What benefit indexation coefficient applies to benefits from February 1? What document approved this coefficient? How and which benefits will the coefficient affect? Does indexation increase child benefits? Is the employer obliged to review the amount of benefits and social payments due to employees? You will learn more from this article, and you will also be able to familiarize yourself with the table of benefit indexation coefficients for recent years.

Indexation of benefits: new rules

Some benefits that employers are required to pay to their employees are at a fixed rate. However, they are subject to annual indexation. Therefore, the employer is obliged:

• index benefits on time;
• pay the employee the indexed amount of benefits.

The employer needs to monitor the indexation and correct amount of the following benefits:

• a one-time benefit for women registered in medical institutions in the early stages of pregnancy;
• lump sum benefit for the birth of a child;
• minimum amount of child care benefit;
• funeral benefit.

The indexation coefficient is not taken out of thin air. It must be approved based on the forecast level of inflation in the federal law on the federal budget for the next year. However, we note that the effect of this norm was previously suspended until January 1, 2017 by Federal Law dated April 6, 2015 No. 68-FZ. We expressed our concerns about this in the article “”.

Federal Law No. 68-FZ dated 04/06/2015 also stipulates that the indexation coefficient for each next year is established from February 1 of the current year by the Government of the Russian Federation based on the consumer price growth index for the previous year.

At the end of 2016, two important federal laws were adopted that determined new rules for indexing benefits from January 1, 2017, namely:

• Federal Law No. 455-FZ dated December 19, 2016 – extended the provisions on the suspension of indexation in accordance with the budget law until January 1, 2018;
• Federal Law No. 444-FZ of December 19, 2016 - approved the rule on indexation of benefits based on rising consumer prices in the laws establishing the procedure for calculating benefits (Federal Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ, Federal Law of January 12, 1996 No. 8-FZ ).

From February 1, 2017, benefits must be indexed to the actual growth rate of consumer prices for 2016. The Government of the Russian Federation approved this indexation coefficient in the amount of 1.054. This coefficient is recorded in the following documents:

• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 19, 2017 No. 36 “On approval of the indexation coefficient from February 1, 2017 of the amount of a fixed payment to the insurance pension”;
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2017 No. 35 “On approval of the consumer price growth index for 2016 to establish the cost of one pension coefficient from February 1, 2017”;
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 26, 2017 No. 88 “On approval of the amount of indexation of payments, benefits and compensation in 2017.”

There has been no indexation of child benefits since January 1, 2017. Therefore, in January 2017, employees were paid child benefits in the same amounts as in 2016.

However, from February 1, 2017, “children’s” benefits must be indexed to the coefficient of actual consumer price growth for 2016. This is provided for in Article 4.2 of Federal Law No. 68-FZ dated 04/06/2015. The Government of the Russian Federation approved this indexation coefficient in the amount of 1.054. This coefficient is recorded in the following documents:

• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of January 19, 2017 No. 36 “On approval of the indexation coefficient from February 1, 2017 of the amount of a fixed payment to the insurance pension”;
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2017 No. 35 “On approval of the consumer price growth index for 2016 to establish the cost of one pension coefficient from February 1, 2017”;
• Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated January 26, 2017 No. 88 “On approval of the amount of indexation of payments, benefits and compensation in 2017.”

1,054 – indexation coefficient

from February 1, 2017, “children’s” benefits will be paid taking into account the new coefficient established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Taking into account the new coefficient, from February 1, 2017, “children’s” benefits will be paid in the amounts shown in the table below.

In districts and localities where regional wage coefficients have been established, “children’s” benefits (both in January 2017 and from February 1, 2017) will be higher, since they need to be additionally increased by the amount of the increasing coefficient (Article 5 of Law No. 81-FZ).

Features of indexation of child care benefits

The minimum basic amount of child care benefits is established by Part 1 of Article 15 of the Law of May 19, 1995 No. 81-FZ and is:

• when caring for the first child - 1500 rubles. per month;
• when caring for the second and subsequent children - 3000 rubles. per month.

These amounts are indexed each year by the appropriate coefficient. Taking into account all indexation coefficients, as of February 1, 2016, the minimum amounts of child care benefits were:

• 2908.62 rub. – caring for the first child;
• 5817, 24 rub. – caring for the second and subsequent children.

However, from July 1, 2016, the minimum wage increased to 7,500 rubles. And it turned out that if you calculate the allowance for caring for one child from the minimum wage, then the amount of the benefit would be more than 2908.62 rubles. Namely - 3000 rubles. (RUB 7,500 x 40%). In this regard, from July 1, 2016, it was impossible to pay less than 3,000 rubles per child. However from February 1, 2017, it is necessary to index not 3000 rubles, but 2908.62 rubles. Therefore, in the table, the child care allowance from February 1, 2017 is presented as 3065.69.

