The coming 2022 promises a dozen of legislative and administrative innovations for the multimillion army of Russian pensioners. Traditionally, for all, without exception, Russians who are on a well-deserved rest, the indexation of monthly payments will be carried out – however, for different categories – it is different and at different times. New rules related to inheritance of pensions and withholding of debts will come into force. Finally, digitalization will invade the pension sector on an even larger scale: a number of services for registration and delivery of pensions will acquire an electronic form. Experts told MK in more detail about the next year’s pension changes.

Indexation of pensions

November will begin for Russians with an unplanned vacation – due to the difficult epidemiological situation, President Vladimir Putin announced the days from January 1 to increase the old-age insurance pensions of non-working pensioners: they will increase their payments by 5.9%. The indexation will affect not only old-age pensions, but also disability and survivor pensions.

Social pensions will start to rise from April 1. They will increase immediately by 7.7%, and this is a record figure in recent years. State pensions will be raised by the same percentage. And in August, an increase in payments awaits working pensioners by adding to the insurance part of the points that have accumulated over the year. The maximum you can add is 296.58 rubles.

On October 1, 2022, military pensions will be increased by 4%. The indexation of pensions should be carried out by security officials from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Russian Guard, the FSSP and Rospozharnadzor. Security officials’ pensions are tied to the salaries of workers. Now such pensioners are paid 73.68% of their salaries.

Andrey Loboda, top manager in the field of financial communications, comments:

“We will assume that the size of this increase is just a prologue to new, more substantial and adequate financial injections into budgetary support for pensioners. It is a pity that the monetary authorities are so difficult to part with pennies, supporting the elderly, but allocate hundreds of billions of rubles to buy up dollars and euros. The inadequacy of indexation is aggravated by the complete disregard for real inflation. Inflation is the scourge of poor people, so one thousand rubles of an increase in pension will not help matters. According to the Constitution, at least for the sake of decency, pensions should be raised by 10% and fundamentally it is necessary to return to the simplified formula for calculating it. The minimum amount of pensions in Russia should be calculated from 40 thousand rubles, this is the starting point, so as not to feel humiliated in old age. “

Start of funded pension payments

From 2022, the payment of funded pensions to women born in 1967 will begin. The amount of these payments will depend on the amount of contributions aimed at financing the funded pension, as well as on the investment income received. The average size of funded pensions will be 2,613 rubles.

The amount of funded pension, which is due to a pensioner, can be found through the website of the State Service. On the service, you need to order an extract from the individual personal account of the insured, if the funded pension was formed in the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR). Or, information can be obtained through a personal account in a non-state pension fund (NPF), if pension savings were transferred to it from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. In addition, you can use the services of the MFC.

Andrey Loboda comments:

“Many people don’t even know that 6% of insurance premiums go to funded pensions. In general, this financial instrument needs to be popularized. He will be successful on condition that NPFs demonstrate transparency and successful development, while this is not the case. It is important that with a constantly falling ruble and accelerating inflation, all deductions for this instrument burn out and turn into kopecks. But the saddest thing is that our NPFs, even against the backdrop of a boom in the private investment market, demonstrate profitability below official inflation. “

Supplement to rural pensioners

Important changes will affect pensioners living in rural areas. If they have worked 30 or more years in the village, then they are entitled to a pension increase in the amount of 25% of the fixed payment to the insurance pension. Previously, when moving to the city, they lost this allowance. From January 1, 2022, this will not happen.

Mark Goikhman, chief analyst at TeleTrade, comments:

“End of discrimination against rural pensioners. She was strange enough before. After all, the years of work in rural areas, which are considered, as a rule, more difficult in terms of living and social conditions, one way or another still remain with a person. Regardless of whether he then moved, for example, to the children in the city or not. On the other hand, such an innovation may further encourage older people to leave their homes. Many villages often rely on old people. But in old age, living conditions, medical services become more important, and in cities they are higher. “

Notice of future pensions

Starting next year, all women over 40 and men over 45 will be notified of the amount of pension savings, they will calculate approximately what the size of the insurance pension will be and what payments they can receive in the future.

Anna Bodrova, senior analyst at IAC Alpari comments:

“Announcing the size of the future pension is an interesting step. This is at least informative: Russians have enough time to take care of increasing their income in retirement, seeing the numbers now. Most likely, these amounts in notifications will not be the largest – on average, about 11.5-16.5 thousand rubles. No one will be impressed by this amount of payment, but in general, it is high time for Russians to understand that they need to take care of their own pension exclusively on their own, not relying on the state. You can increase the size of your income, which will be useful in old age, by participating in various kinds of private investments, investments in precious metals, savings, diversified in currencies or real estate. “

Release from deductions

From January 1, citizens of retirement age who have declared themselves bankrupt will be released from the withholding of debts from pensions according to the writ of execution of bailiffs.

