CrimeaPRESS reports:
Next year, military pensions will increase by 4.5 percent, insurance pensions by 7.3 percent, and social pensions by 14.8 percent. This follows from the draft federal budget for 2025-2027, which is currently under consideration in the lower house of parliament. «Parliamentary newspaper» I found out the reason for this difference and the size of the increase in ruble terms.
Plus two thousand for everyone
The government has clarified the inflation forecast: in 2025, prices will increase by 4.5 percent, in 2026 and 2027 — by another 4 percent. This means that all budgetary obligations determined by law will be indexed in accordance with these figures. Including, from October 1, pensions for persons discharged from military and equivalent service. Before indexing the military pension this year, the head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov, said that its average size would be 41.6 thousand rubles. Accordingly, in a year payments should increase to 43.5 thousand.
Insurance pensions, which are paid to everyone who has reached retirement age and has the required length of service and coefficient, are traditionally indexed on January 1. In 2025, they will be increased by 7.3 percent — the inflation rate determined by the Government for the current year. According to the Ministry of Labor, the average old-age insurance pension for non-workers this year was 23.4 thousand rubles. From January it will increase to 25.1 thousand rubles. In addition, next year, for the first time in ten years, the increase will also apply to working pensioners.
People who have not accumulated the required length of service, the disabled and those who have lost their breadwinner can apply for a social pension. These payments are traditionally indexed on April 1. This year the average social pension amounted to 13.5 thousand rubles; from April 2025 it will be 15.5 thousand rubles.
The legally established volume of budget allocations has been adjusted to the growth rate of the pensioner’s subsistence level over the past year in 2025 by 14.8 percent, in 2026 by 4.5 percent and in 2027 by 4 percent, — says the Government’s explanation of the draft budget.
Various mechanisms
Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs Yaroslav Nilov explained to Parliamentary Gazeta that different levels of indexation are associated with “different mechanisms” defined by pension legislation.
Everything is clear with insurance pensions — they are indexed annually from January 1 by the amount of inflation. Social pensions are indexed based on the pensioner’s subsistence level. By April 1, it becomes clear how he has changed. By the way, non-working pensioners receiving a social pension also receive a social supplement if their payments are below the minimum subsistence level established in the region. The point is that a non-working pensioner cannot receive less than the subsistence minimum per month.notes the deputy.
According to the Social Fund as of July 1, there are 7.83 million working pensioners in Russia and 33.2 million unemployed. In total, just over 41 million pension recipients are registered in the SFR system.
