Pension increase for pensioners for 3 children. The procedure for issuing additional payments to pensions for children. Who is not recalculated

The current legislation provides supplement to pension for children born before 1990. It is calculated by taking into account non-insurance periods in the form of pension coefficients. Let's take a closer look at the article and how you can get it.

General information

It should be said that information about pension supplements for women for children spawned many myths. However, all of them were dispelled after the publication of the explanations of the FIU. To understand the features of the application of innovations, we turn to the law.

About the addition to the pension for children stated in Federal Law No. 400. According to its provisions, pensioners who have so-called non-insurance periods can count on a surcharge. These include, in particular, the time during which children up to 1.5 years of age were cared for.

Born before 1990, is calculated by converting these periods into Annually, the value of these points is indexed. For 2017, one coefficient is equal to 78.58 rubles.

Prior to 2015, these non-insurance periods were not taken into account. Accordingly, they did not affect the amount of pension provision established for a woman.

Nuances

Since an addition to the pension for children is accrued according to the new rules, it is necessary to assess all possible risks. The fact is that the insurance period of the pensioner will be reduced for the non-insurance periods translated into coefficients. Accordingly, this may adversely affect the already existing pension provision.

It is worth saying, however, that in certain situations, in order to obtain supplements to the pension for children for women you will have to completely abandon the already installed software. This may result in a significant change in the accrual procedure. It is important to understand that when refusing supplements for children's pension it is not possible to return to the previously established order of calculation.

As mentioned above, the amount of the surcharge can vary significantly. To determine the amount of the allowance, PFR employees will have to raise the pension file and carry out rather laborious work on the calculation. There are no guarantees that everything who is entitled to an addition to the pension for children, will receive a larger amount than before. According to statistics, about 20-30% of applicants receive a surcharge.

The moment of retirement

It is the determining criterion for the appointment supplements for children's pension. It is advisable to apply to the FIU only for those women who went on a well-deserved rest before January 2015. After this date, the FIU employees have already calculated both options for each pensioner (taking into account non-insurance periods and without it) and established the most profitable method of security. Accordingly, it makes no sense for these persons to write an application for child pension supplement.

Predetermining Factors

Apply for addition to the child's pension women can if:

  • During the non-insurance periods, they were not employed at all. That is, in fact, there was a break in professional activity. This is possible, for example, if the birth of a child occurred during the period of study at an institute, technical school, etc.
  • At the time of birth and caring for a minor, the woman worked, but replacing the leave with pension coefficients will be more beneficial for her.

The latter is common in practice in situations where:

  • A woman has two or more children. The more children, the higher the score. Accordingly, the addition to the pension for two children can compensate for the reduction in the insurance period. It should be noted that the law sets limits. A maximum of four children can receive the supplement.
  • When a woman was assigned a pension, the earnings paid before 2002 (if there was a leave of absence during this period) did not exceed its average size in the country or exceeded, but not more than by 20%. Simply put, a woman at her place of employment had a small salary at the time of the birth of the child.

Usually, in connection with the indicated circumstances, before January 1, 2015, pension provision was assigned in an insignificant amount. As a rule, payments did not exceed the value of the PM (living wage). In most regions, such pensioners, as of 2017, receive no more than 10-11 thousand rubles.

If these circumstances took place, and the pensioner has two or three children, then, of course, it can be beneficial. If, even taking into account these factors, the recalculation turns out to be a smaller amount than the amount of the existing security, then the PFR employees will decide to refuse. Accordingly, there will be no reduction in payments.

Restrictions

The legislation defines a list of citizens who cannot count on a surcharge. It includes recipients:

  • Early retirement. These include persons who have not reached the retirement age at the time of entering a well-deserved rest and who are not working. In such a situation, when the length of service is replaced by individual coefficients, they will lose the right to early retirement due to the fact that the length of service will be reduced. Such persons include, for example, teachers, health workers, etc.
  • State pensions, the amount of which is fixed. Such entities, among others, include citizens who lived in the territories affected by the Chernobyl disaster.
  • Insurance pension in connection with the loss of a breadwinner. We are talking, in particular, about cases where the insured citizen died or disappeared without a trace, and the pensioner is a disabled relative who was dependent on him. At the same time, the fact of caring for the children of the deceased is in no way reflected in the pension points, on the basis of which the amount of payments was calculated.

How much is the supplement to the pension for children?

As Article 12 of the Federal Law No. 400 establishes, the insurance period from 01/01/2015, together with working periods, includes the time of care by any of the parents for each child up to 1.5 years. However, you can count no more than 6 years. At the same time, in accordance with paragraph 12 of paragraph 15 of article of the same regulatory act, pension coefficients are accrued for these non-insurance periods. Their number is shown in the table below.

birth order

Number of points

For one full year

For 1.5 years of parental leave

Third fourth

Consider an example. Let's say a pensioner has 2 children. During their care in 2017, a total of 8.1 points were awarded (5.4 + 2.7). One point equals 78.58 rubles. Using these values, you can find out what supplement to the pension for children get a face:

8.1 x 78.58 = 636.5 rubles per month.

Meanwhile, in practice, the value during recalculation turns out to be much less. This is due to the fact that if a pensioner was employed during the indicated periods, then upon replacement, the amount of available security will be reduced in proportion to the amount of earnings received during this period. Thus, the amount of additional payment for the first, for example, child may turn out to be completely negative, since a smaller number of points is provided. It is economically unprofitable in this case to change the method of provision. This is especially true for those who received a good salary in the relevant periods.