Alexey Zubets, professor at the Financial University under the Government of the Russian Federation, comments:

“This undertaking carries with it a positive charge. No debt collection should leave people, especially old people with their modest pensions, on the verge of starvation. There should be enough money for utility bills, for maintaining health, for the purchase of medicines, food, and everyday items. As a rule, there is nothing to take from pensioners in order to pay off the debt, and you cannot take away an apartment, it is most often the only one with them. The problem is that if banks begin to make it difficult for pensioners to issue loans, they can use the services of microfinance organizations, or even “black money lenders” and similar fraudsters who take colossal interest, out of despair ”.

Inheritance pensions

The issue of receiving a pension by the heirs of a deceased person has been resolved. Now, at the request of the notary, the Pension Fund of Russia will issue a certificate to the heirs about the amount of payments not received by the pensioner during his lifetime. The procedure will become simple and straightforward: to take money, you need to apply to the Pension Fund, you can electronically.

Anna Bodrova comments:

“It is positive that the authorities have resolved the issue of delays in the documents when inheriting a lost pension. The simpler the procedure that the heirs have to go through in such a situation, the better. The opportunity to receive a pension that has not been received for a deceased relative is a good help at a time when the financial expenses of most families are very high. The very scheme of applying for the rest of the pension is simple, which makes the process quite accessible for relatives. “

Early retirement

From January 1, it will become easier to receive a pension in the direction of the Employment Center if a person of pre-retirement age could not find a vacancy. You can retire early, in particular, if the total length of service is 20 years (for women) and 25 years (for men). If a person meets this and other requirements, then he can retire 2 years earlier. It will be credited and paid automatically.

Mark Goikhman comments:

“One of the important solutions to the burning problems of employment of pre-retirees. There is a certain compromise between the old and the new retirement age. This may be especially true in small settlements or “monotowns”, where there is little choice of offers of even low-skilled work for older people. In large cities, this approach is likely not to be very common. There, employment services will be able to offer vacancies, although they are low-paid, but formally corresponding to the needs of such categories of workers. “

Possibility to choose a pension

A person in their 80s who is receiving a survivor’s pension can opt for an old-age pension if it is higher. Recall that after 80 years of age, a pensioner is automatically set a fixed payment, but it cannot be received when receiving a survivor’s pension.

Mark Goikhman comments:

“An absolutely fair alternative. A person who is legally claiming various pension payments should have the natural right to choose one or another option. The difference between them is small in amount, but for people over 80 years old it can be quite important. “

Social supplement

Starting next year, low-income pensioners will receive a social supplement to their pension up to the subsistence level, which is established in the region. From January 1, it is not required to submit an application and additionally provide any documents for social benefits. It is calculated from the moment the pension is assigned.

Mark Goikhman comments:

“The logic of a living wage is the smallest amount of funds needed for life. According to this principle, an older person, as a rule, is unable to work, that is, who does not have additional earnings, should be provided simply by the very opportunity to live. A simple and natural consideration. Not to mention the extent to which the size of the subsistence minimum for a pensioner meets such requirements, it is necessary to ensure this income in any case. “

As well as:

New in the delivery rules . Since the New Year, people living in territories with an emergency regime (ES) will be able to deliver pensions ahead of schedule. If a citizen needs it, he just needs to apply to the local branch of the FIU.

At the same time, Russians who have reached retirement age will have the right to make clarifications in the application for the delivery of their pension. For example, they will be able to ask to send funds via mail, and not transfer to a personal bank account.

Change of transfer rules . The pensioner will be able to ask for the lost pension in the current month to be transferred to his bank account. This applies to those who decide to receive their pension through the post office or other delivery organization. This must be indicated immediately in the application for the delivery of the pension.

Automatic accrual of pensions . From January 1, the old-age insurance pension will be calculated automatically, but an application on the State Services portal will still have to be submitted. We are talking about people who have an insurance record of at least 15 years and an individual pension coefficient of at least 30 points.

From January 1, the disability insurance pension will be paid from the moment a person is recognized as a disabled person. It will be assigned automatically, taking into account data from the federal register of people with disabilities.
