What's happened?
A pension reform has taken place in Russia: from January 1, 2021, the retirement age of citizens began to increase until it reaches the following values:
- 60 years for women;
- 65 years for men.
At the same time, as promised by the Government of the Russian Federation and the President of Russia, the insurance part began to be indexed above the inflation rate. Their indexation in 2021 was 7.05%, in 2021 - 6.6% for all citizens receiving an insurance pension. In 2021, the government plans to increase insurance payments by 6.3%. But what does 1000 and 5000 have to do with it? Who will receive a pension increase of 5,000 rubles. and under what conditions - there is a lot of information about this on the Internet, but is it true? Let's figure it out now.
How to submit an application through the State Services portal
Already on December 17, 2021, the “Payment for children from 0 to 8 years” tab appeared on the main page of the “State Services” portal. After clicking on this tab, information will appear on the user’s screen indicating that there is no need to submit an application if payments have previously been made for children under 16 years of age. However, here it is also possible to change bank account details and submit an application to citizens if they did not receive payments for children in the spring-summer of 2021.
Attention! Only persons who have a verified account can submit an application through the State Services portal.
So, to change the details, you need to select the appropriate item, after which the application form will appear on the screen. It will indicate the full name and other information of the applicant, which cannot be corrected. Below you should indicate the new account details. This can be done either manually or using a drop-down list when specifying the BIC or bank name.
After sending the application, the money will be transferred to the recipient's new account.
If a person has not previously received payments for children, then an appropriate application should be submitted.
To do this, go to the section “Apply for payments for children under 8 years of age.”
After the transition, the application form will appear in front of the user. Personal and passport information will be entered automatically based on your account information.
After this, you must provide the following information about the child:
- FULL NAME;
- date of birth;
- SNILS;
- birth registration number (available on the relevant certificate);
- date of recording the act;
- name of the civil registry office that issued the certificate.
Information about several children is indicated within one application. There is no need to submit separate forms for each child.
After entering information about children, the user indicates the details of the bank account to which the funds will be received.
Reference! Separately, it should be noted that it is possible to issue payments to children who are citizens of the Russian Federation, but do not have a Russian birth certificate. In this case, filling out an application through the form on the State Services portal will not work. In this case, you must personally contact the Pension Fund office to resolve this issue on an individual basis.

Who will receive an increase of 1000 rubles or less?
In accordance with the federal law on the budget for 2021 and for the planning period 2022–2023, which is now being adopted by the State Duma, budget transfers to the Pension Fund are provided for the indexation of payments to Russian pensioners to ensure an increase of 6.3% of insurance pension payments that citizens receive. That is, they will not give everyone an increase of 1000, but 6.3% of the amount that an elderly person receives. That is, someone who has a monthly amount of, for example, 10,000 rubles, will receive on average:
10,000 x 6.3% = 630 rub.
Therefore, to receive an increase of 1000 rubles. you need to receive 14,185 rubles monthly. Accordingly, those with higher pension payments will receive more. Provided, of course, that they don't work. Working pensioners are not entitled to indexation at all. And a pension increase of 5,000 rubles for all pensioners is not planned in the budget, despite numerous rumors on the Internet. Neither in the form of a lump sum payment, nor in the form of an additional payment to monthly payments. Only a few will receive it.
To find out what pension amount awaits you in 2021, use a simple calculator.
Some senior citizens will receive increases beyond that 6.3%. They will receive a little more than 5,000 in 2021, but this is not a lump sum, as in 2021.
A New Year's gift for kids from the President - a one-time payment for each child up to 7 years old inclusive.
During a press conference on December 17, President Vladimir Putin said that all Russian families with children under 7 years old inclusive would be paid 5,000 rubles for the New Year.
We have collected explanations from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Labor on payments. Here's what we know about them as of December 18th.
Who is entitled to payment?
In accordance with the decree of Russian President Vladimir Putin, a one-time payment in the amount of 5 thousand rubles will be received by parents, adoptive parents, guardians and trustees of children who, as of December 17, 2021, have not yet turned 8 years old. The payment should go to those children who were born in the period from December 18, 2012 to March 31, 2021 inclusive; it is specified that the State money will also be given to those children who were born after July 1 of this year (that is, after the “summer” payment) and who else only born before March 31 of the future, 2021. Only for these new recipients, parents (guardians, trustees) must write applications for payment (how to do this - read on).
