Supplement to pension taking into account periods of child care

Recently, a lot of dubious information has appeared on the Internet that today pensioners are supposedly receiving additional payments for children born before 1990. IN in social networks Even a calculation table is being circulated containing incorrect data on the amounts of pension increases.

Many people were misled by incorrect information. The number of requests to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on this issue is growing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, PFR specialists decided to talk in detail about who is entitled to an increase in the pension for children, what documents are needed for this, as well as from when it will be made, and how you can apply for recalculation.

Not an additional payment to the pension for children, but a recalculation!

When pensioners apply to Pension Fund offices for an increase in pension for children born before 1990, experts explain that this is not about additional payments, but about recalculating pensions for periods of caring for children before they reach the age of one and a half years. What's the difference?

As is known, starting from 2015, the insurance period, except for periods labor activity, the so-called “non-insurance” periods are included. These include, among other things, parental leave to care for each child up to one and a half years old (but not more than six years in total). If the periods coincide in time, one of them is taken into account: either work or childcare - the one with which the pension amount will be higher. It should be noted that not all pensioners are entitled to recalculation.

Who can apply for recalculation?

Citizens who retired before 2015. For those who retire from 2015, the most profitable option is immediately selected, so there is no need to contact us again about this. For caring for the first child, 1.8 points are awarded per year of care, for the second child - 3.6 points, for the third and fourth - 5.4 points for each year of care. Points are awarded for no more than four children. The cost of one pension point today is 78 rubles 58 kopecks.

Thus, based on the cost of the point, 1.5 years of care for the first child in monetary terms is 212.17 rubles, for the second – 424.33 rubles, for the third and fourth – 636.50 rubles each. In this case, points can be awarded for no more than four children. And children can be born not only in the USSR, that is, before 1991, but also after.

Why were childcare periods not taken into account when assigning pensions?

This question arises for many people who only today learned that they may be entitled to an additional payment to their pension for children.

Pension Fund specialists answer that the situation arose due to the fact that the point system for calculating pensions appeared only in 2015.

Work experience is established on the basis of entries in the work book, and periods of child care are not recorded in it. If a woman at the time of granting a pension provided birth certificates for children, then periods of child care were taken into account in seniority according to the norms of previous legislation. And if not, then you can do it today.

Is it beneficial for everyone to recalculate pensions for children?

It turns out that not everyone! Only a Pension Fund specialist can accurately determine whether recalculation is beneficial in a particular case or not, based on the documents of the payment case.

As a rule, those who have short work experience, low salaries and three or more children can count on an increase in the size of their pension, that is, if a woman is mother of many children. Also, an addition to the pension is possible if during the period of work to be replaced by the period of leaving, the salary was low or if the period of leaving coincided, for example, with training. If you have a stable job and a full salary, there will most likely be no benefit from recalculation.

What kind of pension increase can you expect for children?

Everyone has an individual calculation of their pension amount. The fact is that if the periods of care coincide with the period of work, the corresponding period of work is excluded from calculating the total length of service. This means that the part of the pension established for this period of service must be excluded from the pension amount and replaced with the amount calculated using the point system for the period of child care.

It will also be necessary to review earnings if they were taken into account for the period that is excluded due to recalculation.

In addition, if the difference between the births of children is less than one and a half years, then in calculating the increase in pension only the actual time spent caring for the child until the birth of the next one will be taken into account.

Disadvantages of recalculating pensions taking into account periods of child care

Pension Fund specialists also remind that reducing the length of service for the temporary period of child care will also reduce the percentage of valorization (i.e., revaluation of pension rights), which is used to increase the size of the pension during work in the “Soviet period,” i.e. until 1991.

And for recipients of early pensions who have not reached the generally established retirement age(55 years for women, 60 years for men), replacing length of service with points leads to loss of the right to receive an early pension.

Thus, as a result of calculating the possibility of replacing the previous procedure for accounting for length of service into points, the period of child care will not provide a more favorable pension amount and, accordingly, the pension will not be increased.

From what period does recalculation take place?

Recalculation is made from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the application was submitted.

What documents are needed to receive a pension supplement for children?

Recalculation is carried out at the request of the pensioner. When applying for recalculation to the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the applicant must provide:

• - identity document (Russian passport),
• - individual personal account insurance number (SNILS),
• - birth certificate of all children with passport issuance stamps.