Supplement to pension for children: documents

To receive the allowance, you must apply to the FIU with an application. Its form is unified and approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 14 of 2016. The application must be accompanied by:

  • A copy of the applicant's passport, SNILS.
  • Certificate of birth of children (if they are not in the pension file).
  • Documents certifying the achievement of each child of the age of 1.5 years. If there is a passport stamp on the birth certificate, then this document is sufficient. If there is no stamp, you can present another document that was issued to the child. This can be, for example, a certificate, a notarized copy of his passport, marriage certificate, etc.

If the applicant cannot provide a birth certificate, you can contact the registry office to obtain a certificate confirming the fact of birth.

Timing

The legislation does not provide for restrictions on the time for filing an application and the documents that need to be attached to it. Accordingly, the pensioner has the right to apply to the FIU at any convenient time.

Consideration of documents is carried out within 5 days from the date of their receipt. If some papers are missing, and the applicant is unable to obtain them on his own, the FIU requests them as part of interagency cooperation.

If the application is satisfied, the recalculation is carried out from the 1st day of the next month. Surcharge for past periods missed from the date of entry into force of the new law is not carried out.

Submission Options

How to get a pension supplement for children? The applicant can send a package of documents in any of the following ways:

  1. Personally contacting the territorial division of the FIU. Experts recommend pre-booking an appointment. You can do this on the FIU website. There is no need to register on the portal to register. Pre-registration will eliminate the need to sit in line.
  2. By contacting the MFC. Currently, multifunctional centers operate in almost all cities. To accept documents at the MFC, interaction with the FIU should be established. Despite the large number of people applying to multifunctional centers, work is carried out quickly.
  3. Through the Internet. Today, the portal of public services is actively working. The application is sent electronically. However, in this case, you must have a verified account on the portal. In addition, only an application can be submitted on the website, the rest of the documents must be personally submitted to the FIU. This takes 5 days. If the documents are not received within this period, the electronic application will not be considered, and it will have to be submitted again.
  4. By registered mail. In this case, the person fills out the application on his own, attaches copies of the documents to it and goes to the post office. You should draw up an inventory of the attachment and fill out a notice of delivery. Copies of documents must first be certified by a notary.

Fixed payouts

Additional payments are due if dependent pensioner:

  • minor child;
  • adult child in full-time education.

The latter has certain limitations. A pensioner can receive an additional payment if the child has not reached the age of 23.

Also provided pension supplement for disabled children. The age of the latter does not matter.

Certain categories of citizens who have worked in the police department, fire service, penitentiary system, if they have minors under their care, accrual is carried out in the manner established in Federal Law No. 4468-1.

Surcharge amount

Several factors affect the amount of the allowance:

  • The number of minors who are dependents of the pensioner. Addition to pension for three children significantly higher than for one.
  • Applicant's age.
  • Presence/absence of a disability.
  • Region of residence.

For 2017, the following amounts of fixed additional payments are established for pensioners under the age of 80 who do not have disabilities:

  • One child - 3416 rubles.
  • Two - 4270.
  • Three - 5124.

Persons aged 80 and over can count on the following amounts:

  • for 1 child - 5970 rubles;
  • for two - 6832;
  • for three - 7680.

In the presence of a disability for persons over 80 years of age, the following payments are established depending on the group:

  • For 1 child - 4000-11200 rubles.
  • For two - 6440-12800.
  • For three - 7200-14400.

For residents of the Far North and territories equivalent to it, the amounts are increased by the amount of payments varies from 6,000 to 168,000 rubles.

An increase in the amount of support is also provided for children studying at the university. In addition, the pensioner receives 1500 rubles.

Design rules

You can exercise your right to receive an additional payment by contacting the territorial division of the PFR with an application and a package of documents. The term for their consideration is 10 days (working) from the date of submission.

You can also submit an application through the public services portal. To do this, you need to register and verify your account. You can submit an application in the "Assignment of a pension" section. There is a special form here. You need to fill in the required fields and submit the application. It should be said that in this case, consideration and verification of documents will be carried out within 30 days.

Required papers

An application is submitted to the territorial division of the FIU. Its form can be obtained at the branch of the Pension Fund. The statement states:

  • The name of the body to which it is sent.
  • Information about the applicant (full name, address of residence).
  • Dependent data. The full name of each person, date of birth, place of residence are indicated.

Attached to the application:

  • Birth certificates of dependents.
  • A document confirming the conduct of labor activity (if it is carried out).
  • A certificate confirming that the spouse has not previously applied to the FIU for an additional payment.
  • Certificate from the FMS on f. No. 9.
  • A document from the place of study if the dependent is studying and has not reached the age of 23.
  • Certificate of the disabled (for children with disabilities).

Help for mothers with many children

Women who have received the status have the opportunity to retire early. The legislation establishes the following conditions for the exercise of this right:

  • Achievement of 50 years.
  • Having 5 or more children.
  • The length of service is at least 15 years.

At the federal level, additional payments to those already established for mothers of large families are not provided. According to the current legislation, regional bodies have the right to assign supplements to pensions. Financing is carried out, respectively, at the expense of the budget of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation. For example, the legislation of Moscow provides for payments to mothers with many children in the amount of 4,000 to 9,000 rubles. In St. Petersburg, there is also a surcharge. It is about 3000 r.

for large families

As mentioned above, the supplement to the pension can be made for no more than 4 children. If the family has many children, then in order to receive early registration, a woman needs to work 9 years before the formation of a 15-year minimum length of service. The six missing years are non-insurance periods, which are converted into points.

A mother with many children can receive a fixed allowance for each (up to fifth) minor child. If there are full-time adult children who are dependents, the additional payment is also made on them.

conclusions

As can be seen from the above information, the state is trying to support citizens who have retired and have children.