5,000 rubles will go to each child. If there is one child under 8 years old in a family, then 5 thousand rubles are paid, if there are two children - 10 thousand rubles, and so on.
How will they list
A new lump sum payment is assigned on the basis of previously submitted applications for the following payments: * monthly up to 3 years, * lump sum from 3 to 16 years.
That is, if you previously submitted applications and already received “summer” payments, then the “New Year’s” 5,000 thousand will be sent to you automatically.
The same applies to guardians: if the guardian has previously received payments for children, then 5,000 rubles in December will be provided without a request, automatically.
The money will go to the same recipient (parent or guardian) who was indicated in the previously submitted application. The funds will be sent to the same account and using the same details that are already in the Pension Fund database.
Application: to submit or not
Payment of 5,000 rubles for children under 8 years old will be automatic. But some parents will have to apply to receive the payment. An application is required in the following cases:
* previously, for some reason, you did not apply for a payment for a child under 3 years old and/or a lump sum payment for a child from 3 to 16 years old and did not receive these payments for children; * the account to which you received payments before the age of 16 is already closed or for some reason is not valid; *child was born after July 1, 2021.
In all other cases, you do not need to submit an application for payment.
How to apply
* If you need to submit an application for payment (since you have not submitted it before), you can do this on the State Services portal or by contacting the Pension Fund client service in person.
How to submit applications through the State Services website is explained below.
* After submitting an application on the State Services website, a visit to the MFC or the territorial branch of the Pension Fund is not required. There is no need to collect any additional certificates. The application is submitted by one of the parents for all children. The funds will be transferred to the same parent.
* But guardians and trustees who have not previously received payments for children submit an application only in person and only to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation - by contacting any client service of this department.
* If the family previously lived in another country and then returned to Russia, in order to receive a one-time payment, you will need documents confirming residence in the Russian Federation. The payment is provided to citizens of the Russian Federation living in Russia. The child must also have Russian citizenship.
* Applications will be accepted until April 1, 2021. Including for children born after the decree was issued, in the period from December 18, 2020 to March 31, 2021.
If you made a mistake in the statement
If the application is submitted with an incorrect or invalid bank account number, the Pension Fund will inform the parent applying for the payment that it is necessary to provide the correct details for the transfer of funds. Such a notification is sent to your personal account on the State Services portal or by registered mail with notification - depending on how the application for payment was submitted: electronically through the portal or in person.
What are the conditions for receiving
* The payment does not depend on family income, availability of work and receipt of wages, as well as pensions, scholarships, unemployment benefits.
* It also does not depend on whether or not the family receives other measures of social support - maternity capital, social payments, etc.
* The payment is not taxed and does not affect the purpose of other social support measures.
* The money will be transferred to the bank account specified by the parent (guardian) in the application and linked to the card of any payment system (not necessarily to the MIR card).
*You can use your money at your own discretion.
* A visit to the MFC or the territorial branch of the Pension Fund is not required. No additional information is required to be collected.
* Payment can be refused only in the event of deprivation of parental rights and other legal restrictions, or death of children.
When to expect money
The funds, they promise, will be transferred to everyone by the end of December. 14.7 million children under 8 years old will receive New Year's 5,000 rubles in the country. The amount of funds that will be allocated for these purposes will amount to over 73.5 billion rubles.
Parents can ask why the payment has not arrived, as well as other questions regarding the new payment, through the electronic service online.pfrf.ru. It was specially launched to provide information support and advice to families regarding payments for children.
Pension Fund branches will be open on weekends
Branches of the Russian Pension Fund will be open on the weekend of December 19 and 20 to accept applications for New Year's payments, the press service of the Ministry of Labor told reporters.
“Most parents will receive the payment proactively. That is, parents of children who have already applied for “summer coronavirus payments” will receive 5 thousand rubles automatically. For those parents whose child was born after July 1, 2021, as well as those who have not applied for previous payments, it is necessary to submit an application. This can be done through the government services portal or in person at the Pension Fund branches. Since the Prime Minister has been instructed to organize payments as quickly as possible, the Pension Fund will work on weekends to accept applications from parents,” said the head of the Ministry of Labor, Anton Kotyakov, as quoted by the press service.
