The cost of living in the Altai Territory in 2018
At the beginning of March 2020, the most recent statistics on the cost of living in the region are still data for the third quarter of 2020. There is still no information for the last quarter; as for the third quarter, the data is as follows:
- 9,452 rubles is the cost of living per capita,
- 10,090 rubles - for able-bodied residents of the region,
- 7,693 rubles - for regional pensioners,
- 9,536 rubles - for children of the Altai Territory.
Although there is still no data for the fourth quarter, in any case, it is not they or even the information for the third quarter that have practical meaning in 2020, but PM statistics based on the results of the second quarter of 2017. It is precisely this that underlies social support measures for residents of the region; on its basis, it is determined whether a family is classified as low-income and whether it can qualify for additional budget assistance.
In the second quarter of 2020, the statistics were as follows:
- 9,359 rubles is the cost of living per capita,
- 10,002 rubles - for able-bodied residents of the region,
- 7,592 rubles - for regional pensioners,
- 9,434 rubles - for children of the Altai Territory.
The presented figures are important, including for the calculation of the first or second children who appear in the families of the region in 2020.
Military pension
In the new year, persons who were in military service or equivalent will receive indexing data that took place on October 1 of the current year. The new regulations note that the indexation process is carried out not at the beginning, as it was before, but at the end - in the last quarter.
It follows from this that military pensioners will receive payments over three quarters that will increase by 6.3 percent, that is, the figure varies within twenty-six thousand two hundred rubles every month. After indexation, the pension will increase by 10.1%, that is, by twenty-seven thousand two hundred rubles. – Reported by Deputy Minister of Defense of Russia Tatyana Shevtsova and Deputy Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation Leonid Gornev.
Living wage for a pensioner in the Altai Territory in 2018
As for pensioners, the PM is always set specifically for them, and the statistics of the previous year play only an indirect role in this. For 2020, the authorities of the Altai Territory have set the value of the pensioner's monthly pension in the region at the level of 8,543 rubles
. This is 180 rubles more than the 2020 value.
Let us recall that the pensioner’s monthly income plays a big role in determining the minimum pension in the region. The old-age pension in the Altai Territory in 2018 cannot be less than 8,543 rubles.
According to the existing rules, those pensioners who have a lower pension are paid by the state as much as necessary so that their benefits are equal to the pensioner’s monthly pension. Specifically in the Altai Territory, this rule applies to 102 thousand pensioners.
Minimum salary in the Altai Territory in 2020
As for the regional minimum wage, its federal value has been established in the region, however, taking into account the regional coefficient. Since there are two such coefficients in the region - 1.15 and 1.25, then in various regions of the region the minimum wage from January 1, 2020 is 10,912 rubles 35 kopecks or 11,861 rubles 25 kopecks.
Thus, the minimum wage in the Altai Territory already exceeds the subsistence level, which is one of the main tasks for the entire country for the current year.
Russian authorities regularly notify the population about changes in the subsistence level (LS). This figure is especially important for recipients of state support due to age or disability. The fact is that the minimum accruals for non-working citizens are strictly tied to the minimum wage.
Thus, pensions in the Altai Territory in 2020 will grow following prices and tariffs. After all, they are the ones who influence the calculation of the minimum amount for living.

Pension for the unemployed
It is worth mentioning that in order to receive the minimum pension, you must have at least 11 years of work experience by 2020. You can calculate what payment a citizen whose work experience is less than the specified figure will receive using the formula:
The insurance pension is equal to: accrued points in the amount of 18.6, multiplied by the cost of the identification coefficient (ninety-three rubles) and plus the minimum fixed payment. Its size is 5686 rubles 25 kopecks.
Thus, it turns out that the smallest pension next year will be 7,416 rubles and five kopecks. Again, you need to rely on the budget of the federal district. If a citizen, going on vacation, receives an amount less than the minimum insurance pension, then he must contact the social protection center so that they can issue him an additional payment.
Pensioners with experience will receive an increase of 244 rubles and 47 kopecks. They will receive the first transfer after the freeze on the value of the identification coefficient is lifted in August 2020.
Factors influencing the pension content of residents of the Altai Territory
Due to the uneven economic development of the regions of the Federation, the authorities had to develop a methodology for equalizing the income of the officially disabled population.
At the legislative level, the following rule is established:
- a pensioner cannot receive less than the subsistence minimum;
- additional payment is provided at the request of the applicant;
- its calculation takes into account all regular accruals: the pension amount itself;
- monthly cash payments;
- additional material support;
- other social support measures.
When calculating the pension supplement, social support measures provided in kind are not taken into account.
Attention: the rule of bringing the content to the PM does not apply to employed persons.
The pension amount itself is made up of separate parts, which also affects its size. They are:
- Fixed
, which is a guarantee of the state.
It is the same for everyone and at the beginning of 2020 (before indexing in February) it is 5,334.19 rubles . - The insurance
component is calculated individually based on the following data: length of service; - points accumulated on an individual account.
