Women who have one or more children (including adults born during Soviet times before the 1990s or later) and who have 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, for the corresponding periods it will be reduced seniority women, which may have a negative impact on the pensioner’s already registered pension rights).

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, Pension Fund specialists will need to raise the payment case and conduct it again extensive work By . 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 most profitable way 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 the 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 noticeable 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 of 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 , established in a fixed amount (including for living in territories 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, in each specific case the amount of the increase will be different, 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, not the least 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 it will not be economically profitable to carry out such a replacement (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 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 periods of childcare coincide with the woman's labor activity, then the 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 the necessary documents are already at the disposal of the Pension Fund employees;
• 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).

The pension provision of Muscovites who began living and working during the Soviet era is quite modest. Therefore, every possible increase in pension is relevant. And many pensioners are interested in whether there are any additional payments for children born in the Soviet Union. In this material, we will look at what supplements pensioners are entitled to for children born during Soviet times, as well as in Moscow when making payments.

Is there an allowance for children?

In general, the issue of pension provision for Russian citizens is regulated by 400-FZ, which states which periods should be considered insurance periods. However, when analyzing the norms of this Federal Law, there is no information giving special preferences to pensioners who became mothers before 1990.

And yet, there is an allowance for children. However, it does not depend on the period in which the children were born. In particular, recalculation of pensions for children of the USSR is due to certain categories of pensioners.

Based on legal norms, women who:

• have children born during the USSR, about which there is a corresponding entry in the registry office;
• can provide documentary evidence of the birth of a child - a child’s birth certificate (or a certified copy thereof), their own passport;
• retired before 01/01/2015.

However, in some cases, those pensioners who retired after January 2015 should also apply for a recalculation. In particular, this will be useful if the pension calculation made by the Pension Fund can be increased due to an increase “for children”.

Supplement amount

There is no fixed amount by which the pension will be increased - children born in the USSR will receive an additional 20 to 700 rubles. It all depends on the specific circumstances.

The fact is that, according to pension provision, periods of child care are reflected in points, the amount of which determines the size of the pension. Consequently, women who gave birth to children in the Soviet legal space may request a recalculation based on the point system. The specific number of points awarded depends only on the number of children:

• 1 child – 1.8 points;
• 2 children – 3.6 points;
• 3 children or more – 5.4 points.

Points are awarded for each year of care, but not more than 6 years.

Moscow pensioner Lydia S. gave birth to 4 children, with a total of 9 years of work completed. The woman turned to a lawyer for help with a request to clarify what kind of recalculation she could qualify for if children are currently “not taken into account” in the Pension Fund. The lawyer calculated that, based on Federal Law 400, a woman can only claim points for 6 years, but not for the entire period of incapacity.

Who benefits from recalculation?

If a pensioner has children born in the USSR, an additional payment to the pension may be beneficial. But here, as mentioned above, the specific amount depends on a huge number of parameters. Therefore, those women who:

• occupied low-paid positions - the actual size of their labor rate excludes them from receiving a decent pension;
• did not have time to start work during the USSR due to pregnancy, childbirth and subsequent child care;
• have a large number of children and therefore did not actually have time to develop experience.

Who does not benefit from recalculation for children of the USSR?

To the credit of the Pension Fund, it should be noted that specialists recalculate pension benefits only:

• according to the personal application of the pensioner;
• if the final recalculation amount turns out to be beneficial to the Muscovite.

Pensioner R. read on the Internet that she was entitled to an allowance for a child born in the USSR in the amount of 3,416 rubles. However, the PFR employees, having accepted her application, made a negative decision and refused to recalculate, since it meant that the pension provision would be less. An elderly Muscovite turned to a lawyer for help. The lawyer carefully studied the proposed documents and the extract from the Pension Fund and confirmed that the specialists did the right thing, and the recalculation would have a negative impact on the woman’s income.

Of course, there are those who, in principle, do not benefit from such an addition to their pension. Children of the USSR may reduce their income next category persons:

• mothers who did not remain on maternity leave;
• pensioners who have received the right to early retirement (health workers, teachers, other beneficiaries);
• persons who receive state pensions fixed size(“Chernobyl victims” and similar categories).

In some cases, recalculation may not be profitable even for mothers of many children who receive today and without that good pensions. For example, if, during the breaks between motherhood, a woman held leadership positions or did not use all the granted maternity leave.

What is required for recalculation

The pensioner is freed from the need to independently make calculations and decide whether to request recalculation of pension benefits or refuse it. The fact is that such a calculation can be made for him not only by a lawyer, but also by an employee of the Pension Fund.