Benefit for registration in early pregnancy

This benefit is supposed to be paid once. Women who:

• registered in medical institutions before 12 weeks of pregnancy;
• have the right to maternity benefits (Article 9 of Law No. 81-FZ).

This benefit will be paid in a new amount from February 1, 2017 – 613.14 rubles. However, a controversial situation is possible. Let's give an example.

Allowance for registration in 2017

The employee goes on maternity leave from February 2, 2017. On January 26, 2017, the woman submitted to the accounting department a certificate from the antenatal clinic stating that in 2016 she registered in the early stages of pregnancy (up to 12 weeks). How much benefits should I pay for early registration?

The benefit for registration in the early stages of pregnancy should be paid in addition to the maternity benefit (Article 9 of Law No. 81-FZ). Therefore, the benefit for registration in the early stages of pregnancy must be transferred in the amount that is established on the start date of maternity leave. In our case, the woman went on maternity leave on February 2, 2017. Therefore, the registration allowance should be paid in the amount of 613.14 rubles (including indexation by a factor of 1.054). If the start of maternity leave was in January 2017, then the benefit would be in a smaller amount - 581.73 rubles.

One-time benefit for the birth of a child

One of the parents has the right to a lump sum benefit upon the birth of a child. If two or more children were born, then the benefit is paid for each of them (Article 11 of Law No. 81-FZ). A one-time benefit for the birth of a child is assigned if the application is made no later than six months from the date of birth of the child (Article 17.2 of Law No. 81-FZ). Due to the indexation of benefits from February 1, 2017, an ambiguous situation may arise when assigning.

Situation

The child was born in 2016, and the woman came to the accounting department in February 2017 to receive a one-time benefit for the birth of a child. How much benefits should I pay?

The amount of a lump sum benefit for the birth of a child should be calculated on the date of birth, and not on the date of application for benefits (FSS letter dated January 17, 2006 No. 02-18/07-337). In our case, the child was born in 2016, so the benefit amount will be 15,512.65 rubles. R. (excluding indexation by a factor of 1.054). Pay a one-time benefit for the birth of a child in the indexed amount (16,350.33 rubles) if the child is born from February 1, 2017.

Monthly allowance for child care up to 1.5 years

We described the minimum monthly child care benefit as of February 2017 above. New sizes:

• RUB 3,065.69 – when caring for the first child;
• 6131, 37 rub. - when caring for a second child.

This benefit is not limited to a maximum amount. However, the amount of average daily earnings on the basis of which child care benefits are calculated is limited.

It has been established that the amount of average daily earnings for calculating benefits cannot be greater than the sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating insurance premiums for the two years preceding the year of parental leave, divided by 730 (Part 3.3 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ ). Therefore, to calculate the maximum amount of average daily earnings, the following formula is used:

Maximum average daily earnings = sum of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating Social Insurance contributions for the two previous years / 730

Therefore, if a woman’s vacation begins in 2017, then in the calculations we should take the values ​​of the maximum values ​​of the base for calculating contributions to the Social Insurance Fund for 2015 and 2016.

In 2015, the maximum value of the base was 670,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated December 4, 2014 No. 1316), and in 2016 – 718,000 rubles. (Resolution of the Government of the Russian Federation dated November 26, 2015 No. 1265).

Taking into account the indicated values ​​​​for the marginal base, in 2017 the maximum value of the average daily earnings for calculating the monthly care allowance is 1901.37 rubles. (670,000 rub. + 718,000 rub.) / 730.

1901.37 rub.

maximum daily earnings for calculating benefits in 2017

Now let’s calculate the maximum average earnings for a whole month. For these purposes, we multiply the average daily earnings by the average monthly number of calendar days - 30.4 (Part 5.1 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). In 2017, the maximum average monthly earnings for calculating benefits will be 57,801.64 rubles. (RUR 1,901.37 × 30.4).

The amount of the monthly childcare benefit for a child up to 1.5 years old is generally equal to 40% of the average monthly earnings (Part 1, Article 15 of Law No. 81-FZ). Therefore, in 2017, the maximum amount of monthly benefit per child will be 23,120.66 rubles. (RUB 57,801.64 × 40%). Moreover, this size is valid both in January and February 2017. The February indexation of benefits by a factor of 1.054 did not affect him in any way.

from February 1, 2017, the amount of child care benefit paid for a full month cannot be less

RUB 3,065.69

Maternity benefits are not indexed annually. That is, from February 1, 2017, maternity benefits have not increased. However, please note that the maximum benefit amount has increased since 1 January 2017, as the new maximum average daily earnings must be taken into account when calculating benefits from the beginning of 2017. Let me explain.

