A number of events and changes will occur in the Russian pension system in 2016 that will affect all participants in the compulsory pension insurance system: both current and future pensioners, as well as Russian employers.
Increasing pensions and social benefits.
Will be indexed in 2016 insurance pensions and state pensions. An important innovation is that from 2016, insurance pensions will be indexed only for non-working pensioners. Their insurance pensions, as well as the fixed payment to it, will be increased by 4% from February 1, 2016.
The size of the fixed payment after indexation will be 4,558.93 rubles per month, the cost of the pension point will be 74.27 rubles (in 2015 - 71.41 rubles). The average old-age insurance pension, taking into account the fixed payment in 2016, will be 20,126.15 rubles. State pension pensions, including social ones, will be increased by 4% from April 1, 2016 for all pensioners, regardless of the fact of work. As a result, in 2016 the average size social pension will be 11,713.19 rubles. In February 2016, the size of the monthly cash payment (MCB), the largest social payment provided by the Pension Fund, will be increased by 7%. Simultaneously with the indexation of the EDV, the cost of the set of social services that federal beneficiaries can receive both in kind and in cash equivalent will increase. At the same time, as before, in 2016 in Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug- Ugra will not have pensioners whose monthly income is below the pensioner’s subsistence level. The cost of living for a pensioner in Ugra is higher than in the whole country. Russian Federation Therefore, non-working pensioners whose financial support amount is below 10,732 rubles are entitled to a regional social supplement from January 1, 2016.
Assignment of pensions.
According to pension formula, which has been operating in Russia since 2015, to obtain the right to an insurance pension in 2016, you must have at least 7 years of experience and 9 pension points. The maximum number of pension points that can be obtained in 2016 is 7.83. The expected pension payment period when calculating the funded pension in 2016 is 234 months. Every citizen can apply for any type of pension without leaving home by submitting an application through the Personal Account of the insured person on the PFR website page in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Ugra - website. Payment of insurance pensions to working pensioners Since 2016, working pensioners will receive an insurance pension and a fixed payment to it without taking into account planned indexations. This provision of the law applies only to recipients of insurance pensions and does not apply to recipients of state pensions, including social pensions. Indexation of insurance pensions in February 2016 will apply only to pensioners who have not carried out labor activity as of September 30, 2015. If a pensioner belongs to the category of the self-employed population, he will be considered working if he was registered with the Pension Fund as an insurer as of December 31, 2015. If a pensioner stopped working in the period from October 1, 2015 to March 31, 2016, he can notify the Pension Fund about this. You can submit an application to the Pension Fund until May 31, 2016. After reviewing the application, the pensioner next month payment of the insurance pension will begin, taking into account indexation. If the pensioner then gets a job again, the size of his insurance pension will not be reduced. Upon termination of work after March 31, 2016, there is no need to submit an application to the Pension Fund. The fact is that from the second quarter of 2016, monthly simplified reporting will be introduced for employers, and the fact of a pensioner’s work will be determined automatically by the Pension Fund. For pensioners who worked in 2015, in August 2016, as usual, their insurance pensions will be increased (non-declaration recalculation) based on the pension points accrued for 2015, but in monetary terms no more than three pension points.
Moratorium on formation pension savings.
It was decided to legislatively extend the moratorium on the formation of pension savings until 2016. This is not a “freezing of pensions” and certainly not a “withdrawal of pension savings”. The moratorium on the formation of pension savings means that the 6% that could go to funded pension, will be used to form an insurance pension. So in any case everything insurance premiums, paid by the employer for the citizen, will participate in the formation of the pension. At the same time, the indexation of insurance pensions in recent years is higher than the average return on investment of pension savings.
Maternity capital.
Program maternity capital extended for two years. Now, to obtain the right to maternity capital, it is necessary that the child who gives the right to the certificate be born or adopted before December 31, 2018. At the same time, as before, the receipt of the certificate and the disposal of its funds are not limited by time. In 2016, the Pension Fund continues to accept applications from certificate holders for a one-time payment of 20,000 rubles. Families living in the Russian Federation who have received or will receive the right to a maternity certificate as of December 31, 2015 and have not used the entire amount of maternity capital can submit an application. To get lump sum payment The application to the Pension Fund must be submitted no later than March 31, 2016. Families can use the money received for everyday needs. In 2016, the amount of maternity capital remains at the level of 2015 - 453,026 rubles.
Insurance premiums and reporting.
