How will the indexation of pensions in Moscow in 2019

In general, the annual process of increasing pensions in Moscow takes place in the same way as in all of Russia - in three stages.

1 . As you know, the indexation of the old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners in 2019 took place not from February 1, as many are used to, but from January 1, as was the case last year. Vladimir Putin outlined the main parameters of the increase in his televised address. The President said that "in 2019, the indexation of old-age pensions will be about 7 percent." On average, the pension will increase by 1,000 rubles per month.

The indexation details were specified by the Pension Fund. As follows from the press service of the Fund, since January 1, 2019, the old-age insurance pension for NON-working pensioners has been indexed by 7.05 percent. This resulted in an average monthly increase in the insurance pension by 1,000 rubles. Working pensioners did not receive this increase. But many pensioners were dissatisfied with the January indexation. After mass appeals to Putin, it was decided to recalculate.

2. From April 1, 2019, in Moscow, as well as throughout Russia, social and state pensions will increase. Putin did not say anything about them in his televised address. The prospects for the growth of social pensions in 2019 were outlined by the Pension Fund itself. So, at first, it was planned to increase social pensions from April 1, 2019 according to the growth index of the pensioner's subsistence minimum for the previous year, namely by 2.4%. But then plans changed. To date, social pensions are planned to be increased by 2.0% from April 1, 2019. Learn more about social pensions

3. In August 2019, insurance pensions for Muscovite pensioners who worked in 2018 will also increase. The maximum increase, most likely, will be the same as before - the cash equivalent of three pension points.

Now let's recall two types of minimum pension in Moscow.

Minimum pension in Moscow in 2019

As you know, older people in Russia cannot receive a pension below the average annual subsistence level for a pensioner in the territory of residence. If the accrued pension turned out to be less than this bar, then the Regional Social Surcharge (RSA) is additionally paid from the budget to the pension.

In 2017, the subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the city of Moscow was set at 11,561 rubles. Thus, the minimum pension in 2017 in Moscow, taking into account the Regional Social Surcharge, was 11,561 rubles.

In 2018, the living wage for a pensioner in Moscow was set at 11,816 rubles.

For 2019, the living wage for a Moscow pensioner is set at 12,115 rubles. Accordingly, such a figure can be considered the minimum pension in the MSC this year.

But this "minimum wage" is set for those pensioners - Muscovites who are registered at the place of stay / place of residence in Moscow for a total of less than 10 years.

There is a different minimum pension for Moscow old-timers. It is adjusted to the City Social Minimum Income Standard.

Supplement to pension in Moscow in 2019 up to the size of the city social standard

The supplement to the pension up to the amount of the City Social Standard (SCS) is established for non-working pensioners and certain categories of working pensioners and disabled people registered at their place of residence in Moscow and having such registration for at least 10 years in total (including the time of residence in the territory annexed to Moscow) .

In 2017, there was no increase in the GSS, and the minimum pension in 2017 in Moscow for recipients of the City Social Standard was 14,500 rubles.

But in 2018, the size of the GSS was increased. Thus, the minimum pension for non-working pensioners with more than 10 years of residence in Moscow amounted to 17,500 rubles this year.

Plans for the growth of the City Social Standard for 2019 have not yet been announced.

Increasing the amount of payments to beneficiaries in Moscow

In 2018, monthly payments to citizens of preferential categories also increased. Below is the size of some of them.

Monthly city cash payments to preferential categories

Payments to families of disabled people and families raising disabled children

Plans to increase payments to beneficiaries for 2019 have not yet been officially announced.

The minimum pension in the Moscow region in 2019

Elderly people in Russia cannot receive a pension below the average annual subsistence level for a pensioner in the territory of residence.

The size of the minimum pension in the Moscow region in 2017 was equal to the subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the territory of the Moscow Region and amounted to 9161 rubles. In 2018, the minimum wage in the Moscow region was increased to 9,527 rubles, and in 2019 it was increased by the amount of inflation - by about 4%.

As a result, the subsistence level for a pensioner on the territory of the Moscow Region, and, accordingly, the size of the minimum pension in the Moscow Region for 2019, was set by the Moscow Regional Duma at 9,908 rubles.