Maternity benefits are paid in a lump sum and in total for the entire period of maternity leave, which is (Part 1, Article 10 of Law No. 255-FZ):

• 140 days (in general);
• 194 days (with multiple pregnancies);
• 156 days (for complicated births).

Maximum maternity benefit

To calculate the maximum amount of maternity benefit from January 2017, you need to take into account the maximum amount of average daily earnings. It is calculated using the same formula as when calculating child care benefits for children up to 1.5 years old (Part 3.3 of Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ). That is, in 2017 it will also be 1901.37 rubles. (670,000 rubles + 718,000 rubles) / 730. Consequently, from 2017, the maximum amounts of maternity benefits reimbursed from the Social Insurance Fund are:

• RUR 266,191.8 (1901.37 rubles × 140 days) – in the general case;
• RUR 368,865.78 (RUR 1,901.37 × 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
• RUB 296,613.72 (RUR 1,901.37 × 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.

From February 1, 2017, the maximum amounts of maternity benefits have not changed. The indexation coefficient did not affect these values.

Minimum maternity benefit

When calculating maternity benefits, the average daily earnings cannot be less than the value determined by the following formula (Part 1.1, Article 14 of Law No. 255-FZ):

Minimum average daily earnings = minimum wage at the beginning of vacation x 24 / 730

From January 1, 2017, the federal minimum wage is 7,500 rubles. Therefore, if maternity leave began in 2017 (from February 1 to June 30), then the minimum average daily earnings for calculating maternity benefits should be taken equal to 246.58 rubles. (RUB 7,500 × 24 / 730). This value is used for further calculation if it turns out to be greater than the actual average daily earnings of the employee. The minimum amounts of maternity benefits in January 2017 are as follows:

• RUB 34,521.20 (246.58 rubles × 140 days) – in the general case;
• RUB 47,836.52 (246.58 rubles x 194 days) – in case of multiple pregnancy;
• RUB 38,466.48 (RUR 246.58 x 156 days) – for complicated childbirth.

The minimum maternity benefits have also remained unchanged since February 1, 2017. They have remained the same sizes.

The Russian Pension Fund reported this on Monday. At the moment, EDV is the largest social payment in Russia: more than 15.4 million citizens receive it, including military veterans, disabled people, Heroes of the Soviet Union and Russia, Heroes of Socialist Labor.

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation clarified that the fund’s annual budget allocated 450.6 billion rubles for the payment of EDV, taking into account indexation.

In addition, the fund will index the set of social services included in the payment, which can be provided at your choice - in kind or in cash. It includes services to the population such as the provision of necessary medicines, vouchers for sanatorium treatment and free travel on suburban railway transport.

Pension indexation

Let us recall that at the end of December 2017, Vladimir Putin signed laws that, from January 1, increased the minimum wage and put into effect a benefit program for families with first-born children. At the same time, the president signed a decree that extended the moratorium on the formation of the funded part of the pension until 2020.

The period for payment of funded pensions was also extended. This initiative was promoted by the Ministry of Labor, noting that this measure will gradually bring the expected period of payment of funded pensions “close to the real life expectancy of its future recipients.”

At the same time, the insurance part of the pension was indexed by 3.7% from January 1, 2018, but it will only apply to non-working pensioners. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation emphasized that a citizen may be refused to receive it due to an insufficient number of accumulated pension points or a lack of minimum work experience.

“To assign an insurance pension, a number of conditions must be met: a minimum insurance period, age for women is 55 years old, for men - 60 years old, and the presence of a minimum amount of pension points. If a citizen does not have enough insurance experience or pension points, then he is assigned a social pension,” TASS quotes a message from the PFR press service.

The insurance pension is assigned five years earlier than the social pension, which is paid to women upon reaching 60 years of age, and to men at 65 years of age. Back in 2017, the head of the Ministry of Labor, Maxim Topilin, reported that the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was forced to refuse to pay citizens an insurance pension due to non-compliance with the parameters.

“Already in 2017, there were cases when the Pension Fund was forced to refuse to grant people an old-age insurance pension due to the fact that they did not have enough insurance experience and pension points. Such people are assigned a social pension. And if its amount is below the subsistence level, then they will be given an additional payment and their pension will be extended to the required level,” said the Minister of Labor and Social Protection.

According to Topilin, the average old-age insurance pension in Russia is 1.65 times higher than the subsistence level of a pensioner. “And in the future it will increase,” he promised.

Compared to 2018, the cost of one pension point increased by 10 rubles - to 81.49 rubles. Due to indexation, the average pension in Russia increased to 14,075 rubles (except for). The size of the social pension in Russia was 9,045 rubles, the insurance pension - 14,075 rubles, and the pensions of non-working pensioners - 14,329 rubles.

