Benefit for pensioners with children. Pension supplement for three children

According to the letter of the law, persons who have reached retirement age but continue to carry out professional activities and who have a dependent who is a minor child may qualify for a pension supplement. The additional payment to the pension for a minor child to a working pensioner will be determined individually in each case. It can be calculated in the form of:

• a specified percentage applied to the basic pension rate;
• pension points.

We’ll tell you exactly how to get the bonus you’re looking for, where to go, and what to expect in the following material.

How to apply for a supplement to the pension for children

As you know, pensioners are a category of citizens who, in general, have a greater number of benefits than other residents of our country. The thing is that pensions rarely provide them with a truly decent standard of living, and they cannot work at the same pace. Therefore, Russian state policy involves various types of support for the desired category of persons.

In particular, in this case we are talking about a pension supplement for minor children. It is needed by pensioners who, for example, were able to have a child shortly before reaching retirement age, and at the time of filing an application for recalculation of payments from the state, he is still a minor, that is, a dependent requiring:

• full provision of his existing needs;
• constant assistance from parents, who are the only source of funds necessary for his existence.

In this case, the dependent must have:

• biological connection with a pensioner;
• other legalized family relationship with the person applying for an increased pension.

Thus, we can conclude that the supplement to the pension for children is due only to those pensioners who fully support their own children, providing them with:

• housing;
• clothes;
• education and other needs;

It should be understood that in addition to minor children, dependents may also be the offspring of pensioners who:

• are disabled for any reason;
• may be adults, but are studying at higher educational institutions or other organizations.

The required pension supplement is established at the following two state levels:

• federal;
• local.

This means that the budget for the payment of pensions and their amount will be formed not only through government regulations, but also taking into account the capabilities of each specific subject of the Russian Federation.

Supplement to pension payments at the local and federal levels

Let's look at one very important issue: which payments are allocated from the federal budget and which from the regional budgets. Let's look at the information we are interested in in the table below.

Table 1. To whom are pension payments allocated from the federal and regional budgets intended?

Federal budget

Regional budget

Thus, the funds that go to pensioners from the federal budget of our state are aimed directly at supporting children who: were left orphans due to the death of their parents; are dependent on pensioners.

As for the money allocated by the regions, it must be said that in each municipality the authorities are developing specialized programs to support pensioners. In the required case, persons of retirement age who are: mothers raising a child alone; breadwinners for large families. The size of the regional payment will be determined individually in each case. The main requirements for pension recalculation will be the following conditions: the absence of a second parent for a child supported by a pensioner; presence of three or more children; termination of employment, officially confirmed; participation in the registration of insurance category coverage due to reaching retirement age.

Conditions for granting the allowance

The presented type of pension supplement for persons of retirement age who have assumed the responsibility to provide for dependents who are related to them is carried out only if the following conditions are met:

1. Persons receiving pension payments who are not employed elsewhere receive additional payment without the need to provide evidence of their entitlement, in the case where the children are minors.
2. If we are talking about receiving an allowance for children who are adults, but are unable to work independently, it will be necessary to submit documents for consideration to the Pension Fund that will prove the required condition of these dependents.
3. To apply for a supplement for children studying at higher educational institutions and who are adults, you must provide a certificate from the educational institution.

Procedure for applying for an allowance

Today, receiving the payment we are interested in is possible, provided that it is carried out in accordance with certain rules. We present a list of stages that you will need to go through to get the desired bonus.

1. Writing an application and submitting it, complete with documents confirming your eligibility, to the Pension Fund of our country.
2. Receipt by the desired government agency of the papers you submitted and consideration of the application.
3. Representatives of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation make a decision and notify the pensioner about it.

The period for reviewing documents on your application will be no more than 10 working days. After their expiration, and possibly earlier, you will receive official notification regarding the results of the review.

You can submit your application for consideration not only directly to the Pension Fund specialists, but also through:

• state portal "State Services";
• Multifunctional Center.

However, in this case, you should understand that if you do not hand over the documents directly to the PF specialist, the waiting period increases to 30 days.

What documents are needed to receive additional payment to the pension for children?

As we have already said, in order to receive a cash supplement, you need to collect a package of documents confirming your right to possess the funds you are looking for. We are talking about the following papers.

1. An application with a request to recalculate your pension, adding an increase for children to its amount.

2. Documents for dependents:

• passports;
• birth certificates.

3. The pensioner’s work book in the form of an original and a notarized copy.

4. A certificate stating that other specialized additional payments do not receive:

• dependents;
• pensioner;
• spouse of a pensioner.

5. Provided that the pensioner is an individual entrepreneur, he must provide a certificate of registration of the individual entrepreneur with the tax service.

6. A paper confirming the fact that specific individuals are dependent on a pensioner - usually this is a certificate of joint residence of persons.