To do this, the specialist must provide:

• personal statement of the established form;
• ID card and SNILS;
• Birth certificates of children of the USSR;
• Other documents that will confirm the periods that should be included in the length of service.

A citizen’s appeal is considered within 2 weeks. If the answer is positive, recalculation is made from the 1st day of the month following the month of application. That is, if a pensioner submits an application on December 15, then the recalculation will be made from January 1.

If a negative answer comes from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, but the pensioner does not agree with it, he has the right to file a complaint with a higher authority. For example, if you are refused by the PF client service in Moscow, you can file a complaint with the PF Office of Moscow and the Moscow Region, and appeal their decision to the PF Main Directorate of Moscow and the Moscow Region. The law also allows the dispute to be taken to court.

Are you paid a low pension? Children of the USSR are not included in the work experience? Consult a site lawyer for free. This is easy to do both by phone and online.

Pensioners in Russia usually receive little, and often they have to not only live on pension payments, but also support disabled family members who cannot provide for themselves without the help of their relatives. In such cases, the state assigns a supplement to the pension for the maintenance of children. The surcharge can be established by both the Pension Fund and the local Social Security. Moreover, the bonus is established for payments not only for age, but also for disability and length of service.

However, additional payment may be assigned in another case. A person has the right to apply for it if he became a pensioner before 2015 and when calculating his pension, periods of leave to care for children were not taken into account separately.

Both types of pension supplements are not carried out automatically. To receive them, you must submit an application supported by a package of official papers proving your right to receive government support. Let's look at each type of allowance and how to apply for them, and also tell you who can apply for them and when.

Increase due to maternity leave

Previously, length of service was established solely on the basis of entries made in the work book. And since maternity leave was not included there, it was not separated from the regular working period. Since 2015, when calculating pensions for working people, maternity leave can be included in both the insurance and non-insurance periods (according to Article 12). This is done automatically depending on which option will be more profitable for the pension recipient.

If people who have retired since 2015 do not need to apply for recalculation due to maternity leave, then those who became pensioners before this period must contact the Pension Fund on their own.

Not for everyone, recalculation will mean an increase in pension salary. It is disadvantageous for the following persons:

• gave birth to one child;
• with long term labor;
• with high wages(at least 20% higher than the national average);
• with an assigned early pension (since when recalculating, the length of service may be reduced during parental leave, and the holder of an early pension may lose his right to it).

Recipients of social benefits and survivors' pensions are not entitled to the supplement at all.

The recalculation will be useful for the following persons:

• parent of two or more children;
• a person with little experience;
• a citizen whose salary was low;
• someone who was not employed during maternity leave;
• a pensioner whose old-age payments are below the level living wage, established in the region of residence, or equal to it.

There is one important limitation to keep in mind. It concerns total term, during which a person cared for children up to one and a half years old. The largest number of pension points will be given over a six-year period, but no more. That is, no matter how many children there are in a family, their parent will receive points for a maximum of four.

Considering that in 2020 the cost of a pension point was 81.49 rubles, it is easy to calculate how much will be added to the pension after its recalculation:

• 1.8 IPC, or 146.68 rubles - for a parent of one child;
• 3.6 points, or 293.36 rubles - for a person who raised two children;
• 5.4 points, or 440.04 rubles - for a citizen with many children for the third and fourth children.

Supplements are also awarded for children with disabilities. For caring for a child who is recognized as disabled, 1.8 IPC is charged.

Additional payment for dependents

Supplements to the pension for children are due to people receiving insurance payments for length of service, disability or age, if their amount is below the subsistence level. The Law on Pension Payments No. 400-FZ lists dependents for whose maintenance an additional payment is due. In addition to their own children, the list includes sisters and brothers, as well as grandchildren, provided that their parents have died or been declared disabled. The bonus is carried out by adding a certain amount to the fixed payment, which is issued with the pension salary.

According to Article 17 of Law No. 400-FZ, for people who are the sole breadwinners of disabled children, the fixed payment increases by a third for each child. In this case, they pay extra for a maximum of three people.

The fixed payment increases annually due to indexation. In 2020, its amount was 4,982 rubles 90 kopecks, and the allowance for disabled children increased to the following values:

• 1,660.97 rubles - to the breadwinner of one child;
• 3,321.93 rubles - for those who provide for two children;
• 4,982.90 rubles - the breadwinner of three or more children.

If a woman with twenty years of experience and a man with twenty-five years of experience have worked in the Far North for at least 15 years, the additional payment for disabled dependents increases by 50%. If a woman and a man with the same experience worked for twenty years in areas that are considered the Far North, they are entitled to a 30% increase. The supplement is provided not only to workers in the Far North and similar areas, but also to residents of these places. Their payment increases by the regional coefficient.

