Pension supplement for 2 or more children. Increasing length of service to pension for children

Women with one or more children (including adults born in Soviet era before the 1990s or later) and those retired due to old age until January 1, 2015, can receive an increase by taking into account, in the form of pension points, the so-called “non-insurance periods” in which they cared for each child until he reached the age of 1.5 years.

• Until 2015 these periods were taken into account only in work experience women did not influence the size of the established pension provision.
• Now, according to the new law “About insurance pensions” dated December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ, they can be taken into account in the form of pension points, on the basis of which the size of the pension is directly determined (however, the woman’s work experience will be reduced for the corresponding periods, which may have a negative impact on already registered pension rights ah pensioners).

To receive a pension supplement for children in 2019, you must contact the Pension Fund (PFR) authorities at your place of residence with a corresponding application for recalculation or assignment new pension in connection with the replacement of periods, on the basis of which the amount of payments can be revised due to the inclusion of non-insurance periods in points. Moreover, this is not always possible to do - often, in order to obtain the right to take into account pension points for periods of child care, it is necessary to completely refuse a previously assigned pension with an application for the appointment of a new one, in which the option of such a replacement will be taken into account, which may entail significant changes in pension rights. In this case, when recalculating points, the length of service (including preferential service, which gives the right to ) will be reduced.

In this regard, the pensioner must approach this issue responsibly - in case of refusal, it will be impossible to return to the previous payment conditions!

It is also necessary to keep in mind that the size of the possible increase for children will be strictly individual, and to determine it, PFR specialists will need to raise the payment case and again carry out extensive work on. There is also no guarantee that the result will be more than the amount that the pensioner is currently receiving.

According to statistics, only 20-30% of the total number of women who applied receive an increase in their pension as a result of such recalculation or reassignment, and its average amount in most cases does not exceed several hundred rubles.

Who is entitled to recalculate pensions for children?

For mothers who have retired since 2015, both of these options (count the time spent caring for children as work or calculate it with points as a “non-insurance period”) were already calculated by the Pension Fund employees at the time, and the most profitable method according to the new law has already been assigned to them for payment. Therefore, contact the Pension Fund with an application to recalculate payments taking into account childcare time for such pensioners doesn't make sense.

Only those pensioners whose pension is was appointed before January 1, 2015 and to whom will be more profitable accrue pension points for periods of caring for children before they reach the age of 1.5 years, which is usually true in the following cases:

• if during these periods a woman there were breaks in work- in other words, if she was not employed at all at the time of the child’s birth and until he was one and a half years old (for example, if the addition to the family coincided with the woman’s studies at a college, technical school or university);
• if a woman was employed at the time of birth and caring for the child, but replacing the period of work with a “non-insurance period” (for which pension points are now calculated) will be more beneficial for her, which in practice is often common in such situations:
  • if a woman has 2 or more children- in other words, the more children were born, the more points can be awarded for them and the more significant the addition to the already assigned pension can be (however, according to the law, points can only be awarded for no more than 4 children);
  • if, when assigning a pension, the pensioner’s taken into account salary in the period before 2002, which included caring for a child under 1.5 years of age, did not exceed the national average salary or did not exceed it by more than 20% (the maximum taken into account earnings ratio in force before January 1, 2002 year law " About state pensions in the Russian Federation" was set at 1.2) - in other words, if a woman at the time of the birth of the child had a low salary at the place of employment.

As a rule, due to all the above circumstances, a woman’s pension in most cases is until January 1, 2015 was prescribed in a low amount(in practice, this is usually no more - in most regions it is 10-11 thousand rubles as of 2017). If such circumstances occur, and the pensioner has several adult children, then recalculating her pension may be beneficial to her. When points take into account non-insurance periods for child care, she may be given an increase.

If a woman has all the grounds for revising the amount of her pension, but the results of the recalculation still turn out to be “minus”, then the Pension Fund employees will make a decision decision to refuse, and the amount of payments will not change downward.