Of course, the rejection of non-insurance periods significantly worsened the situation of individual citizens. In particular, this applies to persons who have four or more children. The legislation that was in force until 2015 provided for a minimum of guarantees. In many cases, the pension accrued according to the previously established rules did not reach the subsistence minimum.

Over time, the economic situation began to change. The state has the opportunity to provide citizens with additional security.

At the same time, pensioners should be very careful when deciding on the method of receiving payments. It has already been said above that the replacement of non-insurance periods can negatively affect pension rights.

Federal Surcharge

It is another way to provide financial assistance to pensioners. The federal surcharge began to be accrued in 2010 after the introduction of Federal Law No. 213. The provisions of this regulatory act made adjustments to Federal Law No. 178.

Federal surcharge - the amount assigned to persons who have completed their employment and receive a pension in an amount not exceeding the subsistence level.

When determining the right to receive such an additional payment, the pensioner's income is taken into account. It includes all types of pensions, including those established at the regional level. Benefits provided in kind are not taken into account when assessing income, with the exception of the cash equivalent of payments for telephone, utilities, travel.

Terms of receipt

The federal co-payment is provided:

  • Citizens of the Russian Federation permanently residing in Russia. A person living abroad cannot receive the copay.
  • Citizens who do not work. For example, pensioners caring for a disabled person can receive a supplement.
  • Citizens whose security amount does not reach the subsistence level with all the stipulated allowances.

The type of pension received when assigning a federal supplement does not matter. A citizen can receive a pension for old age, for length of service, in connection with disability, pensions through power structures, in connection with the loss of a breadwinner.

The size of the supplement is affected by the cost of living. It should be noted that it varies from region to region. The subsistence level reaches its maximum size in the Far North. This is quite understandable. These areas have harsh climatic conditions, so more resources are needed to ensure life.

The living wage, in turn, depends on the consumer basket. It includes only the necessary goods and services. The composition of the basket is reviewed every five years. Taking into account the economic changes that have taken place in the country, new goods or services (works) can be added to it.

The size of the subsistence minimum is also affected by the belonging of a citizen in need of additional material support to one or another group. According to socio-demographic characteristics, three categories are distinguished:

  • Children.
  • Pensioners.
  • Able-bodied.

At the same time, it should be taken into account that when determining the subsistence minimum for calculating the additional payment for pensioners, the age of citizens is not taken into account. For example, a minor who receives a survivor's pension would be considered a pensioner.

Legislation changes regularly. The Pension Law is no exception. In the summer of 2017, the PFR received a lot of requests from citizens regarding the appointment of additional payments for children born before 1990 and during the existence of the USSR. The news that a surcharge is provided for the upbringing of children excited the population.

Amendments to the Federal Law-400 "On Insurance Pensions" really allowed some recipients of social benefits to increase the content, but many elderly people were refused. What payments to pensioners for adult children in 2019 does the law provide?

Appointment of a pension

Federal Law No. 400 prescribes the conditions for assigning pension payments to Russians. Article 8 says that the right to the insurance part arises from:

  • men 60 years old;
  • women aged 55.

The main indicators for determining the amount of benefits:

  • assessment of documents confirming work experience,
  • set of deductions from wages.

The introduction of the point system (PPI) by the pension reform united both parameters.

The individual coefficient is formed based on:

  • insurance experience;
  • salary level.

Each full calendar year of recorded experience adds coefficients (IPC) to the employee.

Until 2015, FZ-173 was in effect. Article 10 of this law said that the insurance period is formed from the stages of labor activity, during which the PFR received deductions made by employers, the insured person.

From the beginning of 2015 (January 1), Article 12 of the Federal Law No. 400 introduced a new rule, according to which the insurance period was replenished with other periods listed by the provisions of the article.

Clause 1.3 designated the time of caring for children up to one and a half years as periods counted as “insurance” periods subject to accrual of the IPC.

Until that moment, such periods were included in the length of service, but did not affect the amount of benefits, they were recognized as “non-insurance”.

Calculating the total number of coefficients is a complex process.

The result depends on:

  • time of labor activity;
  • the type of state security assigned;
  • the time of applying for a grant.

The number of IPCs earned while working reflects:

  • the amount of wages;
  • the total result of contributions paid;
  • duration of the labor stage.

The algorithm for assigning an IPC to citizens who completed their labor activity before January 1, 2015 is given in Article 34 of the Federal Law No. 400.

FIU staff:

  • raise a personalized payment case;
  • divide the amount of the assigned allowance by the cost of the coefficient (64.10 rubles).

Social pensions and IPC are indexed annually.

The indexation of the insurance part of the state benefit in 2019 will be 3.7% (for non-working pensioners), the price of a point will increase to 81.49 rubles.

Children's pension supplement

The new system, which made it possible to calculate the IPC for one and a half year maternity periods, has been applied when assigning benefits since 2015. For those who become a recipient of state security from January 1, 2015, the most advantageous option is selected by default.

For Russians who finished work earlier than this period, the law proposed to recalculate the content - to replace the "care periods" with coefficients.

Worth noting:

  1. Maternity leave is less than a year - the final coefficient is calculated after the fact: a full month = 1/12 of the coefficient, 1 day = 1/360 of the coefficient (Article 15, Clause 14 of the Federal Law-400).
  2. The periods of care are combined, superimposed on one another - the IPC for each child is calculated separately, the result is summarized (Article 15, paragraph 13).

When asked what payments are due to pensioners for adult children born before 1990, the answer will be the following: identical to those due for a son, daughter, who were born earlier or later than this period.

The only difference is that earlier maternity leave (1.5 years) was not considered “insurance” and was not calculated as a point equivalent. With the introduction of amendments, the situation became possible to change. The new option is most beneficial for those who are now 60 years old and above.

The same rules apply to payments to pensioners for children born before 1980.