7. A certificate from the university, which will indicate:

• dependent's form of education;
• date of enrollment at the university;
• date of expected completion of training.

8. An extract from a person's pension account.

9. Provided that you have already applied for an allowance, you will have to renew it every year. In this case, each time you will need to submit for consideration to the Pension Fund:

• work book;
• a certificate indicating that the dependent and the pensioner are registered at the same address;
• documents for the student.

How is the pension increase for children calculated?

According to the current legislative acts in force in the field of calculating pension payments in favor of persons supporting a dependent, the current amount of allowances for the type of accrual we are interested in is:

• cannot be less than the current living wage in Russia;
• is subject to annual indexation, after which its size will be increased;
• subject to regulation by legislative acts in force in the required area in the territory of a specific region of the country;
• is calculated according to the specific category to which the pensioners applying for payment belong.

When calculating the amount due to a particular pensioner, Pension Fund employees take into account the following factors:

• the number of children dependent on the pensioner: minors, students, disabled people;
• current age of a person of retirement age;
• family place of residence;
• whether the pensioner has employment;
• belonging to the category of military personnel, athletes, etc.

Now let's look at the specific amounts discussed in this article.

Additional payment for mothers of many children

Pensioners who are mothers of many children have the right to:

• early payment of pension;
• obtaining pensioner status upon reaching 50 years of age, provided that the total length of service as a citizen is 15 years or more.

The amount of additional payments for mothers with many children is determined according to:

• region of residence of the family;
• the current demographic situation in a specific subject of the Russian Federation.

Supplement to pension for a child born in the USSR before 1990

Starting from 2017, women pensioners have the right to receive an additional payment to their pension for the birth of children before 1990, provided that they reached retirement age before the year the law on this pension payment was adopted.

In the image below you can see the number of points that will be awarded to female pensioners in this category.

Video - Supplement to pension for children born before 1990

Additional payment per student

So, for example, when calculating an additional payment for a dependent student, the amount of payment will also be determined by many additional circumstances. If a person provides support for a full-time student, then the amount of the fixed allowance for one child will be 1 thousand 607 rubles and 7 kopecks. Accordingly, in order to calculate the allowance for two dependent students, it is necessary to multiply the specified fixed amount by half.

Additional payment for a minor

In addition, various circumstances affecting payments will also be taken into account when determining the amount of payment for minor children.

Provided that the pensioner is not disabled and does not have the right to receive other types of social category payments, or to receive any benefits other than pension insurance, he may qualify for payments in the following amounts.

1. Provided that a person of retirement age is not yet 80 years old, he/she applies for the following benefits:

• 3 thousand 416 Russian rubles per child;
• 4 thousand 270 rubles for two children;
• 5 thousand 124 rubles for three.

2. Citizens whose age has reached or exceeded 80 years have the right to receive support from the state for a dependent in the amount of:

• 5 thousand 978 rubles per child;
• 6 thousand 832 rubles for two;
• 7 thousand 686 rubles for three children.

Additional payment for disabled people and residents of certain areas

Pensioners who are disabled and receive an appropriate benefit, or live in the Far North, or in other regions, under conditions equivalent to it, receive bonuses in amounts varying:

• from 4 thousand 4 rubles 26 kopecks;
• up to 21 thousand 623 rubles.

You can see the payout amounts in more detail in the image below.

What additional payment for children is due for a military pensioner?

Military pensioners receive a pension for their length of service, which is calculated in accordance with the relevant legislative acts. They are also expected to receive additional pension payments, which, however, can only be received if dependent persons do not receive:

• other insurance category security;
• other provision for the pension category.

The amount of the required payment for military pensioners is determined according to the percentage relative to the pension already accrued to him. It can be:

• 32% of the pension for one dependent;
• for two people the percentage rises to 64 units;
• for three dependents, 100% of the pension amount is subject to addition.

In one of the special articles we will consider what is required

Who is entitled to an additional payment to the pension for children? You can find out about the conditions, procedure for calculating and paying this type of allowance in this article. We also recommend that you read the latest information about:

Which pensioners are entitled to an increase for minors and adult children?

The current legislation of the country provides for cases when the amount of pension payments received can be increased. Thus, the provisions of Federal Law No. 400 state that A pension supplement for children can be accrued if:

• periods of caring for infants born during the Soviet era were not taken into account when applying for insurance benefits (until 2015);
• The citizen's dependents include minors or disabled family members. In other words, in cases where a pensioner is involved in raising and maintaining children who have not reached the age of majority (or in other situations provided for by law), he is entitled to a subsidy to the basic amount of the benefit.

It is also worth noting that for persons who have received a pension through the Ministry of Defense, the procedure for assigning and calculating additional payments for dependents is regulated by Federal Law No. 4468-1.