In addition, it must be borne in mind that there are certain categories of pensioners for whom such a recalculation not allowed at all according to legal norms:

• recipients early pensions who at the time of her appointment have not achieved and are no longer working (that is, do not belong to the category) - in this case, as a result of replacing their work experience, they may lose the right to early retirement due to a decreasing preferential length of service (this is, in particular, true for medical workers, teachers and other preferential categories);
• recipients state pensions installed in fixed size(including for living in areas affected by the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant);
• recipients of survivor's insurance pension(situations where the insured person himself has died or gone missing, and the pensioner is a dependent disabled family member, the fact of caring for children does not in any way affect the pension points of the deceased person, from which the amount of the payment was calculated).

How much will the pension increase be for pensioners with children?

The amount of additional payment to the pension for children born depends on the large number individual factors. Even if two pensioners of the same age have the same number of children each specific case The size of the increase will differ, since the place of work, length of service, salary and the moment of birth of children is determined individually for everyone.

• Such a recalculation will definitely be beneficial to women who, at the time of birth and during the first 1.5 years of the child’s life didn't work(for example, received education). In this case, they simply add a new, previously unaccounted period for which pension points will be assigned.
• If the period of child care falls during employment mother, then it can be credited to her only in one of two forms, the most advantageous in each specific case (either in the form of length of service and the salary received during this period, or according to the new rules - insurance points). In this case, an important role will be played by the amount of earnings a woman received during the “non-insurance period”, as well as how much her work experience will be reduced as a result of such a replacement.

According to Art. 12 laws “About insurance pensions” from January 1, 2015, along with periods of work, periods of implementation are counted in the insurance period one of the parents care for each child until he reaches 1.5 years of age, but no more than 6 years in total(i.e. no more than 6 years / 1.5 years = 4 children).

At the same time, according to clause 12 of Art. 15 of the same law, for periods of caring for children up to one and a half years from 2015, the following number of pension points can be accrued (see the table below and an example of calculation).

Table - Recalculation of pensions for women for children in 2019

For example, an increase in pension for 2 children for pensioners in 2019 for periods of caring for them before reaching 1.5 years would be equal to 2.7 + 5.4 = 8.1 points. from January 1, 2019, it was set at 87.24 rubles. In other words, the amount of additional payment to a pensioner may amount to up to 8.1 × 87.24 rub. = 706.64 rub. per month. Similarly, the maximum additional payment for 4 children can be up to (2.7 + 5.4 + 8.1 + 8.1) × 87.24 = 2119.93 rubles.

However, in practice, the amount of the increase during recalculation in most cases turns out to be much less. The fact is that if a woman worked during the indicated periods, as a result of such a replacement the amount of the already assigned pension will be reduced in proportion to the amount of earnings received during this period. In this regard, for example, for the first child the result of recalculation may even turn out to be negative, since it provides for the smallest number of pension points, and such a replacement will not be economically profitable (especially if the mother worked in a good position and received a high salary).

In other words, sometimes periods of work give a higher increase in pension than 1.5 years of child care, so replacing these periods when recalculating the pension may turn out to be “minus” and will lead to a reduction in the pension amount.

According to the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund of Russia, according to statistics only in 20-30% of cases of the total number of requests female may receive additional payment when recalculating pensions for children, with the average increase being within 100-200 rubles(although in some cases you can get a more impressive amount, so it’s advisable to try).

What documents are needed to recalculate mothers' pensions?

Recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension in connection with an increase in the amount of pension points (value - IPC) for periods before January 1, 2015 is carried out in accordance with clause 2 of Art. 18 of the law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ. It is carried out in a declarative manner - i.e. the pensioner will need to send it to the Pension Fund application for recalculation of pension amount(the application form was approved by Order of the Ministry of Labor dated January 19, 2016 No. 14n), which, according to clause 2 of Art. 23 of the same law is submitted with the simultaneous provision of documents necessary for such recalculation.

It is also necessary to understand that the recalculation of pensions for pensioners from January 1, 2015 in accordance with Art. 34 new laws “About insurance pensions” was carried out based on payment case documents. If any documents indicating that the woman cared for children were not presented when applying for a pension, then they could not be taken into account automatically, and in order to take into account the period of child care in points, recalculation will need to be done on an application basis.

