This document is necessary to record the amounts of accrued income to an individual, as well as to control the collection of tax on the income of this person. The functions of control over accounting data lie with the tax authority where the organization is registered or located. For an individual (employee), the document is an official reflection of the source of his income.
Why is such a certificate needed?

At the time of registration of social security, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation displays the amount of the monthly payment in the citizen’s pension certificate. However, due to certain circumstances, the amount may change:
- Release of the law on indexation of pension payments.
- As a result of recalculation. There are situations when additional length of service is recorded or there is an increase in the funded part of the monthly payment.
- When introducing single or regular surcharges of a regional or federal nature.
The question arises in what situations this certificate may be useful:
- If a pensioner contacts a banking institution. They may require a document that reflects the level of income received for a certain past period.
- To assign or confirm preferential conditions for utility or other payments.
- At the time of calculating the amount of child support after 18 years of age in favor of a parent who is a pensioner. This document is required in court, where the need for financial support for the pensioner will be assessed.
- Monitor pension calculations made after indexation or increase.
Insurance part of pension for military personnel
The formula for calculating the insurance part of pensions for retired Russian army employees has been truncated when compared with the formula for calculating payments to civilians. Individual pension points are multiplied by their current price. The product will indicate the size of the insurance part of the pension for a former military man.
For retired military personnel who are not working, the 2nd pension was indexed in January 2019. Payments have increased due to changes in the price of pension points; now it is 87.24 rubles.
The amount of insurance payments for employed former military personnel has not changed. However, it is planned to increase it slightly at the end of summer. The increase is planned to be carried out by increasing the price of pension points that were earned in 2020.
A significant increase in pensions is planned in mid-autumn 2019, when the state recalculates the pension provision for long service. Military pensions will increase by 6.3 percent due to an increase in pay by 4.3 percent and two percent indexation.
A former military man has the right to apply for an insurance pension. However, its size will be smaller than for civilians. This is due to the fact that military pensioners already receive a good basic pension; the state cannot afford to allocate additional funds for their maintenance, especially with the current pension reform.

Features of obtaining a certificate
The certificate is issued in accordance with current legislation. There are several nuances when receiving a document:
- The representative may not receive the service due to lack of consent to the processing of personal data.
- When registering, the reason for the application is not disclosed.
- The law does not limit the number of applications for such a certificate.
- The service does not require payment of state duty.
- The finished document is recorded in the outgoing correspondence journal. This allows the certificate to be given legal force.
- The certificate does not have a validity period. However, if the payment amount changes, the document must be updated.
Why did this situation arise?
What is the reason for such a measure and why did the Pension Fund of Russia so zealously take on Russian citizens? The reason, as always, is simple – lack of funds in the state budget.
The actual funds that should have been allocated to support older citizens are not available in the required quantities. This means they need to be obtained from somewhere.

Old pension certificate and new certificate
» Since 2020, older people do not receive a pension certificate upon retirement.
Instead of this document, pensioners now receive a regular certificate from the Pension Fund. Why did these changes happen and how to get a new certificate? We'll figure it out right now.
The pension certificate is a small red book.
Inside the document are pink pages, on each of which there is a secure sign with a photograph of an elderly person and the seal of the Pension Fund (PFR). The first page contains the document number, the pensioner’s details, the name of the body, and the signature of the owner of the book. The second page has the basis for issuing pension contributions, for example, old-age pension, disability pension, loss of breadwinner, and so on.
In addition, the following information is recorded on this page: the date of assignment of the pension; date of issue of pension; signature of the authorized person of the Pension Fund; FIU seal. The third page stores information such as: pension supplements; Full name of dependents; signature of the Pension Fund employee.
The fourth is intended to extend payments. The fifth is for special marks. Sixth - a reminder for an elderly person. The pension certificate is received directly by the pensioner or by an official through a notarized power of attorney.
Upon receipt of the book, the pensioner signs in a special data book. Certificates that were previously issued to an elderly person continue to be valid despite the cancellation of the issuance of this document from 2020.

Who needs to collect documents to supplement the pension for children?
There are two weighty arguments that play a decisive role in recalculating the pension for an increase for children: 1) if a woman received a pension before the fifteenth year and she has maternity leave that was not taken into account when calculating pension payments, then this is a reason to contact government services to apply for an increase ; 2) the pensioner is supporting a child under 18 years of age, then this is also a good reason to draw up documents for an increase in pension payments from the state. Recently, the conditions for increasing pensions have changed slightly:
- For example, the list of periods included in the insurance period has changed. The newly adopted decree gives the right to increase the period of time during which child care was provided by six years, taking into account all children.
- Now maternity leave, which lasted up to 1.5 years of the child, is assessed in points.
- Such a calculation has its pros and cons. On the one hand, the pension payment will increase, on the other hand, the length of service will become shorter. This calculation will be beneficial for those women who cared for a child before starting work; for them the premium will be more noticeable. Also, the advantage is on the side of those who had a small salary.
Now let’s move directly to the most important question: what documents necessary for recalculating pension payments should be collected by women pensioners.
