Let us say right away that such a definition as “ minimum size pensions” are not included in the legislation. But it is also clear that we are talking about an amount less than which the old-age insurance pension cannot be. How is the minimum size determined?

To do this, let us pay attention to the concept of long-term socio-economic development of the Russian Federation for the period until 2020. It says that the minimum level of pension is set not lower than the subsistence level of a pensioner in the region of his residence (Part II of the Concept, approved by Order of the Government of the Russian Federation of November 17 .2008 No. 1662-r).

Thus, the cost of living of a pensioner in his region can be conventionally called the size of the minimum old-age pension.

What does the minimum old-age pension consist of?

It happens that a person was assigned an old-age pension, but its amount turned out to be lower than the pensioner’s subsistence level. In this case, he is entitled to an additional payment up to the “minimum wage”. It is correctly called “social supplement to pension” up to the pensioner’s subsistence level. The right to it arises when 2 conditions are simultaneously met:

• absence of work or other activity during which the person is subject to compulsory pension insurance;
• failure to achieve the total amount of material support for a pensioner equal to the minimum subsistence level of a pensioner in the region of his residence.

Keep in mind that in order to calculate the “total amount of material support” almost everything is taken into account - everything cash payments, including pension and cash equivalent measures social support for payment of telephone, housing, utilities and travel on all types of passenger transport (urban, suburban and intercity), as well as monetary compensation expenses for payment for these services.

The amount of PMP for determining the size of federal and regional social supplements to pensions is established in the whole of the Russian Federation and in each subject of the Russian Federation. So, for 2018 in the Russian Federation it is 8,726 rubles, and, for example, in Moscow – 11,816 rubles.

Are indexations taken into account when determining the minimum pension amount?

Insurance pensions of non-working pensioners were indexed from January 1, 2018 to 3.7. Cost of one pension coefficient after the increase amounted to 81.49 rubles, and the size fixed payment– 4,982.9 rub.

Social pensions have been indexed since April 1, 2018 by 2.9%, taking into account the growth rate of the pensioner’s living wage in Russian Federation over the past year.

As a result of indexation of insurance and social pensions in 2018, the average amounts of old-age pensions in Russia were:

• old age insurance – 14,151 rubles;
• social pension – 9,062 rubles;

Since the main income of older people, as a rule, is , the issue of the size of the minimum benefit is of interest to a large number of citizens.

Often officials give rather vague answers, promising to raise social standards as soon as the economy becomes more stable and energy prices rise 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 the size depends on various types pensions, including by region.

What determines the size of pension provision?

Today, citizens of the Russian Federation who do not have enough experience to accrue labor pension, is entitled to a minimum old-age pension.

The calculation procedure is regulated by Russian Government Resolution No. 166.

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

In 2019, the Russian Federation entered into force several innovations in pension legislation. For example, in the second half of the year, pensioners will receive state benefits under a system based on the scheme pension legislation Australia.

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

Minimum payout amounts

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” in old age will be no less for pensioners. Last year, its average value across regions was 8,803 rubles.

It is noteworthy that regions They independently set the lower threshold based on the subsistence level in their region and assess the corresponding social supplements.

According to PF data, medium sizes different types pensions since February last year are:

Currently, the minimum pension does not correspond to the minimum 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 level. The amount of the surcharge depends on the pensioner’s place of residence.

It is accrued after the pensioner submits the appropriate application. However, working pensioners are not entitled to social benefits. To receive benefits, documentation of the established form is required; it must be presented to the Pension Fund office at the place of residence.

Increasing the minimum pension amount possible when the following factors occur:

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

The latter is subdivided into three types:

• for old age: from 65 and 60 years of age for men and women, respectively;
• : accrued to citizens with one of the disability groups, regardless of the required length of service;
• : paid to full-time students under 23 years of age, as well as to 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, starting this year, the legislation regarding civil servants has been significantly tightened: every year the retirement age, as well as minimum experience will increase by six months.

