Every year the government of the Russian Federation is concerned about the low level of pension payments to citizens of our country. Pensions are indexed every year by a few percent, either the insurance part or the funded one. Since August of this year, pensioners have had one more opportunity to increase their pension due to another supplement.
This time, all women who gave birth to their children before the 90s of the last century, that is, during the times of the USSR, can receive an addition to their pension. It is advisable that during this period you had several children, and the more, the better. The allowance for one child will be insignificant and will practically not affect the level of the pension. It is also necessary to take into account the fact that at the time of parental leave, a break in work is required.
The increase to the pension is calculated as a result of recalculation and increase in the number of points individually for each pensioner, based on the modern pension calculation system. Previously, when calculating the pension, a break in work associated with caring for a child up to 1.5 years was not taken into account. Now it has become possible to receive this allowance at the rate of 1.8 points for each year of maternity leave for the first child and 3.6 points for each year of maternity leave for the second child. By the way, in 2017, one point is equal to 78 rubles. Therefore, you can apply for an additional surcharge within 1000 rubles.
But this supplement is intended primarily for women with a small pension. For everyone else, it does not significantly affect its level.
To find out more specific information, you need to contact the Pension Fund located near your place of residence and they will recalculate you and answer all your questions about the allowance for children born in Soviet times.
Now many pensioners rushed to draw up this supplement to their pension, but it should be borne in mind that it is only for people who retired before 2015. After this time, all additional payments have already been taken into account and included in the amount of pension payments. Of course, those women who had three or more children in Soviet times are more fortunate.
To apply to the Pension Fund located near your place of residence, you will need to take the following documents with you: in addition to your passport, you will also need a birth certificate for children, and if the certificate does not have a stamp on the receipt of a passport by a child, then the passport of children.
Will your pension increase or not? Only specialists of the Russian Pension Fund will be able to answer this question after your application. But remember, it is not beneficial for everyone to recalculate the pension because the periods of childcare may coincide with the periods of work. And only one option is taken into account in the pension. And it just may not be profitable to issue this supplement to the pension.
