Pension provision for residents of Kaliningrad and the Kaliningrad region in 2020

The standard of living of Russians differs depending on the region of residence. Subjects of the Federation have different approaches to organizing economic development, and their conditions are not the same.

The state has taken upon itself the responsibility to maintain the income of disabled, and therefore socially vulnerable, citizens at a certain level. This plan is also linked to the economic prosperity of the region. Thus, the social pension in Kaliningrad is tied to the subsistence minimum.

What is the average and minimum pension in the Kaliningrad region in 2020

Labor pension provision consists of: insurance and funded. Insurance coverage is based on the calculation of the “individual pension coefficients” of the population. All years in which a person was engaged in labor activity are assessed by points. Accumulated points are converted into money at the time of pension assignment. In order for a citizen to have the right to receive pension payments, as of 2020, it is enough for a person to have 6.6 points. However, starting in 2025, this number will increase to 30 points or more. At the time when a person enters pension provision, all the years when the person was engaged in activity are summed up and multiplied by the value of the points, which is established at the time of applying for security.

From the first month of 2020, the amount of the minimum wage will be increased. From the 1st day of 2020, the minimum wage will be 12 thousand rubles, from July this number will increase to 12.5 thousand rubles, and starting from January 1, 2020, the minimum wage will be 13 thousand rubles.

Pension amounts in Kaliningrad in 2020: minimum and average figures

It cannot be said that the pension given to pensioners in Kaliningrad differs significantly from other payments to senior citizens established throughout Russia. According to employees of the Pension Fund, the average pension for Kaliningrad residents in 2020 is 9,440 rubles, and the “minimum wage” is registered at 7,990 rubles, while the cost of living fluctuates within 9,490 rubles.

Pensioners are outraged by a system that does not take into account the needs of older Russians, because how can a minimum pension not cover the minimum subsistence level? The government reassures Kaliningrad residents with admonitions that the corresponding bill is already being prepared, just a little patience remains, the minimum pension will definitely reach the subsistence level, and the average will increase even more. For now, pensioners with a minimum pension are offered to take advantage of additional payments, which together cover the basic needs of every pensioner in Kaliningrad and the region.

Living wage for a pensioner in 2020 by region

Based on the data presented, we can conclude that only in a couple of regions (Tambov and Chuvash regions) the pension minimum does not reach eight thousand rubles. Most regions have it at a level that is below the federal level.

In Russian legislation, the concept of “minimum pension” does not exist in any of the formulations of legislative acts. However, in order to establish the minimum allowance for an elderly person, our country has established the so-called pensioner’s living wage (PMP), which determines the minimum amount on which an elderly person can live in the current economic situation at the moment. According to the draft law, this parameter is divided into federal and regional. Each region legally has the right to establish its own PMP. If a person’s pension does not reach the regional PMS in his region, then according to the law he has the right to apply to the social protection authorities to receive a social supplement up to the level of PMS in his region.

For burial

Funds are paid to close relatives, spouses and legal representatives who actually organized the funeral.
If the funeral was paid for by relatives, then compensation is transferred. The transfer amount is RUB 5,562.25. If there are no relatives, then the payment is due to friends and colleagues who handled the funeral. The procedure for assigning payments is regulated by Law No. 8-FZ of January 12, 1996. To apply for benefits please contact:

• at the place of work of the deceased - to citizens who took upon themselves the costs of organizing the funeral of a citizen who was working on the date of death;

Pension in St. Petersburg in 2020

The first and most important reform in the pension system is to increase the retirement age. This reform will not be introduced into the system immediately. Its implementation will require at least a period of 10 years, during which the retirement age will gradually increase. And at the end it will reach 65 years for men and 60 years for women.

Also another change is the increase and increase in the size of pension payments and social benefits. This is due to the fact that inflation is gaining momentum, prices for food and other foodstuffs are rising, and the size of payments in St. Petersburg is stagnant.

Conditions for assigning payments

Payments are assigned based on the citizen’s initiative. They depend on the type of pension and the situation.

Insurance payments are due to people who are insured and regardless of their citizenship.

People who have reached the age limit:

• Women over 55 years of age;
• Men over 60 years of age;
• Or otherwise if there are preferential grounds.

Disabled persons, taking into account the date of assignment of their disability.

Social. Paid if a citizen does not meet the criteria for experience and points, that is:

• Female population over 60 years of age;
• Male population over 65 years of age;
• Preferential population earlier if there are reasons;
• Disabled people;
• For the loss of a breadwinner.

Savings payments are made along with insurance payments. But provided that the person entered into an agreement with a non-state pension fund.

Living wage for a pensioner in 2020 - table by region

The cost of living for a pensioner for 2020 in Moscow will be determined as before: for someone who has lived in Moscow for more than 10 years, the minimum wage should not be below the minimum wage within the city - this is 17,500 rubles in 2020, for 2020. the figure has not yet been determined.