Insurance pension amount are calculated based on the following:

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

The innovations provide that the minimum length of service for calculating an insurance pension will increase by 12 months every year, and the number of points will increase by 2.4. For example, for those who retired on January 1, 2017, it is enough to work for 8 years, and for those who become pensioners in 2025, they will need to work for 15 years and still have at least 30 points. It is worth noting that the number of points is directly proportional to the value of the “white” wages.

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

When calculating the minimum pension, the following economic indicators are taken into account: living wage set for people retirement age. This value is directly influenced by the level of inflation and rising prices for the consumer basket.

It is worth noting that each Russian region sets an individual subsistence level. 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 the insurance premium.

Insurance premium is calculated as follows: sum of IB (individual points) * cost of IB (in 2019 they plan to fix this figure at 87.24 rubles).

In 2019 people old age who receive insurance pension payments from the state based on age, can count on 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 is worth noting that the Government of the Russian Federation annually indexes this type of benefits.

Russians who receive from the state can also count on an annual increase in pension payments. social benefits. 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 it must be at least 17,500 rubles. Moreover, 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.

The size of the “minimum wage” in the Russian Federation is determined annually based on the value of the pensioner's subsistence level (PSMP). Non-working pensioners whose total amount of benefits does not reach the GSMP in their region are paid a social supplement to their pension up to the GSMP. Let's consider this value in different regions of the Russian Federation using the table below.

As we can see, the largest value of EPMF, not counting the two capitals, is in Omsk, Crimea and Krasnodar Territory. This is due to specific features these regions.

Exact amount maximum pension on this moment there is no way to calculate.

The amount of the pension is influenced by a number of factors:

1. Salary amount.
2. Retirement age.
3. Period length of service.
4. Amount of contributions to the Pension Fund.
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.

General requirements for retirement in 2019

The gradually increasing requirements for citizens in order to be assigned an old-age insurance pension in 2019 are as follows:

• The man's age is from 60 years and 6 months, the woman's age is from 55 years and 6 months;

• The man's age is from 61 years, the woman's age is from 56 years;

The minimum amount of payments to pensioners is described in the following video:

How pension indexation will take place in Moscow in 2019

In general, the annual process of increasing pensions in Moscow occurs in the same way as throughout Russia - in three stages.

1 . As you know, the indexation of old-age insurance pensions for non-working pensioners in 2019 took place not on February 1, as many are accustomed to, but on 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 details of indexation were clarified by the Pension Fund. As follows from the press service of the Fund, from January 1, 2019, the old-age insurance pension for non-working pensioners was 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 unhappy with the January indexation. After massive appeals to Putin, it was decided to recalculate. Read about the situation with indexation and recalculation of insurance pensions

2. From April 1, 2019, in Moscow, as throughout Russia, social pensions and state pensions will increase. Putin said nothing about them in his televised address. The Pension Fund itself outlined the prospects for the growth of social pensions in 2019. So, at first it was planned to increase social pensions from April 1, 2019 according to the growth index of the pensioner’s cost of living for the previous year, namely by 2.4%. But then plans changed. As of today, social pensions are planned to increase by 2.0% from April 1, 2019. You can find out more about social pensions

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

Now let us recall the 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 their territory of residence. If the accrued pension is less than this level, then the Regional Social Supplement (RSD) to the pension is additionally paid from the budget.

In 2017, the cost of living 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 Supplement, was 11,561 rubles.

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

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

But this “minimum wage” is established for those pensioners - Muscovites who have been registered at their place of stay / place of residence in Moscow for a total of less than 10 years.

For Moscow old-timers, a different minimum pension applies. It is adjusted to the City Social Standard of Minimum Income.

Additional payment to pensions in Moscow in 2019 up to the size of the city social standard

An additional payment to the pension up to the value of the City Social Standard (GSS) 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 a duration of such registration of 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 State Social Insurance Fund 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 was 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 the monthly payments citizens of preferential categories. Below are the sizes 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 also not yet been officially announced.

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 their territory of residence.

The minimum pension in the Moscow region in 2017 was equal to the subsistence level for a pensioner in the Moscow Region and amounted to 9,161 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 - approximately 4%.

