Increased pensions for certain pensioner groups are set to take effect in September
In a recent report by TASS, changes to pension payments in Russia have been announced, affecting several categories of pensioners. The information was also confirmed by State Duma deputy Alexei Govyrin, a member of the committee on small and medium-sized businesses.
From September 1, a new category of pensioners will be introduced, including never-worked persons. However, the specific pension amount for a never-worked person was not provided in the given context. Generally, the pension system in Russia provides a social pension for citizens who have not earned enough work record or contributions to receive an insurance pension. This social pension is a minimum state-guaranteed amount designed to support non-working retirees, including those who never worked. The exact amount can vary by region and is subject to government adjustments.
For those who stopped working in August, a significant change is in store. They will be credited with a full pension, taking into account all missed indexations. The recalculation is automatic, and the new pension amount is set from the month following the termination of employment.
The first category consists of citizens who turned 80 in August. Starting from September 1, they will receive a doubled fixed part of their insurance pension. If they have a caregiver, the amount will increase by 1,314 rubles. For state pension recipients, the supplement will be 1,377 rubles.
The second category includes pensioners who were assigned I group disability in August. They will see an increase of 2,969 rubles 23 kopecks for each non-working family member, if they have dependents.
It's worth noting that the pension consists of pension credits and a fixed payment. The cost of one pension credit will be 145.69 rubles in 2025.
The average pension in Russia is currently 23,448 rubles. The changes to pension payments will come into effect on September 1. For more precise information about the pension for a never-worked person, it's recommended to consult official State Duma releases, government pension legislation, or the Russian Pension Fund’s official publications.