Follow this publication, correspondents of the TOP-RF.ru ​​business information agency will definitely supplement it as soon as more recent news about the increase in pensions in Moscow and the Moscow Region in 2019 appears!

The Russian government quite often names the average amount of the old-age pension for the country. In 2018, this is more than 14 thousand rubles, and in 2019 it will be more than 15 thousand. At the same time, for some reason, they forget about those elderly citizens who receive the minimum payment. Although it is they who first of all need the support of the state and the growth of pensions to a more worthy level. Unfortunately, in 2019 the situation of such pensioners will not improve much, despite the promises of officials to increase pensions in the country by a thousand rubles a month. What will be the minimum old-age pension in the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic from January 1, 2019 for non-working pensioners, how much will it increase compared to 2018. We will learn about the life of Russian pensioners on a specific example of this region.

How is the minimum age pension calculated?

Strictly speaking, Russian legislation does not contain such a concept as a minimum guaranteed pension. However, in practice, the minimum old-age pension still exists, and it is determined indirectly through other norms of the law.

The main of these norms says that the old-age pension in Russia cannot be lower than the subsistence level of a pensioner.

Such a living wage is determined by each region independently. What is characteristic, there is no single method for its determination. The regions take as a guideline the real statistics of the cost of the consumer basket for pensioners. Then some regions and republics include future price increases in the Rosstat data, while others do not.

Be that as it may, each region of Russia is obliged to establish its own living wage for a pensioner on its territory before the start of the next year.

Then the second important norm of the law comes into force. She says that those pensioners for whom the Pension Fund calculated the amount of pension payment below the subsistence level are entitled to a special surcharge.

This additional payment is called social, it can be financed both by the all-Russian budget and the budget of the region itself. It all depends on the level at which the regional authorities set the subsistence minimum for a pensioner. If it is lower or equal to the national one, funding comes only from the federal treasury. If the regional indicator exceeds the national average, funding comes from the local budget.

In general, in Russia, the living wage for a pensioner for 2019 is 8,846 rubles.

The minimum old-age pension in Nalchik and the KBR from January 1, 2019

The republican authorities of Kabardino-Balkaria have set the subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the region for 2019 at the level 8 846 rubles. Local law dated October 1, 2018 No. directly ties the subsistence level of a pensioner in the republic to the all-Russian level. This value will be the sum of the minimum old-age pension in the region in 2019.

In 2018, the level of the minimum pension in the KBR is 8,726 rubles (also the all-Russian level). The increase in pensions for recipients of the minimum benefit is, therefore, 120 rubles.

The indicated amount - 8,846 rubles - will be the minimum pension only for non-working pensioners. The law proceeds from the fact that if a pensioner works or receives some other income besides a pension, then he is not entitled to a social supplement. Even if the pension is below the subsistence level, the person as a whole receives an income above this amount and without additional payment.

But what about the one thousand rubles increase promised by the state?

Agitating Russians for raising the retirement age, officials very often said that the pensions of existing pensioners would increase significantly in 2019 thanks to this measure. In general, for the year, pensioners will receive 12 thousand rubles more, which means that the increase per month will immediately amount to a thousand rubles.

Unfortunately, these words turned out to be rather sly and not entirely reliable.

It was about the average pension in the country. It is believed that in 2018 it is equal to 14.1 thousand rubles (sometimes they call the amount 14.4 thousand - the officials themselves are confused). In January 2019, it will happen in Russia by 7.05%. After increasing the average pension by this percentage, it will indeed grow by a thousand rubles.

However, the problem is that for those who receive a pension below the average, this seven percent increase will mean not a thousand rubles at all, but a much more modest amount.

Unfortunately, recipients of minimum pensions will get nothing or practically nothing from this increase. For most of them, after indexing by 7.05%, the amount of the pension will still be at a level below the subsistence level. The only thing that will lead to a slight increase in the payment is an increase in this level in the region where the recipient of the minimum old-age pension lives.

In the Kabardino-Balkarian Republic, as we have just found out, the increase will be a modest 120 rubles.