As a result, the level of subsistence level for a pensioner in 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 in the amount of 9,908 rubles.

Follow this publication; correspondents from the business information agency TOP-RF.ru ​​will definitely add to it as soon as more recent news appears about pension increases in Moscow and the Moscow region in 2019!

For the majority of Russians who have retired, pension payments are the only source of income. Due to the unstable economic situation and due to the constant transformation of pension legislation, many citizens are interested in what size the minimum pension will be in Russia in 2018, whether it is worth waiting for indexation and what pensioners receiving state, social benefits or old-age pensions can expect.

How is a pension formed in Russia?

The legislation does not stipulate the concept of a minimum pension. This is a conventional name that has taken root among ordinary people and means nothing more than a living wage. This is the amount paid by the state to elderly people who have retired but are not eligible to receive other types of pension payments. Each region of the Russian Federation has its own subsistence level, and if the minimum pension in 2018 is less than this value, additional money is allocated from the local budget to cover the gap.

The cost of living is not a constant value. The value is reviewed annually and approved at the actual high level. To calculate the BPM, several circumstances are taken into account:

• official inflation rate;
• the state and performance of the country's economy;
• consumer price level.

The cost of living is formed on the basis of prices that are set by region and country. For this purpose, the concept of a consumer basket was introduced - the monthly minimum expenses of a citizen necessary for life. This includes food, non-food essentials and basic services. The composition of the basket is revised less frequently than the subsistence level budget - every five years.

Cost of Living data is published quarterly and varies for each demographic group. Depending on the region, it can differ several times, because not only the price level is taken into account, but also the climatic characteristics of the subject where the calculation is made, the specifics of consumption of essential goods due to the traditional way of life. For example, the budgets of the Kursk region and Chukotka differ by almost 2.5 times.

By old age

The minimum old-age pension in Russia in 2018 is called insurance. It involves payments provided to citizens, and the latter are subject to certain conditions:

• age restrictions. 55 for women and 60 for men, although sometimes a person has the right to claim earlier retirement, for example, residents of districts Far North.
• having a certain amount of work experience. Since 2016, this indicator has been set at 7 years with a gradual increase in this value to 15 by 2024.
• number of points and individual coefficient. In 2018, the maximum possible number of points that a person can earn is set at 8.7, while the IPC should be 13.8.

The minimum old-age pension in 2018 is set at 8,703 rubles. For Moscow it is expected to set the value at 17,500 rubles.

Social

For some categories of citizens, the state pays social pensions - the regular minimum for those people who are not entitled to receive an insurance pension payment. There are three types of social pension:

• on disability ( disabled citizens 1, 2, 3 groups and disabled children without the requirement to establish a group);
• in case of loss of a breadwinner (children under 18 years of age or 23 years of age if they are studying but not working, provided that they have lost one of their parents or a single parent);
• for old age (women 60 years of age and men 65 years of age, if they do not have the appropriate insurance experience; 55-year-old men and 50-year-old women belonging to the small peoples of the North).

According to official information, the minimum social pension in Russia is next year will be indexed.

State

In addition to insurance and social benefits, some Russian citizens are entitled to receive state pensions. These include:

• people who have become disabled due to radiation exposure;
• residents who were in the contaminated area at the time of the accident;
• residents who left the exclusion areas.

As a rule, state pensions are issued to victims of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.

Payment terms

In connection with the adoption of the new law No. 134, the minimum pension from January 1, 2018 will be paid, taking into account all possible indexations, from the first day of the month following dismissal. Until 2015, pension benefits consisted of federal base size, to which the insurance and savings parts were added. Today, the funded part is a separate type of security, which is regulated by separate legislative acts.

The minimum pension in Russia in 2018 will be calculated based on the formula:

FIXED PAYMENT + INSURANCE PREMIUM.

To calculate the insurance premium, you need to multiply the number of points (their amount is individual for each person, but cannot exceed the legally established value) by the cost of one point. In 2018, the value was set at 81.49 rubles, while throughout 2018 its value was 78.58 rubles.

