Recalculation of pensions for mothers: how to apply, where to go? Recalculation to women for children in points Recalculation of pensions to pensioners for children

3/08/2017

The recalculation of the pension for children for women is calculated on the basis of and only for insurance pensions.

The essence of the recalculation is that in this case, for a pensioner, periods of work that coincide with the period of caring for a child up to one and a half years and are excluded from their length of service. These are the so-called other periods, which, according to part 12 of article 15 of Law No. 400, can be calculated for a pensioner in order to increase the pension.

Since the entry into force of Law No. 400-FZ "On Insurance Pensions" when assigning a pension, such an increase is calculated for each pensioner according to the most advantageous option. For pensioners who retired before 2015, the amount of pension can be recalculated by submitting an application to the pension fund for recalculation of other periods.

For example, a child born on 03/11/1982. This means that the woman will be removed from her work experience from the period of leaving from 03/11/1982 to 09/11/1983. It will be converted to retirement points 1.8 - for each full year of caring for the first child, 3.6 - for the second child and 5.4 - for the third child. But no more than 6 years of replacement care in total.

Respectively, one and a half year care for the first child is counted in the amount of 2.7b., for 1.5 years of care, the second child will be given 5.4 points, and for the third, 8.1 with a total score of 16.2. At the same time, we remember that 4.5 years will be taken from the experience for these children! And if for a given period the salary of a pensioner is taken into account for calculating the amount of pension, then it cannot be applied and is excluded from the calculation of the pension capital.

The amount of such an increase to the pension depends on the calculated points and the maximum amount for 4 children (no more than 6 years of care) will be 24.3 b., I.e. 1909.5 rubles (multiply by 24.3 * 78.58) ...

Basically, such a recalculation is beneficial for pensioners with a small salary ratio and a low seniority ratio (low salary and seniority) for insurance pensions for disability, old age (including mothers of invalids from childhood).

It should also be noted that the recalculation is most beneficial for women with 2 children or more, because the number of points in this case reaches the maximum size.

But it must be borne in mind that for early and preferential pensions for old age (teachers, doctors, Lists, RKS) for access to which a special or preferential experience is required, such a recalculation has its own characteristics.

So, for example, in order not to lose the right to a preferential pension in case of excluding the period of retirement from this experience and not to lose the right to a pension, it is required to submit a certificate of the period of caring for a child on the basis of the employer's documents (orders or timesheets). In this case, the length of the preferential period for the pensioner will remain the same, and the periods of childcare can be taken into account in points.

Contrary to popular belief, the period of leaving can be set off in the amount of a pension not only for women, but also for men in the event that the wife has not taken this period of caring for the child into account when calculating the amount of the pension.

Due to the fact that each pensioner has a different experience, salary and periods of childcare, the calculation of the increase for children is purely individual in nature and is made only on the basis of the materials of the pension case.

It is possible to convert into points not only the period of caring for children, but also other periods listed in part 12 of article 15 of Law No. 400 (military service by conscription, caring for a disabled person of group I, a disabled child or a person who has reached the age of 80, as well as the periods of residence of the spouses in clauses 7-8 of this article of the Law.One year of such a period can be converted into 1.8 pension points.

You can apply for such a recalculation directly to the nearest PFR department, through a multifunctional center or remotely via the Internet, by letter.

We recommend that you submit an application for recalculation without queues using the portal of public services right from home. Our article about. The basis for the recalculation should be indicated: Increase in the value of the individual pension coefficient for the periods up to January 1, 2015.

In the event that the recalculation turns out to be unprofitable for the pensioner, then the amount of the pension will not be reduced and will be paid in the same amount. In this case, the pensioner will be sent a refusal to recalculate by mail within 5 days.

From the documents for recalculating the allowance for children, you must provide your passport and originals of the birth certificate of children. Copies of documents are not required.

The calculated supplement to the pension is not a one-time, but a permanent one and, if established, will be paid monthly as part of the insurance pension from the next month after submitting the application.