In addition to the capital, the PM rate is high in Yakutia, Chukotka Autonomous District, Sakhalin and Magadan regions, Kamchatka and Khabarovsk Territory, Yamalo-Nenets and Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug, Murmansk and Arkhangelsk regions, Nenets Autonomous District.

Minimum pension in Kaliningrad in 2020

What will be the minimum old-age pension in 2020? What amount can a non-working pensioner receive less than? The minimum value is already known, it was announced by officials. However, the increase was only 120 rubles. Let's tell you where this figure came from.

To calculate the regional amounts of PMP, on which the size of the minimum pensions for non-working pensioners actually depends, there is currently no single established methodology (each region calculates it in its own way). Therefore, the size of the pension subsistence minimum may be overestimated in some places and underestimated in others.

Pension provision for residents of Kaliningrad and the Kaliningrad region in 2020

1. Basic, the same for everyone. In January 2020 (before the next indexing) it was equal to 4,805.11 rubles.
2. Insurance, determined on the basis of the applicant’s labor investments in the development of the country’s economy:
   length of service (cannot be less than 9 years in 2020);
3. the amount of contributions converted into points (minimum 13.8).
4. Additional payments accrued on the grounds laid down in the laws:
   all-Russian;
5. regional.

Attention: the pension amount includes preferences provided to recipients. If after this he does not reach the PM, then an additional payment is assigned.

The state has taken upon itself the responsibility to maintain the income of disabled, and therefore socially vulnerable, citizens at a certain level. This plan is also linked to the economic prosperity of the region. Thus, the social pension in Kaliningrad is tied to the subsistence minimum.

In Kaliningrad, the reasons for raising the retirement age were named

On June 16, 2020, the Russian government introduced a bill on modernizing the pension system in the Russian Federation to the State Duma. All regions of the country were invited to participate in a broad discussion of the changes. The Kaliningrad region did not stand aside. The chairman of the Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region, Olga Arintseva, took part in the “zero” reading of the bill in Moscow, who spoke about the results of her visit to the capital at a briefing on July 12, 2018.

The Public Chamber of the westernmost Russian region is the only one, according to Olga Arintseva, that has attempted a systematic analysis of the bill on changing the pension system. The Chamber compiled a questionnaire, the questions of which were answered by 80% of the Chamber members.

“Based on the results of the survey, analytics were made. First an electronic and then a paper copy of the analysis was sent to the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation. It was nice to see at the “zero” readings that some of our proposals were taken into account in the draft conclusion of the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation,” said Olga Arintseva.

“I can’t live on a pension of 16,000 rubles”

“People are used to living a certain way, but everything goes on, everything changes. You know, now everyone is talking about whether we will live to see retirement, but the age of survival is a terrible term, incorrect, just like the words “old-age pension,” said the chairman of the Public Chamber of the region.

When asked why change the pension system at all, Olga Arintseva decided to answer not from the height of her position, but from the point of view of a person who not long ago became a pensioner.

“I have almost 35 years of experience, I have been working since I was 15 with breaks for two maternity leave. When I saw my pension, I felt bad - a little more than 16 thousand rubles. Friends and relatives said that I have a luxurious pension in modern times. Of course, I don’t want to leave my job, and it’s not even about the money, but if I leave it, it will only be for 16 thousand rubles. I can’t live for a month. What can we say about people with a pension of 10-11 thousand rubles,” said the chairman of the region’s Public Chamber.

“You’re used to a certain standard of living, but here you have to deprive yourself of some things. At a minimum, this is why the pension system needs to be changed.”

Arintseva added that according to international requirements, the pension should be at least 40% of a person’s earnings. In Russia, pensions do not reach this figure.

Member of the Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region Igor Selivanov and its chairman Olga Arintseva

The issue of “gray” and “black” salaries remains open

It is proposed to raise the retirement age due to the impossibility of filling the Pension Fund. This is according to the official version, of course.

“If people are not sent to retire at all, the Pension Fund will have a surplus. We cannot put the cart before the horse and must understand who is in whose service - the people at the budget, or the PFR budget at the people,” said Olga Arintseva. — The main functionality of a pension is to replace a person’s lost income due to the fact that the person gave all his strength and health to the country. If I’m not mistaken, in our country 2.2 trillion rubles of settlement simply do not reach the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, they are virtually hanging in the air. Because some people agree to receive their salaries in envelopes, while others force them to receive their salaries in envelopes.”

The issue of shadow wages is very acute from the point of view of filling. According to Arintseva, some aspects proposed by the modernization of the pension system may provoke a departure into the “gray” zone.