Application Form

An application for recalculation of the pension salary is filled out on a special form according to the sample that can be found on the State Services website. This form is suitable both for those who want to receive additional IPC for the period of caring for a child up to one and a half years old, and for those who provide for dependents.

The statement consists of eight points. Let's look at each of them:

1. 1. Personal data. The applicant needs to indicate his full name, citizenship, SNILS number, address, passport and contact information.

1. 1. Representative details. If an application with papers is submitted through a representative, you must also fill out his passport and contact information and enter the number and series of the power of attorney, indicate who issued it and for what period.

1. 1. Warnings This paragraph must be read carefully, as it contains information about the need to promptly notify the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation about a change in place of residence, as well as circumstances affecting the amount of pension payments.

1. 1. Attached documents. All official documents that are submitted along with the application are listed here.

1. 1. Informing. The pensioner, if desired, can mark the method of receiving notifications from the Pension Fund (by email or phone number).

1. Confirmation of the accuracy of the information provided. You must write the date the application was completed and sign with a transcript.

What documents will be needed?

To receive monthly additional payments for dependents, the application must be supplemented with the following documents:

• the applicant's passport;
• birth certificates of children or their passports;
• papers that can confirm the presence family relations between the applicant and a dependent (children’s birth certificate, marriage certificate with a change of surname, certificate from the registry office about the presence of kinship, etc.);
• certificate of cohabitation a pensioner with a dependent;
• papers confirming the pensioner's expenses for the child (if the dependent has reached the age of majority).

For recalculation in connection with maternity leave to care for a child, a package of the following documents is attached to the application:

• passport;
• birth certificates of children (if there are minor children);
• passports of adult children;
• SNILS;
• official papers proving that the second parent did not apply for additional payment.

The application is reviewed by Pension Fund employees, and if their decision is positive, the additional payment will be made from the first day of the month following the month in which the documents were submitted. If the decision is negative, the applicant will receive a written notification. If you disagree with the decision, you can appeal it in court.

If a pensioner supports a student

Additional payment is prescribed not only for minor child, but also for students under 23 years of age if they are studying full-time. It does not matter whether the child studies on a budget or on a commercial basis, in a private or public, Russian or foreign educational institution. For a child studying part-time, additional payment is due only until he reaches adulthood. When he turns 18, the bonus automatically stops.

When transferring a student child from full-time to part-time education, it is necessary to notify Pension Fund employees within five days. This is done so that additional payments stop on time. Otherwise, the pensioner will have to return the illegally received money. Recovery is made by deducting the overpaid amount from the pension salary.

Additional payments to the pension will continue to be accrued when the student takes an academic leave. However, this does not apply to a student who has suspended the educational process in connection with conscription Russian army.

To receive an increase for an adult child student, you must additionally bring to the Pension Fund a certificate from an educational institution confirming full-time study. The certificate must contain:

• personal data of the student (his full name and date of birth);
• the name of the institution;
• form of training;
• number of the enrollment order and its date;
• period of study.

It is also necessary to have the seal and signature of the head of the institution. After submitting all papers, a decision is made regarding the calculation of the premium. If it is positive, increased pension are paid throughout the student's education. In this case, you will not need to somehow confirm the additional payment.

Supplement for military pensioners

Military retirees are also entitled to some additional payments for the maintenance of dependents, which is regulated on February 12, 1993. According to Article 17, the bonus is given only to those who left work and switched to pension benefits.

The military includes not only representatives of the Russian army, but also the following persons:

• employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• serving troops of the National Guard of Russia;
• employees of drug and psychotropic substances control agencies;
• employees of the State Fire Safety;
• employees of institutions for the execution of criminal punishments (including pre-trial detention centers and enterprises created specifically to support the activities of the penal system).

An important condition for assigning a supplement is the fact that dependents have not received insurance or social pension.

All of the above persons have the right to take early leave from work, receiving a salary for their length of service. It is to this that a certain amount is added for dependents.

According to Article 24 of Law No. 4468-1, supplements for children are also applied to the pension of disabled military personnel. The amount of the bonus depends on the size of pension payments:

• 32% - breadwinner of one child;
• 64% - to those who support two disabled family members;
• 100% - providing for three or more dependents.

Regional increases

Social supplements to pension salaries are regulated by and. According to its first article, the increase can be of two types: federal or regional. Federal allowances are established by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, regional ones - by the departments of Social Protection of the Population. The federal supplement is given to those pensioners whose total income is below the subsistence level adopted in the region where they live (provided that this value is lower than the subsistence level in general). Russian Federation). Regional bonuses are assigned to pensioners in those regions where the cost of living is higher than in the Russian Federation as a whole. This is done on the condition that the person’s pension does not reach this increased amount. In fact, the increased size of the fixed payment is intended to increase the pension salary to the level of the subsistence level.