Thus, the replacement of the “maternity” period with interest is not a one-time subsidy, but an additional monthly allowance with favorable calculations.

We are not talking about special privileges, payments to pensioners who have children born before 1990, born in the "Soviet" period.

How profitable is it for an elderly person to apply for a recalculation

Replacing seniority with coefficients does not always favorably affect the amount of benefits, sometimes it is more useful to leave everything as it is.

The maintenance already paid is calculated on the basis of seniority. When transferring years of care to the IPC, the replaced periods are removed from the length of service, which means that the amount of the benefit will decrease in proportion to the amount of money earned during this period of time. Recalculation can lead to a negative result.

For example, payments to pensioners for two children born before 1990 can amount to 660.07 rubles at a price of 1 IPC equal to 81.49 rubles (2019). However, the mother worked during the decree, had a good income. A reduction in seniority and the deduction of earned savings will lead to a loss more likely than to the possibility of receiving an increase. Therefore, the FIU will refuse to recalculate.

Statistics show that the majority of women who applied for a settlement taking into account innovations receive an increase of 100-700 rubles or do not receive benefits at all.

The pension legislation supports large families. A woman who has given birth to 5 or more children will be able to retire earlier than the generally established period. If the minimum length of service has been worked out, she has the right to apply for an allowance upon reaching 50 years.

The largest number of payments to pensioners for children born before 1991 falls on mothers of large families. For them, the maximum compensation is provided, an increased number of point indices according to the table. Therefore, for women who have raised 3 or more adult children, it is more expedient to replace the care periods with the IPC so as not to lose several years of insurance experience.

For example, a retired mother did not work for 6 years, cared for 4 children. These years were not included in the insurance period, they did not affect the amount of benefits. If a woman decides to replace time with points (IPK), she will receive an increase in her pension of 1980.20 rubles based on the cost of the IPK 81.49 rubles. (2019)

The "Soviet" experience earned during the years of the existence of the USSR has little effect on the total result of the allowance. The ball equivalent may be more profitable.

For payment to pensioners for children born before 1991, it is worth applying if the mother (father):

  • did not work before the birth of the child and during the decree;
  • when replacing the one and a half year period with a coefficient multiplier, it will benefit;
  • raised two or more children (6 years - the maximum period);
  • received a small income;
  • unable to provide proof of income.

Most people who went on a well-deserved rest before January 1, 2015 were assigned a small allowance, at the subsistence level. If a retired mother has raised several children and receives a small subsidy from the state, it makes sense to determine the amount of maintenance in a new way.

The allowance is not recalculated if a person is assigned state security:

  • due to the loss of a breadwinner;
  • fixed size;
  • ahead of schedule (up to 55-60 years).
  1. The establishment of a cash subsidy for the loss of a breadwinner to an elderly person means that he was previously dependent on another family member who died or went missing. Therefore, if a pensioner gave birth, adopted, raised children, the circumstances of caring for them will not be able to adjust the final payments.
  2. The state pension, fixed in one exact amount, is assigned to certain categories of citizens. This type of social subsidy is established as compensation for harm and is expressed as a percentage of the social pension, so the increase in content due to the accrual of additional point components is not provided.
  3. Early payment is intended for privileged categories of citizens who have the right to apply for a pension before reaching the generally established age threshold (for example, teachers, doctors, residents of the Far North). If the beneficiary becomes a non-working pensioner, then the recalculation will lead to the loss of early payments, since accounting for maternity leave involves the withdrawal of the years replaced by points from the length of service. If this is possible, the FIU refuses applicants.

The largest amount of benefits under different conditions is a priority when assigning state support to the elderly. Each case is considered individually.

Registration procedure

The Pension Fund is in charge of assigning and reviewing state benefits. A citizen has the right to seek clarification about what benefits are due to existing pensioners for children born before 1990, to get advice on the advisability of applying the point system to maternity leave, replacing years of service with coefficients.

The recalculation is made at the request of the recipient of state support by employees of the territorial branch of the PFR in accordance with clause 2 of Article 18 of Federal Law No. 400 (due to an increase in the number of IPCs).

Employees:

  • help you fill out the application correctly;
  • indicate what information is needed to start the calculations;
  • You will be asked to submit missing documents.

Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 14N approved the application form used by the territorial offices of the Pension Fund.

Any time is acceptable to apply. The law did not set specific deadlines. It should be understood that lost profits in case of late treatment are not reimbursed.

The MFC accepts such applications, the electronic format is supported by the State Services web portal.

The application is considered 5 days (working). The new amount of the allowance will begin to be paid from the next month after the date of application.

An elderly person should not be afraid that during the recalculation he will lose part of the funds. The current legislation does not allow deterioration of the security.

If the replacement with points of the “non-insurance” period causes a loss, the PFR employees will leave the amount of the benefit unchanged and make a refusal decision.

Documentation

According to paragraph 7 of Article 21 of the Federal Law-400, the PFR requests documents confirming the grounds for recalculation in the manner of interagency cooperation, explains to the applicant (Article 23, paragraph 3) what supporting documentation he has the right to submit on his own initiative.

The bases will be:

  1. Evidence of the fact of the birth of sons, daughters.
  2. Documents confirming the validity of caring for a child until he is 1.5 years old:
  • certificate of issuance of a passport to a son or daughter;
  • school certificate;
  • a copy of the child's passport;
  • certificate from the registry office;
  • other official evidence.

To make payments to pensioners for children born before 1990, the applicant:

  • presents a passport;
  • indicates the reason for the appeal;
  • fills in the application form;
  • represents information.

The “non-insurance” period is counted to one of the parents, so the retired applicant reports to the FIU information about the second parent.

When the necessary information to resolve the issue of increasing the ratio is present in the FIU system, no documentation is required.