The application can be submitted in person to the Pension Fund client services, as well as through the MFC. Currently, it is also possible to apply electronically through the “Personal Account” on the public services portal. Before this, it is advisable to make an appointment and get advice from employees of your Pension Fund branch, if possible - with carrying out preliminary calculations, which will confirm the advisability of filing an application in your particular case.

It is recommended to make an appointment in advance (the service is provided on the official website of the Pension Fund of Russia without registration). However, in some regions the queue for appointments may be busy a few months in advance. Due to long queues regarding the recalculation of pensions at the Pension Fund branches, it is often recommended to submit completed applications remotely, including by sending by mail notarized copies necessary documents.

When applying for recalculation of a pension for women for children, it is necessary provide the following documents:

• identification document of the applicant (passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation);
• birth certificates of all children (if they are not in the pensioner’s payment file);
• documents indirectly confirming that children have reached the age of 1.5 years:
  • if birth certificates bear a stamp indicating that the child has been issued a passport, then it will be sufficient to submit only a certificate with such a mark;
  • if there is no such stamp on the certificate, then you can present any other official document issued to the child after reaching 1.5 years of age (for example, a school certificate of education, a notarized copy of the child’s passport, his marriage certificate, etc.).

In cases where a pensioner for some reason cannot present birth certificates for her children (for example, if the children have grown up and moved with their documents to another region or even left the country), she can obtain them from the civil registry office child's birth certificate.

The law does not provide for any restrictions on the timing of filing an application for recalculation (in other words, you can apply for recalculation of your pension at any time). It is being considered no later than 5 working days, counted:

• from the date of receipt of the application with a full set of necessary documents submitted on the applicant’s own initiative;
• from the date of receipt of the necessary documents by the Pension Fund through interdepartmental interaction channels.

If a positive decision is made, recalculation is made in the general manner from the 1st day of the month following the month of application.

Important! If the periods of childcare coincide with the woman’s working activity, then recalculation of the pension with the replacement of work for “non-insurance” periods can only be carried out by renouncing a previously established pension, which may entail a significant change in the pension rights of the pensioner. In this case, it is necessary to approach this issue more responsibly, since after refusal to receive a pension on the same terms it will be impossible.

Is there an additional payment to the pension for children born before 1990?

The recalculation of pensions for children born before 1990 is carried out in the general manner - there are no significant features in this regard and the age of the children does not in any way affect the possibility of taking into account the period of care for them up to 1.5 years in points.

Additional payment to pensions for adult children born during Soviet times will be significant in two main cases:

• if the woman did not have official employment during these periods;
• if she had low earnings at that time.

In practice, supplement to pension for children in 2019 will not be possible in the following cases:

• if the woman has retired, starting January 1, 2015(i.e. in 2015-2019) - in this case, the most profitable option has already been calculated and selected automatically when assigning pension benefits, since all necessary documents is already at the disposal of employees of the Pension Fund;
• if a woman has only one child(pension points for the first child are minimal and the increase for them is usually completely “eaten up” by the reduction in length of service and earnings attributable to it);
• if the woman’s pension was initially calculated according to maximum earnings, taken into account until 2002 (maximum 20% more than the national average - the maximum taken into account earnings ratio was then set at 1.2).

In mid-2017, it became known that women who had already retired and were raising two or more children who were born before 1990 are entitled to an additional pension benefit. In this article, you will tell us what compensation pensioners are entitled to for 2 children, who is entitled to it according to the law, in what order the additional payment is calculated, and what documents pensioners will need to process the payment.

What documents are needed to receive compensation for pensioners for 2 children born in the USSR?

Important! Women who may qualify for a pension supplement for raising two children must confirm that they retired before January 1, 2015 - this is one of the conditions for the payment.

The pension supplement will not be assigned automatically, as was the case with the recalculation of pensions - pensioners will have to independently contact the district office Pension Fund and submit originals and photocopies of the following documents:

Important! Not all pensioners will benefit from recalculation. In some cases, it is better to leave the pension unchanged.

