Supplement to pension for children in 2021: who is entitled to additional payment

Definitely, first of all, the size of the pension benefit is determined by the citizen’s length of service over all the years of his work and the size of the official salary. But there are nuances in pension legislation that allow members of the pensioner’s family to receive additional bonuses depending on the circumstances.

We will consider all options when a retired citizen has the right to receive additional funds due to the certain status of his family members.

What is a supplement to the pension for children?

Regular changes in the legislative basis for the accrual and calculation of cash payments for pension benefits lead to the fact that pensioners are confused, having no idea how the accruals are carried out. The pension supplement for children born after and before 1990 is not an automatic additional payment to the monthly benefit, but a different calculation procedure that arose as a result of replacing length of service with additional points. Some pensioners, upon recalculation, receive a significant increase in their pension for children in 2021.

According to the old procedure for registering a pension, maternity leave was not included in a woman’s work experience and was deducted from it. When recalculating by points, maternity time is a non-insurance period, points are awarded for it, and the final amount of the pension is calculated taking them into account. Each recalculation is made individually by employees of the Pension Fund - if they see that, when making an additional payment, the pension will decrease and not increase, the accrual option remains the same, since the financial situation of the pensioner cannot be worsened.

Or experience or points

Let us remind you that from 01/01/2015 points are awarded for periods of child care:

• for the first child - 1.8;
• for the second - 3.6;
• for the third and subsequent ones - 5.4.

As a result, it turns out that a mother with many children has a greater chance of increasing her pension. But if only it were that simple.

Converting maternity periods to points leads to an equivalent reduction in the insurance period. And this may affect the size of the pension, and not only not increase it, but also reduce it. Therefore, before you go to the Pension Fund and ask to accrue points for periods of childcare, you need to calculate whether it is profitable.

Pension supplement for children born before 1990 and later

Elderly citizens are misled, believing that additional payment to pensioners for children is possible if the baby was born before 1990, during Soviet times. However, additional payments can be received for adult and minor dependent persons - the main thing is that the parent applying for the supplement retires after 01/01/2015, since during this period the pension legislation was revised and pension points were introduced, affecting the amount pensions.

Conditions of receipt

An additional pension for children in 2021 is possible for working pensioners and non-working elderly people. Recalculation is not done for persons receiving an insurance pension for the loss of a breadwinner or victims of the Chernobyl accident. The Pension Fund puts forward the conditions necessary for a valid application to recalculate a pension based on points, and not on length of service. These include the following provisions:

• The applicant retired earlier than 01/01/2015.
• The petitioner retired after this period, but did not provide PF with information about his existing descendants.

Individual pension points ratio

You can determine how much the supplement to pension benefits for children will be in 2021 in the following table:

To decide which pensioners should apply for a pension supplement for children in 2018, and for whom recalculation taking into account pension coefficients will be unprofitable, you can refer to the table below:

List of documents for registration

A person applying for a federal social benefit must have a package of papers. The following documents are required:

• ID card (passport);
• SNILS;
• birth certificates of all offspring;
• documents confirming that the children are one and a half years old (any official data - certificates, a certified copy of a passport, certificates, certificates issued in the name of a son or daughter);
• information that the spouse did not apply for additional payment;
• certificate of family composition;
• other data.

Where to get compensation

The amount of the bonus received depends on

• number of children;
• the age of the pensioner himself;
• the fact of his work or non-work;
• the fact of his physical condition - perhaps the pensioner has a disability.

Based on all the above conditions, if the pensioner has not yet turned 80 years old, a glorious age, at this age Valentino “conjured” his most exquisite perfume scent, and Vladimir Vladimirovich Posner still conducts his popular television meetings and looks “like a cucumber.” We rejoice, enjoy life, no matter what, at this age, but, oh, what a wealth of knowledge. You can’t buy it or just find it on the road. You need to go through this road first, from the very beginning, without turning off halfway.

So this is what the pension supplement for raising children is like if you are not yet 80:

• if there is one child, 3,416 rubles are due;
• if there are two of them - 4270 rubles;
• if there are three – 5124 rubles.

If you are already the age of Valentino and Posner, then the premiums are higher:

• if there is one child – 5970 rubles;
• if there are two of them - 6832 rubles;
• if there are three – 7680 rubles.

Unfortunately, not all “80” pensioners manage to maintain “20 years” of health; many already have to go on disability. In this case, the allowances become even higher, although they depend on the disability group:

• if there is one child – from 4,000 to 11,200 rubles;
• if there are two of them – from 6440 to 12800 rubles;
• if there are three – from 7,200 to 14,400 rubles.

If a pensioner has become so attached to the North that even at this age he decided to stay in this region, then the premiums become even higher, although here, however, the usual calculation is carried out “according to the northern coefficient” - in any case, it will be from 6,000 to 16,000. Read more about the northern pension here.

The situation becomes more difficult, of course, if the child has already crossed the threshold of 18 years and is studying at an educational institution, but he is still under 23. In this case, the pensioner is entitled to an additional payment of 1,500 rubles.

