determined based on the amount of the estimated pension capital. For children who have lost both parents, the total value of the calculated pension capital is the sum of the pension capital of each parent. To determine the size of the survivor's pension for the children of a deceased single mother, the amount of the estimated pension capital is doubled.

The formula for calculating a survivor's pension for children who have lost both parents is more complex (Table 5.4).

Table 5.4. Formula for calculating survivor's pension for children who have lost both parents

When determining the number of disabled family members, taking into account which the size of the labor pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner is determined, all disabled family members entitled to the specified pension are taken into account, including persons who are recipients of another pension.

The peculiarity of establishing a fixed basic size of a labor pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner is that (unlike a labor pension for old age or disability) there is slight differentiation depending on the subjects covered. The Law on Labor Pensions provides for two possible values ​​for establishing a fixed base amount: 100% or 50% of the basic, total fixed base amount. From January 1, 2010, it was 2,562 rubles. per month. In subsequent years, this amount was indexed. All fixed basic dimensions have been increased accordingly (Table 5.5).

Table 5.5. Fixed base size disability labor pension

The fixed basic size of the labor pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner for persons living in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas is increased by the corresponding regional coefficient established by the Government of the Russian Federation depending on the region (locality) of residence. The procedure for applying the regional coefficient is specified in paragraph 4 of Chapter II.

The Law on Labor Pensions provides for some features related to the formation of the funded part of the labor pension for the breadwinner - the insured person.

If the breadwinner was one of the persons included in the system for forming the funded part of the labor pension, then the following rules are provided.

If the death of the breadwinner - the insured person occurred before the assignment of the funded part of the old-age labor pension to him or before the recalculation of the amount of this part of the specified pension (taking into account additional pension savings), the funds recorded in the special part of his individual personal account are paid in in the prescribed manner to his relatives, which include his children, including adopted children, spouse, parents (adoptive parents), brothers, sisters, grandparents and grandchildren, regardless of age and working capacity, in the following sequence:

  • first of all - to children, including adopted children, spouses and parents (adoptive parents);
  • secondly - to brothers, sisters, grandparents and grandchildren.

Payment of funds to the relatives of the deceased breadwinner of one line is carried out in equal shares. Relatives of the second priority have the right to receive funds accounted for in a special part of the individual personal account of the deceased breadwinner only in the absence of relatives of the first priority.

The total amount of payments does not include funds (part of the funds) of maternal (family) capital aimed at forming the funded part of the labor pension, and income from their investment.

The procedure for distributing pension savings may be different if the insured person submitted an application defining a different procedure. The law provides insured persons with this opportunity. Insured persons who are included in the system for forming the funded part of the labor pension have the right at any time, by submitting an appropriate application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, to identify specific persons from among provided for by law on labor pensions or from among other persons to whom such payment may be made, and also establish in what shares the above funds should be distributed among them.

If the insured person does not have the specified relatives, these funds are taken into account as part of the reserve of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for compulsory pension insurance. Wherein special part the individual personal account of the insured person is closed.

Dimensions state pensions on the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner

Table 5.6. Amount of state pension in case of loss of a breadwinner for family members of conscripts

IN in this case The same concepts of military injury and illness received during military service are applied as when establishing disability (assigning a state disability pension).

This type of insurance pension is essentially compensation from the state for lost funds to family members of the deceased.

Size pension provision depends on several components taken into account when assigning it. The period for reviewing documents is ten days from the date of submission of all necessary certificates or within ten working days from the date of receipt of the last missing document.

Period, for which this type of insurance pension is established, depends on several factors, including may be indefinite.

Who receives a survivor's pension?

Recipients of the survivor's pension payment are: disabled family members who were dependent on him. These include:

  • Immediate relatives (children, sisters, brothers, grandchildren):
    • under 18 years of age;
    • over 18 years of age:
      • but who managed to receive disability by this time;
      • or admitted to day department and continuing education up to 23 years of age;
    • Parents, spouse, grandparents, if they have reached the age of a pension recipient or have lost their ability to work.