Who is entitled to compensation for pensioners for 2 children in 2020

Before contacting the regional offices of the Pension Fund of Russia for a pension recalculation taking into account the allowance for raising two children born before 1990, it is necessary to study the list of persons who are not entitled to an allowance by law. These include:

1. Pensioners who receive survivor benefits.
2. Preparers of state pension benefits.
3. Pensioners who retired early (before age 55).

Pensioners who retired before the beginning of 2015 can apply for recalculation if:

• the pension benefit was calculated before 2002 based on a salary not exceeding the average salary in the country (if the woman had low income before pregnancy);
• the pensioner is the mother of two, three or four children over the age of 28 (born before 1990);
• a woman who devoted herself to caring for her children did not work before and during pregnancy (or worked, but not officially, without entries in the work book).

In what order is compensation calculated for pensioners for 2 children?

Since 2015, when assigning a pension, individual pension coefficients (IPC or “pension points”) earned by the future pensioner during the period of official labor activity are taken into account. The more IPC an applicant has, the higher his pension benefit will be. Points are accumulated through:

• government contributions to the Pension Fund (in cases where the citizen does not work);
• insurance pension contributions of employers (currently contributions amount to 22% from the salary - 6% will be used to form a fixed payment, the rest 16% will be taken into account in the form of IPC on the citizen’s personal account).

The total number of pension points accumulated will be multiplied by the cost of one IPC, current on the date the future pensioner applies for a pension. In 2020, the cost of 1 “pension point” is 81 rubles 57 kopecks.

Important! If a pensioner spent no more than 12 months on parental leave, 3.6 IPC will be added to her account; for a full 1.5 years, the premium will be 5.4 IPC. The pension supplement is calculated in individually, therefore, it will be difficult to predict the amount of the premium in advance - it is necessary to have data stored by Pension Fund employees.

Expert opinion on the question of who will benefit from a recalculation and compensation being awarded to pensioners for 2 children

Experts from the Russian Pension Fund pensioners are informed that recalculation will not be profitable for some categories of applicants. In this regard, a list of those who should apply for recalculation has been compiled. The pension will increase due to the allowance for raising two children if recalculation is required:

• pensioners whose work experience is minimal (pension benefits are calculated based on low wages);
• pensioners who did not have an official place of employment while on maternity leave (if before pregnancy the woman was studying, looking for work or working unofficially);
• pensioners who gave birth to twins, triplets or more children at the same time;
• pensioners who have managed to care for two and a half in their lifetime. more than children (until the children are one and a half years old).

In July of this year, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation gave an explanation about increasing the pension for children. According to current legislation, pensioners who have children born before 1990 rubles will receive an increase of several hundred rubles.

Women who contacted local branch Pension Fund, have already received an increase in 2017. As a result, other pensioners immediately lined up to receive benefits.

It should be noted that this is not an independent payment, but an addition to the basic pension. The amount of the increase is small, only in some cases it can exceed 1,000 rubles.

In this article we will take a closer look at the procedure for calculating such an allowance.

We are collecting documents for a pension supplement for two children born in the USSR

If a person who retired before 2015 has children born in the USSR before 1990, then he has the right to apply to the Pension Fund to receive a supplement to the basic pension. For recalculation, you must submit the following documents:

• Valid passport.
• Application for recalculation.
• Child's birth certificate.
• Certificate from the child’s place of work or study.
• Documentary evidence that the spouse did not recalculate.
• You also need to order form No. 9 from the passport office.
• SNILS.

All documents must be photocopied and submitted to the local branch of the Pension Fund.

Which pensioners are entitled to the supplement?

Pensioners who began receiving payments before January 1, 2015 can count on pension recalculation. In addition, you need to understand that recalculation will not be beneficial for everyone. The following pensioners are recommended to contact the Pension Fund:

• Women with 2 or more children whom she cared for until the age of 1.5 years.
• Women who have several children during one pregnancy.
• Women who were not employed while caring for children. For example, she may not have worked at all before pregnancy or was in training.
• For women who have a minimum work experience, the pension is calculated taking into account small earnings.

In other cases, it is not profitable to recalculate. In addition, the bonus is not intended for people who retired early or on preferential terms.

How is it calculated?