All these “from and to” should not frighten. It’s just that the pensioner must find out the specific amounts of the allowances and calculate together with the employee of the regional branch of the Pension Fund.

In general, in this situation, you will need to be in very close contact with PF employees, only calmly, trying to clarify all the nuances, without that treacherous feeling “that no one needs us here.” This is absolutely not true. “We are exactly needed here” to set an example of education and respect for life for Pension Fund employees, who are often only on the way to this.

And, in general, first an application is submitted on a special approved form outlining all the circumstances of the case related to receiving an allowance for children being raised for the state. Pride, more pride - you are performing a very important task for everyone. No one owes nothing to nobody. But everyone deserves respect.

In parallel with the application, all necessary supporting documents are prepared, the review period of which is no more than 10 working days. In other words, submit on Friday the 10th, it is more reasonable to expect a response no earlier than Monday the 27th. Those who submitted documents 3 days later, on Monday 13th, may also come with you.

Among the documents, in addition to the application:

1. Personal data of the person applying for the bonus.
2. Information about children and their place of residence.
3. Birth certificates for each child.
4. Document on the pensioner’s work activity.
5. Please note that a certificate is also required that the pensioner has not previously applied for such an allowance and is not receiving it.
6. Document in form No. 9, issued by the passport office.
7. If the child is already studying at a higher educational institution, then a certificate from there will also be needed.
8. If the child, God forbid, is disabled, then it is also necessary to provide a certificate of disability.

In our age of computer technology, such an allowance can even be issued through the public services website. This is a very convenient feature. Even if it doesn’t give you unnecessary acquaintances, even if it doesn’t give you the opportunity to add an extra 2-3 kilometers to your movement program (and for a pensioner, movement is life, in the most literal sense of the word), it saves time.

Thus, a pensioner, a citizen of his country, goes to the website of government services of the Russian Federation, logs in and is then “directed” to his personal account.

Now select the item “Pension assignment” and fill out the text fields of the proposed form.

We submit the application and expect a decision within 30 days.

The Pension Fund puts forward the conditions necessary for a valid application to recalculate a pension based on points, and not on length of service. These include the following provisions:

• SNILS;
• birth certificates of all offspring;
• documents confirming that the children are one and a half years old (any official data - certificates, a certified copy of a passport, certificates, certificates issued in the name of a son or daughter);
• information that the spouse did not apply for additional payment;
• certificate of family composition;
• other data.

The situation when an elderly man or woman is raising a minor or an adult incompetent individual is not uncommon. It is impossible to support a minor with the standard provision of a pensioner, because full care and education are required. A lot of money is also spent on maintaining a disabled child or adult. The state provides assistance to pensioners who have dependents who are incapacitated due to age or other circumstances.

Persons who have reached retirement age are entitled to a supplement to the insurance part of pension benefits if they have dependents. Elderly Russians receive an increase for the following categories of minor or incapacitated daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, grandchildren;

• before they reach 18 years of age;
• up to 23 years of age, subject to studying in secondary specialized or higher educational institutions;
• for any dependents, if the recipient is a pensioner with a disability group.

For a disabled child

If a citizen receiving state benefits based on age has a disabled child of groups 3, 2, 1, then allowances are paid regardless of the latter’s age. The guardian is entitled to a fixed payment towards the pension before and after the disabled person comes of age, upon confirmation of disability by a certificate from the commission establishing incapacity by assigning a disability group.

In order to receive an additional payment for a full-time student studying at a higher or secondary specialized institution, the applicant must annually provide a certificate from the place of education of his son or daughter about his ongoing studies. Information is provided through the institution's dean's office. The student receives the certificate independently, transferring the data to the guardian to receive a fixed additional payment.

For certain groups of citizens, the pension supplement for children in 2021 is calculated individually, taking into account their social status. These Russians receive severance pay ahead of schedule, before reaching the legal age, and can apply for social subsidies to support minor family members. These include the following categories of citizens:

• those who have completed their insurance period or have lived permanently in the harsh climatic conditions of the Far North or equivalent regions;
• military pensioners;
• citizens receiving pension payments from the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• mothers of many children.

• a certificate from the tax office (it shows that the pensioner is not an entrepreneur or is not engaged in another type of labor activity at the time of submitting the documentation);
• a certificate showing that dependent persons are disabled;
• certificate from the place of study (for those studying at universities, schools, vocational schools).

Federal supplement to women's pensions for children in 2021

The situation when an elderly man or woman is raising a minor or an adult incompetent individual is not uncommon. It is impossible to support a minor with the standard provision of a pensioner, because full care and education are required. A lot of money is also spent on maintaining a disabled child or adult. The state provides assistance to pensioners who have dependents who are incapacitated due to age or other circumstances.

For a minor child

Persons who have reached retirement age are entitled to a supplement to the insurance part of pension benefits if they have dependents. Elderly Russians receive an increase for the following categories of minor or incapacitated daughters, sons, brothers, sisters, grandchildren;

• before they reach 18 years of age;
• up to 23 years of age, subject to studying in secondary specialized or higher educational institutions;
• for any dependents, if the recipient is a pensioner with a disability group.