For non-working pensioners

According to data provided on the official website of the government, in 2018, costs for pensions and social security are planned to increase. The budget provides for an increase in insurance pensions, and the indexation procedure will be changed. In addition, it is planned to index social pension benefits. The entire process will fully comply with Russian legislation due to the increase in the cost of living. In addition, it is planned to index the pension benefits of the military while maintaining the reduction coefficient at 72.23%.

Indexation of insurance pensions

Traditionally, annual indexation is carried out from February, since on this date the inflation value is known, which is taken into account to calculate the indicator, which is a guideline for increasing payments. The government decided to postpone this moment for more early date- beginning of the year. Thus, the minimum pension in Russia in 2018 will be increased by 3.7% from January 1. This was done in order to ensure a real increase in the amounts paid by the beginning of 2018.

Initially, it was taken into account that inflation would rise by 4%; however, according to preliminary data, today the value does not exceed 3%. Taking this into account, it was decided to increase the amount by 3.7% (taking into account the faster rise in prices). The average size, according to official data, will increase from 13,657 rubles. in 2017 to 14045 in 2018. The increase will be a small 400 rubles, but for pensioners it is better than nothing.

Increase in social pensions from April 2018

8742 rubles - the payment that is due to everyone who could not earn required experience to receive an insurance pension. This value is used as a basis for assigning allowances to disabled people of groups 1 and 2. In order to support particularly vulnerable sections of the population, the size of the minimum social pension in Russia in 2018 will be increased by 4.1 percent from April (however, the indexation coefficient may be changed). If some people’s allowance is less than the subsistence level in the region of their registration, then they are entitled to an additional payment up to this amount.

Increase due to increase in length of service for working pensioners from August 2018

As for working pensioners, indexation is not provided for them for 2018. An increase in allowances for persons who have retired and continue to work has not been carried out for several years now, and judging by the mood of the Government, the state will continue to adhere to this practice. This is due to the fact that the income of working pensioners is already greater; in addition, they can go on vacation and start receiving payments in full size.

In addition to this, employers continue to make contributions to the Pension Fund from their accrued earnings. According to the law, these funds are converted into points, which will subsequently affect the amount paid. The increase from August will be achieved due to an increase in the value of the pension point to 81.49 rubles. A pensioner can also refuse payments for a while, which will then bring an additional bonus. A project to introduce the so-called “13th pension payment”, assigned at the end of the year, as a kind of compensation, is being discussed among deputies.

What will be the minimum pension in 2018 by region of Russia?

The first increase is scheduled for January 2018, after which in April the amounts paid to persons receiving social benefits will be indexed. However, this does not mean that everyone will receive the same amount, since for each region of Russia its own BPM is established by local authorities, so even pensioners with the same length of service may receive different amounts of money. In addition, it should be noted that each region has the right to make additional payments to older people, but not all budgets allow this.

Central

According to official information, the largest federal district in Russia has the following minimum payments to pensioners. If we do not take into account the capital region and the region, then the maximum indicators for the amounts paid will have:

In the federal district, which forms about a third of the budget of the Russian Federation, the following maximum values ​​of the minimum pension allowance are noted:

An interesting situation has developed in the second largest federal district of Russia. Three subjects at once set the minimum allowance limits at the same level:

• Transbaikal region– RUB 9,703;
• Novosibirsk region –9,703 rub.

The lowest value in the Siberian Federal District was recorded in:

• Republic of Ingushetia – 8,104 rubles;
• North Ossetia - 7,606 rubles;

The size of the minimum pension in 2018 in Moscow and the Moscow region

As already noted, people who have taken a well-deserved vacation and live in the capital and the Moscow region can count on one of the largest minimum pensions in Russia in 2018. According to official information, the numbers look like this:

• Moscow – 17,500 rub.;
• Moscow region – 9864 rub.