If this stamp is missing, you can submit other documents that indirectly confirm the child has reached the age of one and a half years - for example, a passport, education certificate, marriage certificate of the child.

Are there any deadlines when I can apply for recalculation?

There are no such deadlines. Residents can apply for recalculation at any convenient time.

Information on the Internet about a large additional payment to pensions for children born in the USSR, that is, before 1990-1991, does not comply with the law, according to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

In July 2017, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation provided clarification regarding the so-called “additional payment to the pension for a child.” Many pensioners who, even before this, independently applied to Pension Fund on this issue, they are already receiving an allowance. This led to the formation of queues in the branches and forced detailed official explanations to be published in the media and on the official website of the structure.

Recalculation of pensions according to new rules

The rules for calculating monthly pension benefits are constantly changing. In 2015, a law was passed according to which the amount of monthly pension payments now the so-called non-insurance periods also influence. These include, in particular, caring for a child under 1.5 years old.

Women who retired two years ago or later do not need to apply for a recalculation. The most profitable option was already assigned to them for payment. The pension is recalculated only if the pensioner has non-insurance periods that were not taken into account earlier, i.e. until 2015, or were taken into account, but according to the old rules.

Women who receive old-age payments, are not recipients of state pensions and do not receive a survivor's pension can receive the supplement. There is an additional payment for children to the disability pension and long service pension.

The amount of the supplement is purely individual and is not guaranteed for any pensioner with children. In some cases, replacing length of service with a non-insurance period of child care will simply not be profitable and the pension will “go into the negative” when recalculated. Even if such a situation occurs, payments will not be reduced, the pension will remain the same as before the recalculation.

Who cannot receive additional payment for children?

1. Persons receiving early retirement(teachers, doctors, military) and at the time of applying for recalculation are not working and have not yet reached the general age of retirement. In this case, recalculation may cause the fact that due to the replacement of seniority with a non-insurance period, they may lose their right to receive a pension early.
2. Persons receiving state pensions in the established amount (including for eliminating the consequences of the Chernobyl accident or living in areas affected by the disaster).
3. Persons receiving insurance payments for the loss of their sole breadwinner, if the pensioner himself is a disabled person.

Thus, not all disabled people have the right to receive additional payment for a child in addition to their disability pension. Those disabled people who receive a pension cannot receive additional payment, including, according to preferential length of service, those who belong to the category of liquidators of the Chernobyl accident or persons affected by the disaster, as well as disabled pensioners receiving survivor benefits.

Special cases of receiving a pension supplement

In some cases, there is a right to an additional payment for a child, but it is simply unprofitable to recalculate, since the final amount of the increase may be negative. Thus, recalculation of payments will most likely not provide an increase in payments in the following cases:

1. If a pensioner has one child.
2. If you have a long work history, including while caring for a child.
3. If the pension was initially assigned based on a high salary.

Recalculation will be beneficial in the following situations:

1. If a pensioner has two or more children whom the woman cared for until they reached the age of 1.5 years.
2. If several children were born from one or more pregnancies.
3. If during the period of caring for the newborn the mother was not officially employed.
4. If a woman retired with minimal service.
5. If the pension was calculated based on average or low earnings.
6. If a woman is paid a minimum pension.

The special cases for the supplement for children to the disability pension are the same as for old-age pensions, long-service pensions, and so on.

How many points are awarded for each child?

According to current legislation, the number of pension points also includes periods of child care, but not more than six years. In this case, the points awarded for children will be different depending on the order of birth of the child.

For caring for the first baby for one year, 1.8 points are awarded, for 1.5 years - 2.7 points. For the second child, 3.6 and 5.4 points, respectively, for the third, fourth and subsequent ones - 5.4 and 8.1. For four children, a maximum of 16.2 points can be obtained if care was provided for one year, or 24.3 points if care was provided for 1.5 years.

The maximum increment amounts are indicated. The number of points will decrease if the woman was in an employment relationship while caring for the child or these periods were already taken into account when assigning a pension.

How much will the pension supplement be?

The cost of one for the current year is set at 78.58 rubles. Thus, the increase can range from 141.4 rubles to 1909.5 or more.

Caring for the first baby for 1 year - 141.4 rubles, for 1.5 years - 212.2 rubles. For the second one during the year - 298.6 rubles, 1.5 years - 424.3 rubles. For the third and subsequent children - 424.3 rubles. and 636.5 rub. respectively.

