CrimeaPRESS reports:

Elena Gaivoronskaya, Head of the SFR Branch for the city of Sevastopol, held a meeting with representatives of the Trade Union of Civilian Personnel of the Black Sea Fleet of the Russian Armed Forces. She spoke about the results of the work of the Social Fund of Russia since the beginning 2023 of the year.

The Pension and Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation was established on January 1 2023 by reorganizing the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with the simultaneous addition of the Social Insurance Fund to it Russian Federation. The goals of the association are to simplify the procedure for payments, and not change the rules for their appointment , — the press service quotes Elena Gayvoronskaya.

All federal social assistance measures can be issued on a single request. To do this, four client services are located at the same addresses. Sevastopol residents continue to receive pensions and social benefits provided for by law, while the dates for the delivery of pensions and benefits remain unchanged.

According to the manager, the combination of the two funds will also reduce the administrative burden for employers. Previously, employers formed separate calculations for each type of social insurance, separate payments, and submitted reports to both the PFR and the FSS. To significantly simplify the procedure for paying insurance premiums, a single tariff has been introduced. Thanks to this, it is enough for employers to generate one calculation and send one payment.

In the 2023 year, the planned indexation of pensions and the increase in social payments continued. Thus, in January indexation of insurance pensions was carried out by 4.8%. The average amount of the old-age insurance pension was 25,11 rubles.

Since February 1, the size of a number of social payments, benefits and compensations has increased by 11,9%. In total, over 40 various social support measures have been indexed. Including indexed monthly cash payment and a set of social services .

The maternity capital for the first child since February amounted to 586 946, 30 rubles. The amount of increased maternity capital, if both children appeared since 2020 year, increased to 775 444,25 rubles.

In 2023 a new special payment appeared for medical workers in primary health care, central district, district and district hospitals, as well as those employed at stations and in emergency departments. The amount of payments, depending on the type of medical organization and the specialty of the employee, ranged from 4.5 to , 5 thousand rubles per month.

Thanks to the pooling of funds, the registration of support measures has become more convenient, which is especially important for people with disabilities. Since last year, insurance and social disability pensions have been assigned automatically according to the Federal Register of Disabled Persons — without contacting the customer service and collecting any documents.

Since January of this year, a number of social support measures, which were previously provided by social protection authorities, have been transferred to the OSFR in the city of Sevastopol. Thus, almost all residents of the city have become clients of the Social Fund. During the 2022 year, 25 billion rubles were allocated for the payment of pensions and benefits to the residents of the region. Expected expenses in 2023 year — 05 billion rubles , — says Elena Gayvoronskaya.

At the end of the meeting, she answered the questions of trade union members, in particular, about the indexation of pensions for working pensioners. After termination of employment, there is no need to apply to the Social Fund. The fact of the implementation of the work will be determined automatically by the Social Fund. When a pensioner retires, he will begin to receive a full pension, taking into account all indexations that have passed during his period of work. In an indexed amount and with an additional payment, it will come after 2 months.

If the pensioner worked as an individual entrepreneur, then the receipt of an insurance pension, taking into account indexation, will resume after receiving data on his deregistration with the Federal Tax Service as an individual entrepreneur or a representative of another category of the self-employed population.