Exception are adults family members caring for children or the closest relatives of the deceased, under 14 years of age. Such persons entitled to survivor's benefits include parents, spouse, and grandparents. At the same time, they must comply with the requirement that they do not have an employment relationship.

It is worth noting that adoptive parents and adopted children have the right to insurance payment on a par with parents and children. In the case of a stepfather and stepmother, the condition of raising their stepson or stepdaughter for at least 5 years must be met.

Conditions of appointment and payment

The reason for granting a survivor's pension is the loss of a breadwinner or the onset of insured event, which can be associated not only with death, but also with the unknown absence of the insured person. The latter must be documented at the legislative level, as a result of which a corresponding document is drawn up. In some cases, this fact must be confirmed in court.

Insurance payment for the loss of a breadwinner may be assigned when two conditions are met:

  • the deceased had at least one day for which contributions to the Pension Fund were paid;
  • there are no illegal actions on the part of the future pension recipient that resulted in the death of the insured person.

It is worth noting that if the breadwinner does not have at least one day of insurance experience, persons entitled to this will be assigned in accordance with Law No. 166-FZ of December 15, 2001. “On state pension provision in the Russian Federation”.

How to calculate survivor's pension using the new formula

The amount of insurance payment for the loss of a breadwinner can be determined as follows:

SPspk = IPK x SPK + FV,

  • SPspk- the amount of the survivor's pension;
  • IPC- the value of the individual pension coefficient of the deceased;
  • SPK- the value of the coefficient on the day of payment;
  • FV- basic (fixed) amount.

In the case where the deceased was previously assigned some other type of insurance pension, or, then to calculate the payment under the SPC, an individual coefficient that has already been used to calculate the pension for this insured person can be used.

In addition, the value IPC can be increased for certain categories of persons:

  • for orphans - on the value of the individual indicator of the second parent;
  • for children of a single mother - twice as much.

An increasing coefficient can be applied to the IPC only if the deceased breadwinner did not apply for an old-age payment if he had the right to it or refused to receive it.

As for the pension, which is set in a fixed amount, for this type of pension it is determined as half the value of the same amount for the age insurance payment. The FV value is subject to annual indexation to the inflation level of the previous year. In 2018 the indicator fixed amount To this species payout is equal to 2491.45 rubles.

Magnitude FV Also can be increased in the following cases:

  • for orphans - twice;
  • for northerners - by the value of the regional coefficient.

Latest news about increases in 2018 (indexation)

This year the government is returning to indexation again pension payments at the inflation rate of the previous year, and not at a fixed percentage adopted during the financial crisis in an amount significantly lower than the real price level, as was the case in 2016.

According to Rosstat, inflation for the past 2017 was within 3 percent. However, in order to ensure the growth of pensions in real terms, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to carry out indexation above inflation and earlier than the statutory deadline.

Thus, in 2018, insurance pensions were indexed January 1 by 3.7%.

What will the survivor's pension be in 2018?

With the adoption of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 “About insurance pensions” The procedure for calculating insurance payments has changed. In 2018, as in the previous two years, the survivor’s pension will depend on the following indicators:

  • number and amount of points, components;
  • length of service of the deceased person, during which he was transferred insurance premiums to your personal account.

Since the main indicators that make up the formula for calculating the required pension provision have been indexed since January 2018, their values ​​were:

  • SPK = 78.58 x 1.037 = 81.49 rubles.
  • FV = 2402.56 x 1.037 = 2491.45 rub.

Number of dialed individual odds, used to calculate payments, are purely individual and depend on the length of service and salary of the particular insured person.

Citizen A.V. Kruglov, born in 1965, worked since 1985. In January 2018, he died suddenly due to severe pneumonia. In Kruglov A.V. there is a son, born in 1996, who currently works at employment contract, not studying, and a daughter, born in 2002, attending school.