It is noteworthy that residents of New Moscow receive pension payments like Muscovites. The insurance is paid if a person has at least 8 years of experience, and the individual coefficient is 11.4. Everyone who does not fit into this figure receives a minimum wage that does not reach the subsistence level, so the city authorities compensate for this difference. Additionally, it is planned to increase a number of monthly and one-time municipal allowances for various categories of Muscovite pensioners (Heroes of Russia, labor, etc.).

For pensioners living less than 10 years in the capital

An interesting situation arises with the minimum amounts paid in the capital. Since their value is significantly higher than the national average, many older people are trying by hook or by crook to obtain at least temporary registration in the capital. They continue to live in their home region, and they receive allowances at Moscow rates.

Pension fund specialists understand this situation, so a differentiation was introduced between native and non-native Muscovites. The latter include those whose Moscow registration has been listed in their passport for at least ten years. Non-indigenous Muscovites who have retired are entitled to a minimum pension, the amount of which does not take into account the monthly supplement paid by the city authorities.

For Muscovites with registration for more than 10 years at their place of registration

If, according to registration, a person of retirement age has lived in Moscow for more than one decade, he has the right to all allowances and additional payments that are provided for by law. The social standard from 2018 will be 17,500 rubles. In addition to this, older Muscovites receive some benefits from the authorities, expressed in the form of discounts on travel and payment for a number of utilities. However, it should also be taken into account that the price level in the capital region is higher, which is taken into account when approving the minimum pension allowance.

Registration of additional payments to pensions up to the subsistence level in 2018

To summarize, it can be noted that the minimum pension in Russia in 2018, due to various circumstances, may not always reach the subsistence level. For this reason, additional payments are due until this value is reached. It is important to understand that not all elderly citizens have the right to count on such an additional payment, but only those who have pension provision is the only source of income. If a person, for example, works additionally, then additional payment to the minimum subsistence level is not provided.

Supplements are calculated based not only on the amount of pension benefits, but also on a number of other additional payments:

• monthly benefits, for example, due to disability;
• social benefits(free travel on public transport, sanatorium treatment etc.);
• additional regular payments provided by municipal authorities.

Not taken into account targeted assistance citizen, insurance payments, assistance in in kind(material provision of food, clothing, medicines). Another important condition for calculating the surcharge is that the citizen must permanently reside in Russia. If he goes abroad for permanent residence, the payment of additional funds stops.

Where to contact

In order for the state to begin making additional payments to a low-income pensioner, he must visit the branch Pension Fund or send an application there by post. The issue of additional payments is regulated by Federal Law 178. Unlike one-time assistance, they are paid monthly until the pensioner’s income level reaches the required level or until the person receives an additional source of income.

• passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation or residence permit for foreigners;
• pensioner's ID;
• a document confirming the place of registration;

The concept of a minimum old-age pension in our country is a rather arbitrary concept and is not official today. It is not established by law and is used only in everyday life. On the other hand, there is such a thing as the subsistence level, the minimum Russian pensioner.

This is essentially the same amount of the minimum pension payment, since all pensioners who do not work and who have a total amount social security does not reach the subsistence level in the region of his permanent residence, a social supplement to their pension is established up to the subsistence level.

In other words, at the federal or regional budget level non-working pensioner in Russia will receive social benefits (pension) no less than the minimum subsistence level in their place of residence. website

That is, in other words, the level of subsistence level of a Russian pensioner in a particular region of his permanent residence on the territory of the Russian Federation should be conditionally considered the level of the minimum pension payment in this territory.

Below in the tables we will list the cost of living by region of the Russian Federation for the past year, and taking into account the fact that the predicted inflation for 2016 should be fixed at 6.3%, you yourself can easily predict what the minimum pension will be in 2017 ...

Let's give an example:

In some conventional region last year, the minimum cost of living was 8,000 rubles, and official inflation for the same year was 6.3%, which means that this 6.3% should be added to 8,000, i.e. (8,000 + 6.3% = 8,504 rubles) and we received the minimum living standard for a pensioner in 2017. website

It turns out that if the government keeps its word, the cost of living for a Russian pensioner from this conditional region next year will be 8,504 rubles.