Mothers (especially those with many children) are entitled to recalculate the childcare pension.

Residents of the Samara region are increasingly turning to the client services of the territorial offices of the Pension Fund of Russia with the question of whether they are entitled to an additional payment to the childcare pension during maternity leave. It is important to know that we are not talking about additional payments, but about the recalculation of pensions for periods of caring for children until they reach the age of one and a half years, which is made only to some citizens.

Recall that starting from 2015, in order to determine the right to the appointment of an insurance pension, in addition to periods of work, so-called non-insurance periods are also counted, which include, among other things, parental leave for each child up to one and a half years old, but not more than six years in total. If the periods of work and non-insurance periods coincide in time, at the request of the pensioner, one of them is taken into account: either work or childcare.

So that the readers of "Freedom Square", without wasting time, could orient themselves whether it is worth worrying about the recalculation of the pension, we asked a few questions to the head of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Avtozavodsky district of Togliatti, Alexander Arkhipov.

The norms have changed

- Alexander Ivanovich, who can apply for recalculation of pensions for children?

Pensioners who retired before 2015 who can be credited with points for caring for children before they reach the age of one and a half years:

If during these periods there are breaks in work, i.e. the citizen during the childcare period did not have an employment relationship with the employer;

If a period of work replaced by a non-insured childcare period would be beneficial for the retiree. For caring for the first child, 1.8 points are awarded per year of care, for the second child - 3.6 points, for the third and fourth - 5.4 points for each year of care. Points are awarded for up to four children.

The cost of one retirement point today is 78 rubles 58 kopecks.

- Why are the periods of childcare not taken into account immediately when assigning a pension?

The length of service before January 1, 2002 is established on the basis of entries in the work book, and the periods of caring for children were not recorded in it. The rate of points accrual not only for the working period, but also for non-insurance periods was introduced in 2015 and applies to citizens whose pensions were assigned before the introduction of this rate.

- Is it possible to recalculate those who retired in 2015 or later?

Those who received a pension in 2015 and later do not need to worry about recalculation - the most profitable option was chosen for them when assigning a pension.

- Is this an increase in experience?

No. If the periods of caring for children coincide in time with the periods of work, then only one of the periods is taken into account in the insurance period. For example, you have 30 years of experience, and there were two childcare periods of one and a half years for each child - 3 years in total. If recalculated from 30 years of service, three years of work are excluded, instead of which three years of childcare will be taken into account.

Beneficial, but not for everyone

- Is it profitable for everyone to recalculate the pension?

No, not everyone. If there was a stable work activity and a full salary, then the recalculation will not entail an increase in the size of the pension. In addition, a decrease in the length of service for the temporary period of caring for children will also reduce the percentage of valorization (i.e. revaluation of pension rights), which is used to increase the amount of pension during work in the Soviet period, i.e. until 1991.

This is beneficial, as a rule, for those who have little work experience, low salaries and three or more children.

- What allowance can you expect?

The possible amount of an increase in pension is individual for everyone.

- What documents are needed for recalculation?

Application, birth certificates of children and identity document.

- How can you apply?

In the territorial administration of the PFR at the place of residence. You can also make an appointment via the Internet using the Citizen's Personal Account service on the PFR website.

About retirement points 2017

And the last question, not related to the recalculation of the childcare pension. What are the conditions for assigning a maximum retirement score to an employee for 2107? Does it depend only on the amount of insurance premiums paid by the employer for the employee to the FIU, or are other factors taken into account? If the size of the pension point is a numerical indicator of the insurance contributions accrued and paid to the Pension Fund for the future pension, then how much of the contributions must be transferred to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in order to obtain the maximum pension point in 2017?

In accordance with paragraphs. 13 p. 2 of Art. 6 of the Federal Law of 01.04.1996, No. 27-FZ "On individual (personified) accounting in the compulsory pension insurance system" for persons born in 1966 and older, the amount of insurance contributions to finance the insurance pension is taken into account (within the established maximum insurance premiums) at the rate of 16.0 percentage points of the insurance premium rate, regardless of the amount of insurance premiums actually paid by the policyholder for this insured person.