Types of pension benefits for women

An increase to the basic amount of insurance payments can be accrued to only one of the parents, most often the recipient is a woman. The law defines the following basic conditions to calculate an increase in pension for children born during Soviet times:

• these periods were not taken into account when assigning benefits; accordingly, a certain number of pension points were not taken into account when calculating insurance payments;
• registration of pension until 2015;
• caring for a child up to one and a half years of age. When submitting documents for the calculation of an allowance, it is very important for a citizen to prove this fact.

It is worth saying that recalculating benefits to calculate an increase is not always beneficial for women (except for mothers of many children). Citizens can also apply for additional payment in cases where they have minor children as their dependents.

How much do they pay extra?

Article 17 of Federal Law No. 400 establishes that for each disabled family member it is possible to increase the fixed payment by 30% from the amount established by law, but not more than for three persons. For 2018, the specified amount is 4982.90 rubles.

The law defines disabled family members as:

• persons under 18 years of age;
• disabled people;
• pensioners;
• adult citizens who have not reached 23 years of age, provided that they are studying full-time at an educational institution.

How much do they add for adult children?, born before 1991? The allowance is calculated in accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation. The calculation looks like this (for a year and a half):

• one child - 2.7 individual coefficients;
• two children - 5.4 points;
• three or more - 8.1 coefficient.

For the current year 1 pension point is equal to 81.49 rubles.

Calculation of pension supplement for children

What kind of help do women receive? When calculating the increase in the basic amount of the pension, many factors are taken into account: the number of children, their age, the time of registration of the pension benefit, etc.
In each specific case, the amount of charges will be different. In order to find out in advance about the size of a possible increase, you should contact the Pension Fund for advice.

Accrual example

Example: a woman with 3 children has retired from work. After 2015, she learned that for the birth of a child before 1991, pensioners can claim compensation from the state. The calculation of the amount of such additional payment will look like this:
81.49*8.1= 660.07 rubles.

Is there a supplement for minor children and in what amount? The following will help you understand this issue: example: citizen Sergeeva, who has the right to apply for a disability insurance benefit, when drawing up an application for a pension at the local branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, indicated information about the presence of 2 children (10 and 12 years old). This means that she has the right to receive additional payments in the amount of 30 percent of the fixed payment (RUB 4,982.90) for each child. The amount of increase for citizen Sergeeva will be 2,989.74 rubles.

Documentation

Possibility of obtaining a supplement to the benefit for adult children implemented by submitting an application for recalculation of the received amount in the established form to government authorities. Along with the notice, It is necessary to collect and provide the following documents:

• citizen's passport;
• work book;
• insurance certificate (SNILS);
• documents proving the birth of children;
• certificates confirming that the child has reached the age of one and a half years. Such evidence may include his identity card, school completion certificate, diploma from an educational institution and other information.

It is worth noting that in the current legislation of the Russian Federation there is liability for providing false information in advance.

The application form for recalculation of payments is freely available on the official page of the PRF. This notice can also be found at your local Pension Fund office.

Allowances for pensioners for minors can be issued when granting a pension. So, when filling out an application for accrual of insurance benefits, a citizen must indicate information about family members who are dependent on him. If this information is not in the pension file of the pensioner, he can apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with an application to increase the amount of the benefit.

In addition, a citizen should collect the following documents:

• passport;
• birth certificate of minor family members;
• a document confirming the fact that there is no additional payment for persons dependent on the pensioner;
• order for enrollment in full-time classes. (If the son/daughter is studying full-time at an educational institution).

It is worth noting that local PFR units may require other documents that confirm additional circumstances.

Where to submit?

The application and the necessary package of written information must be submitted to the Pension Fund of Russia (to its territorial structures). This can be done in several ways:

• personally;
• through an authorized representative of a citizen who is entitled to an additional payment (in this case, legal grounds for such representation must be provided);
• using Russian Post services;
• through the management of the Multifunctional Center (MFC).

It is worth noting that an application for recalculation (or assignment) of a pension can be submitted online on the official portal of the Pension Fund or State Services.

Deadlines

Article 23 of Federal Law No. 400 establishes the terms for consideration of the application and the accrual of this type of allowance. The specified regulatory legal act contains information that the notification of the established form and the package of documents necessary for the recalculation of benefits must be considered within 1 working week. The countdown begins from the day the full amount of information is provided. Pension Fund employees, in cases specified by law, may provide a person with additional time to collect documents.

A citizen has the right to receive payment on the first days of the next month.

Methods of receiving payments

Having learned about who is receiving the benefit amount, you should consider the procedure for calculating payments. The bonus for adults and minor children is paid along with the basic amount of the pension benefit. The legislation defines the following ways to receive an insurance pension:

• through a trusted person. (In cases where he legally represents the rights and interests of someone who can count on a bonus);
• using banking services;
• through post offices;
• with the help of courier organizations that cooperate with the Pension Fund.