The insurance premium rate for compulsory pension insurance in 2016 remains at 22%. The maximum wage fund, from which insurance contributions to the compulsory pension insurance system are paid, was indexed in 2016 and amounts to 796 thousand rubles (plus 10% above this amount). At the same time, the additional tariff of insurance premiums for employers with jobs in hazardous and hazardous industries (if the employer does not conduct a special assessment of working conditions) in 2016 is still 9% for List No. 1, 9% for List No. 2 and “small lists" - 6%. If the employer has conducted a special assessment of working conditions, based on its results, the class of working conditions in the workplace and the amount of additional insurance premium rates are established. As in 2015, if the number of employees exceeds 25 people, reporting must be submitted electronically with an electronic digital signature. The last dates for submitting reports to in paper form in 2016 are February 15, May 16, August 15, November 15, and when submitting reports electronically - February 20, May 20, August 22, November 21. It is planned that from the second quarter of 2016, additional monthly simplified reporting will be introduced for employers. Its purpose is to determine whether the pensioner is working. This information will save the pensioner from going to the Pension Fund and filing an application for the resumption of indexation of the insurance pension. The Pension Fund will inform employers in more detail about the specifics of submitting this reporting in the first quarter of 2016. The minimum wage in 2016 is 6,204 rubles. As a result, for the self-employed population who do not make payments to individuals, the fixed payment is 19,356.48 plus 1% of the amount over 300 thousand rubles, but not more than 154,851.84 rubles. In addition, since January 2016, the budget classification codes (BCC) have changed for the payment of insurance premiums by payers from among the self-employed population, for penalties and interest - for all categories of payers. You can learn more about all the changes regarding the payment of insurance premiums and reporting on the PFR website page for the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Region - Ugra in the “Insurers” section.
Description of the "northern" pension
Citizens of the Far North and regions equivalent to it have a grace period available for retirement. At the same time, the basic part of the insurance pension increases. Citizens with northern experience enjoy the same rights, regardless of their place of residence at the time of retirement.
A year of experience in places equated to the Far North corresponds to 9 months of work directly in the North. After 6 years and 7 months of work in the North, each subsequent working year brings the retirement date closer by 4 months. The law defines northern experience as at least 15 years. For men it is 5 years more than for women.
Let us recall that from January 1, 2015, the old-age labor pension was transformed into an old-age insurance pension, and the fixed basic amount was transformed into a fixed payment to the insurance pension. In this case, the order early appointment The insurance pension and increase in fixed payments for northerners do not change. All the conditions and examples listed below also apply to the fixed basic amount of the labor pension valid before January 1, 2015 and after January 1, 2015.
Northern pension experience and retirement age.
Woman - 50 years old Far North - 15 calendar years of experience or equivalent areas - 20 calendar years of experience. Insurance experience - 20 years. Woman - 50 years old Two or more children, Far North - 12 calendar years of experience or equivalent areas - 17 calendar years of experience. Insurance experience - 20 years. Male - 55 years old Far North - 15 calendar years of experience or equivalent areas - 20 calendar years of experience. Insurance experience - 25 years. A man - at 50 years old, a woman - at 45 years old. Permanent residence in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas. Work for at least 25 and 20 years, respectively, as reindeer herders, fishermen, and commercial hunters; 9 months of work in the far north = 1 calendar year of work in an area equated to the regions of the far north.
The law provides for the possibility of assigning a pension with a reduction retirement age in proportion to the existing experience. This requires at least 7 years 6 months of work in the Far North. In this case, the insurance pension is assigned with a reduction in the retirement age (60 years for men and 55 years for women) by four months for each full calendar year of work in these areas. Citizens who have worked for at least 15 calendar years in the regions of the Far North or at least 20 calendar years in equivalent areas and have the insurance period and length of service required for the early assignment of an old-age insurance pension and the length of service in the relevant types of work, the age established for the early assignment of a pension, decreases by 5 years. And we will provide another table to make it even clearer.

The duration of the required work experience in the regions of the Far North and equivalent areas depends on the severity of the natural and climatic conditions in which such work is carried out (the regions of the Far North are more severe compared to equivalent areas), therefore the legislation establishes rules for summing up periods of work in different northern regions and localities. The pension in such cases is established for 15 calendar years of work in the Far North.
Compensation for retired northerners for the cost of travel to and from their vacation destination.
Non-working pensioners who are recipients of old-age and disability pensions and who live in the Far North and equivalent areas have the right to compensation for the cost of travel to and from their vacation destination once every two years. For compensation, a pensioner can apply to the Russian Pension Fund at the place of residence with an application in the prescribed form indicating the place of rest. In this case, the vacation spot must be located on Russian territory.