Since 2017, the objects and rates of insurance premiums have remained the same as in 2016, i.e. 22%, of which 16% go to the insurance part of the pension.

The limiting value of the base for calculating insurance premiums in 2017 increased and is 876,000 rubles. Thus, in order to obtain the maximum value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC) in 2017, 8.26 points for the new appointment of a pension, the amount of insurance contributions reflected in the individual personal account of the insured person should be 115772.16 rubles per year, and the wage the annual fee should be RUB 723,576.

Example:

876000 (limit value) * 16% = 140160 (standard amount of insurance premiums in a calendar year). Therefore, if the employee receives 876,000 rubles per year, then this is 10 points. Taking into account that the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 established in 2017 the maximum IPK value (score) of 8.26, then, accordingly, an employee must have a salary of 723,576 rubles per year to obtain the maximum score. Calculation: 140160 (standard contribution) * 8.26 points: 10 = 115772.16 (annual contributions) * 100: 16 = 723576 (annual salary): 12 months = 60298 (monthly salaries).

Our reference

According to statistics, 42,729,000 people officially receive pensions in Russia. This is almost 30% of the country's population. At the same time, 35,555,000 residents receive an old-age pension in 2017. According to 2017 data, about 15,259,000 retirees are officially employed and continue to work. Of these, 14,199,000 are men and women aged 55-60 and older. As the portal pensiaexpert.ru notes, the average pension in the Russian Federation in 2017 is 12,080 rubles 90 kopecks.

Currently, our country has a "point" system for calculating pensions. This means that for each year of work, a citizen is awarded a certain number of points, depending on his salary. All these points are reflected in his individual personal account with the Pension Fund (PFR). We have already talked about that in a separate article. In fact, the number of points depends on the amount of insurance premiums listed by the employer. But all this applies to those citizens who are just going to retire or. For current pensioners, the pension was calculated according to different rules, but, as it turned out, they can count on it.

Points and experience

In 2015, the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ "On Insurance Pensions" came into force, which introduced a "point" system of calculation. Since January 1, 2015, when it began to operate, the PFR specialists began to determine which system for calculating social benefits would be more profitable for a particular citizen (not because they are too kind, they are supposed to do so according to the instructions). Therefore, everyone who went on a well-deserved rest after this date does not need to be recalculated, they were already assigned the highest possible pension. But for those citizens, or rather women who became pensioners earlier, there is a real chance to increase it.

The fact is that earlier, for the time of parental leave or service in the army, citizens were simply counted their average length of service. Usually year after year, but sometimes with multiplying factors. For example, in the North or in the countryside. That is, for maternity leave, most of our mothers and grandmothers received from 1.5 to 3 years of experience for each child. Now, the experience for children is not given; instead, so-called non-insurance points are provided. The state is ready to pay for the time while the person did not work, but was busy with something useful: raising children, serving the Motherland, or studying at an institute.

It would seem, what's the difference: experience or points? In fact, there is a difference. After all, insurance scores depend on the length of service and the amount of wages. Therefore, you may not even earn one point in a year if the salary is low. But non-insured points are fixed.

How many points will be given for a child?

The law stipulates that during parental leave, his mother can receive the following number of points:

  • 1.8 - caring for the first child until he reaches the age of one and a half years;
  • 3.6 - caring for the second child until he reaches the age of one and a half years;
  • 5.4 - caring for the third, fourth and all subsequent children until they reach the age of one and a half years.

In addition, such points have a price that is reviewed annually by the FIU. Since January 1, 2019, the cost of one retirement point has been raised to 87 rubles 24 kopecks (in 2018 it cost 81 rubles 49 kopecks. It is easy to understand that the PFR determines the amount of pension payments by multiplying the number of points that a pensioner scored by their cost.) is used to calculate the supplementary pension for children.