The list of these institutions can be found in the territorial division of the pension authority. Information is also available on the main Internet page of the Pension Fund. The method of receiving payments is determined at the request of the pensioner. At any time, he can change his decision and submit an application to the local Pension Fund authorities to change the procedure for receiving pension benefits.

Useful video

In the following video, you can not only get acquainted with information about who receives an increase in pension for adults and minor children. But also find out what additional payment awaits citizens in 2018:

In July 2017, regional branches of the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) began to provide in open sources (meaning numerous publications in the media and on the official website of the PFR) long-awaited explanations regarding the excitement that has developed in many regions of the country around the so-called “increase in pension for children pensioners."

According to previously circulated rumors, retired women, by submitting a corresponding application to the Pension Fund of Russia, can receive supplement to pension for children born before 1990(or generally in Soviet times until 1991 - including for adult children born before 1980), the amount of which for each child can reach up to several hundred rubles(accordingly, the more children a pensioner mother has, the larger the supplement will be).

Attention

Many women who independently addressed the Pension Fund on this issue, really got it a permanent supplement to the pension for children, which caused an unprecedented stir among other pensioners. This led to the formation of huge queues at Pension Fund client services in 2017 and forced their employees to provide detailed explanations.

What payments are pensioners entitled to for children?

Let us immediately note that we are not talking about some kind of independent payment! An increase in pension for children is obtained as a result of recalculation due to the fact that according to the new law, from January 1, 2015, the rules for calculating the labor pension (assigned both for old age upon reaching retirement age and for disability) have changed, and now its size, in addition to periods of work, is also affected by "non-insurance periods"- in particular, one of the parents (usually the mother) cares for each child until he reaches 1.5 years of age (Article 12 of Federal Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013).

To avoid any additional misconceptions in the future, you can immediately highlight for yourself the most important points regarding receiving this increase:

1. For those pensioners who retired after January 1, 2015, no need to apply for recalculation, since the most profitable option has already been calculated and assigned for payment. Recalculation is due only if the woman has non-insurance periods that are not taken into account when a pension is assigned before January 1, 2015 or taken into account according to the old rules, for which pension points are now awarded in accordance with the new law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ.

Deadline for submitting an application for recalculation of pensions for women for children not limited in time- in other words, you can apply at any time, not only by personally contacting your branch of the Pension Fund, but also:

• through multifunctional MFC centers- this opportunity is already available in most regions or will be available in the near future;
• submitting an application remotely- via the Internet through a single portal of government services or by mail.

2. Obtained as a result of recalculation pension supplement for children is individual and is not guaranteed for all pensioners, since replacing work experience with a period of child care will not always be beneficial.

   According to statistics, only in 20-30% of cases the size of the paid pension benefit can be increased, and the amount of the increase can range from several rubles to several hundred or, in some cases, may even exceed a thousand rubles.

3. If the recalculation turns out to be “with a minus sign”, then the current pension amount will not decrease(since the deterioration of pension provision is not allowed by current law), and the employees of the Pension Fund will make a decision on refusal.

Who is entitled to an additional payment to the pension for children?

Let us immediately note that The year of birth of children has no determining significance- they can be born before 1990, and at any time after this period.

The misconception that an additional payment is due only for children born before 1990 (1991) arose due to the fact that the new procedure for accounting for pension rights introduced in 2015 gives a significant increase in pensions for adult children to those pensioners who have predominantly “ Soviet" experience, which now has little effect on the size of the pension and which can be taken into account on more favorable terms for the pensioner in the form of pension points. It is recommended that they carry out such recalculation first. As a rule, the overwhelming majority of such mothers retired before January 1, 2015 (and they may already be at a very advanced age - they may be 70, 80 years old, or even older).

However, this is by no means does not mean that in the event of the birth of children after the collapse of the USSR, the woman will automatically lose the right to such a recalculation! Just, as a rule, it may not be beneficial for them for some other reasons (for example, if a woman’s work experience was formed mainly after the beginning of the 1990s according to newer Russian pension laws).

It is necessary to understand that periods of child care in themselves do not imply an automatic increase in the pension, since often the periods of work already taken into account when assigning it make a higher contribution to the amount of the payment than replacing them with 1.5 years of care for each of the children. In practice, there are a large number of special cases in which it may or may not be profitable to make such a recalculation (see table).

In what cases can recalculation be beneficial?

When is recalculation most likely not going to give any increase?