In 2020, the cost of living for a pensioner in the country was 8,506 rubles. The lowest figures were in the Ulyanovsk region (7,474 rubles), the highest in the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (19,000 rubles).

In some cases, the additional payment is stopped:

• if the pensioner himself submitted an application with a waiver of the supplement;
• when a pensioner moves to another region;
• when circumstances change that influence the assignment of an additional amount;
• when a pensioner gets a job;
• with the death of a pensioner.

To receive a regional supplement, you must submit an application to Social Security or the MFC. The following documents are attached to the application:

• passport (for Russians);
• Residence permit (for foreigners);
• birth certificates of all children for whom additional payment is due;
• work book confirming the fact of termination of employment;
• certificate of marriage or divorce;
• certificate of change of full name (if these data change);
• papers proving the identity of the representative, as well as a power of attorney certified by a notary (if the application is submitted through third parties).

Conclusion

Pension supplements are assigned in two cases:

1. if desired, recalculate the amount of pension salary in connection with previously unaccounted for periods of leave to care for children up to one and a half years;
2. in the presence of disabled dependents.

In the first case, only recipients of old-age insurance payments can apply for an increase, and only those who switched to pension coverage in 2015. Pensioners can receive additional payment for dependents not only by age, but also by disability or length of service.

Additional payment for child support can be paid from both the federal and regional budgets. However, it is only due to those whose pension does not reach the minimum subsistence level established either by the country or in the region of residence of the pensioner.

Welcome to website. In this article we will talk about additional payments to pensions for children. In July 2017 Pension Fund in the regions began to provide explanations for changes in the law, which brought a lot of talk regarding whether there would be an addition to the pension for children.

Many people thought that if a woman is retired, then she has the right to come with an application to the territorial department of the pension fund and receive an addition to her pension if the children were born before 1990. And the size of such an allowance could exceed several hundred rubles for each child.

Most of the women who applied independently to the pension fund actually received this bonus, which caused a lot of conversation among other mothers of pensioners. As a result, long queues began to form at pension funds, and employees had to give public and detailed explanations to pensioners.

It is worth knowing that now we are not talking about independent payment. Additional payment to the pension for children is made using recalculation. In accordance with changes in the law in 2015 labor pension began to pay according to new rules, as when reaching retirement age, and on disability. And now the size of the pension is influenced not only by periods of work, but also by non-insurance periods, that is, caring for a child until he reaches the age of 1.5 years.

In relation to this allowance there are several important points things you need to know:

1. Those pensioners who began receiving pensions after the beginning of 2015 do not need to apply for recalculation, since the advantageous accrual option is done automatically. Recalculation is carried out only if, when assigning a woman’s pension, periods considered non-insurance were not taken into account, or they were taken into account according to the old rules, for which points are now accrued.
2. The time limit for writing an application is not limited, that is, a woman can come with an application to the pension fund at any time; documents are submitted not only in person, but also with the help of multifunctional centers (MFC) or when submitting documents through the government services portal (gosuslugi.ru ).
3. The bonus that will be after recalculation is individual, and it is not guaranteed to all pensioners, since replacing the length of service with non-insurance periods is not always profitable. According to statistics, only 30% of women who apply receive an increase in pension, and the amount of the increase can be from several hundred rubles to several thousand.
4. If during the recalculation the pension amount is reduced, then in fact this will not happen, since PF employees will simply refuse the recalculation.

Which pensioner will receive a pension supplement for children?

It is worth knowing that the year of birth of children does not play a special role in this case, that is, they can be born before 1990, and at any time after this date.

The opinion that an increase in pensions for children is given only at their birth before 1990 was created by the fact that when changes were introduced in 2015, a serious increase was given to those pensioners who not only have adult children, but also the so-called “Soviet” experience. It does not particularly affect the size of the pension, but it provides the most favorable conditions for converting this length of service into pension points.

This recalculation is carried out for these pensioners first. As a rule, such mothers reached retirement age and retired before 2015, and they already have an honorable age, that is, more than 70 years.

But this does not mean that if a woman had children after the collapse of the USSR, then she loses the right to recalculation. Most often, such a recalculation becomes simply unprofitable for a pensioner for other reasons. That is, if a woman’s experience began to form according to new Russian laws, after the collapse of the USSR.

It is worth knowing that those periods during which a woman cared for children do not automatically increase the size of the pension. Since those working periods that were taken into account make the greatest contribution to the amount of the pension than replacing them with a 1.5 year non-insurance period. At the moment, there are many options when replacing the length of service with a non-insurance period is beneficial or, on the contrary, unprofitable.