12/23/2018, Sasha Bukashka

The minimum old-age pension is the minimum that should be paid to an elderly person who has retired on a well-deserved rest. Everyone is interested in what minimum social security he can count on at the end of his days. And taking into account the fact that the pension legislation in our country is rather confusing, it is not at all easy to find the answer to this question. In the article we will tell you what the minimum old-age pension is in 2019, and who is entitled to it.

What is the minimum pension

In the current Russian legislation, there is no official concept of “the size of the minimum pension”. However, the concept of long-term socio-economic development of the Russian Federation for the period up to 2020, approved by Decree of the Government of Russia dated November 17, 2008 No. 1662-r, provides that the lower level of old-age pension is set not lower than the subsistence level of a pensioner in the region of his residence. Taking this into account, the subsistence minimum can be conditionally considered the size of the minimum old-age pension.

So, what is the minimum pension in Russia now, based on the data presented?

The amount of the subsistence minimum for a pensioner is established in Russia as a whole and in each subject of the Russian Federation. Accordingly, for residents of different regions, the minimum size of the old-age pension may vary. Even in Moscow and St. Petersburg, old-age pensions differ markedly.

Who receives the minimum old-age pension

The recipients of the minimum pension in Russia are, as a rule, citizens who have a work record that is insufficient to receive a full-fledged labor pension. That is, those that did not work out.

For today, 2019, all those whose age is less than 10 years old are assigned a social pension - a kind of allowance designed to financially support people who do not have an earned income in old age. The right to receive a minimum old-age pension arises for a person under the combination of the following conditions:

  • reaching a certain age: for men - 70 years, for women - 65 years (since 2019, this age has been raised as part of the framework, before it was 5 years lower);
  • lack of work or other activities during which the person is subject to compulsory pension insurance.

Please note that the law sets a higher age for eligibility for social benefits than for ordinary old-age pensioners.

If you have experience, what is the minimum pension

To receive an old-age pension, you need to reach a certain age, have at least a minimum work experience and the required number of points. In 2019, these parameters are:

  • 65 years for men and 60 for women (the age has been increased since 2019);
  • experience - 10 years;
  • 16.2 points - in the 1st half of 2019, 18.6 points - in the 2nd half of 2019.

It must be taken into account that when calculating the length of service, only the time of official employment, in which payments to the Pension Fund took place, is taken into account.

The amount of the pension directly depends on the length of service and the number of accumulated points. If they are minimal, then the size of the pension will also be minimal and depend on the pensioner's subsistence minimum.

Minimum pension in Russia in 2019: table by region

The subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the whole of the Russian Federation since 01/01/2019 is 8846 rubles per month.

The minimum pension in Moscow in 2018 was 17,500 rubles for non-working elderly people who have lived in the capital for at least 10 years (taking into account the application of the Moscow city standard). For other Moscow pensioners, the minimum wage is calculated from the regional level and last year amounted to 11,816 rubles per month. As of January 1, 2019, a new subsistence minimum for a pensioner in Moscow was set at 12,115 rubles.

The highest minimum pension is received by pensioners living in the Chukotka and Nenets Autonomous Okrugs (19,000 and 17,956 rubles respectively), in Kamchatka (16,543 rubles) and in the Magadan Region (15,460 rubles), due to the high cost of food in these regions .

The minimum pension in St. Petersburg is equal to the average for Russia and in 2019 is 8846 rubles. According to PFR forecasts, in 2019 its size should have increased to 9,476 rubles, but so far this has not happened.

The amount of the social pension for the disabled

The social pension is paid in the form of an allowance due to the low amount. Usually disabled people, disabled children and disabled dependents due to the loss of a breadwinner are eligible.

The size of this type of pension differs by category and is set annually on April 1 in a fixed amount. Since April 1, 2018, social pensions have been indexed by 2.9% and in 2019 they amount to:

  • RUB 5180.24 - disabled people of the 2nd group (except for disabled children);
  • RUB 5180.24 - children under 18 (up to 23 with full-time education) who have lost their breadwinner - one of their parents;
  • RUB 12,432.44 - disabled people of the 1st group since childhood, disabled children;
  • RUB 10,360.52 - disabled people of the 2nd group since childhood;
  • RUB 10,360.52 - disabled people of the 1st group;
  • 10 360, 52 rub. - children under 18 (up to 23, full-time students) who have lost both parents;
  • RUB 4403.24 - invalids of the 3rd group.