• RIA News

In Moscow, the minimum pension increased from 14.5 thousand to 17.5 thousand rubles.

“From January 1, 2018, the minimum pension was raised by 3 thousand rubles, payments to veterans were doubled, and basic benefits for large and low-income families were raised from two to five times. Most received them before the New Year. These are the Muscovites who most need help in the city,” said Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin.

Amendments to the Family Code

On Monday, the first deputy chairman of the State Duma Committee for the Development of Civil Society, Ivan Sukharev, said that he was preparing amendments to the Family Code, which would make the state responsible for.

In a conversation with RT, Sukharev said that the amount of alimony paid before reaching adulthood should be at least 10 thousand rubles.

“Unfortunately, today in Russia there are more and more parents who do not receive child support. And these are not only women, but also men. Most often, they live more than modestly and cannot adequately support their children. Not only can they clothe them, but they can’t even feed them properly! But this is our future. Such people need to be provided with state support,” the parliamentarian said.

At the moment, according to Russian legislation, the absence of valid reasons for non-payment of funds for the maintenance of minor children is punishable by correctional labor for up to one year, arrest for up to three months, or imprisonment for up to one year.

Since January, Moscow has been increasing the size of the city standard for non-working pensioners, as well as a number of social benefits. the site tells how much social support will increase in the capital and who will receive increased payments.

Sergei Sobyanin called social support for Muscovites a priority for the coming years. Pensions, benefits, assistance to large and low-income families - these are just a few of the areas on which a significant portion of the city’s money will be spent from January 1, 2018. First of all, the increase will affect those who need social support more than others.

The amounts of increased payments were determined taking into account the opinions of residents of the capital. Sergei Sobyanin discussed what measures need to be taken to improve the lives of Muscovites during meetings with pensioners, veterans, large families, single mothers and parents of disabled children. Proposals were made by the Moscow City Council of Veterans, representatives of large families and other public organizations. The Moscow Mayor included in the draft budget exactly the proposals that were made at these meetings.

Help for pensioners and veterans

In Moscow, the minimum pension amount will increase. The mayor of Moscow supported the proposal of the veterans council to immediately increase it by three thousand rubles. The city social standard will be 17,500 rubles. Already at the end of December, almost 1.4 million city residents will receive an increase in their pensions.

“If you take the last seven years, we started with 10 thousand rubles. Now there are already 17.5 thousand. That is, we annually increase the size of this minimum pension by almost a thousand rubles. And in the future we will try to increase it as much as possible,” said Sergei Sobyanin.

Monthly compensation to labor veterans, home front workers and victims of political repression will more than double from 2018.

In addition, city benefits to veterans and participants in the defense of Moscow will double. They will be paid eight thousand rubles monthly instead of four thousand.

Additional compensation is provided for capital centenarians. Those who will turn 101 or older next year will receive 15 thousand rubles at a time. Married couples will also receive one-time cash payments on the occasion of their anniversaries. Those who celebrated the 50th anniversary of marriage will receive 20 thousand rubles (in 2017, the payment was 10 thousand rubles), the 55th anniversary and 60th anniversary - 25 thousand (in 2017 - 11 thousand and 12 thousand rubles, respectively), the 65th anniversary and 70th anniversary - 30 thousand (in 2017 - 13 thousand and 15 thousand rubles, respectively).

Monthly compensation to pensioners will double in exchange for free travel on public transport, as well as on commuter trains.

Support for low-income and large families

The amount of child benefits for low-income families will increase from three to 6.25 times. The increase in these payments will affect almost 300 thousand young Muscovites.

Payments to low-income single mothers and fathers, military personnel undergoing military service for a child under three years of age will increase to 15 thousand rubles, and the amount of benefits for children over three years of age and benefits to large families and families raising disabled children will increase in twice. Monthly assistance for caring for a disabled child under the age of 18 or a disabled child under the age of 23 will amount to 12 thousand rubles (in 2017 - six thousand rubles). The same amount will be paid for a child under 18 years of age living in a family in which both or the only parent do not work and are disabled people of group I or II.

In the Moscow budget, the growth of social expenditures is twice as fast as the growth of other items. It is planned to allocate 430 billion rubles for social needs in 2018. Part of these funds will go to increase salaries for social workers.

From 2011 to 2017, budget spending on the social sector in Moscow has already been almost doubled. At the same time, the targeting of benefits was strengthened. For example, spending on subsidies and benefits for housing and communal services increased three times, nine times on providing food and clothing assistance to the poor, and five times on providing disabled people with technical means of rehabilitation.

At the same time, the city launched a system of benefits for paying contributions for major repairs, which covered about four million Muscovites. As part of the reform of ground public transport, beneficiaries received the right to free travel on commercial buses.