For example, consider the situation:

Anna Ivanovna Bukashka had two children: Alexander on March 2, 1980 and Daria on April 1, 1982. If Anna Ivanovna submits an application for recalculation of the pension for a mother of two children, then:

  • for the first child she will receive 1.8 * 87.24 = 157.03 rubles;
  • for the second child - 3.6 * 87.24 = 314.06 rubles.

Only 471 rubles. But this does not mean at all that the recalculation of the pension for children will add exactly this amount to its payment. In fact, she may receive much less or not receive any increase at all.

Is it profitable or not

It turns out that recalculation is not always beneficial for a pensioner. After all, it's not easy to get a supplement to your pension for having children. No, officials will not miss their own, so they replace periods of work with non-insurance periods according to the new "point" system. This means that the time of the decree and subsequent leave will not increase the length of service, but simply replace it with points.

Therefore, for those mothers and grandmothers who not only raised children, but also managed to earn good money, for example, more than 100 rubles a month in the USSR or more than 10 thousand rubles in Russia, the size of the pension, on the contrary, may be reduced. In such a situation, recalculating the pension for a mother of two, three and even four children will be unprofitable. But do not rush to get scared, the pension will not decrease anyway. If the FIU calculates and understands that the amount is less, they will keep the originally calculated amount.

It is also disadvantageous to recalculate those mothers who did not work and stayed at home with their children. As a rule, they are now. The size of such a pension is guaranteed by the state, so if there is not enough work experience up to this amount, an additional payment is made from the PFR budget. Of course, as a result of recalculation for children to such mothers, the amount of payment may be increased, but it is still unlikely to be enough to increase the payment more than the minimum amount. This means that as a result of recalculation, only the amount of additional payments from the budget will be reduced, and the amount that the pensioner receives in her hands will not change.

So, recalculation will be beneficial for the mother of 3 children, provided that she worked and received a small salary. Such women will receive more during parental leave than for work experience of four and a half years. If there are two children, and the earnings were small, it also makes sense to ask for a recalculation. For one child, this usually does not make sense.

Who can apply for recalculation?

All women (and even men, if they were on maternity leave) who have children and retired before January 1, 2015, can apply for a pension recalculation. All citizens who retired after this date have already received a calculation of payments in their favor according to the most advantageous option. However, they, too, if they wish, can write a statement and ask to count again. What if the FIU made a mistake? And the additional 50 rubles is also money.

Where to apply for a pension for children and for its recalculation?

Payments to a pensioner can be recalculated at the branch of the Pension Fund of Russia only on the basis of his written application. The application form was approved by order of the Ministry of Labor of Russia dated 01.19.2016 N 14n. The form can be found on the Internet or asked directly at the branch of the FIU. You can also take advantage of modern developments and request a recalculation through.

The following documents must be attached to the application:

  • a document proving the identity of a pensioner;
  • birth certificate (s) of the child (children);
  • a document that confirms the child's achievement of one and a half years (for example, a school leaving certificate).

The last document does not need to be provided if the child's birth certificate contains a stamp confirming his receipt of a passport. The FIU accepts only original birth certificates. Therefore, if it is lost, the document must be restored. Otherwise, the recalculation will be refused. You can submit an application in person to the PFR branch or to the nearest MFC. It is also allowed to send the application by mail. If a pensioner knows how to use the Internet and is registered on the website of public services, then an application for recalculation can be filled out and submitted right there. True, the speed of service provision will not change from this.

Now we will consider the main question: how to fill out an application for recalculating a pension in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

How to fill out an application for recalculation of a mother's pension?

How to apply to the pension fund for recalculation of pensions for children? Writing it is not at all difficult. And the principle of its compilation does not depend on the number of children, the age of the mother and other factors. That is, an application for recalculation of pensions for mothers with two or more children will be in the same format as the mother of one baby. But just in case, we have prepared detailed instructions.