An encouraging carrot for employers

According to official statistics, in 2020 the share of working pensioners in Russia was 40%, and in 2020 it decreased to 24% - this is due to the suspension of indexation of pensions for working pensioners and their transition to the shadow sector.

“If we now act in the same way with these magical bonuses, like the average thousand in the country, we can provoke the departure into the shadows of those who would prefer to receive a pension supplement, and negotiate with the employer and go into the shadows,” said the chairman of the Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region. areas.

“The members of the chamber and I discussed this point: perhaps, in addition to the stick that stands over the employer in the form of the tax office for collecting these funds, it is worth coming up with some kind of encouraging carrot for employers.”

Such a carrot could be, for example, benefits from the state, both monetary and non-monetary, that an employer will receive for hiring an employee over 50 years of age.

“Our period of youth is lengthening”

According to Olga Arintseva, the majority of Russians aged 50+ do not dream of working, people simply have no other choice.

“A person goes and earns a pretty penny to maintain the standard of living to which he is accustomed. And here the question of health arises. In fact, it’s good when older people work, but we need to take care of the development of such a sector as longevity medicine and geriatrics. We also need to develop a mentality of longevity. The approach must be comprehensive – youth cannot be extended by directly raising the retirement age. Only on paper and only in mathematics. We risk going broke on sick leave and disability pay. The issue of health is the most important,” said the chairman of the Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region.

So is it necessary to change the pension system or not?

The Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region recognizes two most important postulates:

A) Yes, the pension system needs to be changed, reconstructed, modernized.

B) This needs to be done systematically, taking into account the contact between the pension system and a huge number of other systems.

According to Olga Arintseva, the Public Chamber advocates not only for informing people through the media, but also for educating people so that they can be taught to live in new conditions.

“We believe it is right, in pursuance of the same May presidential decrees, when designing pension changes, to pay attention not to the direct accounting action of filling the pension budget, but to a real increase in people’s living standards, a real increase in people’s life expectancy, promoting the economy as a whole, increasing wages, and then pensions will be normal,” Arintseva added.

What else were they talking about in the Public Chamber? That the pension system should take into account people’s long-term plans, because many 54-year-old women have already thought through their lives five to six years in advance and a delay at work of several years was not part of their plans.

“Perhaps we need some kind of moratorium on this immediate group, maybe we need some other regulatory tools. The interests of new non-retired people also need to be taken into account,” said Olga Arintseva.

An innovation from the Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region, which no one had proposed before - when calculating pensions, take into account the contribution to the labor economy on a free basis, that is, volunteering.

“Maybe give people the opportunity to choose: early exit and a smaller pension or late exit and a larger pension. The issue of granting the right to choose the method of future old age is reflected in our recommendations, including the option when a person enters into an agreement with the state in advance that no one owes anyone anything. There are such precedents and perhaps this option is worth considering,” Arintseva added.

Problems associated with raising the retirement age

As it turns out, there are plenty of problems. And they concern not only the health of older workers, but their demand in the labor market.

The Public Chamber proposes to transform the system of retraining of older personnel, to pay attention to the development of professions that are not paid according to the “gray” scheme. Olga Arintseva included such professions as a specialist in home care for the elderly, a tutor and a house manager.

“It will be necessary to introduce restrictions on the types of work that people can perform from the point of view of their health, and not just their qualifications,” noted the chairman of the OP.

A number of other problems are associated with the efficiency of management of the pension system by the Pension Fund itself.

What the Public Chamber of the Kaliningrad Region proposed in Moscow

The bill on modernizing the pension system in Russia must have good information support. In the bill, members of the Kaliningrad Public Chamber did not see professional expert conclusions, calculations and research; they also did not take into account regional characteristics, including life expectancy of the population; there is no assessment of the real working capacity and morbidity of the population. The bill must guarantee employment and non-discrimination against older generations.

“Of course, no one inserted quotes from our proposals, we are not the only region, but I read the document with proposals from all regions, and it was clear that we are there. I asked to join the working group on pension reform at the Public Chamber of the Russian Federation as a representative of one of the regions of the Northwestern Federal District,” said Olga Arintseva.

At the meeting in Moscow, according to Arintseva, it was said that the bill on modernizing the pension system contains practically no calculations or justifications, and the accompanying note even states that it (the bill) will not entail any financial costs.

“This is nonsense!” commented the chairwoman of the Kaliningrad region’s OP.

In conclusion, Olga Arintseva added that the analysis prepared by the Public Chamber and its presentation in Moscow is just the tip of the iceberg and the work ahead is long and extensive. The law in the State Duma of the Russian Federation must go through several readings, by the fall the regions will prepare a number of more proposals, so there is no need to panic ahead of time, but there is also no need to relax. You will have to work, the only question is - how much, or rather, how long?