Thus, if a woman has three children, each of whom she cared for for 1.5 years, and was not in an employment relationship, the pensioner can count on an increase of 1,273 rubles. If a disabled woman is the mother of five children, the last two of whom she looked after for a year, the rest for 1.5 years, and receives payments based on her work experience, then the additional payment for children to the disability pension (amount) will be 2121, 6 rubles.

A woman who cared for her only child for a year and a half, but was officially employed at that time, can, at best, count on only 212.2 rubles. Taking into account the work experience for the same year and a half, it is possible that the pension without taking into account the non-insurance period will be higher than taking into account the additional payment for the child, so when assigning an additional payment, the length of service during the same period will no longer be taken into account.

What documents are required for recalculation?

To recalculate your pension you will need the following documents:

1. Application from a pensioner who cared for a child. According to the law, the bonus can be assigned only to one of the parents. As a rule, the mother applies for additional payments. The application form is provided by the Pension Fund.
2. Internal passport.
3. SNILS.
4. Birth certificates or (if there are no certificates for any reason) certificates of birth of children from the registry office.
5. Any document confirming that the child has reached the age of 1.5 years (diploma, certificate, military ID, passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, any paper that was issued to the child at a later age).

The last two documents are additional; they must be provided if the Pension Fund records do not contain data on children and the period of care for them. You should inquire separately about the need to prepare additional documents, since this is an individual issue.

Registration of additional payment to pension

To get an increase in your pension for children, you need to personally contact the Pension Fund (you can sign up in advance in the electronic queue through the website so as not to wait long on the spot) or to the MFC (now “My Documents”) in large regions of the country. You can contact the Pension Fund for recalculation of pension payments via the Internet, using the State Services portal, or by mail (registered mail). It is important that it is not recommended to send original documents by mail. You need to make copies of them and have them certified by a notary.

You can submit papers online and bring all the missing documents within the next five working days - this will not be considered a violation of the procedure for processing additional payments. If the documents are not provided, the electronic application will not be considered at all.

Application deadlines

There is no deadline for submitting applications; you can prepare documents and bring them at any convenient time. If the decision to charge an additional amount is made, the premium will be accrued from the next month.

According to the law, people who have reached retirement age (women 55, men 60) receive certain payments called an old-age pension. The size of these payments depends on the length of service and place of work of a particular person. There are situations when a pensioner is engaged in the maintenance and upbringing of minor children, in which case he is entitled to an allowance. The state also pays additional funds people who support a child receiving education in a professional educational organization. Additional payments to pensioners for children are made in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.

Grounds for accrual of funds

Additional funds to provide for minor children are paid as the insurance part of the pension. The calculation procedure is carried out in accordance with the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”. According to this legal act, pensioners who care for disabled citizens are entitled to fixed cash payments to the insurance part of the pension.

Order of the Ministry of Labor No. 958n determines the list of documents required to complete the procedure. Additional payments to pensioners with minor children are made only after submitting the required official papers.

Federal Law No. 4468-1 determines the procedure for payments to those persons who served in the criminal executive authorities, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and fire departments.

Necessary conditions for calculating the allowance

It is worth noting that additional payments to pensioners for children are made only if they are dependent on elderly people. This means that the pensioner fully supports and provides for the children. Payments are made only to those people who have reached a certain age and have retired.

Dependent status, which provides additional financial assistance from the state, is assigned next category of people:

• under the age of 18;
• if studying in secondary or higher educational institutions up to 23 years of age;
• In case of disability, payments are made even after reaching the age of majority.

According to the law, children, brothers, sisters, and grandchildren can be recognized as dependents within the family. In this case, there is no need to prove in court that the person is actually fully supported and supported.

List of documents

As already noted, additional payments to pensioners for minor children are made only after all Required documents. These include:

• Application for an increase in payment. A special form is issued by an employee of the authority; it must indicate the name of the institution where the application is being submitted, the personal data of the pensioner, information about minor children who are supported.
• Birth certificates for each child.
• Official paper confirming employment.
• A certificate stating that there have been no previous requests for an increase in payments.
• Document form No. 9, issued at the passport office.
• If the child is studying at an educational institution, it is necessary to submit a certificate confirming this fact.
• If the child is disabled, a certificate of group assignment must be attached.

Additional payments to pensioners for children towards the pension are made only after a positive decision of the relevant body.

