Recalculation of pension for non-working pensioners: advice on calculating

The increase in the size of pension payments came almost to the fore in the strategy of long-term development of the pension system. Only a small part of the Russian old people live in prosperity, most are far from a good standard of living. Some pensioners are forced to go back to work, others are helped by grown-up children. Due to the difficult financial situation, elderly people increasingly began to look for additional sources of income. But for health reasons, many still have to stop their work.

At such a moment it is important to know about what you can count on and what surcharges will be put. Recalculation of pension to non-working pensioners is necessary, as some circumstances may affect the increase in the amount of payments.

What is a recalculation?

The concept is defined by the Federal Law "On Insurance Pensions". The recalculation of a pension for non-working pensioners implies a change in the amount of the due payments. This process is possible if the citizen provides a new package of documents confirming a change in life circumstances. The reason for updating can also be changes in the legislative framework.

What methods recount the pension?

The procedure for recalculating pension to non-working pensioners can be implemented in two ways:

1. Immediately upon personal submission of documents to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Recalculation is carried out in relation to the fixed amount. The pension with a premium, as a rule, comes already the next month after the registration of the necessary papers.
2. Automatically. In this situation, a fixed amount and the size of the insurance pension can increase. The latter concerns working pensioners, the recalculation is made in connection with contributions from their employers. But the allowance to the base amount is relied upon when Russian citizens reach the age of eighty.

Do I need to recalculate pensions for non-working pensioners? Of course, yes, if there is any of the factors under this condition. When you reach the age of eighty, you can claim a bonus from the same day. If the disability group has changed, new payments will be accrued from the moment of issue of the confirming document. But if the change in life circumstances implies a decrease in the amount of payments, the changes will take effect from the next month.

How do I recalculate when I reach the age of eighty?

How to make a recalculation of pension to non-working pensioners who turned eighty? In this case everything happens automatically. The allowance relates to the basic amount of payments. The system itself monitors the passport data, which are specified in the payment case.

In order to become the owner of the second basic payment, you need to receive an insurance sum. Applicants for the doubled amount may be those citizens of advanced age who are paid a social pension.

To become the owner of a double fixed amount is possible in case of loss of the bread-winner. But in this case, you need to write a waiver of benefits and go to retirement by age. This procedure can be implemented in the Pension Fund.

How is the pension recalculated?

Is it possible to recalculate a pension to a non-working pensioner when the disability group is changed? Yes, on the basis of the opinion of the relevant specialist. The local Pension Fund will automatically recalculate based on this reference. Increased pension is accrued from the day when new conditions for incapacity for work were established.

How to make a statement about recalculation?

Documents for the recalculation of the pension of non-working pensioners are the basis for carrying out this procedure. The application is the main paper. Every Russian citizen, who is on a well-deserved rest, has the right to appeal about the change in the amount paid to him. The following reasons may serve as reasons for filing an application:

• Change in the number of dependents in the family;
• The choice of a new place of residence with special conditions (means the regions of the Far North or other similar regions);
• Getting the right to early retirement in the presence of work experience in the Far North.

There is not necessarily a personal presence for applying to the Pension Fund . There are cases when, due to the state of human health, this is impossible. Then a representative can file documents. The procedure can be implemented 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 for the recalculation, and the list of attached documents.

For registration of papers the passport, insurance number of the individual personal account will be necessary. Any other documents can be requested only if necessary or in the absence of them in the databases of government agencies.

The services consider the appeal within five working days.

Will there be additional payments to non-working pensioners this year?

The 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 plans to increase pensions by the same percentage this spring.

In general, we can note a positive trend. Last year, indexation was carried out only once, and the change was four percent. And this despite the fact that inflation rates were much higher.

Recently, the government has decided that an additional indexation in 2017 will be replaced by a fixed payment of five thousand rubles. This is a kind of bonus for the lack of an increase in the previous year. Recalculation of pension to non-working pensioners in this case is not needed. No special application is required. The issuance of compensation is mandatory, therefore, you do not need to apply to the Pension Fund for obtaining additional financial security. This compensation payment should help to cover the costs for pensioners spent on price increases due to inflation.

What are the reasons for receiving a surcharge?

The social supplement in 2017 is only for non-working pensioners. The size of the payment is affected by the following factors:

• location;
• The amount of the subsistence minimum in the region where the applicant lives;
• Current value of pension benefits.

All surcharges (depending on the size) fall into two categories:

1. Federal (their characteristic feature is the obligation to perform).
2. Regional (they are paid depending on the capacity of the local budget).

State allowances are imposed only on Russian citizens who are on a well-deserved rest. The basis for obtaining additional financial resources is the amount of payments, which should be less than the amount of the subsistence minimum established in a particular region.

Finally

The pension is recalculated to non-working pensioners in the same manner as the similar procedure for any other payments. The basis for the recalculation is the receipt of new documents directly from the applicant himself or other state structures. The main reason for the recalculation is new life circumstances.

The advantages of recalculation compared to indexing are obvious. Indexing is massive, recalculation is an individual procedure. The amount of the allowance will depend on the characteristics of the applicant - reaching the age of eighty, changing working capacity. But there are also mandatory procedures. The last recalculation of pensions for non-working pensioners was made on August 1, 2016.