Options when replacing length of service with a non-insurance period is beneficial:

• If a woman has two children whom she cared for until they were 1.5 years old.
• When several children are born at the same time. For example, twins or triplets.
• If at the time of caring for children the woman was not in an employment relationship or was studying.
• If retirement occurred with a minimum length of service.
• If the minimum wage was taken into account when calculating the mother’s pension, that is, lower than in the country.
• If, taking into account all the circumstances, the accrued pension is below the subsistence level, then there is a minimum pension.

Options when replacing length of service with non-insurance periods is unprofitable:

• If a pensioner has only one child.
• If a woman has a long work history, which also involves caring for children.
• If high wages were taken into account when calculating the pension. But wages, which exceeded 20% in the country until 2002, were not taken into account in the calculation, in other words, the income ratio for that period did not exceed 1.2, but this was enough so that recalculation for children did not provide additional payments to pension payments.

The law does not specify exactly who is entitled to an additional payment to the pension for children. As a result, it turns out that pension recalculation can be done for those women who have two or more children, and also for calculating the pension, the minimum length of service and low wages are taken into account.

Recalculation is not made to those women whose pension was assigned on preferential terms. These women include recipients of early pensions who have not reached retirement age. In this case, when replacing the length of service with a non-insurance period, the woman may lose the right to receive an early pension.

Calculation of points given for each child

In accordance with changes in pension legislation, the main indicator that affects the size of the pension is pension points. They are recorded in the personal account of each pensioner in the pension fund. Such points are reflected not in rubles, as was previously the case, but in relative units, that is, the amount of pension rights to receive a labor pension.

Pension points are generated on a personal account in two ways:

1. With the help of insurance premiums paid by the employer. In 2020, the employer pays 22% of the employee’s total salary, 6% of this amount is allocated to the formation of a fixed fee, and 16% goes to a personal account in the form of pension points.
2. When taking into account non-insurance periods, that is, if the pensioner does not work and insurance premiums are not deducted for him, then the state is responsible for the formation of the pension. These periods also include conscript military service for men, and caring for children under 1.5 years of age.

It is worth knowing that today parental leave is 3 years, but during the non-insurance period, which is taken into account, only half of this leave is spent. It is during this same period that a woman receives benefits for up to 1.5 years. Although this is unfair, due to the fact that children go to kindergarten when they reach the age of three, the woman is not able to go to work earlier and begin to provide for herself and the child.

At the time the pension is assigned, all points that are on the personal account and those that were accrued for non-insurance periods are multiplied by the legally established amount. In 2020, one point costs 93 rubles.

In accordance with the new law, the pension takes into account not only working periods, but also those when the woman was on maternity leave, but not more than 6 years in total. In other words, only 4 children are counted towards the pension. But it is worth knowing that the amount of points that will be awarded at the time of maternity leave will be different, depending on the order and year of birth of the child.

For one point in 2020 you get 93 rubles.

• For care for one child with 1 year of care they give 1.8 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 2.7 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 235 rubles.
• For caring for a second child with 1 year of care they give 3.6 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 5.4 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 471 rubles.
• When caring for a third child, with 1 year of care they give 5.4 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 8.1 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 706 rubles.
• When caring for a fourth child, with 1 year of care they give 5.4 points, and with 1.5 years of care - 8.1 points. Accordingly, the maximum possible additional payment will be 706 rubles.

It is worth knowing that the maximum increase will be given only to those pensioners who were not in an employment relationship at the time of maternity leave, and this period was not taken into account when assigning pension payment previously.

Also, the maximum that was granted may be reduced in the following cases:

• Exclusion from the calculation of non-insurance periods that were taken into account according to the old rules, since when the pension for children is recalculated, the length of service is replaced by a non-insurance period. That is, the salary that was taken into account when assigning a pension is replaced by points, and such a replacement is not always profitable.
• A general reduction in working periods for a pensioner when a replacement is made.

It is worth remembering that an accurate recalculation of women’s pensions for children can only be made by a pension fund employee. It is carried out only on an individual basis, and the size of the increase with the same number of children will be different for all pensioners, since the formation of pension rights also occurs individually.

If at the time of recalculation the result becomes negative, then carrying out this recalculation becomes unprofitable and PF employees will refuse the pensioner, since the amount of the pension will be reduced.

Example of surcharge calculation

The woman began receiving old-age pension payments in 2012. As of January 1, 2002, when the formation of a pension in the country began through the payment of insurance contributions, its total work experience was 26 years, and the ratio of maximum earnings was 1.2.