Types of compensation:
provision of travel documents ensuring the pensioner’s travel to the place of rest and back; reimbursement of expenses actually incurred by the pensioner to pay the cost of travel to the place of vacation and back.
Northern pension when moving.
Let's look at the question that people have when they want to move from the northern regions or vice versa to the northern regions. How will their pension change?
If a pensioner moves from the Far North to an area with normal natural and climatic conditions, the fixed payment is determined without a regional coefficient. Citizens who have worked for at least 15 calendar years in the regions of the Far North or at least 20 calendar years in areas equivalent to them, and who have an insurance record of at least 25 years (for men) or at least 20 years (for women), have a fixed payment to old age insurance pension and disability insurance pension are established at an increased rate regardless of place of residence. Moreover, of these, only those citizens who live in the regions of the Far North or in areas equivalent to them are given the right to choose: an increase in the fixed payment using the corresponding regional coefficient or the establishment of an increased fixed payment of the insurance pension. If a pensioner moves from the Far North region to another northern region, where a larger or smaller regional coefficient is established for wages, the fixed payment to the old-age insurance pension, disability insurance pension and survivor's pension is subject to change either upward or downward decrease depending on the area of the new place of residence.

» a press conference was held with the participation of the manager of the Yugra branch of the Russian Pension Fund. Tatyana Zaitseva spoke about the indexation of pensions. On February 1, payments were indexed by 4%. Meanwhile, the authorities of Khanty-Mansiysk also decided to help pensioners financially.
A penny saves the ruble, says Irina Mozzhevilova. Especially when a pension is your only income. Today the pensioner learned some good news. For Defender of the Fatherland and International Day women's day non-working pensioners of Khanty-Mansiysk will receive one-time social assistance.
Irina Mozzhevilova, pensioner: “For a pensioner, every penny is necessary, and even with these 500 rubles I will make a wonderful salad and invite my grandchildren, nephews and relatives. And it will be very nice that I have some kind of unusual salad thanks to the fact that the city helped me.”
In addition, in February, non-working pensioners of the district center will also receive quarterly social assistance - 900 rubles. In total, about seven thousand Khanty-Mansi residents will receive additional support measures under the municipal program to support citizens.
Svetlana Lyushkova, service director social support population, Khanty-Mansiysk: “In this program we have additional social support measures that are paid to residents in addition to federal and district support measures. The category of citizens who can count on such support measures are non-working pensioners who have lived in Khanty-Mansiysk for 15 years or more. Our program provides for such a residency requirement.”
The number of pensioners in Ugra is growing. Over the past year alone, their number has increased by three percent and exceeded four hundred thousand people. Almost every second pensioner does not work. From February 1, insurance pensions of non-working pensioners were indexed. The increase amounted to more than five hundred rubles. For working pensioners, payments remained at the same level. However, once they stop working, they can also apply for indexation.
Tatyana Zaitseva, manager of the Yugra branch of the Russian Pension Fund: “Not only insurance pensions were indexed by 4%, but the cost of one pension point was also indexed by 4%. You know that since last year pensions in the Russian Federation have been assigned taking into account the cost of the point. So, the same cost of the point was also indexed by 4% and amounted to 74 rubles 27 kopecks.”
The monthly rate has also increased social payment from the state. It is awarded to certain preferential categories - the so-called federal beneficiaries. In addition, in the third quarter of this year, pensioners will be subject to additional indexation so that the size of the increase in pensions is equal to the inflation rate.
Author Alexander Kalachev, Anastasia Levdina, Flur Zagirov.
As of July 1, 2017, 425,553 pensioners live in the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug, of which 400,903 are recipients of insurance pensions (old age, disability, survivor). 34% of Ugra pensioners continue to work.
Pension Fund specialists have assigned 24,650 insurance pensions, which are determined according to new rules - taking into account earned individual pension points. 375,894 of assigned pensions are old-age insurance pensions.
“To earn the right to a pension in 2017, you must have 11.4 points and 8 years of insurance experience. The right to early retirement for work in the Far North and equivalent areas arises for women at the age of 50, for men at the age of 55, if they have 15 years of work experience in the Far North or 20 years of work in areas equivalent to the areas Far North. In addition, the insurance period for women must be at least 20 years, and for men at least 25 years. Upon reaching retirement age, the points accumulated over the entire career are summed up and multiplied by the value of the pension point, which from 04/01/2017 is 78.58 rubles. A fixed payment is added to the amount received. Both of these values are indexed annually to a level not lower than inflation, but only for non-working pensioners,” comments Tatyana Sergeevna Zaitseva, Manager of the Branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the Khanty-Mansiysk Autonomous Okrug - Ugra.