Moreover, if the size of the social pension is below the regional subsistence level of the pensioner, then a social supplement will be assigned.

Indexation of social old-age pension in 2019

We have already figured out that the size of the minimum pension is equal to the subsistence minimum for a pensioner in a particular region. Hence follows the answer to the question about the indexation of such payments.

It is not indexed like other pensions. But the regions can annually revise the cost of living (which they do). It is growing little by little, and the minimum pension is growing along with it. Of course, this can hardly be called fair growth. For example, in St. Petersburg, this indicator increased by almost 123 rubles from 1 to 3 quarters of 2018 - from 8831.30 to 8954.10 rubles. But, nevertheless, there is movement.

When can the pension increase?

Pensions can be increased in three cases:

  • when indexing. The coefficient is set by the Government of the Russian Federation at the beginning of each year;
  • through recalculation. For working pensioners, it is made annually on 01.08, for non-working - at the request of the pensioner, if there are grounds for recalculation;
  • by increasing the regional subsistence minimum for pensioners. The increase occurs annually from 01.01.

It follows from this that the next increase after 2019 can only be on 01/01/2020.

Leveling system in action

Despite any reforms being carried out in Russia, the system of equalization in matters of social security still exists. Accordingly, a person who has not worked all his life and has not paid taxes, having reached a certain age, can apply for a monthly subsidy from the state in the amount of the subsistence minimum for a pensioner in the region. Maybe it's humane. That's just, probably, a shame to those pensioners who have worked all their lives in hard, but low-paid work, and receive almost the same amount as a result.

In the light of the negative trends in the Russian economy that have been dragging on for several years, citizens are in no hurry to increase their consumer baskets - it is obvious that the crisis has hit the wallets of Russians with tangible force. It is known that the state in 2018 will again have gaps - and, in this regard, a number of analysts expressed their disappointing forecasts regarding the increase in standards of social payments. This topic worries Russian pensioners the most. What will be the pension in 2018 and are there any prerequisites for increasing the minimum benefit? Let's consider the main theses.

How do they promise to increase the minimum pension from January 1, 2018?

“Minimum pension” is an absolutely conditional term in the legislation of the Russian Federation, and implies the amount that is paid monthly to people whose length of service and age meets pension standards, including those who do not receive other types of pension benefits.

The amount of the subsistence minimum is calculated from the parameters for the current year, the level of price growth for, as well as other indicators of the economic state of the state. In each region of the Russian Federation, the living wage standard has different values, and if the minimum pension does not reach its level, the shortfall is subsidized by funds from the regional treasury.

It is necessary to differentiate the question of the minimum in 2018 by category of accrual for citizens:

The insurance pension (by age) implies a well-deserved rest for women after 55 years and for men - after 60 years, if they have at least 7 years (until 2024 this standard will increase to 15 years). 8,703 rubles - this is the minimum that beneficiaries of an insurance pension can count on in 2018. From January 1, the new year, Moscow pensioners are promised to pay twice as much - 17,500 rubles.

Social pensions are benefits paid regularly to those citizens who do not receive monthly insurance payments, but need state support for certain reasons (in case of disability, loss of a breadwinner, old age in the absence). In 2018, the government promises to index this type of benefits by 3.7%. And since April of the new year, the size of the social pension is expected at the level of 8742 rubles.

The minimum insurance pension will also be indexed by 3.7%, and this will be done not in February, as a rule, but from January 1. But for working pensioners, their allowance will remain unchanged until August 2018 - from this month, the recalculation of pensions will take place taking into account the increase in the cost of their labor points.

The size of the minimum Russian pension in 2018 will be calculated according to the formula:

Fixed amount + insurance premium,

where the last value is sum of individual points * cost. Instead of 78.58 rubles of the cost of a point in 2017, it is planned to fix this indicator at the level of 81.49 rubles.

How does the minimum living wage for a pensioner differ across regions of Russia?