Basic statistical data for the Altai Territory for 2020
Pensions are financed from the budget. Consequently, the government faces the challenge of finding a balance between raising funds and spending them. The analysis is carried out on the basis of the following data:
Reference: the pension provision of an officially working pensioner may be less than the given minimum. For example, a disabled person of the 3rd group.
Lives in the region 749 620
pensioners. Many receive minimal amounts. In addition, the number of recipients of budget subsidies is constantly increasing. Thus, from 2020 to 2020, pension benefits were assigned to another 40.6 thousand people. An increase in the number of pensioners leads to an increase in the burden on the budget.
Moreover, local authorities are developing and implementing regional measures to support non-working subsidy recipients.
At the end of 2020, the Government of the Russian Federation presented an increase in the minimum amounts of pension benefits. By 2020, the figure is planned to increase to 14.5 thousand rubles.

According to the latest data, over 755 thousand pensioners live in the Altai Territory (437 thousand in cities), which is 31.5% of the population. Since 2011, this figure has increased by 40.6 thousand people.
According to the Decree of the Administration of the Altai Territory dated November 14, 2016 No. 383, in the 3rd quarter of 2020 it amounted to 7243 rubles, with an average of 8931. In 2020, it is planned to increase this amount to 8363 rubles, that is, to the national level.
This indicator is based on the cost of the consumer basket, which is calculated for the basic food set established by law and a list of non-food goods and services. The basket does not include the price of medicines and consumer products.
According to retail chains, food costs in the region vary between 2700-2800 rubles. According to the Unified Interdepartmental Information and Statistical System in 2020, this figure across the country fluctuated between 3516-3824 rubles. Thus, we can conclude that the cost of the minimum set in the Altai Territory is lower.
The average pension payment today is 11,417 rubles, which is 3,700 more than the same figure in 2011. For comparison, the national figure is about 13,100 thousand. Find out in all regions.
For those whose actual payments, as well as the monetary equivalent of benefits in kind, are below the established subsistence level, a federal social supplement to their pension is provided from the budget to the required level.
755 thousand people received compensation payments this year, of which about 197 thousand were employed. The average amount of additional payment in the Altai Territory, according to the Head of Labor and Social Protection, is 1,800 rubles.
Statistical data on pension payments are presented in the table:
2011 | 2012 | 2013 | 2014 | 2015 | |
Total number of pensioners, thousand people | 714.4 | 721.4 | 730.1 | 737.5 | 749.6 |
Their share in the population structure | 29.68 | 30.07 | 30.54 | 30.92 | 31.54 |
Average monthly pensions, rub. | 7717 | 8498 | 9258 | 10063 | 11073 |
Minimum pensions in the region | 3931 | 4209 | 4476 | 4865 | 5354 |
The cost of living, rub. | 4686 | 4980 | 5342 | 6179 | 7154 |
Real amount of assigned monthly pensions, % compared to the previous year | 105 | 102.3 | 102.6 | 97.7 | 100.6 |
Main indicators of pension provision for the population of the Altai Territory (according to Rosstat)
As can be seen from the table, pension payments in the Altai Territory have increased by 43.5% over the past five years.
At the same time, there was an increase in both real payments and the minimum possible. The cost of living in the region is steadily increasing by the Parliamentary Assembly.
However, after the cost of food and utility payments, the average pension leaves about 1,500-2,000 rubles on hand, which classifies pension recipients as poor.

How to apply for benefits for low-income families in Smolensk in 2020
Fringe benefits
Pensioners, as a vulnerable category of citizens, have the right to a number of benefits. At the national level, reductions in taxes on real estate and tax deductions are provided. Pensions and social assistance are not subject to taxes or fees.
In accordance with the pension legislation of the Russian Federation, in 2020 (as well as in previous years), every person living on the territory of the Russian Federation, upon reaching a certain age, is assigned an old-age pension. This type of support is established for the purpose of financial support for citizens who, due to their age, are limited in their former ability to work or, having reached age parameters, cannot work for other reasons.
To receive at least a minimum pension benefit, in addition to reaching retirement age, the recipient must meet other minimum requirements
established by law:
- The main condition for assigning a pension payment is the presence of a certain amount of work experience.
- At the same time, pension provision is provided both for citizens who have earned the required length of service and for those who do not have it.

Types of old-age pensions and conditions for their assignment
Depending on the pension recipient’s compliance with the conditions specified by law, he may be assigned one of the following types of old-age pension:
Insurance pension provision
The old-age insurance pension is assigned in our country more often than other pension payments. The vast majority of pensioners (about 83%) are its recipients. This type of payment is regulated by Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 N 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”
, according to which the right to appoint it is acquired by its recipient if there is:
- Age 60.5 years
for men and
55.5 years
for women. - lasting at least 10 years
. - (IPC) not less than 16.2
.
The above parameters for the amount of insurance experience and IPC are set for 2020 and, according to the law, increase annually. The experience requirement increases by 1 year until it eventually reaches 15 years
, and IPC by 2.4 to the size
30
.
For persons who worked in difficult climatic conditions, as well as in jobs with harmful, particularly difficult or hazardous conditions for health, access to old-age insurance pension benefits is possible earlier than the generally established retirement age, that is. The conditions for assigning an early pension, as well as the list of professions and persons entitled to it, are established by the same law “On Insurance Pensions”
.