Step 1

The first step is to enter the last name, first name and patronymic, indicate the place of residence and passport information, as well as the contact phone number. If the registration address coincides with the place of actual residence, you do not need to write it a second time.

Step 2

It is necessary to put a mark on belonging to the female or male sex.

Step 3

Step 4

We select the purpose of the recalculation from the proposed options. In our case, put a check mark in the upper box.

Step 5

It is necessary to indicate whether the pensioner is currently working, and whether he has other dependent persons.

Step 6

In conclusion, you need to confirm your consent to the processing of personal data, as well as to inform the FIU about all events and circumstances related to payments. You also need to list the documents that are attached to the application.

Step 7

After that, you can put the date, signature and submit the application to the FIU.

So, we have sorted out step by step how to write an application for recalculating the pension for children. What's next?

When to wait for pension recalculation

The FIU specialists will recalculate payments in connection with the replacement of work periods from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the application was accepted. However, the new amount will be paid only if it is increased. If the amount after new calculations turns out to be less, the amount of social benefits will remain the same.

But if you have evidence that they recalculated you incorrectly, or the FIU refused to do it at all, you can file a complaint with the prosecutor's office about recalculating the pension for children.

The excitement around the recalculation of pensions has caused mass appeals of citizens to the offices of the Pension Fund throughout the country, including in Karelia. Pensioners demand to recalculate their pensions under the federal law "On Insurance Pensions", adopted several years ago. The reason was a video that appeared on the Internet telling about the thousands of sums that pensioners can allegedly receive. The head of the Karelian branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation Nikolai Levin has already made a statement that these expectations are in vain - the increase is not so big, and most pensioners will not receive it at all, or rather, they themselves will refuse to recalculate, because now the size of their pensions is much larger.

Specialists of the Pension Fund explain how to get an increase in pension and whether it is worth claiming it at all.

Who is eligible for the raise?

Women who have one or more children (including adults born during the Soviet era before the 1990s or later) and retired by old age before January 1, 2015, can receive an increase by accounting in the form of pension points for the so-called “non-insured periods ”in which they took care of each child up to the age of 1.5 years.

Until 2015, these periods were taken into account only in the length of service of a woman and did not affect the amount of the established pension provision.

For mothers who have gone on well-deserved rest since 2015, both of these options (take into account the time spent on caring for children, how to work or calculate it by points as a "non-insured period") have already been calculated by the employees of the Pension Fund at the time of the appointment of the pension, and most the profitable method according to the new law has already been assigned to them for payment.

Therefore, it makes no sense to apply to the Pension Fund for recalculation of payments taking into account the time of caring for children.

In what cases will the recalculation give an increase to the pension?

If during these periods the woman had breaks from work - in other words, if she was not employed at all at the time of the birth of the child and before he reached one and a half years (for example, if the addition to the family coincided with the woman's studies at a school, technical school or university).

If a woman has 2 or more children - in other words, the more children were born, the more points can be awarded for them and the more tangible the addition to the already assigned pension can be (however, according to the law, points can be awarded for no more than 4 children).

If, when assigning a pension, the recorded salary of a pensioner in the period before 2002, which accounted for caring for a child under 1.5 years old, did not exceed the average salary in the country or did not exceed it by more than 20% (the maximum recorded ratio of earnings in effect before January 1, 2002 year, the law "On State Pensions in the Russian Federation" was set at the rate of 1.2). In other words, if the woman at the time of the birth of the child had a low salary at the place of employment.

As a rule, in connection with all the above circumstances, a woman's pension in most cases before January 1, 2015 was assigned in a low amount (in practice, this is usually no more than the subsistence minimum of a pensioner - in most regions it is 10-11 thousand rubles as of 2017 ).

If such circumstances take place, and the pensioner has several adult children, then the recalculation of the pension may be beneficial to her.

If a woman has every reason to revise the size of her pension, but the results of the recalculation still turn out to be “with a minus sign”, then the employees of the Pension Fund will make a decision to refuse, and the amount of payments will not change downward.