Due to the fact that there is no official information about the minimum pension in 2017, its increase, indexation or compensation for Russian pensioners.

We have taken on this responsibility and offer our version of what the minimum subsistence level will be for Russian pensioners.

As an example, we present to you a table with two regions of Russia (Central and Ural Federal Districts) - with the cost of living in 2016 and expected in 2017...

Living wage in the Ural Federal District - official in 2016 and estimated in 2017 (taking into account inflation in 2016 - 6.3%).

Minimum subsistence level in 2016 and approximately in 2017 (Kurgan region)	8,370 - 8,897 rubles

Minimum subsistence level in 2016 and approximately in 2017 (Yamalo-Nenets Autonomous District)	13,425 - 14,271 rubles

Using these examples, you yourself can, knowing last year’s minimum subsistence level in your region, calculate it in 2017, what it will presumably be...

In general, the minimum pension in 2017 - the minimum wage for a pensioner should be (minimum) in the range from 8,922 to 9,252 thousand rubles, no less... (the numbers are approximate and largely depend on inflation, as well as management decisions countries)...

In light of the fact that the life of an ordinary Russian and especially elderly people on well-deserved retirement is becoming more and more difficult every day, the issue of indexing pensions to the level of official inflation and increasing pension payments in accordance with rising prices for essential goods and services is an urgent matter. acutely in recent years.

So what can an elderly Russian man count on, who has devoted decades of his life to production, agriculture, science, the army and other professions, who, without sparing himself, often worked in harmful and very difficult conditions for the benefit and prosperity of his country, what gratitude should he receive? from the state side can he hope next year?

First of all, Russian pensioners are interested in increasing the minimum pension in 2017, will they increase the minimum wage, what will be its size, by what percentage will it be indexed and when to expect it?

Elderly Russian citizens are looking everywhere for their questions, trying to get them on the Internet and from officials of all ranks who can “shed light” on this topic.

Pensioners send letters to regional and central authorities, the Pension Fund of Russia, deputies and ministers. However, reliable information none of them give.

We, they say, will definitely raise social standards next year, including old-age pension payments, but only if “a command comes from above”, and strictly within the limits of our powers we will carry out everything - these are their answers... website

What specialists and experts say on this issue - in general, few of them are ready to reassure Russian citizens who are on a well-deserved rest; they are unlikely to say that there is some hope for a sharp change in the current economic situation in the country, and therefore take money to improve the level of social There are simply no obligations, except maybe enough for indexing.

And here’s what our Prime Minister says: if the Russian economy demonstrates sustainable growth in the near future, and the cost of energy resources on world markets rises, an increase social payments will happen in the very near future, but only after these events.

These are the “encouraging” words our Prime Minister reassures Russian citizens and pensioners, and immediately adds that at the moment there are no extra funds in the state treasury for social services, increasing pensions and salaries, or other expenses in this area.

Is it possible to live on the 2017 minimum pension in Russia?

To be honest, it’s most likely possible, but how? No one will give you the correct and most importantly justified answer to this question. Of course, some will say, others will answer them “you yourself try to live on this money.” In our country, without hiding or prevaricating, we can say for sure that it is almost impossible for a Russian pensioner to live with dignity on pension provision, and even more so if it is minimal.

Every representative of our population has pensions different types and level, for some they are more or less decent, for others they are of an average level, while others get by with the bare minimum. This largely depends on the length of service and contributions to the insurance fund, as well as preferential coverage (the level of pension payments).

But in any case, the minimum pension in Russia, as promised in 2017, is unlikely to satisfy even the most modest Russian pensioner in his aspirations. After all, what is it really enough for, to a greater extent - for the standard set of minimum required payments, and this is utilities, medicines and inexpensive food and the cheapest clothes. Nobody talks about any trips to the resort, much less to the sea; this category of people doesn’t even remember for these pleasures.

So give the answer yourself, is it possible to live in Russia on a minimum pension in 2017, especially taking into account the fact that it is indexed once a year to last year’s inflation level, and prices for the main goods, food and services consumed by this category of people will increase a lot more.
