Who will become a pensioner
In 2020, 93,971 working pensioners in the Penza region received a recalculation of their insurance pension, and 144 people were able to retire early, having earned considerable length of service.
The manager of the PFR branch for the Penza region, Mikhail Budanov, spoke about pension provision for residents of the “ML” region.
— Mikhail Yuryevich, in 2020, several categories of citizens for the first time had the opportunity to retire early. Has anyone already taken advantage of this right?
— From January 1, 2020, for the first time, those who have significant work experience received the right to early retirement. For women it is 37 years old, for men it is 42 years old. They can retire 2 years earlier than the new retirement age stipulated by law - 60 years for women and 65 for men, but not earlier than 55 and 60 years, respectively.
When calculating such length of service, only those periods of work for which insurance contributions were paid to the Pension Fund and periods of temporary disability (sick leave) are taken into account. Please note that study, military service, child care and other non-insurance periods are not included in the length of service for such early retirement!
From January to December 2020, 144 people were able to apply for a preferential pension for long service. According to our preliminary estimates, 153 residents of the Penza region will receive this right next year.
— Until 2020, mothers with five or more children had the right to early retirement. From 2020 - those with three and four children. It turns out that now all women with many children can retire early?
— In 2020, women who gave birth and raised five or more children before they reach the age of 8 will continue to have the right to early retirement from the age of 50. Moreover, they must have at least 15 years of experience and at least 18.6 pension points.
Four years earlier than the new retirement age - at 56 years old (60 - 4 = 56) - a woman who gave birth and raised four children before they reached the age of 8 can retire. The requirements for granting a preferential pension are the same - at least 15 years of experience and 18.6 points. Mothers who have given birth and raised three children will retire at 57, three years earlier than the generally established retirement age.
Mothers of large families with four children will begin early retirement in 2021, and those with three - in 2023. Before this, it will be more profitable for them to retire on a general basis while the transition period is in effect.
— What is this transition period and who does it apply to?
— In Russia, a new retirement age was established: 60 years for women and 65 for men. But those who turn 55 and 60 years old in 2020, 2020, 2021 and 2022, respectively, will be able to retire a little earlier.
Thus, the right to a pension in 2020 will be acquired by citizens who reached the age of 55/60 in the second half of 2020. These are women born in 1964 and men born in 1959. The former will retire at 55.5 years, the latter at 60.5. The main condition is that you must have at least 11 years of insurance experience and at least 18.6 individual pension points.
Women born in 1965 and men born in 1960 will retire in the second half of 2021 and the first half of 2022 at 56.5 and 61.5 years, respectively (see table).
— Parents raising disabled children often forget about their right to early retirement. Especially if this disability is removed from the child after a course of treatment and rehabilitation. Under what conditions will such an early pension be granted in 2020?
— One of the parents of a disabled child or a person disabled since childhood, regardless of whether his disability has been removed or not, has the right to early retirement. The mother of such a child can retire at 50 years old, and the father at 55, if they raised the child until he reached the age of 8 years.
But, let me emphasize, one of the parents! If mom takes advantage of her right to a preferential pension, then dad will no longer be able to do this, and vice versa.
The conditions for receiving such a pension are at least 15 years of service and at least 18.6 pension points.
— How many pensioners are there in the Penza region and what kind of pension do they receive?
- 447.1 thousand people. This takes into account military personnel who receive an old-age insurance pension. 33.9 percent of the permanent population of the Penza region are pensioners.
Of these, 393.6 thousand people (89.3 percent) receive insurance pensions, 47.1 thousand (10.7 percent) receive social pensions and state pensions.
Last year there were more pension recalculations than in previous years. This is due to changes in pension legislation, federal laws “On State Social Assistance” and “On the Living Wage in the Russian Federation”.
Thus, in January 2020, insurance pensions were indexed by 7.05 percent, in April state and social pensions - by 2 percent. As a result, the average pension in the region increased by 6.7 percent and today is 13,071 rubles 10 kopecks. If we take the average size of only the old-age insurance pension in the region, then it amounted to 13,799 rubles. It increased by 898 rubles 24 kopecks.
In January 2020, almost 406 thousand non-working pensioners will receive an increase in their insurance pension. Indexation will be 6.6 percent. This is higher than the 2020 inflation rate. As a result, the average insurance pension in the Penza region will be 14,374 rubles 52 kopecks.
The size of the fixed payment has increased to 5,686 rubles 25 kopecks since the new year. For disabled people of the first group and citizens over 80 years old, it will be 11,372 rubles 50 kopecks.
— There are statistics: residents of the Penza region began to apply to the Pension Fund more often. Why?
— Indeed, the number of citizens’ appeals to the Pension Fund of Russia is growing. Thus, in 2020, the number of written requests received by the regional department and its territorial bodies increased by 23 percent compared to 2020.
This suggests that people want to know their pension rights and are interested in the changes that are taking place in pension legislation.
The most common questions we get asked are about pensions. They relate to a low pension, the right to early retirement, and bonuses for work in agriculture.
The number of requests regarding information about individual personal accounts has tripled. Citizens are actively interested in this data, because the right to receive a pension and its size depend on it.