The ministry clarified that we are talking about the weekend of December 19 and 20. We will inform you on December 19 whether the PFR office in Artemovsky will work these days.
Algorithm for submitting an application through the State Duma
Let us repeat, the application must be submitted only if it has not previously been submitted for payments up to 3 years and from 3 to 16 years.
There is a special section on the State Services website for submitting an application: https://posobie2020.gosuslugi.ru. There you can fill out two forms, depending on which one you need - just change your account details or submit an application that you have not previously submitted.
If you just need to change the details. Go to the main page of State Services and click on the green window.
Next, select the “Change payment details” menu on the tab that opens and fill out the form that opens. In it, indicate the new bank account information - payments will be sent to it. Be careful! However, you do not need to submit an application to assign a new payment.
If you need to apply for payment . For example, for a child who was born on July 1, 2021 and later, or you have children under 8 years of age for whom you have not previously received the above payments. Then go to the main page of State Services, click on the green window (see picture above), select the menu “Apply for payment for children under 8 years old” and fill out the form.
Important! In your application, be sure to indicate the exact details of the bank account to which the funds will be transferred. Details of the account to which your card is linked can be found in online banking or in the bank’s mobile application on your phone. In Sberbank, account details are indicated in the “About the card” section.
The application requires information about each child and bank account. Prepare them in advance to fill out all the fields and receive your payment. You will need: * birth certificate for each child. If the child does not have a birth certificate, contact the Pension Fund in person; * bank account details. They can be viewed, we repeat, in the Internet bank or mobile banking application. You need your 20-digit account number, BIC and correspondent account number.
Important! The card number printed on its surface does not match the bank account number and is not suitable for transferring payments. The application must indicate exactly the bank account number of 20 characters. Payment cannot be made to the account of another person - only to the applicant. Payment cannot be received by mail.
Who will receive an additional 5,000 rubles
The law on the federal budget for 2021 provides funds for making one-time payments to persons of retirement age in the amount of 26,005,000 rubles. Does this mean that someone will again receive additional money, except for indexation? Which pensioners and in which areas will receive an additional 5,000 rubles? — the Russian government does not plan any massive one-time payments. This money is intended to make traditional one-time payments by May 9 for war participants. What about the 5000 increase? She will be there too, but not from these 26 million.
In Russia, there is a rule that increases the salary in the form of a fixed portion for those persons who are over 80 years old. In the month in which their birthday falls, citizens begin to receive a special supplement to their pension - in the amount of 5,686.25 rubles. (as of 01/01/2020). Such additional payment is subject to indexation on a general basis. The surcharge for 80-year-olds will increase to 6,044.48 rubles in 2021. Is everyone given 5000 at the age of 85? Yes, this happens in the month when a person reaches the appropriate age. That is, for those who cross the 80-year mark in November-December 2021, the amount per month will be increased by 5,686.25 rubles. And they will receive this increased amount monthly.

Who is entitled to the New Year's payment?
The year 2020 is characterized by an unprecedented challenge in the form of a pandemic of a new coronavirus infection. In this regard, the Russian leadership has taken various measures throughout its history aimed at suppressing the spread of coronavirus and helping citizens who have suffered from the consequences of the pandemic.
Thus, during April – July, the state made payments to children under 16 years of age. All citizens of the Russian Federation whose families raised minors under the specified age could count on them.
However, after July, payments were stopped, although the possibility of extending them until August was considered in connection with preparations for school.
On December 17, during a press conference, V.V. Putin announced new payments - 5,000 rubles, dedicated to the New Year. According to the President, they are a New Year's gift to children from the state, compensating for the absence of traditional New Year trees, concerts and holiday programs, which have been canceled in all regions of the Russian Federation due to the ongoing coronavirus epidemic.
He also signed the corresponding document - the Decree “On a one-time payment to families with children” dated December 17, 2020.
, the following persons with children under the age of 7 years inclusive can count on a payment of 5,000 rubles
- parents;
- guardians;
- trustees.
A mandatory requirement for payment recipients is that the legal representative and the child himself have Russian citizenship. There is no property qualification for receiving funds.
This means that families with any income level can count on 5,000 rubles. Separately, it should be noted that this payment will not be taken into account in the future when calculating family income for calculating various benefits and providing benefits.
Important! The deadline for transferring financial assistance is until December 31, 2021.