Procedure for processing documents

The above documents must be submitted to the pension fund at your place of residence. In addition, you should write an application for recalculation of the funds paid. Usually the appeal is considered within 10 days, then a decision is made. In most cases, if the applicant has done everything correctly, payments will be assigned. If pension fund employees identify any violations, you need to correct them and resubmit the application.

In order to achieve the appointment of a pension supplement, you can use a more modern method, namely through the State Services website. First you need to register on the portal and confirm your personal data. After this, you should select the “Pension Assignment” department and then follow the instructions. The screen will display fields that need to be filled out. Then, if everything is done correctly, you can submit your application. In this case, the verification and decision will take a month. This method is suitable for people who do not have time to apply to the pension fund on their own.

Amount of supplement for pensioners for children

To determine a specific amount, you need to pay attention to several factors. It depends on them how much money will be added to the pension:

• number of children under age;
• age of the pensioner;
• whether a pensioner or child has disabled status;
• place of residence.

So, in 2017, the additional payment to pensioners with 2 children is 4,270 rubles, for one - 3,416, and for three - 5,124. This is provided that the person maintaining the children has not reached the age of 80 and does not have a disability group.

Those citizens who are over 80 years old and who have dependents in accordance with the law receive the following payments:

• for one dependent - 5970 rubles;
• for two - 6832 rubles;
• for three - 7680 rubles.

Now let’s consider the maximum amount of additional payment that is due to pensioners supporting minor children.

Largest payout amount

This benefit is claimed by those persons who have reached the age of 80 and have disabled status. The additional payment to pensioners for two children in this case will be 6,440-12,800 rubles. The specific amount depends on the assigned disability group. For one child, a payment is due in the amount of 4,000 to 11,200 rubles, and for three, from 7,200 to 14,400 rubles.

It is worth noting that residents of the Far North or equivalent territories have the right to receive a larger payment due to their living conditions. If children have reached 18 years of age and are undergoing training in a professional educational organization, the additional payment is 1500 rubles. All these figures may vary depending on the region of residence. To find out the amount a pensioner can claim, you need to consult with a pension fund employee.

Allowances for mothers of many children

According to the legislation of our country, women who have the status of mothers of many children can receive pension benefits earlier than others. To do this, you need to meet some conditions:

• reach the age of 50 years;
• have 5 children or more;
• have a work experience of at least 15 years.

However, this category of citizens cannot count on any additional financial assistance. But every subject of Russia has the right to provide social support. Payments will be made from the regional budget and controlled by local authorities.

The additional payment to pensioner women for children (mothers of many children) in Moscow ranges from 4,000 to 9,000 rubles. In the northern capital of our country, the amount of payments is slightly less, about 3,000 rubles. It is worth noting that not all regions implement social support this category of citizens.

Features of receiving payments to mothers with many children

Currently, a woman raising four children can count on an increase in her pension benefit. This became possible after the amendments to Federal law"About insurance pensions." Only women who retired before 2015 can receive benefits.

There is now a points system in place. They are calculated according to the number of children, and the amount of the supplement depends on this. A woman who raises and supports two or more minor children has the right to receive an additional payment to the insurance part of the pension for each child.

If children reach the age of 18, but at the same time are studying at an educational institution, the supplement is made in a certain order. In order to receive payments, you should contact the pension fund with an application to recalculate the pension points that were accrued while caring for children.

Allowances for military pensioners

Additional payment to pensioners for children is carried out in accordance with the procedure established by law. The military is no exception in this sense. They can apply for bonuses to the insurance pension, to social benefits and for length of service (reserve military personnel). A military pensioner must write a corresponding application and submit the necessary documents. Payments are made for a preferential category of citizens. These include minor children, disabled people and students of educational institutions who are under 23 years of age.

The legislation provides for the following payments (as a percentage):

• for one child - 32% of the size social pension disabled;
• for two children - 64%;
• for three children - 100%.

It should be noted that the payment is made only if the military pensioner does not receive social benefits.

Conclusion

Additional payments to working pensioners for children are made upon reaching retirement age. The state is trying to help this category of citizens in a difficult situation. Raising and supporting a child is not an easy task. Therefore, various benefits and allowances are designed to make life easier for pensioners and improve the conditions for providing for children.

In order to formalize this, you need to collect all the necessary documents, write an application and contact the pension fund at your place of residence. Within 10 days, employees of this body make a decision, and a payment in a certain amount is assigned. You can also receive payments using the State Services Internet service. To do this, you must register and create an application. Such an appeal is considered within a month.