A woman came to the pension fund to recalculate the pension for children born before 1990 during her work in 1979 and 1988. At the time of replacing the already recorded periods of work with two non-insurance periods, that is, caring for children until they reach 1.5 years, 3 years were removed from the total work experience.

As a result, there was a decrease in the length of service coefficient and the amount of valorization, that is, the revaluation of pension rights for the period before 1991. And the points that were awarded to her instead of this period were: 1.5 years * (1.8 + 3.6) = 8.1 points, in other words 660.07 rubles.

Since the recalculation led to a decrease in the size of the pension she received, the PF fund employees refused, and the increase in pension for 2 children was not awarded. And a woman who raised 3 children in the same situation may receive an increase of 150 rubles.

Registration of an increase in pension for children

A pensioner has the right to submit an application and all the necessary documents, on the basis of which an increase in the pension for children will be made, at any time convenient for her; the deadline for applying in this case is not limited.

If the decision made, after reviewing the documents, is positive, that is, as a result of recalculation, the pension amount will be increased, then the payment of the pension, taking into account the bonus, will be made from the first day of the next month. But additional payments to the pension for children for past periods, that is, those that were missed after the changes in the law came into force on January 1, 2015, will not be paid.

Submitting documents and applications can be done in one of several convenient ways:

• By personal contact to the territorial department of the pension fund. But due to the fact that there may be a large queue of visitors to see specialists, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance. An entry is made on the official portal of the pension fund; registration is not required for this.
• By submitting documents through multifunctional centers, that is, MFC. This service for accepting documents and applications for pension recalculation can be provided at the territorial office of the MFC. This requires working interdepartmental interaction between the pension fund and the multifunctional center itself. Today, this service is provided at MFCs in all major cities of the country.
• Using the Internet and the state service portal (gosuslugi.ru). In this case, the application and all necessary documents are submitted via the Internet in electronic form on the official portal of public services. But to submit documents, you must have a confirmed account in the unified identification and authentication system, in other words, the Unified Identification and Authentication System. After submitting an electronic application through the state portal, the pensioner is obliged to bring, within 5 working days, to the branch of the pension fund to which the application was submitted, all the documents necessary for recalculation. If the documents are not provided within this time, the application will not be considered and will need to be submitted again.
• Registered letter via Russian Post. When using this method, the pensioner will have to independently fill out an application for recalculation, which is provided in the form approved by law. A sample of filling out this application is located on the official portal of the pension fund. But all original documents on the basis of which recalculation and additional payment of pensions for children will be made to pensioners are not sent by registered mail. You must send pre-made photocopies of all documents and have them certified by a notary. It is worth knowing that certification of documents by a notary is a paid service.

Documents that will be needed to complete the surcharge

Pensions for children born before 1990 and after this date will be recalculated only for those pensioners who cared for children before they reached the age of 1.5 years and retired before 2015. Recipients of insurance pensions and disability pensions have the right to apply for recalculation.

The recalculation takes place directly on the basis of an application written by the pensioner, which is submitted to the territorial branch of the pension fund, which makes the payment of pension accruals. Since it is in this pension fund that the pensioner’s pension file is located, on the basis of which the pension itself will be recalculated and an additional payment will be calculated for born children.

Since there is a regular declarative recalculation of pension payments, you need to write a regular standard statement, which is approved at the legislative level, in particular by Order of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 19, 2016 No. 14n. this statement is indicated in the second appendix to the administrative regulations on the provision of public services when assigning a pension.

In addition to the completed application, you must attach documents that are in the personal custody of the pensioner, these are:

• A pensioner's identification document is usually a passport.
• Certificate of compulsory pension insurance, in other words SNILS.

In accordance with the Law “On Insurance Pensions”, Article 23, paragraph 2, an application for recalculation of pension payments is accepted directly, subject to the provision by the pensioner of all documents required for its implementation.

To begin with, confirmation of the presence of non-insurance periods for a given pensioner occurs on the basis of those documents that are stored in the pension file, stored in the department of the pension fund, as well as on the basis of the personalized accounting information that is at the disposal of the pension fund employees at that time.

But if the information about non-insurance periods, that is, maternity leave until the child reaches 1.5 years of age, is incomplete or absent altogether, then in order to recalculate it, the pensioner needs to confirm it independently by providing an additional package of documents for this:

• Birth certificates for each child who was cared for; if they are missing, you can order a birth certificate for children at the registry office.
• Documents that will confirm that the children are one and a half years old. Such a document can be any document that was issued to the child by government authorities at a later age, that is, you can provide the child’s passport, school completion certificate, diploma from a higher educational institution, military ID or any other document.

