Additional payments to pensioners for children are law. Military pensioners stand for Russia and its armed forces. What documents are needed to recalculate assigned pension payments?

The government decree on a pension supplement for women who gave birth to children before 1990 has already entered into force and it is already possible to apply for a pension recalculation (in August 2017, but later). After recalculation there may be different variants, the pension may increase insignificantly and may even become smaller, in which case you can refuse the pension “in a new way” and receive it according to the old calculation, as before.

The amounts of such additional payments vary and depend on specific circumstances that must be notified to local PF authorities. For example, for a pensioner raising a child who is studying full-time, an increase in his pension is established at a fixed level (this is 1,500 rubles). But, as soon as the student stops studying or reaches 23 years of age, such payments stop

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONS FOR CHILDREN BORN IN THE USSR IN 2017: NEW ORDER

Government representatives developed a corresponding order, thanks to which monthly additional payments to pensions became possible. For such increased pension Women whose children were born before 1990, in other words, during the Soviet era, can count. However, there is one additional condition: the woman had to retire no later than 2015. If this condition is not met, then the pension will not increase.

It's about women retirement age, who retired until 2015. The Russian government decided to recalculate their pension according to children born before 1990. For those who retired later, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was offered the best option payments. Therefore, they will not receive an increase.

The increase depends directly on the number of children born. For each child, the pensioner will receive 1.8 points. One point is now equal to 78 rubles. From this calculation, women will receive:
For 1 child - 140.40 rubles. (1.8 points),
For 2 children - 280.80 rubles. (3.6 points),
For 3 and subsequent children - 436.80 rubles. (5.6 points).

The Pension Fund notes that it makes no sense to recalculate your pension if you have one child. Most likely, you will only lose when recalculating. But if a pensioner has 2 or more children, then it definitely makes sense.

Let us note that if, after such a recalculation, it turns out that the woman’s pension has only become smaller, then you will be left with the one that was. To recalculate, you need to contact the local Pension Fund and write a corresponding application there.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONS FOR CHILDREN BORN IN THE USSR IN 2017: WHAT DOCUMENTS ARE NEEDED

To receive the surcharge you will need the following documents:
firstly, an application for additional payment, in which you indicate your personal data, place of residence, as well as information about the child.

secondly, the child’s birth certificate.

Thirdly, work book or other document about labor activity.

fourthly, a certificate stating that you have not previously applied for such a payment.

fifthly, form number 9, which is issued at the passport office.

If you are applying for an additional payment for a child who is over 18 years old and studies at an educational institution, then a certificate from this educational institution is required.
If the child is disabled, then a document is also needed.

ADDITIONAL PAYMENTS TO PENSIONS FOR CHILDREN BORN IN THE USSR IN 2017: ACCOUNTING CONDITIONS

An increase in the pension amount is possible if a minor is dependent on a pensioner. Dependency, in accordance with the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, requires full maintenance and security. Payment of the bonus is allowed to persons who have reached the appropriate age and have retired. Who is entitled to an additional payment to the pension for dependents (children and other relatives)

The law includes children, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren as dependents on whom the payment of additional funds is required: until they reach the age of 18; if they carry out educational activities in middle and higher educational organizations, until they reach the age of 23 years; with disabled status and after reaching adulthood. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the legislative act emphasizes the absence of the need to prove the dependency of minors.

Women with one or more children born in Soviet time or a little later than the 90s, can count on an increase in pension payments.

Let's consider who can receive a cash supplement in 2018, in what amount and who is involved in the recalculation.

Who is entitled to recalculate the pension for children, and is it worth recalculating the pension taking into account additional payments for children born before 1980, 1990 and later?

The main condition for women who want to make a recalculation and receive the required funds is prescribed in the legislation - the woman must retire before January 1, 2015. If a citizen meets this requirement, then she can count on receiving pension points.