If a woman gave birth to 2 or more children and cared for them until they were 1.5 years old If there were several children in one pregnancy (for example, twins or triplets were born) If during the period of childcare the mother was not employed (for example, she was studying or simply was not in an official labor relationship) If she retired with minimal work experience If the mother’s pension was set based on low earnings (below the national average) If, taking into account all the circumstances presented above, a woman’s pension is paid in an amount close to the subsistence minimum (now this is the minimum pension)

If the pensioner has an only child If she has a long work history, including giving birth to children If the pension was initially calculated from a high salary (however, a salary exceeding the national average by 20% was not taken into account when assigning a pension until 2002 - i.e. the earnings ratio for this period in most cases does not exceed 1.2, but this is usually sufficient so that recalculation of the pension for children based on “non-insurance” points does not give any gain in comparison with the previously assigned option)

Thus, first of all, pensioners with 2 or more children who had low earnings and (or) low work experience can count on receiving a bonus for children as a result of recalculation of pensions.

Attention

Recalculation is contraindicated for pensioners whose pensions were assigned on preferential terms. Recipients of early pensions who have not reached retirement age, as a result of replacing the working period with “non-insurance” 1.5 years of child care, the benefit period is lost, which may lead to loss of the right to early retirement.

How many points are given for each child when recalculating?

Since 2015, the main indicator influencing the size of the pension paid is the number of so-called “pension points”(in fact, according to the law it is called "individual pension coefficient"- IPK), registered in the Pension Fund of Russia on the individual personal account of the pensioner. This parameter reflects not in rubles, as was done before, but in relative units the amount of a citizen’s pension rights to an insurance (labor) pension.

Pension points on a personal account are formed in two main ways:

• paid by the employer mandatory insurance contributions(in 2019 they account for 22% of the employee’s wage fund, of which 6% goes to the formation of a fixed payment, and 16% is taken into account in an individual personal account in the form of pension points);
• by taking into account in points the so-called “non-insurance periods” of carrying out socially significant activities, when the future pensioner does not work and contributions for him are not deducted, but pension rights are formed at the expense of the state(a full list of such periods is listed in Article 12 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 - this is, in particular, the time of military service for men, carried out by one of the parents care for each child up to 1.5 years and etc.)

Attention

If, as a result of the calculations carried out the increase will be negative, then it will not be profitable for the pensioner to make such a replacement, and the Pension Fund employees will refuse to formalize the recalculation (that is, the amount of the pension in any case it will not decrease).

What documents are needed for recalculation?

Only those pensioners (one of the parents who cared for a child under 1.5 years old) who was appointed until 2015. Recipients of old-age or disability insurance pensions can do this. Recalculation is made only at the request of a pensioner, which must be submitted to the branch of the Pension Fund that pays the pension (since it is there that the pensioner’s payment file is stored, on the basis of which the additional payment for born children will be calculated).

Since we are talking about regular application recalculation of pension, a standard application is used for it, the form of which is approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2016 No. 14n (Appendix No. 2 to the Administrative Regulations of the Pension Fund on the provision of public services for establishing pensions).

Along with the completed application, it is mandatory to accept personal storage documents:

• ID card of a pensioner (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation);
• certificate of compulsory pension insurance (SNILS).

Attention

Also, according to paragraph 2 of Art. 23 laws “About insurance pensions” an application for recalculation is accepted subject to the provision by the pensioner documents necessary for its implementation.

First of all, the presence of non-insurance periods is confirmed on the basis of documents already in the pensioner’s payment file, as well as personalized accounting information available to Pension Fund employees. If information about the periods of child care until they reach 1.5 years is missing or is incomplete, then the applicant confirms its availability additional documents:

• birth certificates of all children (if they are missing, you can order a child’s birth certificate from the civil registry office);
• documents confirming that children have reached one and a half years of age - this can be any official document issued to the child by government authorities at a later age (child’s passport, certificate or diploma of education, military ID, etc.).

Attention

If the birth certificate contains a stamp indicating that the child received a passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation after he reaches the age of 14, then Only a birth certificate will be enough with the appropriate mark!

How to apply for a supplement to the pension for children

You can submit an application and the necessary documents for recalculation to your branch of the Pension Fund at any time convenient for the pensioner - application period is not limited. If a positive decision is made (if, as a result of recalculation, the pension amount changes upward), the pension will be assigned taking into account the increase only from the 1st of the next month. Additional payment to pensions for children for pensioners for the previous period (missed since the new law came into force on January 1, 2015) not produced.

You can apply for recalculation in one of four ways:

The entry into force of Federal Law No. 400 in 2015 led to a change in the existing procedure for calculating length of service taken into account when assigning pensions. The wave of rumors that took place in the summer of 2017 was based on the possibility of an increase in pensions for children, especially those born before 1990. This review will examine the need for recalculation, the procedure and features of assigning additional payments in various cases.

In reality, there are two completely different surcharges that apply when:

• unaccounted maternity leave in case of retirement before 2015. By recalculating, you can gain a certain number of points in the pension coefficient, which increases sharply in the case when three or four children were born and raised. A further increase will not be possible, since clause 3, part 1, article 12 of Federal Law No. 400 limited the duration of the non-insurance period taken into account to six years;
• maintenance of dependent children by a pensioner. The appointment is carried out within the framework of federal and regional programs.