If a pensioner submits a birth certificate for children, and it contains a stamp indicating that the child received a Russian passport after he or she reached the age of 14, then there will be no need to provide another supporting document, since this stamp will be sufficient for the pension fund employees. And on the basis of these documents, a recalculation will be made and, if the decision is positive, an increase in the pension for children will be assigned to pensioners.

1. Who is entitled to a pension supplement for three children born before 1990?

1.1. First, let's talk about who is entitled to this increase. According to the new decree of the Government of the Russian Federation, pensions will be recalculated for women for children born before 1990. This applies to all representatives of the fairer sex who retired before 2015. The thing is that those who retired later were immediately offered the most suitable payment option for them.

If you have only one child, then there is simply no point in indexing. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation noted that such women, after recalculation, will only receive an even smaller pension. This option does not suit them. There is also no point in applying to the Pension Office now for those who had a good salary and are now receiving a pension. The option “for children” will be unprofitable for them.

So, the bonus will be calculated based on points. 1 point this year is equal to 78 rubles. Below is a table of points that can be obtained for children born before 1990:
1 child - 1.8 b.,
2 children - 3.6 b.,
3 or more children - 5.6 points.

1.2. Hello, unfortunately, there are no pension supplements for children. We are talking about recalculation for the period when you cared for children. Contact the pension fund at your place of registration.
Good luck and all the best

1.3. There are no allowances for children.
It is possible to recalculate pensions at the request of pensioners who retired before 2015, if when calculating the pension, periods of child care up to one and a half years were not taken into account.
And recalculation does not always entail an increase in pension - unless there are more than two children and the pension is less than 10 thousand.

2. Pension supplement for three adult children.

2.1. In this case, the pensioner needs to contact the territorial branch of the pension fund with an application for recalculation of the pension, but this needs to be done only if during the initial calculation of the pension, periods of leave to care for children who were born before the age of 90 were not taken into account in the length of service. Therefore, the Pension Fund will tell you whether it makes sense for you to recalculate or not.

3. How can a pensioner mother receive a pension supplement for three children?

3.1. --- Hello, there are no additional payments or supplements to the pension, only for women to care for children, and only for those who do not have parental leave included in their pension calculation. And almost everyone has it included. Why were children’s birth certificates provided to the pension fund? Find out from the pension fund.
Good luck to you and all the best, with respect, lawyer Ligostaeva A.V.

3.2. Hello. Contact PF. According to federal law“On insurance pensions”, when calculating the amount of the pension, points for non-insurance periods may be taken into account. You can receive a pension calculated taking into account pension coefficients for periods of child care if this has not been done previously.

4. What is the pension supplement for three children, one minor?

4.1. For a minor child, an additional pension is paid in the amount of 1,601.70 rubles. There are no allowances for adult children. It is possible to recalculate your pension if you received it before 2015 and had a coefficient when assigning a pension of less than 1.2.

4.2. There is no supplement for adult children.
It is possible to recalculate pensions at the request of pensioners who retired before 2015, and for whom periods of parental leave of up to one and a half years were not taken into account when calculating their pensions.
However, recalculation does not always lead to an increase in pension. This makes sense if there are more than two children and the pension is less than 10 thousand rubles.

4.3. Hello! There are no allowances for adult children. If, when assigning a pension, child care was not taken into account, then you can contact the Pension Fund division for recalculation of the pension with the children’s birth certificates (if they were not previously provided).

5. Pension supplement for three children.

5.1. Good day
No, no bonuses are established by law for children born before 1990.
Only for minor children or if the period of child care was not included in the length of service

5.2. Hello,
There are no pension supplements for children unless your children are your minor dependents
I wish you good luck and all the best!

5.3. Good afternoon. Additional payment is made only for dependents, i.e. minor children and other disabled persons supported by a pensioner. A recalculation is also made for those who have not received points for periods of caring for children before they reach the age of one and a half years. Contact your pension fund.

5.4. This is not an increase, but a recalculation of the pension. It is not at all necessary that as a result of recalculation you will receive more. It all depends on each specific case.

6. Mom is 60 years old and has three adult children, is she entitled to a pension supplement for children?

6.1. There are allowances for minor children. The recalculation of the pension is due to the third child, because care leave of up to 1.5 years was not taken into account when assigning the pension.

6.2. Good afternoon Contact the Pension Fund in writing for clarification; you can receive a written response through their website. There is no established application form. It is written in free form, outlining and explaining the circumstances of the case. From whom, your address and telephone number, to whom (full name or name of organization, position), what, where, when, what you are asking for or what you want to know... Date, signature.