In addition, the following requirements and circumstances are taken into account:

  1. The increase can only be accrued for periods spent caring for children before they turn 1.5 years old.
  2. Maternity leave or a break from work must be issued. For example, if a citizen did not work officially, but studied at an educational institution, this period will be counted up to 1.5 years and no more.
  3. Points cannot be awarded for five or more children. By law, points are awarded only for four children.
  4. Size wages directly affects the increase. The citizen was supposed to receive a salary at the time of maternity leave, but until 2002, not exceeding the average monthly payments to working citizens of the Russian Federation. Or another option - the salary should not exceed the statistical salary by 20%.
  5. The period of work when the woman was in maternity leave, can be replaced by a “non-insurance period”. In this case, the size of the point increase will be higher.

Judging by the situation at the end of 2017, we can conclude that pensioners do not receive huge amounts of money, even with an increase. Pension payments amount to approximately 10-11 thousand rubles, taking into account the registered bonus. This amount is slightly above the subsistence level.

Experts assure that if a woman has good reasons for filing a recalculation - not one, but several children - then contacting the Pension Fund can be beneficial.

If a pensioner has not one child, but several, then the number of points awarded will be higher - not for one, but for several adult children at once.

As you understand, the size of the increase is also affected by the citizen’s income that she had during maternity leave. Experts usually rely on it when making a decision.

It makes no sense to count on an increase in pension for children for the following pensioners:

  1. For those receiving early retirement . Usually they belong to preferential categories of citizens who have not yet reached the general retirement age, but are no longer working. The applicant must have the status of a working pensioner. If he decides to replace the period of work with pension points, he may lose his status as an early retiree.
  2. Those who receive state pension payments set at a certain amount. This category also includes citizens who suffered as a result of the incident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
  3. For those receiving survivor benefits. A pension increase cannot be issued to a pensioner if he receives an insurance payment for a disabled person who was a dependent.

In general, it will be up to the Pension Fund specialist to determine whether a citizen can receive additional points.

As a rule, pensioners actually receive an increase in monthly payments for children born before 1990 or before 1980.

The size of the pension increase for women with children - an example of recalculation of pensions for children born during the USSR period and later

The size of the point increase, which will then be recalculated into cash equivalent, is influenced by the individual factors of the applicant.

The calculation depends on:


1.Number of children

Please note that point bonuses can only be accrued for 6 years, that is, for four children, and no more.

Let us list the number of points that can be awarded, in accordance with Article 15 of the Federal Law No. 400, approved on December 28, 2013.

2. Total work experience of the pensioner


3. Income for that period of time

The salary that the citizen received greatly influences the amount of the bonus.

The calculation is made purely individually:

  1. Points are awarded for the period when the pensioner did not work, was not officially employed and was on maternity leave for up to 1.5 years.
  2. The period when a citizen was employed can be counted and converted into points for child care or points for work, length of service. The law does not offer any other options.

Here are examples of calculating the pension supplement for children

Example 1. Citizen Ivanova gave birth to one child during Soviet times, in 1988. After retiring in 2014, she asked for a point increase to be calculated. According to the table above, it can be seen that for 1.5 years of caring for a child, Ivanova receives 2.7 points. We multiply this amount by the cost of 1 point - 78.58 rubles - and get an increase of 212.16 rubles.

Example 2. Citizen Selevanova applied for a recalculation of her pension and asked to take into account that before 1990 she gave birth to five children. She was in general child care for 6 years. She looked after the first three children for 4.5 years (up to 1.5 years), and the last two for 2 years (for one a year, for the other six months are not included in the calculation).

The increase will be calculated as follows: (2.7 + 5.4 + 8.1 + 5.4) x 78.58 rubles. = 1697.32 rub.

In case of high income at the time of maternity leave and replacement of work experience with points, the increase can be reduced in proportion to the points received.

In fact, it turns out that women receive much less than they should according to established formulas and calculations.

A complete list of documents for recalculating pensions for women for children - where to go to apply for an increase?

Request a recalculation pension payments should be done personally by the pensioner himself. The citizen must send a personal application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, its branch.

This form is approved by law, so you can print it, fill it out, sign it, and send it to the Pension Fund.

In addition, along with the application, you should send a documentation package, which includes:

  1. Copy of the passport.
  2. Copy of SNILS.
  3. Copies of children's birth certificates.
  4. Papers confirming that the child is 1.5 years old. This could be a copy of an education diploma, a copy of a passport.