How much will the increase be for a pensioner with children?

Not at all if the registration was carried out since 2015, because Pension Fund employees have already taken into account innovations in the legislation. As for pensioners who previously began receiving social benefits, they should not rush to contact the district office of the Pension Fund for recalculation. The game may not only turn out to be not worth the candle, but, in most cases, recalculation for a pensioner who has raised one or two children while going on maternity leave for some time can lead to a reduction in the amount of the benefit.

Since returning to previous conditions is not allowed, it is better to hurry, take your time, and make preliminary calculations of how much money raising children can bring. The fact is that the reduction must be taken into account when recalculating length of service, including preferential length, for a period depending on the length of stay on leave related to caring for infants. Therefore, a pensioner should make a preliminary rough calculation on his own or in the client department of the district office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation before refusing the previously assigned assistance. For Pension Fund employees, the full accrual procedure involves a considerable amount of work and review of the payment file.

Pension Fund employees note that no more than 20-30% of pensioners, who, as a rule, received a small benefit, can expect to receive some kind of increase.

Pensioners are not allowed to apply for recalculation in order to receive additional accrual for children:

• those who stopped working and took early retirement;
• receiving benefits assigned in a fixed amount or for the loss of a breadwinner.

How many points are given for each child when recalculating?

Pension coefficient points are calculated (per year of maternity leave) as follows:

• when caring for the first baby - 1.8, i.e., in a year and a half it will accumulate 2.7;
• for the second - 3.6, which in a year and a half will give 5.5;
• for the third and fourth – 5.4 each.

A basic calculation shows that a pensioner should not count on additional payments for children if there were no more than one or two of them.

Recalculation of women's pensions for children in 2018: table

To calculate what the increase will be, you need to take into account the current cost of one IPC point - 78.58 rubles. Let's try to present in the form of a table what a pensioner who has taken advantage of maternity leave lasting a year and a half can expect.

Number of one and a half year maternity leaves for inclusion in the insurance period	Accrual of IPC points	Amount of supplement for children (in rubles)
		212,17
		636,50
	16,2	1 273
	24,3	1 909,50

Additional payment to women's pensions for children

It makes sense to apply for recalculation when the additional payment brings the pensioner at least some noticeable increase in the amount of social assistance. Cases that are suitable for women to contact the district office of the Pension Fund of Russia to recalculate and give an increase will be cases when:

• the duration of leave to care for two children was one and a half years or more;
• twins or triplets were born;
• three or more children were raised;
• the period of maternity leave occurred during a period of unemployment and lack of salary, which affected the reduction in the size of the pension;
• wages were low or (until 2002) did not exceed the national average by more than 20%;
• The size of the pension benefit is equal to the subsistence minimum.

Mothers of many children

... it makes sense to apply for additional payment, since being on maternity leave provided them with a high IPC. The only exceptions will be cases when a pensioner with many children earned a lot and worked for a long time, which is reflected in the amount of the assigned benefit.

For children born before 1990

… There is no special additional charge. But it makes sense for a pensioner who gave birth and raised two or more children to apply for a recalculation, since in Soviet times salaries were relatively low in relation to Russian ones.

What documents are needed to recalculate mothers' pensions?

For a declarative recalculation, use a standard application, the form of which was approved by Order No. 14n of the Ministry of Labor for 2016, attaching to it:

• passport;
• SNILS;
• and (in the absence of the necessary data at the disposal of Pension Fund employees) documents confirming the birth of children and their reaching the age of one and a half years).

Procedure for applying for a pension supplement for children

Federal Law No. 166 places the development of the procedure for establishing pension provision and supplements to it within the powers of the government. In accordance with this norm, in 2016, an order of the Ministry of Labor No. 14n was developed, which requires the procedure to be completed as follows:

1. A pensioner applying for a bonus submits a corresponding application, accompanied by documents confirming his right to receive such payments.
2. Authorized representatives of the Pension Fund consider the submitted application with the attached documents.
3. Upon review, a decision is made to refuse the increase or provide additional payments.

It is advisable to collect documents in advance, fortunately, there is no deadline for applying, after which you can use one of the available methods of submitting an application:

• by personally contacting the local Pension Fund office;
• through the MFC, of ​​course, if it is available in the locality and maintaining interdepartmental communication with the Pension Fund of Russia;
• on the government services portal;
• by sending a registered letter with notarized copies of documents.

The recalculation will be performed next month.

At the place of residence

The PFR client service strongly recommends taking advantage of the opportunity to make an appointment in advance so as not to waste time and nerves in line. This is done on the Pension Fund website; you don’t even need to register on it.

Through the State Services website

Registration through the website www.gosuslugi.ru is associated with two important features:

1. You need to get a confirmed account in the Unified Identification and Logistics System so that the system can identify and authenticate the applicant.
2. Having submitted the electronic application, within the next five days you will need to provide the district PFR office with documents that are not in the payment file.

