This living wage for a pensioner is established ANNUALLY and is used to calculate the social supplement to the pension.

The living wage, taken into account when providing benefits and calculating social payments in the Russian Federation, is established QUARTERLY.

Social supplement to pension

According to Article 12_1 of Federal Law No. 178-FZ “On State Social Assistance” (04/24/2020)

, the total amount of material support for a non-working pensioner cannot be less than the subsistence level of a pensioner in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

If the amount is less, then a social supplement is assigned from the regional or federal budget. The additional payment is established in such an amount that the total amount of material support for the pensioner, taking into account this additional payment, reaches the minimum subsistence level for the pensioner established in the constituent entity of the Russian Federation.

What does the total amount of material support consist of?

When calculating the total amount of financial support for a pensioner, the amounts of the following monetary payments established in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation and the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation are taken into account:

1. pensions, including the amount of the due old-age insurance pension, taking into account the fixed payment to the insurance pension, increases in the fixed payment to the insurance pension established in accordance with Federal Law N 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” (04/22/2020), and funded pension , established in accordance with Federal Law N 424-FZ “On funded pensions” (October 3, 2018), in the event of a pensioner’s refusal to receive these pensions;
2. urgent pension payment;
3. additional material (social) support;
4. monthly cash payment (including the cost of a set of social services);
5. other measures of social support (assistance) established by the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation in monetary terms (with the exception of measures of social support provided at a time).

The calculation does not take into account social support measures provided in kind, with the exception of cash equivalents of social support measures for paying for telephone use, for paying for residential premises and utilities, for paying for travel on all types of passenger transport (urban, suburban and intercity), and as well as monetary compensation for the costs of paying for these services.

Who receives the minimum pension and what does this minimum depend on?

In Russia, at the federal level, there is a provision that states that the old-age pension in the country cannot be lower than the cost of living of a pensioner for the region in which he lives.

The cost of living for a pensioner is not statistical data that is published once a quarter. Its value is set in the fall of each year for the entire next year, and, as a rule, regional authorities set a value higher than statistical data. Since the pensioner’s cost of living is established in advance, it also takes into account future price increases.

The pensioner’s minimum pension amount, established by the regional authorities, will be the minimum pension for this region.

If a person who is retiring has a monthly payment that is less than the pensioner’s monthly minimum wage in the region, the budget will pay him extra towards his pension as much as necessary to make these values ​​equal.

Of course, if the regional budget can afford additional social payments, the central government will not prohibit them. That is why in Moscow, for some pensioners, the minimum pension is approximately one and a half times higher than the subsistence level.

How is the minimum pension determined in Moscow?

As in any other Russian region, the monthly income of a pensioner in Moscow cannot be less than the cost of living for older people in the city. This procedure exists everywhere, and the amount of the minimum payment to pensioners depends only on how expensive life is in a particular subject of the Russian Federation.

In some cases, the pension itself may be below the subsistence level. This happens when a pensioner has some other income. For example, if it works. In this case, he is paid the amount of pension that was calculated for him in the Pension Fund. Even if it is lower than the cost of living, the pensioner has other sources of income.

But if there is no additional income, the state pays in addition to the pension of any elderly Russian exactly as much as is necessary so that his pension does not fall below the subsistence level.

This procedure applies in Moscow, but it only affects those elderly residents who have lived in the city for less than 10 years. For others, the minimum pension is higher.

The budget of the city of Moscow is so large that the city can afford to incur additional social expenses and guarantee local residents something more than the federal government guarantees them. Therefore, for example, Muscovites of retirement age who have lived in the city for more than ten years can qualify for a higher minimum pension.

Rating of regions according to the cost of living of a pensioner in 2020

The size of the minimum pension in Moscow in 2020

Thus, in Moscow in 2020 there are two minimum pension amounts for city pensioners:

• 11,816 rubles - this minimum is guaranteed to pensioners with less than ten years of living experience in the city (this is the cost of living for a Moscow pensioner for 2020),
• 17,500 rubles - pensioners with more than ten years of living experience in the capital receive no less than this amount.

Over the past ten years (namely, six years ago, in 2012), Moscow has noticeably grown in territory. A large part of the Moscow region was annexed to the city. This is the territory of the so-called New Moscow.

Of course, the question may arise whether its residents can qualify for the Moscow minimum of 17,500 rubles.

Yes, of course, this rule also applies to them. Despite the fact that such people formally became Muscovites only six years ago, in the case when a person was registered in the territories annexed to the capital ten years ago, he is also considered a Muscovite “with experience.”

Pension size for working and non-working pensioners in Moscow in 2020

In 2020, the rules for calculating pensions for working pensioners in the Moscow region will be subject to the same standards as for all Russians. Therefore, they receive an insurance pension and all required payments without indexation.

But this applies only to recipients of insurance payments. If the pension is calculated according to the state pension provision, then they are subject to indexation. These individuals can expect an increase of 4.1%.

If such a citizen stops working, the pension will be indexed at the time of work. If after this such person gets a job again, then the pension remains at the same level and no deductions will be made from it.

Exceptions are provided only for the following groups:

• the pensioner got a job after indexation on January 1;
• The pensioner got a job after indexation on April 1.

No recalculation will be made for them. All pensioners who stopped working can count on indexation of their pensions in 2020. The insurance payment will be increased to 4982 rubles. Its coefficient will also be raised to 81 rubles.

Amounts of payments to certain categories of citizens in Moscow in 2020