Since 2015, pension points have been the indicator of benefits; they are formed in several ways:

• Through employer contributions. Today these payments amount to 22% of wages. 6% goes towards a fixed payment, and the remaining 16% is counted as points on the person’s personal account.
• State accruals when the future pensioner does not work.

It is important to note that 3 years are provided for child care, but only 1.5 years are included in the insurance period. During the same period, the mother receives child benefit.

The number of accumulated points is multiplied by coefficients in rubles. Thus, one point is 78.58 rubles.

According to current legislation, the pension period includes only 1.5 years of child care, but no more than 6 years, that is, a pension supplement can be received for no more than 4 children.

If the mother took care of children for no more than 1 year, then she is entitled to an increase of 3.6 points (3.6X78.58). If care was 1.5 years, then 5.4 points are awarded. But the maximum allowance for two children can be 424.33 rubles.

Only an employee of the Pension Fund of Russia can make accurate calculations of the allowance, since the procedure for calculating the allowance is carried out on an individual basis.

If, according to the results of the calculations, the allowance is negative, then the pensioner will not be recalculated.

Who is entitled to a pension supplement for children born before 1990 during Soviet times?

The pension supplement for children is provided only to those pensioners who began receiving payments before January 1, 2015. Recalculation is done in the following cases:

• If, while caring for a child, a woman did not have an employment relationship, that is, she did not work at all before and during pregnancy.
• If a woman has 2-4 children born before 1990.
• If a woman’s pension was calculated before 2002 on the basis of wages that did not exceed the statistical average. In other words, if at the time of the birth of the child the girl received a small salary.

It should also be noted the categories of people who are not entitled to a bonus:

• Women receiving early retirement. That is, they began receiving benefits before reaching retirement age.
• Recipients of government benefits.
• Recipients of pensions due to the loss of a breadwinner.

Pension benefits are paid not only upon reaching a certain age, but also in other cases established by current legislation. Certain citizens are eligible to take advantage of the offer. Payment also occurs if there are children.

What is it

In accordance with current legislation, all citizens of retirement age who have dependent minors have the right to apply for state-type security. The bonus is considered fixed and is set as a percentage by which the pension is increased.

Additionally, it can be established in the form of pension points.

The Labor Code describes the concept of dependency as:

1. full content of another person;
2. provision of funds for maintenance, and the allowance will be considered the main source of income;
3. family ties between the dependent and the supporter.

Payment from the state can be provided only to those people who fully support children. For example, if the latter cannot, for some reason, earn their own living.

Such dependents may include:

1. minors;
2. disabled people;
3. adult citizens who are studying.

Payment is made on the basis of legislative acts and relevant programs developed in a particular federal district and local government. The federal payment is calculated by calculating for each family member, if he falls under this category.

The federal budget also allocates cash in the form financial assistance children who are deprived of parents and are also supported by a pensioner.

The government of each specific region is developing its own proposal to support people with pensions. People who are classified as single mothers or breadwinners of a large family can also count on receiving assistance from the government. Benefits are calculated based on individual criteria.

Supplement for children born before 1990

The size of this increase depends on several features. The calculation is made based on the number of students. The federal and local allowance is formed when there are four children or more.

Payment for babies born before 1990 is calculated at the following rate:

1. for the first child – 1.8 points;
2. for the second – 3.6 points;
3. third and subsequent – ​​5.4 points.

For maternity leave in the amount of one and a half years is accrued:

1. for the first child – 2.7 points;
2. for the second – 5.4 points;
3. third and subsequent – ​​8.1 points.

Pension benefits increase in accordance with the number of children. The current Federal Law states that if a citizen has given birth to more than 4 children, then she has the right to receive a maximum of 24 pension points.

The bonus for such people directly depends on the mother’s salary. If she was employed at the time she cared for the children, she has the right to claim points for labor activity or caring for minors.

The increase also depends on the total length of service.

Who is entitled to

This increase is given to all mothers who provide for 4 or more children. To receive a bonus for children born before this period, you should visit the branch of the Russian Pension Fund at the place of registration and submit an application in the established form.

List of documents for registration

To receive additional payment, an adult must provide the following package of documentation:

1. birth certificate of all pupils;
2. documentation stating that the child is less than 1.5 years old;
3. a copy of the insurance certificate;
4. copy of passport data.