Sometimes older people confuse an increase in pension due to recalculation and a fixed supplement for dependents:

  • minors;
  • over 18 years of age receiving full-time education (up to 23 years);
  • older than 23 if they became disabled before the age of 18.

These concepts are not identical.

Article 17 of the Federal Law-400 establishes 1/3 of the fixed share of the pension as an additional payment to persons who support a disabled family member, in this case a minor. In 2017, the fixed part of the old-age pension was 4,805.11 rubles, taking into account indexation - 4,982.9 rubles (2019). The monthly allowance will be:

  • 1/3 of this amount - 1 dependent;
  • 2/3 - two;
  • 100% - three (no more than 3).

For an eighty-year-old person, the fixed share of the pension is twice as high (Article 17, paragraph 1) - 9965.8 rubles. The fee is also doubled.

Factors affecting the size of the fixed component:

  • eighty years of age of a person;
  • disability group 1;
  • "northern" and "rural" experience.

The allowance is calculated based on the actual fixed share of the individual allowance.

The presence of disabled dependents in an elderly person will allow you to receive additional funds, benefits and discounts under the programs:

  • subsidies;
  • support for low-income families.

State support measures designed for all family members, including the elderly and children:

  • subsidies for the purchase of housing, payment of utility bills;
  • providing a living wage.

Benefits for pensioners for children born before 1990, 1991 or any other are absolutely identical. Years of birth do not matter at all.

After Federal Law No. 400 (Article 12) obliged one and a half year maternity leave to be considered insurance periods, the PFR proposed to review payments to those pensioners who were assigned financial support without taking them into account. Everyone is equal before the law, the equality of citizens' rights is guaranteed by the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

After the "point" pension system began to operate, many pensioners suddenly realized that they have the right to recalculate on more favorable terms. Another discovery was that women also get points for caring for children. How many of these points can be obtained and who will benefit from the recalculation of the pension for children? Answers in this article.

Back in 2015 came into force Federal Law No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013"On insurance pensions". After the start of its action, the length of service, on the basis of which pensions were previously assigned and calculated, was replaced with pension points. Now, in order to receive decent payouts, you need to collect a sufficient number of such points. It would seem, what does this have to do with those people who retired before January 1, 2015? After all, their pension was calculated according to the old rules. As it turned out, the most direct. Such pensioners can receive a supplement to their pension if the amount of payments by points is higher than by seniority. Russian pensioners are especially interested in paying additional pensions for children, because many of them in Soviet times sat with children before school, and received experience only for three years of maternity leave. Let's try to understand this issue.

Who is affected by the recalculation of the pension for children?

All women (and even men) who have children and retired before January 1, 2015 can apply for a pension recalculation. All pensioners who became pensioners after this date received the calculation of payments in their favor already according to the most advantageous option. That is, the Pension Fund themselves chose how to calculate payments: by seniority or by points. What is this benefit? The difference in approaches to calculating pensions.

Beneficial - unprofitable

It turns out that recalculation is not always beneficial for a pensioner with children. Indeed, during its implementation, periods of labor activity can be replaced by non-insurance periods according to the new "point" system. This means that the time of the decree and the subsequent care of the child will not be added to the length of service, but, on the contrary, will replace it with points. That is, for the actual experience, one number of points will be obtained, and for, for example, periods of childcare, another. Pension Fund specialists note that in this case, the pension may even decrease for those citizens who received high wages for work both in Soviet times and after 1991 in Russia. In this case, they usually have payments much higher than average, and it will not be profitable for them to recalculate the pension for the mother of twins, three, or even four children.

In addition, in Soviet times there was a preferential length of service, for example, when working in rural areas. It will also not be profitable for such citizens to apply for a recalculation, moreover, the PFR will most likely refuse it right away, because they will lose a significant number of years of service, the presence of which gave them the right to retire earlier. Therefore, the recalculation will lead to a certain incident in this matter, which the FIU cannot allow in any way. However, each case is individual, and only PFR employees will be able to assess the possible benefit of the pensioner by checking the materials of his case. Therefore, if there is hope for an increase, the application must still be submitted. The pension, in any case, will not decrease - the reduction of already assigned social benefits is prohibited by law.

It will be beneficial to recalculate for the mother of 3 children if she received a small salary. For example, in Soviet times, her earnings were no more than 100 rubles, after 1991 no more than 15 thousand rubles. Such women will receive more during parental leave than for a period of work from one and a half to six years. If there are two children, and the earnings were small, it also makes sense to ask for a recalculation.

However, if the pension is minimal, there is no need to expect supplements for children. After all, such pensioners, with a lack of experience and earnings, have a federal surcharge up to the established subsistence level. Therefore, as a result of the recalculation, only the amount of such an additional payment can be reduced, and the amount of social payments itself will not change.

Formula and points

The amount of pension payments from January 1, 2015 is subject to calculation according to a special formula. This formula includes data on the length of service and wages of the insured person, based on personalized data that the employer submits to the FIU. The more experience and deductions of insurance premiums, the higher the scores. In addition, the insured person is entitled to additional pension points, including for periods of military service or child care. The points themselves are just an abstract unit, but 1 point has its own value, which the FIU approves annually. In 2019, 1 pension point costs 78 rubles 58 kopecks. It is easy to understand that the PFR determines the amount of pension payments by multiplying the number of points that a pensioner has scored by their value.

Number of points for non-insurance periods

As already mentioned above, the so-called non-insurance periods are to be included in the insurance period necessary for the appointment of a pension. In particular, the time of leave to care for young children. Legislators have set the number of points that insured persons can receive for raising children:

  • 1.8 - care for the first child until he reaches the age of one and a half years;
  • 3.6 - care for a second child until he reaches the age of one and a half years;
  • 5.4 - care for the third, fourth and all subsequent children until they reach the age of one and a half years.