Without an account in the ESIA, a pensioner will not be able to submit an application. A delay in transferring documents to the local branch of the Pension Fund will lead to the fact that the application will not be accepted for consideration, so you will have to re-register.

How is the pension increase for children calculated?

A pensioner whose dependents include minor children or full-time students (up to 23 years of age) has the right to make an additional payment in one of two ways:

• through recalculation of IPC points;
• increasing benefits by a fixed percentage.
• The definition of a dependent includes children of a pensioner who:
• are fully supported by him;
• receive help from him as the main source of their own income.

Federal supplements are assigned to each family member who meets the definition of a dependent, including the grandchildren of a pensioner who have lost their parents, as well as his sisters and brothers. The basis for increasing payments is the disability of the pensioner, regardless of the age of his children.

Supplements established by municipal authorities of individual subjects of the federation within the framework of local programs of social support for pensioners are calculated on an individual basis. A pensioner who intends to receive such an increase in payments must, as usual, meet certain requirements. He needs:

• take out age insurance;
• officially prove that employment has been terminated;
• have at least three children.

When calculating an increase for a pensioner, several factors will be taken into account:

• his age and presence/absence of disability. The difference even with one dependent can be quite significant. In the standard case, the amount of the benefit will be set at 3,416 rubles, but if the guardian is over 80 - 5,970, if he has a disability of the 1st group - 11,200;
• presence of a special status (military, former athlete, pensioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, etc.);
• number and age of persons under guardianship;
• living in the Far North and equivalent territories where regional coefficients apply.

For allowances for pensioners with dependent children, there is a division depending on which category the recipient belongs to:

• insurance coverage;
• social benefits;
• military or athletes.

When establishing a supplement, which should provide children with normal living conditions, the decision made does not have retroactive effect. Therefore, additional payments will begin to accrue only from the moment you apply for it, and not from the moment you become eligible to receive help.

Recipient of an insurance pension

The amount that will be added to your old age or disability insurance benefit will be affected by your continued employment. The factor determining the possibility of assigning an additional payment for children to pensioners classified in this category is the absence of other social additional payments.

Recipient of social benefits

Persons who retired early due to disability or having earned the necessary length of service for appointment in the Far North may be given a regional social increase to support disabled members of the family. The amount will be affected by:

• terms of the local program;
• IPC and the income level of a pensioner.

For a dependent student

The premium will be calculated in a fixed amount. A pensioner who is dependent on a full-time student (not older than 23 years old) is entitled to an additional 1,601.70 rubles. If there are two or three such dependents, then the premium will be higher.

For a minor child

A pensioner caring for a minor will receive an increase of 32%, which should be, as noted above, 3,416 rubles. For two wards – 4,270, for a larger number – 5,124.

If the pensioner has reached the age of 80, the amount of allowances for the maintenance of dependents will increase:

• for one – 5,970;
• for two – 6,832;
• for three or more – 7,680.

The granting of an increase to a pensioner-guardian will also be affected by the presence of a disability. Depending on the disability group, the additional payment is as follows (in rubles per dependent):

• III – 4,000;
• II – 6,440;
• I – 7 200.

How can a military retiree be helped?

tBased on Federal Law No. 4468-I, a military pensioner who has to support dependents may receive a percentage increase to the previously assigned pension. For one child it will be 32%, for two – it is set twice as high, and for three or more children – 100%.

Working pensioner

A pensioner who continues to work and is in the care of minor children or students receiving full-time education, or other dependents, receives a pension supplement in the same way as a former military man.

Adoption of a new law “On insurance pensions in the Russian Federation” No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 made many adjustments to the law enforcement practice of assigning and paying pensions. An important innovation since the entry into force of this law was the calculation of pension payments from January 1, 2015 in relative units - points. It is especially noteworthy that according to the new calculation rules for periods of child care now additional, previously not provided for pension coefficients are accrued.

In this regard, rumors have begun to actively spread among the Russian population in recent months that thanks to the new law for women whose pension was assigned before January 1, 2015, it is possible to carry out the so-called (incorrectly) “recalculation of pensions for children born before 1990” by taking into account periods of child care for children under the new rules - in pension points.

It is worth noting that in reality year of birth of children before or after 1990 has no effect for the possibility of recalculation. The possibility and amount of the bonus depends on completely different parameters related directly to the seniority and salary of the pensioner himself!

Thus, in reality, for Pension Fund employees there is no such thing, How "children born in the USSR"- neither before 1990, nor before 1991. Recalculation for replacing periods of work with non-insured periods of care can be done for any children regardless of their year of birth. In the practice of the Pension Fund of Russia, there really is such a milestone as 1991, but it only applies to pension valorization- this is an additional increase for “Soviet experience”, and it has nothing to do with children born before this period.

