Increase in Belarusian Pensions: Details on Recipients and Amounts
Belarusian pensioners aged 75 and above are set to receive additional pension increases, with those in the I group disability category receiving extra benefits. The Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of Belarus has reported the details of these pension increases.
Starting August 1st, the minimum subsistence level (BPL) in Belarus will increase to Br487.72, marking a 5.4% increase from the previous amount. This increase in the BPL will result in an increase in "age-related" supplements to pensions.
For those aged 75-79 with an I group disability, the additional pension increase will be Br213.38. Similarly, pensioners aged 80 and above with an I group disability will receive an additional Br243.86.
This means that disabled pensioners aged 75 and older, who belong to the I group disability category, will receive both the standard pension increase and an additional payment as extra benefits. The exact amount of the pension increase for those aged 75 and above has been specified: Br91.45 for those aged 75-79, and Br182.90 for those aged 80 and above.
In total, more than 540,000 people aged 75 and above in Belarus will receive these pension increases. The new minimum subsistence level (BPL) will remain in effect for the last three months of summer, from August 1st to October 31st.
This increase in pensions and benefits for elderly and disabled pensioners is closely related to the increase in the minimum subsistence level (BPL). The total expenses for "age-related" supplements in 2025 will amount to Br870 million. These pension increases are part of recent adjustments to support the elderly and disabled pensioners in Belarus.