Who is not legally entitled to recalculation?

In addition, it must be borne in mind that there are certain categories of pensioners for whom such a recalculation is generally not allowed under the law.

Among them are the recipients of early pensions who at the time of her appointment did not reach the general retirement age and no longer work (that is, they do not belong to the category of working pensioners) - in this case, as a result of replacing their seniority with pension points, they may lose the right to an early pension from - for the shortening preferential length of service (this, in particular, is true for medical workers, teachers and other preferential categories).

Recipients of state pensions established in a fixed amount (including for living in territories affected by the Chernobyl accident).

Recipients of an insurance pension for the loss of a breadwinner (situations when the insured person himself has died or gone missing, and the pensioner is a dependent family member who is unable to work, the fact of caring for children of which does not in any way affect the pension points of the deceased person, from which the amount of payment was calculated ).

How much can a pension increase be?

The amount of additional payments to pensions for children born depends on a large number of individual factors. Even if two pensioners of the same age have the same number of children, in each specific case, the amount of the increase will differ, since the place of work, length of service, wages and the moment of birth of children is formed individually for everyone.

This recalculation will definitely be beneficial to women who did not work at the time of birth and during the first 1.5 years of the child's life (for example, received an education). In this case, they simply add a new, previously unaccounted for period, for which pension points will be assigned.

If the period of caring for children falls on the period of the mother's employment, then it can be credited to her only in one of two forms, the most beneficial in each case (either in the form of work experience and the salary received during this period, or according to new rules - insurance points). At the same time, the size of the woman's earnings received during the “non-insurance period” will play an important role, as well as how much the length of service will be reduced as a result of such a replacement.

Birth certificates of all children (if they are absent in the pensioner's payment case).

Documents indirectly confirming that children have reached the age of 1.5 years. If the birth certificates bear a stamp on the issuance of a passport to the child, then it will be enough to present only a certificate with such a mark. If there is no such stamp in the certificate, then you can present any other official document issued to the child after reaching 1.5 years of age (for example, a school certificate of education, a notarized copy of the child's passport, his marriage certificate, etc.).

In cases where a pensioner, for some reason, cannot present the birth certificates of children (for example, if the children grew up and left with their documents to another region or even left the country), you can get a certificate of the child's birth from the registry office.

The law does not provide for any restrictions on the time frame for submitting an application for recalculation (in other words, you can apply for a recalculation of a pension at any time). It is considered no later than 5 working days, counted: from the date of receipt of the application with a full set of necessary documents submitted on the applicant's own initiative; from the date of receipt of the necessary documents by the Pension Fund through the channels of interdepartmental interaction.

If a positive decision is made, recalculation is carried out in a general manner from the 1st day of the month following the month of circulation.

Important!

If the periods of caring for children coincide with the woman's work activity, then the recalculation of the pension with the replacement of work for “non-insurance” periods can be carried out only by abandoning the previously established pension, which may entail a significant change in the pensioner's pension rights. In this case, this issue must be approached more responsibly, since after refusal to receive a pension on the same conditions it will be impossible.

Pension supplement for childcare periods

Recently, a lot of dubious information has appeared on the Internet that today pensioners are allegedly paid additional payments for children born before 1990. There is even a spreadsheet spread on social networks that contains incorrect data on the amount of pension increases.

Many people have been misled by incorrect information. The number of applications to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on this issue is growing by leaps and bounds. Therefore, the PFR specialists decided to tell in detail about who is entitled to an increase in the pension for children, what documents are needed for this, and also from what time it will be made, how you can apply for recalculation.

Not a supplement to the pension for children, but a recalculation!

When pensioners apply to PFR offices for an increase in pension for children born before 1990, experts explain that this is not about additional payments, but about recalculation of pensions for periods of caring for children until they reach the age of one and a half years. What's the difference?