It should also be noted:

1. This procedure does not apply to absolutely all women who have children and receive a labor (insurance) pension. And there is certainly no need to talk about any fixed additional payment (often they talk about some kind of non-existent increase of 300 rubles for each child) - in fact, everything is very individual, and for most people the amount of the “increase” received in the case of applying the new rules is completely may turn out to be negative!
2. For questions regarding recalculation, please contact only to employees of your Pension Fund branch with the application and necessary documents. Only they, based on the materials of the payment case, can make correct preliminary calculations and determine whether it will be beneficial in each specific case or not!

Moreover, the deadline for submitting an application for recalculation not limited in any way, so there is no need to create a big stir around this issue. However, it must be remembered that date of application will influence on which month the pension amount will increase in case of a positive result (if you apply earlier, they will assign it earlier).

Therefore, in order not to create unnecessary queues and additional difficulties in the work of the Pension Fund, it is important to determine in advance in which cases a pensioner can most likely count on an increase, and when doing this makes no sense or is generally contraindicated!

What is this anyway and why are people talking about it only now?

Pension coefficients under the new law are calculated both for periods of working activity and for non-insurance periods, to which, according to clause 3, part 1, art. 12 Federal Law No. 400 includes periods of childcare for children up to one and a half years old, but not more than 6 years for all in total. Thus, in total, according to the new rules, periods of 1.5 years of care can be counted as length of service. no more than four children.

Currently Holiday to care for the child provided until they reach the age of 3 years. However, the insurance period for each child includes a period of no more than 1.5 years. Also, only up to the age of one and a half years is now paid.

What documents are needed to recalculate assigned pension payments?

For all questions regarding the recalculation of pensions assigned before January 1, 2015, for children born, you must contact specialists of the Pension Fund, who will open the payment case, check the presence of the necessary documents in it and calculate the amount of possible additional payment, as well as advise what additional documents will be required .

To recalculate a previously assigned pension payment, you must submit:

• an application in the established form (filled out directly at the Pension Fund branch or in electronic form on the government services website);
• identification document of the pensioner or her legal representative;
• insurance certificate number (SNILS);
• birth certificates of children, and in their absence - a certificate from the civil registry office about birth;
• documents confirming the care of a child up to 1.5 years old - to choose from:
  • educational certificate;
  • child's passport.

If there is a mark on the child’s birth certificate indicating that he was issued a passport, it will be enough to present only this document, since such a stamp in itself already confirms the fact that the child was cared for up to 1.5 years of age.

It should be remembered that the obligation to submit the listed documents rests with the applicant. In addition, all necessary documents must be submitted in original or in the form copies certified by a notary.

How can I contact the Pension Fund for recalculation?

Recalculation of women's pensions according to the new rules for children born before or after 1990 is carried out only by application. For recalculation, pensioners need to contact the Pension Fund, namely its territorial body where the pension file is located.

At the same time, there is several ways to contact:

• directly to the PFR client service in person or through your legal representative (if he has a notarized power of attorney);
• at the MFC at your place of residence (if the service for accepting applications for pension recalculation is provided there);
• through the post office, sending documents by registered mail;
• through a single portal of public services, by filling out an electronic application or making an appointment with the relevant department, having previously selected the name of your locality in the upper right corner of the site.

You need to know that when choosing an electronic application, the applicant will still have to deliver the documents necessary for recalculation personally to the Pension Fund within five working days. If documents are sent by mail, the originals are not sent - these must be notarized photocopies.

If the PFR specialists make a positive decision, you will be able to receive the additional payment due only from the first day of the month following the submission of the application. Such a rule according to paragraphs. 2 p. 1 art. 23 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 is valid for all pension recipients who apply for recalculation, entailing an increase in the payment amount.

I heard that according to the new law, women are entitled to a pension supplement for children born before 1991. I have two children, born in 1980 and 1985, I became a pensioner in 2014. Am I entitled to an increase and in what amount? And does the region of residence matter for receiving the bonus?

Indeed, it is possible to recalculate, according to the new rules, pension payments assigned before 2015 under the previously valid legislation. This can be done only after contacting the Pension Fund with an application - and then only if the new calculation option will be beneficial for you.

The new rules are being introduced in accordance with Federal Law No. 400 of December 28, 2013 - that is, they apply to all citizens of the Russian Federation, and the place of residence in this case does not matter. There are also no additional regional supplements for including non-insurance periods in the length of service.

Without familiarizing yourself with the documents of the payment case, it is impossible to say for sure whether it will be possible to receive an additional payment, or whether such a recalculation will reduce the amount of the payment. It is also impossible to stipulate in advance the amount of such an increase! However, in any case, the amount of your initially established pension will not be revised downward.

You can find an example of recalculation and a detailed description of the existing methods for completing it in the article Additional payment to the pension for children.