For a disabled child

The guardian is entitled to a fixed payment towards the pension before and after the disabled person comes of age, upon confirmation of disability by a certificate from the commission establishing incapacity by assigning a disability group.

For a student child under 23 years of age

In order to receive an additional payment for a full-time student studying at a higher or secondary specialized institution, the applicant must annually provide a certificate from the place of education of his son or daughter about his ongoing studies. Information is provided through the institution's dean's office. The student receives the certificate independently, transferring the data to the guardian to receive a fixed additional payment.

Features of calculating additional payments to pensioners for children in 2018

For certain groups of citizens, the pension supplement for children in 2021 is calculated individually, taking into account their social status. These Russians receive severance pay ahead of schedule, before reaching the legal age, and can apply for social subsidies to support minor family members. These include the following categories of citizens:

• those who have completed their insurance period or have lived permanently in the harsh climatic conditions of the Far North or equivalent regions;
• military pensioners;
• citizens receiving pension payments from the Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• mothers of many children.

Living in areas of the Far North and equivalent to them

The allowance for children due to pensioners of the Far North (FN) or regions with the same climate is determined by the regional legislative authorities. To qualify for payments, the applicant must provide employees of the Pension Fund with information about registration in the area related to the Constitutional Court. If a citizen has left or changed his place of residence to another region not related to the Constitutional Court, then additional payments for children taking into account northern benefits and compensation will not be made.

When receiving early support in another region, it will be unprofitable for a pensioner using CS benefits to receive payments calculated based on individual pension points, since length of service will not be taken into account. Regional branches of the Pension Fund calculate payments for descendants, taking into account the bonuses received in accordance with established coefficients and the overall level of income of the applicant.

Military pensioners

Persons in this group of beneficiaries may qualify for payments if they do not receive social benefits. The amount of the increase is influenced by regional benefits established by the constituent entities of the federation. Having collected the necessary papers, military pensioners burdened with children can apply for bonuses to social supplements. The amount of assistance is as follows:

• for 1 child – 32% of the benefit received;
• on two – 64%;
• for three or more children – 100%.

For pensioners under the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Citizens receiving pension subsidies through the Ministry of Internal Affairs or the Ministry of Emergency Situations can apply for a pension supplement for children in 2018. It is accrued on general terms, varying from 32-100% depending on the number of heirs. The applicant is required to comply with the following conditions:

• The applicant must not be working;
• Dependents are persons under 18 years of age or studying full-time in secondary specialized and higher institutions that are not related to the Ministry of Internal Affairs or other military schools.

Mothers of many children

Women who have raised more than 4 offspring retire early. They do not have to apply for federal subsidies - the issue of increasing their pension is decided by regional authorities. This category of beneficiaries may qualify for additions to the payments received if maternity time was not included in the total length of service. The calculation of pension points assigned to all offspring occurs in the general manner; employees consider the resulting changes from replacing length of service with points and indicate whether it makes sense to recalculate the benefits received or not.

Additional payment for deceased spouse

When one of the spouses dies, the second has every right to receive his pension. That is, he renounces his pension benefits and goes to the benefits of his deceased spouse. This is beneficial in cases where the deceased received more than the remaining pensioner.

Widows of deceased or deceased disabled veterans of the Second World War, as well as participants in the wars with Japan and Finland, have the right to receive an additional payment in the amount of 500 rubles. It is carried out every month until the end of life.

How to apply for additional pension payments for grandchildren

Widows of conscripts who died during military service, as well as citizens who suffered due to the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, can receive two pensions. One is due to old age or disability, and the second pension provision is due to the loss of a breadwinner.

To receive additional payments, you should contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation at your place of residence and write a corresponding application.

How to apply

The excitement caused by the opportunity for older people to receive additional payments led to a massive influx of Russians to local branches of the Pension Fund and the formation of long queues. To prevent older people from wasting time, nerves, and health, the Pension Fund offers to issue additional payments later, using a time convenient for the pensioner. There is no deadline for submitting an application. You can apply for an allowance in the following ways:

• By personal contact to the nearest Pension Fund branch. Employees recommend making an appointment remotely to avoid languishing in a long line.
• Using the functions of the local MFC, if services for the recalculation of pension subsidies are provided by this body.
• Via the Internet, registering on the government services website, sending scans of documentation.
• By mailing the application and attached papers by registered mail, indicating the need for notification of receipt.

What documents need to be provided

When applying for grants, the following official documents are required:

• Applications in the established form, separately for citizens under 18, 23 years of age.
• Original birth certificates of descendants.
• Original or certified copy of the work book.
• Information that the spouse did not apply for compensatory payments.
• Certificates from the Federal Migration Service that the pensioner is not an individual entrepreneur.
• Document on family composition indicating a minor dependent.
• Certificates from the educational institution.
• Information about the absence of social benefits to the offspring.
• Account details where the pension supplement will be sent.

To receive the bonus regularly, it must be renewed annually. The Russian will have to provide the following documents:

• information from the student’s place of study;
• a certificate from the Federal Migration Service confirming the absence of entrepreneurial activity;
• information about family composition.
