The question of increasing the pension is very acute for every pensioner in our country. Should we expect an increase in pensions and what will be the increase?
The answer to this question is yes. The increase in pensions this year is planned to be carried out in several stages.
First, the increase in the insurance pension has already been made since January this year, while the increase was made by 3.7%. While the inflation rate last year was 3%.
Should we wait for indexation for pensioners who continue to work?
Indexation of pensions for this category of citizens is not planned. According to the head of the Ministry of Finance, in connection with the increase in the growth of wages, this category of pensioners has every chance and opportunity to increase their income, in contrast to non-working pensioners. When a pensioner stops working, he can count on the recalculation of his pension (taking into account all indexations that have been made during the entire period of his work in retirement).
As long as the pensioner continues to work, then he can count on an unapproved recalculation, which is carried out regularly, every year from August 1. This recalculation is made for no more than 3 pension points (depending on the insurance premiums paid by him).
An increase in social pensions, as well as pensions for state pensions, is expected from April 1, 2018. This increase will occur by 4.1%.