Latest news - who is entitled to additional payments in 2017. Women of retirement age throughout Russia are alarmed: is it really possible to get a pension supplement for two children?

Additional payment to the pension for children born during the USSR before 1990 - who is entitled to an increase?

In 2017, this bonus is on everyone’s lips, and this is due to the widely covered topic of pensions in the media. One-time payments, freezing, indexation of pensions - all this is being discussed en masse, and of course, no one will want to miss the opportunity to increase their pension. Even before studying this issue, one thing is clearly clear - the bonus is due to women who gave birth to two children before 1990. However, this is not entirely true; in any case, there are more nuances here than might seem at first glance.

• All women who took maternity leave in the USSR are entitled to an additional payment to the pension for children;
• it doesn’t matter how many children there are – two or less. The common misconception about additional payment for two children is unfounded and, most likely, has a reference to the current maternal capital;
• The bonus is given not only to women - a complete list of persons who are entitled to a recount can be found on the website of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
• We are talking about the recalculation of pensions only for pensioners who received payments before 2015.

All the above points are officially confirmed by the Pension Fund, and in order to understand why recalculation is possible only in these cases, one should study, Why did the state “suddenly” begin to pay extra for children from the USSR?

Pension recalculation in 2017 is based on periods not taken into account in the length of service– in this case, it is leave to care for a child (children). These periods are called non-insurance periods. Until 2015, periods of maternity leave were not taken into account in the length of service, but with the approval of a new system for calculating pensions, according to points, these periods began to be taken into account. That is, by application, a woman who retired before 2015 can claim her rights to these points for a year and a half (the time of maternity leave) or more, depending on the number of children.

Methods of recalculation for children born in the USSR before 1990 - how to get a recalculation?

To officially recalculate citizens’ pensions, there is only one way, and this is an application to the Pension Fund office at the place of residence. To do this, in addition to identification documents, you must provide evidence of non-insurance periods during work. This is the child’s birth certificate or his passport. Points for the period of maternity leave will be multiplied by a coefficient, according to the formula, and converted into money, which will become an increase in pension in 2017.

By the way, this opportunity could be used exactly since 2015.

The above explanations are often found in the media and raise more questions than answers. The editors of "Southern Federal" also contacted the Pension Fund of Russia branch for comment. Rostov region and this is what they answered us. Here is a comment from the press service:
“We are not talking about additional payments or supplements to pensions, but only about the possibility of recalculating pensions and only if it is profitable. If a woman is a pensioner, retired before January 1, 2015 and was on leave to care for a child/children (no matter when they were born, before 1990 or after), then she has the right to apply to the Pension Fund ( or submit an application electronically through the “Personal Account” on the Pension Fund website) for recalculation of the insurance pension taking into account the existing “non-insurance” periods (this also includes the period of child care up to 1.5 years (a total of 6 years for three children).

We present the maximum possible amounts for increasing the size of the pension, taking into account “non-insurance” periods in accordance with pension legislation.

COST OF ONE PENSION POINT
FROM APRIL 1, 2017 SET AT 78.58 RUB.

CARE FOR THE FIRST CHILD
For one year of care 1.8 points = 141.44 rubles.
For a year and a half of care 1.8 + 0.9 = 2.7 points = 212.17 rubles.

CARE FOR A SECOND CHILD
For one year of care 3.6 points = 282.89 rubles.
For a year and a half of care 3.6 + 1.8 = 5.4 points = 424.33 rubles.

CARE FOR A THIRD OR FOURTH CHILD
For one year of care 5.4 points = 424.33 rubles.
For a year and a half of care 5.4 + 2.7 = 8.1 points = 636.5 rubles.

Such amounts of increase in the pension amount are accrued if the parent did not work during the period of caring for the child for up to 1.5 years.
If the parent was in an employment relationship until the child was 1.5 years old, then the amount of the insurance pension can be recalculated and these periods of work can be replaced by the period of caring for the child/children. However, those periods of work that will be replaced by periods of child care will be excluded from the length of service. At the same time, if the size of the pension becomes smaller when replacing the working period with a non-insured one, then the recalculation to the disadvantage of the pensioner will not be made.

Please note that an application for recalculation can be submitted at any time; there are no time limits. Recalculation is made from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the application for recalculation was submitted.”
