The increase in the size of pension payments almost came to the fore in the strategy for the long-term development of the pension system. Only a small part of Russian old people live in abundance, while the majority are far from a good standard of living. Some pensioners are forced to go to work again, others are helped by older children. Due to the difficult financial situation, older people increasingly began to look for additional sources of income. But due to health reasons, many are still forced to stop their work.
At such a moment, it is important to know what you can count on and what surcharges will be paid. Recalculation of pensions for non-working pensioners is necessary, as some circumstances may affect the increase in the amount of payments.
What is recalculation?
The concept is defined by the Federal Law "On Insurance Pensions". Recalculation of pensions for non-working pensioners implies a change in the amount of payments due. This process is possible if a citizen provides a new package of documents confirming a change in life circumstances. The reason for the update may also be changes in the legislative framework.
What methods recount pension?
The procedure for recalculating pensions for non-working pensioners can be carried out in two ways:
- Directly upon personal submission of documents to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Recalculation is carried out in relation to the fixed amount. Pension with an allowance, as a rule, comes already the next month after filling out the necessary papers.
- Automatically. In this situation, both the fixed amount and the amount of the insurance pension can increase. The latter concerns working pensioners, recalculation is made in connection with contributions from their employers. But the premium to the base amount is due when Russian citizens reach the age of eighty.
Do I need to recalculate pensions for non-working pensioners? Of course, yes, if under this condition there is still one of the factors. Upon reaching eighty years, you can apply for a bonus from the same day. If the disability group has changed, then new payments will be accrued from the date of issuance of the supporting document. But if a change in life circumstances implies a decrease in the amount of payments, then the changes will take effect from the next month.
How is recalculation done when you reach eighty years of age?
How to recalculate pensions for non-working pensioners who are over eighty? In this case, everything happens automatically. The premium relates to the base amount of payments. The system independently monitors the passport data that are indicated in the payment case.
In order to become the owner of the second basic payment, you need to get the insurance amount. Applicants for double the amount can be those elderly citizens who are paid a social pension.
You can become the owner of a double fixed amount in case of loss of the breadwinner. But in this case, you need to write a waiver of benefits and go to an old-age pension. This procedure can be carried out at the Pension Fund.
How is retirement benefit recalculated?
Is it possible to recalculate a pension for a non-working pensioner if the disability group changes? Yes, based on the provision of an opinion by an appropriate specialist. The local Pension Fund will automatically recalculate based on this certificate. An increased pension is accrued from the day when new conditions for disability were established.
How to make a recalculation application?
Documents for recalculating the pension of non-working pensioners are the basis for this procedure. A statement is the main paper. Every Russian citizen who is on a well-deserved rest has the right to appeal about a change in the amount paid to him. The following reasons may serve as a reason for applying:
- change in the number of dependents in the family;
- selection of a new place of residence with special conditions (implies areas of the Far North or other similar regions);
- obtaining the right to early retirement in the presence of work experience in the Far North.
A personal presence is not necessary for applying to the Pension Fund . There are frequent cases when this is impossible due to human health. Then the representative can submit the documents. The procedure can be carried out in the management of the local Pension Fund, post office or through its own page on the organization’s website.
The application shall indicate the passport data, the reason on the basis of which the recalculation should be carried out, and the list of attached documents.
For paperwork, you will need a passport, an insurance number of an individual personal account. Any other documents may be requested only if necessary or if they are not available in the databases of state bodies.
Services review the appeal in five business days.
Will there be allowances for non-working pensioners this year?
An increase in the amount of pension payments depends on the inflation level in the state. The size of pensions is also affected by the consumer price index. So, according to all-Russian indicators, the premium will be equal to six and a half percent. The government planned this spring to increase pensions by the same percentage.
In general, positive dynamics can be noted. Last year, indexation was carried out only once, and the change was four percent. And this despite the fact that inflation rates were recorded much higher.
Recently, the government decided that an additional indexation in 2017 will be replaced by a fixed amount of five thousand rubles. This is a kind of bonus for the lack of promotion in the previous year. Recalculation of pensions for non-working pensioners in this case is not needed. No special application is also required. Compensation is mandatory, therefore, to obtain additional financial support, you do not need to contact the Pension Fund. This compensation payment should help to cover the expenses spent on rising prices due to inflation for pensioners.
What are the reasons for receiving the allowance?
In 2017, social benefits were granted only to non-working pensioners. The following factors affect the size of the payout:
- location;
- the subsistence level in the region where the applicant lives;
- current amount of pension payments.
All surcharges (depending on size) are divided into two categories:
- Federal (their characteristic feature is the mandatory implementation).
- Regional (they are paid depending on the capabilities of the local budget).
State bonuses are granted only to Russian citizens who are on a well-deserved vacation. The basis for receiving additional financial resources is the amount of payments, which should be less than the subsistence level established in a particular region.
Finally
Recalculation of pensions for non-working pensioners is carried out in the same manner as the similar procedure for any other payments. The basis for recalculation is the receipt of new documents directly from the applicant or other government agencies. The main reason for recalculation is new life circumstances.
The benefits of recalculation over indexing are obvious. Indexation is massive, recalculation is an individual procedure. The amount of the allowance will depend on the characteristics of the applicant - reaching eighty years of age, changing working capacity. But there are also mandatory procedures. The latest recalculation of pensions for non-working pensioners was made on August 1, 2016.