The first wave of a widespread increase is planned in January, but not all pensioners will receive the same, even if they have the same achievements in terms of seniority. In addition, local budgets from the new year may introduce additional charges to their residents. How will the size of the minimum pensions differ in the Russian regions?
As already noted, it is the residents of Moscow who can claim one of the highest pensions in the country - their size is set at 17,500 thousand.

The highest level of the minimum pension benefit in the Central District is 9.5-9.6 thousand rubles. recorded in the Voronezh, Kostroma, Smolensk regions, and the lowest - in the Kursk and Bryansk regions, here the minimum pension does not exceed 7.5 thousand rubles.

The indicators will be higher in the North-Western District - for example, in the Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions, the minimum pension will be more than 12.5 thousand rubles, and in the Nenets Autonomous Okrug - more than 18 thousand rubles. At the same time, in St. Petersburg, the Leningrad and Novgorod regions - one of the lowest minimum wages in the region - about 8.8 thousand rubles.

In the Southern District, pensioners of the Volgograd and Rostov regions can count on the largest “minimum wage”, here the amount of benefits is fixed at 9.4 thousand rubles. At the same time, residents of Adygea and Kalmykia receive the smallest amounts in the region - less than 8.7 thousand rubles.

About 9-9.3 thousand rubles - this is the "minimal wage" for residents of the Volga Federal District in Udmurtia, Tatarstan, Kirov region. The Saratov and Orenburg regions lag behind them by an order of magnitude - here the minimum pension is 7.7 thousand rubles.

Sufficiently high rates of minimum pensions are fixed in the Urals district. In the Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrugs, pensioners live on 12-14 thousand rubles, while in the Tyumen and Chelyabinsk regions, the pension will be an order of magnitude lower - about 9.3 thousand rubles.

The highest minimum pension in the Siberian District is 9.7 thousand rubles. recorded in the Republic of Buryatia, Trans-Baikal Territory, Novosibirsk Region. But in Kemerovo, the lowest pension indicators barely reach 8.8 thousand rubles.

The highest levels of pensions are intended for residents of the Far Eastern Federal District. In Yakutia, Kamchatka, Chukotka, pensioners receive benefits in the range of 17-21 thousand rubles. At the same time, the lowest rates are observed in the Amur Region, Primorsky Territory - about 9.6 thousand rubles.

But in the North Caucasus Federal District, pensioners receive benefits - the smallest in the country. In Karachay-Cherkessia, North Ossetia, Ingushetia, Stavropol Territory, these payments are in the range of 7.6-8 thousand rubles.

Since the main income of older people, as a rule, is, a large number of citizens are interested in the issue of the size of the minimum allowance.

Officials often give rather vague answers, promising to raise social standards as soon as the economy becomes more stable and the cost of energy carriers rises on world markets, but they usually add that there is no extra money in the treasury today.

Therefore, in this article we will try to figure out what determines the size of various types of pensions, including by region.

What determines the size of the pension

To date, citizens of the Russian Federation who do not have enough experience to calculate a labor pension are entitled to a minimum old-age pension.

The order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 166 regulates the accrual procedure.

According to this legislative act, the minimum pension in 2019 assigned to the following citizens:

In 2019, the Russian Federation entered into force several innovations in pension law. For example, in the second half of the year, retirees will receive government benefits under a system based on the Australian Pension Law Scheme.

Whether this system will be successful will show life. But experts are already predicting a 10.5% reduction in labor pensions for citizens who were born after 1967 due to a number of incorrect measures regarding pension provision. For example, pension savings frozen three times, although they saved a certain amount of money for the government, at the same time led to a deficit of more than 1.5 billion rubles this year. in the form of extended investments. Because of this, the growth rate of production has decreased, which cannot but affect the payment of social benefits.

Minimum payouts

The legislation of the Russian Federation does not contain the concept of a minimum pension, since its value is determined by various circumstances: the economic situation in the state, inflation, and so on. But at the same time, the state guarantees that the “minimum wage” for old age will be no less for pensioners. Last year, its average value for the regions was equal to 8803 rubles.

It is noteworthy that regions independently set the lower threshold based on the subsistence minimum in their area and charge the appropriate social surcharges.

According to the PF data, average sizes of different types of pensions since February last year are:

Now the minimum pension does not correspond to the subsistence level. For this reason, pensioners are usually paid from regional budgets an amount that covers the difference between the minimum pension and the regional subsistence minimum. The amount of the additional payment depends on the place of residence of the pensioner.