You can submit your application and documents at any time. This can be done in person by visiting the government services portal or using the services of the Russian Post.

Is there an additional payment to the pension for children born before 1990 or before 1980?

In July 2017, regional branches of the Russian Pension Fund (PFR) began to provide information in open sources (meaning numerous publications in the media and on the official website of the PFR) long-awaited clarifications regarding the excitement that has developed since the beginning of this year in many regions of the country around the so-called “Increases in pensions for children of pensioners”.

According to previously circulated rumors, retired women, by submitting a corresponding application to the Pension Fund of Russia, can receive supplement to pension for children born before 1990(or generally in Soviet times until 1991 - including for adult children born before 1980), the amount of which for each child can reach up to several hundred rubles(accordingly, the more children a pensioner mother has, the larger the supplement will be).

Many women who independently addressed the Pension Fund on this issue, already really got it a permanent supplement to the pension for children in 2017, which caused an unprecedented stir among other pensioners. This led to the formation of huge queues at the Pension Fund client services and forced their employees to provide detailed explanations.

What payments are pensioners entitled to for children?

Let us immediately note that we are not talking about some kind of independent payment! An increase in pension for children is obtained as a result of recalculation due to the fact that according to the new law, from January 1, 2015, the calculation rules changed labor pension(assigned both for old age upon reaching retirement age and for disability), and now its size, in addition to periods of work, is also affected by "non-insurance periods"- in particular, one of the parents (usually the mother) cares for each child until he reaches 1.5 years of age (Article 12 federal law dated December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ).

To avoid any additional misconceptions in the future, you can immediately highlight for yourself the most important points regarding receiving this increase:

  1. For those pensioners who retired after January 1, 2015, no need to apply for recalculation, since the most profitable option has already been calculated and assigned for payment. Recalculation is due only if the woman has non-insurance periods that are not taken into account when a pension is assigned before January 1, 2015 or accounted for according to the old rules, for which they are now charged pension points according to the new law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ.
  2. Deadline for submitting an application for recalculation of pensions for women for children not limited in time- in other words, you can apply at any time, not only by personally contacting your branch of the Pension Fund, but also:

    • through multifunctional MFC centers- this opportunity is already available in most regions or will be available in the near future;
    • submitting an application remotely- via the Internet through a single portal of government services or by mail.
  3. Obtained as a result of recalculation pension supplement for children is individual and is not guaranteed for all pensioners, since replacing work experience with a period of child care will not always be beneficial.

    According to statistics, only in 20-30% of cases amount paid pension provision may be increased, and the amount of the increase can range from several rubles to several hundred or, in some cases, may even exceed a thousand rubles.

  4. If the recalculation turns out to be “with a minus sign”, then the current pension amount will not decrease(since the deterioration of pension provision is not allowed by current law), and the employees of the Pension Fund will make a decision on refusal.

Who is entitled to an additional payment to the pension for children?

Let us immediately note that The year of birth of children has no determining significance- they can be born before 1990, and at any time after this period.

The misconception that an additional payment is due only for children born before 1990 (1991) arose due to the fact that the new procedure for accounting for pension rights introduced in 2015 gives a significant increase in pensions for adult children to those pensioners who have predominantly “ Soviet" experience, which now has little effect on the size of the pension and which can be taken into account on more favorable terms for the pensioner in the form of pension points. It is recommended that they carry out such recalculation first. As a rule, the overwhelming majority of such mothers retired before January 1, 2015 (and they may already be at a very advanced age - they may be 70, 80 years old, or even older).

However, this is by no means does not mean that in the event of the birth of children after the collapse of the USSR, the woman will automatically lose the right to such a recalculation! Just, as a rule, it may not be beneficial for them for some other reason (for example, if seniority women formed mainly after the beginning of the 1990s under newer Russian pension laws).

It is necessary to understand that periods of child care in themselves do not imply an automatic increase in the pension, since often the periods of work already taken into account when assigning it make a higher contribution to the amount of the payment than replacing them with 1.5 years of care for each of the children. In practice there is a large number of special cases in which it may or may not be profitable to make such a recalculation (see table).