Pay of this type accrued only after submitting a complete package of documents and personal appeal to the Pension Fund Russian Federation. A person has the right to perform an operation at any time. Remote submission of an application is allowed through the official portal of State Services and Russian Post.

Federal supplement to women's pensions for children

It is not uncommon in Russia for a pensioner to raise a minor child. It is almost impossible to support a dependent on pension benefits. After all, a child needs full-fledged care and education.

For a minor

All citizens who have retired due to old age have the right to receive a supplement to the insurance portion if they have dependents.

The increase is accrued until the following circumstances:

1. the dependent's attainment of majority;
2. reaching 23 years of age while studying full-time;
3. for all dependents, if the pensioner has disabled status.

For a disabled child

If a person who receives a state supplement based on age provides for a disabled child from the first, second or third group, then the supplement is calculated regardless of the child’s age.

To the guardian in mandatory the payment towards pension provision is fixed before and after the disabled person reaches the age of majority. The status is confirmed by documentary evidence, which establishes the minor’s incapacity.

State duty for divorce in 2019. More details here.

For a student under 23 years old

To receive an additional payment for the education of a child student, you must provide a certificate from the place of study confirming that your studies have been carried out. Information of this type is transmitted through the dean's office of the educational institution.

How much extra is paid?

The surcharge directly depends on several factors and can vary up or down.

For two children

If a person has dependent minors, the additional payment will be:

1. for the -1st child – 32% increase – 3416 rubles;
2. with 2 – 64% – 4271;
3. at 3-ex or more – 100% –

When guarding a student:

If the guardian – relative whose age is over 80 years:

If the guardian – a relative whose age is over 80 years old and has a disability:

1. one - from 4 to 11 thousand;
2. two – from 6.5–12.8 thousand;
3. three – 7.2–14.5 thousand.

Indexation of social payments

The current legislation provides for the possibility of indexation based on inflation indicators for the previous period. The indicator must be calculated for each year. In 2019, the action was carried out at a rate of 3.2%.

Since the beginning of April 2019, it has been further increasing social benefit. If the surcharge is less than the subsistence level specified for a specific region, the Russian Pension Fund makes an additional surcharge.

The following are entitled to receive indexation:

1. citizens with disabilities;
2. people who receive benefits for the loss of a breadwinner;
3. military veterans;
4. all people who have benefits.

Regional supplement

In the capital, this payment is tied to the subsistence level. At the moment, the amount is set at 17.5 thousand rubles

Those whose pension was assigned in 2015 and later do not need to worry about recalculation: when assigning a pension, they have already chosen the most profitable option in accordance with the law.

Recalculation has been in effect for a long time

So what actually happened? And why did we call it erroneous the statement that “first of all, working pensioners should count on an increase in pension; persons over 80 years of age; disabled people; pensioners with dependents; former and current employees of the Far North regions"? Yes, because recalculations within the framework of pension legislation for these categories of pensioners were in effect until 2015, and did not disappear after the introduction of Law 400.

Thus, working pensioners receiving insurance pension, it is recalculated annually. This is the so-called August recalculation of insurance premiums that the employer paid for them last year. And when they leave work, their pension will be indexed by the percentage of missed annual February indexations.

For persons who have reached the age of 80, the fixed payment to the insurance pension is doubled. Compare, at the moment its total amount is 4805.67 rubles, and for 80-year-olds it is 9610.22 rubles.

For disabled people of the first group, the fixed payment is doubled, without waiting for the age of 80, but as soon as the disability insurance pension is assigned. In addition, they receive an additional payment in exchange for benefits in kind - in the form of a Monthly cash payment. And a Set of social services, which, at their choice, can be received either in money or in services.

If a pensioner has disabled dependents (for example, children or grandchildren who are in their care), an increased fixed payment to the old-age insurance pension is also established. In this case, no more than three disabled dependents are taken into account. Now it is from 6406.81 to 9610.21 rubles, depending on the number of dependents. If a person receiving a disability insurance pension or who has reached the age of 80 has dependents, in these cases the fixed payment is even higher. Plus insurance part, naturally.