6.3. If you retired before 2015, and when calculating your pension, periods of childcare up to one and a half years were not taken into account, you have the right to apply to the Pension Fund for recalculation of your pension. The bonus is no more than 200 rubles, but if the pension amount is more than 10 thousand, it is possible that it may even decrease.

6.4. Good evening, if the years of childcare were not included in your work experience, apply for recalculation to the Pension Fund. Good luck and success to you!

6.5. Good day. You have the right to apply to the pension fund for recalculation of your pension if, when assigning a pension to your mother, parental leave was not taken into account in the length of service for assigning a pension.

7. I am 79 years old. I have three children. Am I entitled to a pension supplement for children?

7.1. Good afternoon, the supplement to the fixed part of the pension is established only for minor children or full-time university students up to the age of 23.

7.2. Good day. Unfortunately, if your children are already adults and are not studying full-time, then there is no allowance. All the best.

8. I have been retired since September 2011. My three children were born in 1980, 1982 and 1987. Am I entitled to a pension supplement? Is it worth applying for a pension recalculation?

8.1. Hello.

You have the right to submit an application to the Pension Fund.

9. My husband is a pensioner of the UIS. He wants to get a job, will he be given a pension supplement for his daily income? We have three small children.

Law of the Russian Federation dated February 12, 1993 N 4468-1 (as amended on December 20, 2017) “On pension provision persons who passed military service, service in the internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, drug control agencies and...
Article 17. Supplements to pensions for length of service

To the long service pension assigned to persons specified in Article 1 of this Law (including calculated in minimum size), the following allowances are awarded:

B) non-working pensioners , who are dependent on disabled family members specified in paragraphs “a”, “b” and “d” of part three of Article 29, Articles 31, 33 and 34 of this Law:
if there is one such family member - in the amount of 32 percent of the calculated pension amount specified in part one of Article 46 of this Law;
if there are two such family members - in the amount of 64 percent of the calculated pension amount specified in part one of Article 46 of this Law;
if there are three or more such family members - in the amount of 100 percent of the calculated pension amount specified in part one of Article 46 of this Law.
The specified supplement is accrued only to those family members who do not receive an insurance or social pension;

10. I have three children - 1989,1991,1994. I retired in 2014. Am I entitled to a pension supplement for three children?

10.1. Recalculation is not always profitable. In what cases can recalculation be beneficial?
If a woman gave birth to 2 or more children and cared for them until they were 1.5 years old
If there were several children in one pregnancy (for example, twins or triplets were born)
If during the period of childcare the mother was not employed (for example, she was studying or simply was not in an official labor relationship)
If she retired with minimal work experience
If the mother’s pension was set based on low earnings (below the national average)
If, taking into account all the circumstances presented above, a woman’s pension is paid in an amount close to the subsistence minimum (now this is the minimum pension)
If the pensioner has an only child
If she has a long work history, including giving birth to children
If the pension was initially calculated from a high salary (however, a salary exceeding the national average by 20% was not taken into account when assigning a pension until 2002 - i.e. the earnings ratio for this period in most cases does not exceed 1.2, but this is usually sufficient so that recalculation of the pension for children based on “non-insurance” points does not give any gain in comparison with the previously assigned option)
Thus, first of all, pensioners with 2 or more children who had low earnings and (or) low work experience can count on receiving a bonus for children as a result of recalculation of pensions.

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

11. Is my mother entitled to a pension supplement for giving birth and raising three children, given that all three were born in the USSR?

11.1. Good day! Alas, you are only entitled to indexation of your pension. Pensions are indexed annually from 01.04. taking into account the growth rate of the living wage of a pensioner in the Russian Federation for last year. The indexation coefficient of pensions is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

11.2. Hello.
The surcharge is insignificant. For one child 1.8 points, for 2 children - 3.6 points, for 3 children or more - 5.4 points.
1 pension point is equal to 78.56 rubles.

11.3. Good day to you. In this case, you are only entitled to pension indexation
. I wish you good luck in resolving your issue.

11.4. If you have three children, you have the right to apply to the Pension Fund to recalculate your pension. For the third child, parental leave for up to one and a half years may not have been included in the pension calculation.

11.5. Good day!
Unfortunately, in the situation under consideration, nothing except indexation of the pension is required. Unless you included periods of parental leave, recalculation is possible
All the best, I wish you good luck!

12. My wife has a pension of 7700 + additional payment up to the subsistence level in the Samara region. 15 years of work experience. Three adult children. Is it possible to receive some kind of pension supplement for children?

If you provided information about your children (birth certificates) at the same time as submitting an application for a pension, you must pay extra for the entire period from the date the pension was assigned.

14. My mother is a pensioner, she is 75 years old, she is entitled to an additional pension for our children, there are three of us in the family.