For example, consider a situation where a woman has two children:

For the first child, she will receive 1.8 * 78.58 = 141 rubles

For the second child - 3.6 * 78.58 = 283 rubles

Total: 424 rubles

But this does not mean at all that the pensioner will receive an increase in her pension of 424 rubles, because the length of service during this time will be deducted from the calculation. And the cost of a year of experience according to the previous scheme was calculated individually. However, it is obvious that the more children, the greater the increase.

Large and small maternity leave

In modern Russia, parental leave is one and a half years. However, in the USSR it could be three, or it could be less. Therefore, for those pensioners who had a short maternity leave, the general conditions for recalculation will be applied: points will be added for a year and a half, and a year and a half will also be deducted from the insurance period, and not the actual vacation time.

Where to apply and how to apply

Recalculation of payments to a pensioner can be done at the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia only on the basis of his written application. Application form approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated January 19, 2016 N 14n. Some documents must be attached to it:

  1. pensioner's identity document,
  2. birth certificate(s) of the child(ren)
  3. a document that confirms that the child has reached one and a half years (for example, a school leaving certificate).

The last document does not need to be provided if the child's birth certificate has a passport stamp. The FIU only accepts original birth certificates. Therefore, if it is lost, the document must be restored. Otherwise, the recalculation will be denied. You can submit an application directly to the FIU branch or to the nearest MFC.

PFR specialists will recalculate payments in connection with the replacement of work periods from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the application was accepted. However, the new amount will be paid only if it is increased. If the amount after the new calculations turns out to be less, the amount of the social payment will remain the same.

The government decree on a pension supplement for women who gave birth to children before 1990 has already entered into force and it is already possible to apply for a pension recalculation (in August 2017, but later). After the recalculation, there may be different options, the pension may increase insignificantly and may even become smaller, in which case you can refuse the pension "in a new way" and receive it according to the old calculation, as before.

The amount of such additional payments varies, depending on the specific circumstances that need to be notified to the local PF authorities. For example, for a pensioner raising a child who is studying full-time, an increase in his pension is set at a fixed level (this is 1,500 rubles). But, as soon as the student stops studying or reaches the age of 23, such payments stop.

FEDERAL LAW ON PENSION SUPPLEMENT FOR CHILDREN BORN BEFORE 1990: NEW ORDER

Government representatives have developed an appropriate order, thanks to which monthly additional payments to pensions became possible. Women whose children were born before 1990, in other words, during the Soviet era, can count on such an increased pension. True, there is one more additional condition: the woman had to retire no later than 2015. If this condition is not met, then the pension will not increase.

We are talking about women of retirement age who went on a well-deserved rest until 2015. The Russian government decided to recalculate their pension according to children born before 1990. For those who retired later, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation offered the best payment option. Therefore, they will not receive an increase.

The increase depends directly on the number of children born. For each child, a pensioner will receive 1.8 points. One point is now equal to 78 rubles. From this calculation, women will add:

For 1 child - 140.40 rubles. (1.8 points),

For 2 children - 280.80 rubles. (3.6 points),

For 3 and subsequent children - 436.80 rubles. (5.6 points).

The Pension Fund notes that it does not make sense to recalculate the pension if you have one child. Most likely, when recalculating, you will only lose. But if a pensioner has 2 or more children, then there is definitely a point.

Note that if, with such a recalculation, it turns out that the woman’s pension has only become smaller, then you will be left with the one that was. To recalculate, you must contact the local Pension Fund, and already there write a corresponding application.

FEDERAL LAW ON PENSION SUPPLEMENT FOR CHILDREN BORN BEFORE 1990: WHAT DOCUMENTS NEED

You will need the following documents to receive the supplement:

firstly, an application for additional payment, in which you indicate your personal data, place of residence, as well as data about the child.

secondly, the child's birth certificate.

thirdly, a work book or other document on labor activity.

fourthly, a certificate stating that you have not previously applied for such a payment.

fifthly, form number 9, which is issued at the passport office.


If you are making a supplement for a child who is over 18 years old and is studying at an educational institution, then a certificate from this educational institution is required.
If the child is disabled, then a document is also needed.

FEDERAL LAW ON THE SUPPLEMENT TO THE PENSION FOR CHILDREN BORN BEFORE 1990: CONDITIONS OF ACCRUATION

An increase in the amount of the pension is possible if the minor is dependent on the pensioner. Dependency, in accordance with the norms of the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, implies full maintenance and support. The payment of the allowance is allowed to persons who have reached the appropriate age and retired. Who is entitled to a pension supplement for dependents (children and other relatives)

Family members whose dependents provide for the payment of additional funds are classified by law as children, brothers, sisters, grandchildren: until they reach 18 years of age; in the case of their educational activities in secondary and higher educational organizations, until they reach the age of 23 years; with the status of a disabled person and after reaching the age of majority. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that the legislative act emphasizes the absence of the need to prove the dependence of minors.

The issue of additional payments to pensions for children has gained great popularity only now, although technically the possibility of such a recalculation has been around for a long time and has arisen since the entry into force of the new law "About insurance pensions" No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 - that is, from January 1, 2015. However, earlier the possibility of recalculating an already assigned pension to receive a supplement for children caused great controversy. Now, several years later, the legitimacy of applying to the FIU on this issue has already become recognized and is not in doubt.

According to the new pension legislation, now when assigning a pension, it is provided better accounting for the period of child care, which is expressed in:

It is noteworthy that more favorable rules can be applied to similar periods, that took place before 01/01/2015. Therefore, those pensioners who have reached it a long time ago can also apply for an additional payment to the pension - i.e. women who, among other things, already have adult children born before 1990 (during the Soviet era).

