More than 100 thousand Sevastopol residents will begin to receive increased payments from the Social Fund of Russia

CrimeaPRESS reports:

In January, the Sevastopol branch of the Social Fund will index the majority of payments provided to Russians in accordance with the Fund’s budget for the next year, which Russian President Vladimir Putin approved at the end of November along with other related laws.

101,864 Sevastopol pensioners, disabled people and families with children will receive an increase in the prescribed payments. Thus, from January 1, 2024, insurance pensions will be indexed by 7.5%, but as before, payments taking into account indexation will be made to non-working pensioners. In turn, working pensioners will be able to receive an indexed pension after leaving work. As a result of indexation, the average old-age insurance pension for Sevastopol pensioners will increase to 20.5 thousand rubles. All planned annual pension increases are made automatically, so pensioners do not need to apply anywhere,” the department’s press service reported.

The minimum level of pension provision for non-working Sevastopol residents will not be lower than the subsistence level of a pensioner in the region — RUB 13,555.00. If the amount of the pension, together with other payments due to a non-working pensioner, is below the subsistence level, then a regional social supplement will be established for him through the Department of Labor and Social Protection of the Population of Sevastopol.

In connection with the increase in the cost of living in the region of residence in 2024, the monthly benefit in connection with the birth and raising of a child (single benefit), as well as the monthly payment from maternity capital for a child under 3 years of age, will increase.

In addition, maternity payments will be increased in 2024. Thus, from January 1, the minimum and maximum amount of maternity benefits will increase:

• in 140 days: min. — 88,565.40 rubles, max. — 565,562.20 rubles.
• in 156 days: min. — 98,687.16 rubles, max. — 630,197.88 rubles.
• in 194 days: min. — 122,726.34 rubles, max. — 783,707.62 rubles.

From February 1, the minimum amount of child care benefits for working citizens will increase up to 1.5 years. In addition, from the beginning of the year it will be possible to leave work leave early and not lose benefits until the child turns 1.5 years old. From 2024, these payments will be accrued simultaneously with your salary, even after returning from maternity leave full time. The amount for a particular parent depends on his salary for the two previous years, taking into account the minimum and maximum established by law.

In February 2024, maternal family capital (MSC) will increase by 7.5%. Its amount for the first child will be 630,967.72 rubles, at the birth of the second or subsequent (if the right to MSC did not previously arise) — 833,800.37 rubles. The balance of MSC funds after partial use will also increase.

According to the level of forecast inflation in February 2024, monthly cash payments to citizens with disabilities, veterans, benefits for radiation victims, those injured at work, and other support measures will be indexed.

From April 1, 2024, social pensions will be indexed by 7.5%, taking into account the growth rate of the cost of living of a pensioner in the Russian Federation over the past year.

In August 2024, the pensions of pensioners who worked in 2023 will traditionally be adjusted.

The Social Fund will carry out all increases without application, so Sevastopol residents do not need to go anywhere or submit any applications to receive payments in the indexed amounts.