In what cases can recalculation be beneficial? When is recalculation most likely not going to give any increase?
  • If a woman gave birth to 2 or more children and cared for them until they were 1.5 years old
  • If there were several children in one pregnancy (for example, twins or triplets were born)
  • If during the period of childcare the mother was not employed (for example, she was studying or simply was not in an official labor relationship)
  • If she retired with minimal work experience
  • If the mother’s pension was set based on low earnings (below the national average)
  • If, taking into account all the circumstances presented above, a woman’s pension is paid in an amount close to the subsistence minimum (now this is the minimum pension)
  • If the pensioner has an only child
  • If she has a long work history, including giving birth to children
  • If the pension was initially calculated from a high salary (however, a salary exceeding the national average by 20% was not taken into account when assigning a pension until 2002 - i.e. the earnings ratio for this period in most cases does not exceed 1.2, but this is usually sufficient so that recalculation of the pension for children based on “non-insurance” points does not give any gain in comparison with the previously assigned option)

Thus, first of all, pensioners with 2 or more children who had low earnings and (or) low work experience can count on receiving a bonus for children as a result of recalculation of pensions.

Recalculation is contraindicated pensioners whose pension was assigned on preferential terms. Recipients early pensions who have not reached retirement age, as a result of replacing the working period with “non-insurance” 1.5 years of child care are lost preferential length of service, what can lead to loss of the right to early retirement.

How many points are given for each child when recalculating?

Since 2015, the main indicator influencing the size of the pension paid is the number of so-called “pension points”(in fact, according to the law it is called "individual pension coefficient» - IPK), registered in the Pension Fund of Russia on the individual personal account of the pensioner. This parameter reflects not in rubles, as was done before, but in relative units the amount of a citizen’s pension rights to an insurance (labor) pension.

Pension points on a personal account are formed in two main ways:

  • paid by the employer mandatory insurance contributions(in 2019 they make up 22% of the employee’s wage fund, of which 6% goes to the formation fixed payment, and 16% are taken into account on an individual personal account in the form of pension points);
  • by taking into account the so-called “non-insurance periods” of carrying out socially significant activities in points, when future pensioner does not work and contributions are not deducted for it, but pension rights are formed at the expense of the state (full list such periods are listed in Art. 12 of the Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ - this is, in particular, the transit time military service by conscription for men, carried out by one of the parents care for each child up to 1.5 years and etc.)

If, as a result of the calculations carried out the increase will be negative, then it will not be profitable for the pensioner to make such a replacement, and the Pension Fund employees will refuse to formalize the recalculation (that is, the amount of the pension in any case it will not decrease).

What documents are needed for recalculation?

Only those pensioners (one of the parents who cared for a child under 1.5 years old) who was appointed until 2015. Recipients of old-age or disability insurance pensions can do this. Recalculation is made only at the request of a pensioner, which must be submitted to the branch of the Pension Fund that pays the pension (since it is there that the pensioner’s payment file is stored, on the basis of which the calculation will be made additional payment for children born).

Since we are talking about regular application recalculation of pension, a standard application is used for it, the form of which is approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2016 No. 14n (Appendix No. 2 to the Administrative Regulations of the Pension Fund on the provision of public services for establishing pensions).

Along with the completed application, it is mandatory to accept personal storage documents:

  • ID card of a pensioner (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation);
  • certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SNILS).

Also, according to paragraph 2 of Art. 23 laws “About insurance pensions” an application for recalculation is accepted subject to the provision by the pensioner documents necessary for its implementation.

First of all, the presence of non-insurance periods is confirmed on the basis of documents already in the pensioner’s payment file, as well as personalized accounting information available to Pension Fund employees. If information about the periods of child care until they reach 1.5 years is missing or is incomplete, then the applicant confirms its availability additional documents:

  • birth certificates of all children (if they are missing, you can order a child’s birth certificate from the civil registry office);
  • documents confirming that children have reached one and a half years of age - this can be any official document issued to the child by government authorities at a later age (child’s passport, certificate or diploma of education, military ID, etc.).

If the birth certificate contains a stamp indicating that the child received a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation after he reaches the age of 14, then Only a birth certificate will be enough with the appropriate mark!