The choice of the best option for accounting for non-contributory periods of childcare (and, consequently, the possibility of recalculation) consists in choosing the procedure for calculating the amount of the insurance pension:

  • valid until 2015 (according to the norms of Law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001);
  • currently in force, starting from January 1, 2015 (according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013).

Upon detailed consideration and comparison of all options for calculating a pension in practice, it often turns out that the new procedure for accounting for pension rights is more beneficial for a pensioner and can provide a significant monthly increase (see). Therefore, it is worth using this opportunity and contacting the Pension Fund with the appropriate one. Although the supplement to the pension for children not guaranteed for all pensioners(each case is individual), you can say for sure for whom it may be most likely.

What is the supplement to the pension for children and who is entitled to it?

The meaning of the allowance for children consists in offsetting the so-called "non-insurance periods" (clause 1, article 12 of law No. 400-FZ) in the length of service and accruing additional pension points, the amount of which (the so-called individual pension coefficient) directly determines the amount of the pension. In this case, this will be the period of departure of one of the parents for each child until they reach the age of one and a half years(the maximum total can only be taken into account 6 year care period for all children, so if we talk strictly about the period of care for each up to 1.5 years, then only four children can be counted in points).

The essence of the proposed recalculation for children is as follows:

  • for women who were in an employment relationship at the time of birth and caring for a child, this is the possibility of offsetting this period in one of two ways: either as a period of work, or, according to the new rules, as a non-insurance period, if such a replacement would be beneficial to her;
  • for women who at that time had a break in work or combined the time of the birth of a child with study, this is an opportunity to increase their pension by including a new unaccounted for non-insurance period in the length of service and adding the number of points that directly affect the amount of the pension paid (taking into account the new one).

It should immediately be noted that not all pension recipients benefit apply for a refund! There are such categories of pensioners for whom there will be no additional payment during its implementation, and possibly even at all - the amount received will go into the red.

It is important that in the event that a smaller pension is received upon recalculation than it was before, the initial amount of payments will not be reduced, and in response to the application for recalculation, the PFR specialists will make a decision to refuse.

Given all of the above, first of all, it is worth paying attention to those mothers who recalculation is likely to be beneficial:

  • women with at least two children;
  • who received low wages and, accordingly, have a small coefficient applied to the calculation of the payment;
  • who had a short work experience.

Which of the pensioners will not receive a surcharge upon recalculation?

The amount of additional payment for recalculation, as well as the very possibility of its implementation, are strictly individual. However, it is safe to say who should not count on such an increase. These categories of pensioners include the following persons:

  • retired after January 1, 2015(for them, all possible options have already been calculated, taking into account non-insurance periods for children, and the most profitable method was automatically selected);
  • recipients, paid in a fixed amount(established, including for living in the area of ​​the catastrophe at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant);
  • retired previously established retirement age if there is a preferential job that gives such a right (since as a result of replacing the insurance period with points for non-insurance periods, they may lose the right to due to the exclusion of this time from the special experience - this especially applies to child care periods before 10/06/1992);
  • having only one child;
  • pension recipients.

Other citizens may benefit from applying for recalculation.

In each individual case, the calculation of the pension, as well as the calculation of the amount of the additional payment, will be purely individual, and there is no need to talk about any fixed amount of the increase. For some, this will be an additional payment of 300 rubles or even more, while for others, the supplement will be equal to one ruble or zero.

How many points are added to the pension for children in 2019?

According to paragraph 12 of Art. 15 FZ No. 400 "About insurance pension" The number of points awarded for periods of child care depends on the following parameters:

  • order of birth of the child;
  • amount of care time.

Data on the value of points taken into account when recalculating the copay for children is presented in the following table.

Recalculation of pensions for women for children in 2019 - table

It is worth considering some nuances when:

  • the care period is less than a year - then the calculation of the coefficient is established based on its actual duration (clause 14, article 15 No. 400-FZ);
  • there are several such periods coinciding in time - then the sum of the coefficients for each child is determined (clause 13, article 15 of law No. 400-FZ).

Consider the example of recalculating a pension for a woman with 2 adult children, taking into account non-insurance periods for the care of each of them.

Example - Recalculation of pensions for pensioners with 2 or more children in 2019

Anna Ivanovna has been a pensioner since April 2014. In order to compare different options for calculating a pension (accordingly, according to the old rules or according to the new ones), we determine the number of points earned by a woman for each of them. Thus, we will determine the profitability of a possible recalculation and the chance of receiving an increase for children.

Necessary initial data for recalculation:

The total work experience of a woman is 18 years, of which 15 years were worked in the period from 1978 to 1997 and 3 years - from 2005 to 2008, during which the employer transferred 135 thousand rubles to her personal account for financing of the insurance part of the pension (the funded part was not formed). The length of service until January 1, 1991 is 11 years. Anna Ivanovna has two children born before 1990 (in 1979 and 1985). On leave to care for a child, a woman was 1.5 years with each. The calculated wage coefficient is 0.8.

    The first option - as it was determined when assigning a pension. When retiring before January 1, 2015, non-insurance periods counted as work experience according to the norms of the law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001, because at that moment the pensioner was in an employment relationship.

    • The estimated pension until 2002 (Article 30 of the Federal Law No. 173) amounted to 256.72 rubles. is ((0.55 × 0.8 × 1671 – 450) × 18 /20).
    • The estimated amount of valorization (Article 30.1 of the Federal Law No. 173) is 53.91 rubles. is (256.72 × (0.1 + 0.01 × 11 )).
    • The increase from insurance premiums received after 2001 is 592.11 rubles. - this is 135,000 rubles. / 228 months
    • The total labor pension (excluding the base part and indexation) assigned to the pensioner was 2336.24 rubles. is ((256.72 + 53.91) × 5.6148 + 592.11).