Along with this, there are other types of activities when a citizen was not subject to compulsory pension insurance, but which are included in the insurance period. These are called “non-insurance” periods. Among them are the periods of care of one of the parents for each child until he reaches the age of one and a half years, but not more than 6 years in total, and others. If the periods of work and “non-insurance” periods coincide in time, one of them is taken into account at the choice of the person applying for the pension.

Some pensioners find it beneficial to take into account not work, but, for example, child care in their insurance period. In this case, each full year of care for one child is estimated at 1.8 pension coefficients(points), for the second child - 3.6, for the third and fourth - 5.4.

Recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension is carried out upon the application of the pension recipient from the 1st day of the month following the month of application to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at the place of receipt of the pension. The application must be accompanied by birth certificates of children (originals or notarized copies) and documents confirming the child’s survival to the age of 1.5 years. Such documents include: the presence in the child’s birth certificate of a stamp indicating that he received a passport; in the absence of a stamp: a school certificate, a certificate from housing authorities about the place of residence of the children, etc. If these documents are available in the pension file, then their re-submission is not required.

The application can be sent by mail. In this case, it must be accompanied by notarized copies of birth certificates of children and other documents that were not in the pension file. An application for pension recalculation can be submitted electronically through the unified portal of public services of the Pension Fund of Russia. It must be remembered that birth certificates of children and other necessary documents (if they are not in the pension file) must be presented in person or through a representative within 5 days. Failure to comply with this rule will result in the received application not being considered.

Who can benefit from counting “non-insurance” periods using points? Among them:

Not working (not in an employment relationship) on the date of birth of the child and until he reaches the age of 1.5 years. For example, a woman gave birth to a child during her studies;

Having two or more children who were born with a short interval;

Those with extensive work experience, but low earnings, etc.

Who might not benefit from reviewing their length of service and pension amount? Among them:

Recipients of early old-age pensions who have not reached retirement age (55 or 60 years). In these situations, replacing periods of work with “non-insurance” periods may lead to a reduction in the length of special service and loss of the right to early retirement;

Recipients of federal social supplement;

Situations when replacing periods of work with “non-insurance” ones will require the submission of new salary certificates, etc.

The feasibility of revising the amount of the insurance pension will be visible only after its preliminary calculation. For this reason, the PFR authorities, when accepting applications, explain that the recalculation will be carried out if it leads to an increase in the amount of the pension. There are many cases when a revision of the pension amount leads to its reduction. In these cases, the applicant is sent a decision to refuse recalculation.

What can be the increase in pension after replacing periods of work with “non-insurance” periods?

The amount of the additional payment depends on the length of the pensioner’s work experience, his average monthly earnings, the moment of birth of children (during work, study, or a non-working parent, etc.).

Example. The woman has been receiving an old-age insurance pension since 2012. As of January 1, 2002, her total work experience is 26 years. Earnings ratio 1.2. During her work, she gave birth to two children in 1979 and 1988. When replacing periods of work with two periods of caring for each child until they reach the age of 1.5 years, 3 years will be excluded from the work experience, which will lead to a decrease in the length of service coefficient and the amount of valorization. The points accrued instead for “non-insurance” periods (8.1 points in total) did not lead to an increase in the pension received. The woman's pension was denied recalculation.

Those who retired in 2015 and later do not need to apply for additional recalculation.

Situation with refusal to recalculate

Inna Vitalievna left work at 50 years old. Having learned about the bonus, she came to the Pension Fund of Russia, but was denied additional payment. The point is that the recalculation led to a decrease in the size of the pension, not an increase. Pension Fund employees were unable to change the conditions for the worse. Since Inna Vitalievna has early retirement (preferential), a reduction in her work experience is unacceptable for her.

What will be the increase in pension for children?

The amount of the surcharge is calculated individually in each case. The final size of the supplement is influenced by several factors: the number of children, the age of the pensioner, work experience, place of work and salary.

The situation regarding the allowance for two children

Maria Petrovna and Lidiya Ivanovna were born on the same day, worked for 30 years, raised 2 children each and retired in 2013. But Maria Petrovna worked as a history teacher with a white salary in a village in the Far North, and Lidia Ivanovna worked as a saleswoman in Krasnodar, with an official salary of 6,000 rubles.