Is a pension entitled if there is no work experience?
There are cases when a person, for some reason, did not have the opportunity to work at all or only had temporary official earnings. In a word, by the time he reached retirement age, he was unable to earn enough length of service that would give him the right to an insurance pension. And for this category of citizens, pension support is provided by the state.
If the citizen’s insurance experience and IPC do not reach the minimum amount
, required to establish an old-age insurance pension, or
are absent altogether
, such category of recipients is assigned a pension.
However, to receive this financial support there are conditions that are provided for by the Federal Law “ On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation”
» dated December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ, in accordance with which social old-age pension benefits are assigned to
disabled
persons:
- from among the small peoples of the North
who have reached
55 years of age
(men) and
50 years of age
(women), as well as on the day of granting a pension
permanently residing
in the territory considered inhabited by these peoples. - Citizens of the Russian Federation permanently residing
in our country, as well as citizens of other states, or those without citizenship at all, provided that they have
been permanently residing
in our country
for at least 15 years,
when both reach the age of
65 years
(men) or
60 years
( women).
Pension supplement
After indexation takes place, payments to pensioners will increase by 7% - one thousand rubles. Moreover, these indicators do not take into account bonuses and benefits. Finance for such an operation, as reported by the Russian Government, will appear in the state budget after the reform has been carried out with an increase in the retirement age. That is, the freed money will go to the state Pension Funds.
In addition, this system covers not only payments that were previously budgeted, but also new enrollments. However, this list does not include cash payments to military personnel. Pension growth will be carried out annually from January 1.
It must be borne in mind that the new acts only stipulate the indexation of pensioners who receive their old-age payments (not working or without the proper length of service), people with disabilities and survivors. After retirement, “burnt-out” inflationary additions will not be accrued.
What is the minimum old-age pension in Russia by region?
The concept of “minimum pension”
in itself is very subjective, since in different regions of our country both wages and prices differ significantly from each other, and in some areas, such as the Far North and other areas, regional coefficients are applied to wages. The amount of pension payments depends on many circumstances and may vary in different regions of residence.
If the recipient meets the minimum conditions provided for by law, the old-age pension in 2019 was established in the following amounts:
- Social pension benefit - from April 1, 2020, 5163.2 rubles
(until April 1, 2019 - 4959.85 rubles); - Insurance pension - 6107.46 rubles
(based on data for 2020, see calculation below).
Social pension payments are set to their recipients in a fixed form
, while old age insurance benefit: IPC multiplied by its cost plus a fixed payment.
Depending on the region of residence of the pensioner, the minimum amount of the pension payment received may differ due to the different cost of living in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. This is due to the appointment of one of the measures of social support for pensioners - a supplement to pensions.
Minimum size in 2020
Annual pension payments. The law provides for an increase in pension benefits at the level of actual inflation of the previous year. Now the Government has provided for the indexation of pensions in 2020 more than inflation in 2020 - by 7.05%
(according to calculations, inflation in 2020 was 4.3%):
- at the same time, the cost of the pension coefficient will increase to 87.24 rubles
; - and the fixed payment is 5334.19 rubles
.
Thus, taking into account that from January 1, 2020, the conditions for assigning an insurance pension change (you will already need to have 16.2 pension points), the minimum old-age insurance pension will be:
16.2 x 87.24 + 5334.19 = 6747.48 rubles.
As for social pensions, the Government of the Russian Federation (in particular, the forecast of the Ministry of Economic Development) reports that it will be indexed by only 2.0%, then in 2020 the social old-age pension benefit will be 5163.2 rubles
.
What to do if the pension is less than the subsistence minimum?
Minimum pension amount for a non-working person
a pensioner, by law, should not be below the subsistence level determined by the state for such citizens, while the total income takes into account not only the pension itself, but also additional monthly payments, allowances and compensations.
If the pension recipient’s monthly income is below the pensioner’s subsistence level (PLS), then his pension is set.
Depending on the level to which the pensioner’s maintenance does not reach (in Russia or in the region of residence), a social supplement is assigned to him:
- federal
, paid from funds provided in the Pension Fund budget; - regional
(from the budget of a constituent entity of the Russian Federation).
Accordingly, for its appointment it is necessary to contact the territorial branch of the pension fund or the territorial body of social protection of the population.
Living wage for pensioners in 2020
In 2020, the size of the PMP, which determines the right to receive a federal social supplement, decreased (relative to 2020). The Federal Law on the Budget of the Russian Federation included the minimum subsistence level for a pensioner (in the country as a whole) to determine the social supplement to the pension at the federal level in the amount of 8,540 rubles. This event was aimed at reducing budget costs for the payment of social supplements to pensions.
However, in 2020, the budget included an increased cost of living for a pensioner - 8,726 rubles.
Here it should be taken into account that the social supplement is set to the level of the regional PMP, and in many regions it differs in one way or another from the federal value (maybe either up or down). For example, in Moscow in 2020, a PM was established for receiving social benefits for pensions of 11,561 rubles, and in the Khabarovsk Territory - 10,895 rubles.