In accordance with current legislation The right to receive an insurance payment for the loss of a breadwinner is available to the minor daughter of A.V. Kruglova.

To calculate the pension amount, we will find the values ​​of all indicators that make up the formula for calculating the insurance amount. Over the years of work according to the conversion carried out pension rights in 2015 Kruglov A.V. scored 58 points, for 2015, 2016, 2017 the number of individual coefficients was 2, 2.5 and 2, respectively. In addition, he was awarded an additional 1.8 points for his military service.

The total number of coefficients of the deceased was:

  • 58 + 2 + 2,5 + 2 + 1,8 = 66,3.

Taking into account the values ​​of the other above indicators insurance pension amount for the loss of a breadwinner, assigned to the daughter of Kruglov A.V. from February will be:

  • 66.3 x 81.49 + 2491.45 = 7894.24 rubles.

What is the minimum amount of insurance payments?

An inexorable rule for assigning pension benefits is the fact that whatever the amount established pension, He cannot be below the subsistence level established in the recipient's region of residence. Accordingly, in different territories the value minimum payment is different.

In addition, if the pension amount is set below the minimum, it will be set to the subsistence level.

In this case, an application from a citizen is not required, since the corresponding column of the application form regarding the possible establishment of social benefits is filled out during the initial application. The period for assigning the additional payment is equal to the period of payment of the pension.

When can recalculation take place?

When the territorial body of the Pension Fund receives information that entails a change in the amount of the survivor’s pension, specialists recalculate the amount paid.

Recalculation is carried out in the following cases:

  • when providing additional documents influencing the value of the individual coefficient - from the 1st day next month after writing the application;
  • in case of receipt of data to the personal account of the insured person in the system individual accounting on the amount of insurance contributions not taken into account at the time of assignment of a pension - from August 1 of the year following the assignment of a pension.

In the latter case, this recalculation option is possible once, since we're talking about about insurance payments of the deceased breadwinner. Moreover, it is established by law maximum size pension coefficient:

  • 3.0 - in the case when the insured person formed pension savings at the expense of insurance contributions for compulsory pension insurance;
  • 1.875 - in the absence of pension savings within the framework of compulsory pension insurance.

The features of recalculation of this type of insurance pension include the following:

  • for orphans the size of the pension is determined based on the sum of the individual coefficients of each deceased parent, not taken into account on the day of payment;
  • children of a deceased single mother the amount of payment is determined based on the individual pension coefficient of the parent, not taken into account as of the day of death, doubled.

Until what age is a survivor's pension paid?

Deadline for establishing a survivor's pension depends on the recipient category:

  • children, brothers, sisters, grandchildren - until they reach the age of majority or until they are 23 years old if they continue their full-time studies;
  • for those caring for the breadwinner's children - until the children turn 14 years old or until the family member caring for them starts working;
  • children, brothers, sisters who become disabled before reaching adulthood - indefinitely;
  • spouse, parents, grandparents retirement age- indefinitely.

The general rule for the period for establishing the payment of a survivor's pension is the recognition of the pension recipient as disabled. The period for calculating the payment amount may be indefinite.

If a child who is a full-time student works until the age of 23, the pension payment will not be terminated. However, this fact will affect the termination of the monthly social supplement, if one has been established.

Procedure for appointment and payment

To establish a survivor's pension, it is necessary to submit following documents:

  • identification documents (passport, registration certificate or residence permit, birth or adoption certificate);
  • compulsory pension insurance card ();
  • death certificate of the breadwinner;
  • documents confirming the insurance experience of the deceased breadwinner ( employment history or certificate of experience);
  • other documents that supplement the main circumstances (being dependent on a deceased breadwinner, absence of able-bodied parents, loss of a source of livelihood).

Persons entitled to survivor's benefits may apply for it at any time after this right arises. The period of such appeal is not limited.

Payment of a pension in connection with the death of a breadwinner, like any type of insurance coverage, is carried out for the current month.