It is accrued after the pensioner submits the relevant application. However, working pensioners are not entitled to a social supplement. To receive benefits, documentation of the established form is required, it must be presented to the PF department at the place of residence.

Raising the minimum pension possible when the following factors occur:

At the beginning of 2015, significant changes were made to the pension legislation - two new types of pension appeared: savings and insurance.

The latter is subdivided into three types:

  • old age: set from 65 and 60 years old for men and women, respectively;
  • : is also charged to citizens who have one of the disability groups, regardless of the presence of the necessary length of service;
  • : paid to full-time students up to 23 years of age, as well as minors.

It is worth noting that if a pensioner is entitled to several insurance benefits, then only the one chosen by him is accrued. Also, since this year, legislation has been significantly tightened in relation to civil servants: every year the retirement age, as well as the minimum length of service, will increase by six months.

The amount of the insurance pension calculated based on the following:

  • total points - 30 or more;
  • - 15 years or more.

The innovations provide that the minimum length of service for accruing an insurance pension will increase by 12 months every year, and the number of points - by 2.4. For example, for those who retired from January 1, 2017, it is enough to work for 8 years, and for those who become a pensioner in 2025, they will need to work for 15 years, and at the same time have at least 30 points. It should be noted that the number of points is directly proportional to the amount of "white" wages.

A slightly different approach is taken to calculate disability insurance pension- when calculating it, the group is taken into account, as well as the type of payments. The minimum amount of the disability allowance is 1.5–3 times higher than the social pension established in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. At the same time, the funded part of the allowance is calculated based on the length of service, deductions from wages, and so on. The amount of the insurance benefit is calculated according to the formula for the working population: the number of pension points × (each year is indexed) + a fixed payment (also indexed).

When calculating the minimum pension, such an economic indicator as living wage established for people of retirement age. This value is directly affected by the level of inflation and rising prices for the consumer basket.

It should be noted that in each Russian region an individual subsistence minimum is established. If the amount of pension payments does not reach this level, then the difference will be paid from the local budget.

The amount of the minimum pension for Russian pensioners in 2019 will be calculated according to this formula: FS + SP, where FS is a fixed amount, SP is an insurance premium.

insurance premium is calculated as follows: the amount of IB (individual points) * the cost of IB (in 2019 they plan to fix this indicator at the level of 87.24 rubles).

In 2019, elderly people who receive insurance pension payments from the state by age can count on an additional payment from the federal or regional budgets up to the level of the pensioner's subsistence level established in the region of residence.

It should be noted that the Government of the Russian Federation annually indexes this type of benefits.

Russians who receive social benefits from the state can also count on an annual increase in pension payments. For this category of citizens, the Government of the Russian Federation has indexed the insurance pension by 7.05% since January 1, 2019.

Regional features

In 2019, the minimum wage for old age in Moscow for non-working pensioners should be at least 17,500 rubles. However, they must live in the capital for at least 10 years. It is noteworthy that the Moscow authorities pay extra to those pensioners whose pension is less than 17,500 rubles. Similar systems operate in other subjects of the Federation.

Determining the size of the “minimum salary” in the Russian Federation is carried out annually based on the subsistence level of a pensioner (VPMP). Non-working pensioners, whose total amount of benefits does not reach the MTPL in their region, are paid a social supplement to the pension up to the amount of the MTPL. Consider this value in different regions of the Russian Federation using the table below.

As you can see, the largest value of VPMP, except for the two capitals, is in Omsk, Crimea and the Krasnodar Territory. This is due to the specific features of these regions.

Exact amount maximum pension at the moment it is not possible to calculate.

A number of factors affect the amount of the pension:

  1. The size of the salary.
  2. Retirement age.
  3. Work experience period.
  4. The amount of deductions in PF.
  5. Regional pension legislation.

According to the innovations, if a man or woman, having reached the appropriate age, does not retire, but continues to work, then they are guaranteed a significant increase in pension, proportional to the period in which they could have been retired. It turns out that the more a citizen works after crossing the retirement age line, the higher the size of his future pension.