The amount will be the same at the rates from the table if the woman did not receive a white salary during the period of giving birth to a child and caring for him, and provided that these 1.5 years were not taken into account in any way when calculating the pension. If during this period the woman worked officially, then the additional payment will be less due to the reduction in work experience.

The situation regarding the recalculation of points for the birth of children

Lidia Ivanovna applied for recalculation and received 2.7 points for her youngest son and 5.4 for her eldest. Total 8.1 points. In 2019, the cost of one point is 87 rubles. The supplement will be 704 rubles monthly.

The year of birth of children does not affect the amount of the supplement. Despite the widespread misconceptions that they pay extra only for those children who were born before the collapse of the USSR. The fact is that the additional payment is higher for those pensioners who worked most of their lives in the Soviet Union. These are precisely those pensioners whose children were born before 1990-1991.

Fixed surcharge for minor children

The state pays a fixed pension supplement to guardians of minor children. The degree of relationship does not matter: natural children, brothers, sisters, grandchildren. The supplement is paid until the age of 18. If the child is educated at a university, school, or college, the supplement will be extended until the age of 23. There are no age restrictions for disabled children.

The size of the premium is affected by:

• number and age of dependents;
• age of the pensioner;
• disability;
• region of residence.

The bonus is calculated as a percentage of the fixed payment to the pension. As of January 1, 2019, the fixed part is 5,334 rubles.

When calculating this premium, the regional coefficient is taken into account.

Situation: benefits for pensioners for minor children

Margarita Pavlovna from Chelyabinsk receives a pension of 15,400 rubles. It so happened that she takes care of her seven-year-old granddaughter. She contacted the Pension Fund and received a 32% increase. The regional coefficient is 15%. The final amount of the allowance for Margarita Pavlovna is 5,667 rubles.

What documents are needed to apply for child benefit?

1. Passport.
2. SNILS.
3. Statement.
4. Birth certificates for each child (with a note about the issue of the passport).
5. If the child’s certificate does not contain a note on the issue of a passport, then a document is needed confirming that he is over one and a half years old (school certificate, copy of the passport).

Before going to the Pension Fund branch, it is better to call again, describe your situation and clarify what documents are required. Typically, employees have the most new information about the changes.

How to get

To receive an additional payment, you must contact the branch of the Russian Pension Fund at your place of residence and consult with a Pension Fund employee. Additional payments are not always calculated after a simple recalculation. In most cases, you will have to abandon the existing conditions for calculating a pension and apply for new ones.

After refusal and registration of new ones, it will not be possible to return to the old conditions.

Pension Fund specialists will calculate the pension amount taking into account individual length of service, benefits, place of work, salary, and number of adult children. If the new conditions turn out to be more favorable than the existing ones, then you need to submit an application for recalculation.

At the Pension Fund branch

The application is submitted in person and documents from the list are attached. Before submitting, the employee calculates his future pension.

It is better to make an appointment in advance by calling 8 800 302 2 302, on the Pension Fund website, so as not to stand in line. You need to contact the department at your place of registration or registration.

At the Multifunctional Center

Not all MFC cities accept documents for pension recalculation. Before going to the center, we recommend checking the list of services provided in your city. To do this, you need to select your city in the list and go to the city center website, go to the “On-line registration” page, select “Public services”, then “ Government institutions– Branches of the Russian Pension Fund”, then the nearest MFC and the date of visit.

On the electronic portal

On the Unified Portal of Public Services, documents are submitted electronically. To submit an application remotely, you need to register in the service and have a confirmed identity. It is better to make an appointment through the portal at the Pension Fund of Russia, and submit the application and documents in person.

You need to print and fill out the application, have the rest of the documents on the list certified by a notary and send everything together by registered mail to the address of the Pension Fund branch.

Deadlines for submitting documents

The state and the Pension Fund do not set time restrictions. You can submit your application when it is appropriate: today, in a month or in next year. It's better to serve a little later, when the rush subsides and the lines are shorter.
