Money question: who will have their pensions increased from May 1

CrimeaPRESS reports:

In May, those celebrating their 80th anniversary, elderly people who were in the care of disabled relatives, as well as pensioners who decided to leave work for a well-deserved rest will be able to receive an increased pension in May. How much will their payments be increased and who else can count on an increase in pensions? «Parliamentary newspaper».

Gift for anniversaries

In May, increased pensions will be paid to people who turned 80 in April. The amount of the supplement is one hundred percent of the fixed part of the pension. In 2024 it is 8134 rubles 88 kopecks.

Also, the fixed payment will be doubled for elderly people who have received group I disability.

It is important to remember that the fixed payment is doubled only on one of these two grounds, that is, if the pension was increased, for example, when a person received the first group of disability, then the second time, when he reaches 80 years of age, it will not be increased.

The Social Fund issues this additional payment automatically; you do not need to submit an application for this.

Help for Trustees

Elderly people who have disabled relatives under their care, for example children, grandchildren, brothers and sisters under 18 years of age, can also apply for an additional payment to their pension. If they are full-time students, the additional payment will be accrued until they turn 23 years old.

The additional payment for one dependent relative is a third of the fixed payment towards the pension; if there are two dependents, the amount of the additional payment will be doubled. If a pensioner has three or more people to support, the additional payment will be higher than one hundred percent of the fixed payment.

This type of additional payment is issued when a pension is assigned. However, if an elderly person began caring for disabled relatives later, for example in April, then he needs to submit an application to the Social Fund to increase his pension. To confirm the right to payment, he will be asked for a number of documents. For example, a child’s birth certificate or marriage certificate, a certificate from the place of study.

After dismissal

Elderly people who worked after receiving a pension, but ultimately decided to retire, will also receive an increased pension in May. In Russia, since 2016, there has been a moratorium on indexation of pensions for working pensioners. However, after dismissal, their payments are immediately increased, and the size of the increase takes into account all missed indexations.

Pensions are recalculated from the 1st day of the month following the month of dismissal. The Social Fund does this automatically; you do not need to submit an application for this. However, the recalculation itself takes time; this process takes 2-3 months. There is no need to worry: the money will not be lost during this period. When the recalculation is made, pensioners will be credited with the difference between the new and previous pensions for the entire waiting period.

For pilots and miners

In May, the monthly pension supplement will be recalculated for civil aviation flight crew members and coal industry workers. They are entitled to these payments in connection with harmful, dangerous, stressful and difficult working conditions.

The additional payment is made up of funds that employers transfer for these employees, Svetlana Bessarab, a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs, explained to Parliamentary Gazeta.

By law, the amount of payments is adjusted four times a year — on February 1, May 1, August 1 and November 1. The pension supplement is individual for everyone. It depends on the average monthly earnings and length of service, which gives the right to additional payment.