As you know, starting from 2015, the insurance period, in addition to the periods of labor activity, includes the so-called “non-insurance” periods. These include, among other things, parental leave to care for each child up to one and a half years (but not more than six years in total). If the periods coincide in time, one of them is taken into account: either work or childcare - the one with which the size of the pension will be higher. It should be noted that not all pensioners are entitled to recalculation.

Who can apply for a recalculation?

Citizens who retired before 2015. Those who go on a well-deserved rest since 2015 are immediately chosen the most profitable option, so there is no need to apply again about this. For the care of the first child, 1.8 points are awarded per year of care, for the second child - 3.6 points, for the third and fourth - 5.4 points for each year of care. Points are awarded for up to four children. The cost of one retirement point today is 78 rubles 58 kopecks.

Thus, based on the value of a point, 1.5 years of caring for the first child in monetary terms is 212.17 rubles, for the second - 424.33 rubles, for the third and fourth - 636.50 rubles each. In this case, the accrued points can be no more than four children. And children can be born not only in the USSR, that is, before 1991, and after.

Why were childcare periods not taken into account when assigning a pension?

This question arises for many people who have only today learned that they may be entitled to a supplement to the pension for children.

Pension fund specialists answer that the situation arose due to the fact that the point system for calculating pensions appeared only in 2015.

The length of service is established on the basis of entries in the work book, and the periods of caring for children are not recorded in it. If a woman at the time of the appointment of a pension provided birth certificates of children, then the periods of caring for children were taken into account in the length of service according to the norms of the previous legislation. And if not, then you can do it today.

Is it beneficial for everyone to recalculate the pension for children?

It turns out that not everyone! It is only the PFR specialist who can determine exactly whether the recalculation is beneficial in a particular case or not, based on the documents of the payment case.

As a rule, those who have little work experience, low salaries and three or more children can count on an increase in the size of their pension, that is, if the woman is a mother of many children. Also, an addition to the pension is possible if during the period of work to be replaced by the period of leaving, there was a low salary or if the period of leaving coincided, for example, with training. With a stable work activity and a full salary, there will most likely be no benefit from recalculation.

What increase in pension for children can you expect?

Each calculation of the size of the pension is individual. The fact is that if the periods of leaving coincide with the period of work, the corresponding period of work is excluded from the calculation of the total length of service. This means that part of the pension established for this period of service should be excluded from the amount of the pension and replaced with an amount calculated on a point system for the period of caring for a child.

It will be necessary to revise the earnings if they were taken into account for the period that is excluded in connection with the recalculation.

In addition, if the difference between the birth of children is less than one and a half years old, then only the actual time of caring for a child will be taken into account in calculating the increase in pension, until the next birth.

Cons of recalculating pensions based on childcare periods

The FIU specialists also remind that a decrease in the length of service for the temporary period of childcare will also reduce the percentage of valorization (ie revaluation of pension rights), which is used to increase the amount of pension for the period of work in the “Soviet period”, ie. until 1991.

And for recipients of early pensions who have not reached the generally established retirement age (55 years for women, 60 years for men), replacing seniority with points leads to the loss of the right to receive an early pension.

Thus, as a result of calculating the possibility of replacing the previous procedure for recording the length of service into a point-based one, the period of caring for children will not give a more favorable amount of the pension and, accordingly, the pension will not be increased.

How long does it take to recalculate?

Recalculation is made from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the application was submitted.

What documents are needed to receive a pension supplement for children?

Recalculation is carried out at the request of the pensioner. When applying for recalculation to the territorial body of the PFR, the applicant must provide:

  • - an identity document (passport of the Russian Federation),
  • - insurance number of an individual personal account (SNILS),
  • - birth certificates of all children with passport stamps.

If this stamp is absent, you can submit other documents indirectly confirming the achievement of one and a half years of age - for example, a passport, a certificate of education, a child's marriage certificate.

Are there any deadlines when you can apply for recalculation?

There are no such terms. Residents can apply for recalculation at any convenient time.

Information on the Internet about a large supplement to pensions for children born in the USSR, that is, before 1990-1991, does not comply with the law, according to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