      In terms of pension coefficients, this amount will be 36.45 points- this is (2336.24 rubles / 64.10 rubles for 1 point).

  1. The second option is how it will be calculated when recalculating the pension for children. When recalculating according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, it is necessary to convert the amount received into pension points (including for non-insurance periods of caring for 2 children), dividing it by the cost of one such point in 2015 (64, 10 rubles), and subtract 3 years of experience from the previous calculations (1.5 years for each child).

It is obvious that for Anna Ivanovna from the example considered, the recalculation of the pension for two adult children will be profitable(39.45 points more than 36.45). This is due to the fact that she had a small salary and low experience, while she has two children.

Thus, the woman in the considered example will receive a permanent increase in her pension in the amount of 39.45 - 36.45 = 3 points. The cost of 1 pension coefficient from April 1, 2019, taking into account the indexations carried out, is 87.24 rubles.

That., the pension supplement for her will be equal to 3 × 87.24 = 261.72 rubles.

How to apply for additional payment to the pension for children?

The recalculation of the pension payment, which implies an additional payment, taking into account non-insurance periods, is carried out by application only with the necessary documents.

In order to apply for an increase in the pension for children, pensioners must take few steps:

At the same time, there is several ways such an appeal:

  • personally (or through a legal representative) make an appointment with the client service of the district department of the Pension Fund;
  • contact the MFC at the place of residence;
  • send documents by mail;
  • issue an electronic appeal through a single portal of public services.

Despite all the appeals of the FIU not to create a stir around the topic of additional payments for adult children, the information provided about a possible increase in pensions causes concern for a large number of citizens, and their desire to quickly get an appointment with FIU specialists can be understood in view of the difficult economic situation in the country. However, in some PFR departments, an entry on the issue of recalculation has already been scheduled many months ahead.

Since the moment of recalculation will depend on the date of application, women in large settlements should pay attention to alternative ways of applying, bypassing a personal appointment with the FIU.

Application for recalculation of pension for children (sample)

An application for the recalculation of a pension for children is a standard form for revising the amount of a payment, including for other reasons. The application form for an additional payment can be filled out in advance by printing it out from the website of public services or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (or it can be downloaded). You can also issue it upon personal contact with the FIU or the MFC under the guidance of specialists from these institutions (in this case, the correctness of filling is guaranteed).

This document is drawn up in Russian and signed personally by a citizen or his legal representative (if there is a notarized power of attorney). According to the content of the application, one can distinguish its main points:

  • first, the name of the territorial body of the PFR is indicated, where the citizen applies;
  • then personal data follows (full name, citizenship, address of registration and actual place of residence);
  • in paragraph 3, the type of pension subject to recalculation is reported, and in the last column of the same paragraph, the basis for the additional payment is indicated "including non-insurance periods";
  • it is also necessary to list in writing the documents attached to the application.

The final signature of the applicant at the end of the document confirms the accuracy of the information provided by him.

What documents are needed to apply for an increase

IN package of documents required to apply for an increase in payment includes:

  • a document proving the identity of the pensioner or his legal representative;
  • pension insurance certificate ();
  • an application (a 4-page form is printed by an employee of the PFR in person or filled out by the applicant independently in electronic form on the website of public services);
  • birth certificates of children or a birth certificate from the registry office;
  • documents confirming that the child is 1.5 years old, to choose from:
    • certificate of education;
    • child's passport.

If the child's birth certificate contains a stamp indicating that he received a passport when he reaches the age of 14, then there is no need to provide any additional documents to confirm that he has been cared for!

It is worth remembering that in the case of applying for recalculation through the post office, copies of the submitted documents must be notarized, and in case of applying for an increase via the Internet, the documents necessary for the additional payment (except for the application made directly on the site) should be brought to the Pension Fund within five working days.

Deadlines for making a decision and when there will be an increase

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 23 of Law No. 400-FZ, the recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension is carried out from the first following the month in which the application was submitted. The revision of the pension payment by including non-contributory periods for adult children is no exception in this sense.

Do not forget that the possibility of submitting such an application for additional payment is not limited by any period. However, if you apply for the increase later, the pensioner will be able to start receiving a higher pension only from the next month - no supplements for the previous time missed since the entry into force of the new law is not allowed.

But since the additional payment to the pension is not guaranteed to absolutely everyone, the option of refusing to recalculate is also possible. In this case, an appropriate decision of the PFR commission will be made, about which the applicant will be notified by phone or e-mail address indicated by him in the application, and in the absence of such, by mail notification.

Is there a supplement to the pension for children born before 1990? I retired in 2005, I have three daughters born in 1974, born in 1979. and born in 1985, with each of which she was on parental leave for a year. During the indicated periods, I was in an employment relationship and this time was counted to me when assigning a pension payment as a length of service.

According to the norms of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, which entered into force in January 2015, it became possible to calculate the time spent caring for children (one and a half years with no more than four) according to a more favorable option, including for periods until 2015.

The question of increasing the pension for children, including those who have long been adults, is not worth it precisely because of the date of their birth before or after 1990. Such a recalculation is due to all women who have children and care for them at different times, including the Soviet period.

To compare several calculation options, you will need to contact the PFR department, where your payment case is located with documents confirming the departure, and write an application for recalculation.

If you have a short experience and a low salary coefficient applied to the calculation of the payment, then if you have three children, such a recalculation is likely to be beneficial. In the event that such a revision of the pension is unprofitable, its initial size will not be reduced, the commission will decide on the refusal.
