Pensions for those over 80. Pension at eighty years old - allowances required by law

Not many people know what benefits pensioners over 80 are entitled to. At this age, older people become a particularly vulnerable category of citizens. That is why the state provides additional social support measures for this category of citizens.

The main help for any person is, of course, financial support. Pensioners upon reaching a specified age begin to receive pension benefits.

Its size is determined by the established basic pension amount in the current year, increased by coefficients related to the number of years of work experience, the amount of pension contributions and the time of retirement.

For elderly people over 80 years of age, the basic pension amount is doubled. This year it amounted to 4805.11 rubles. Accordingly, for elderly pensioners it will be 9,610.22 rubles.

For the territories of the Far North and equivalent regions, this amount is further increased by the regional coefficient. The increase occurs in the following sizes. Also, residents of the northern regions are entitled to additional increases in pension benefits due to extremely difficult living and working conditions:

• 30% for persons who have worked for more than 20 years in territories equated to the Arctic;
• 50% for persons who have worked for more than 15 years in the regions of the Far North themselves.

But northern residents cannot receive both bonuses at the same time. They must calculate which one will be more profitable and write an application to the Pension Fund about which one should be used when calculating the pension.

It is also necessary to take into account that disabled citizens may be dependent on an elderly person:

• children;
• grandchildren;
• sisters, brothers.

In this case, for each dependent who is supported by the pensioner, an additional payment is due in the amount of one third of the established basic pension amount. For the second and third dependent, the payment increases. If there are more than 3 dependents, the payment remains as for three people.

When calculating this surcharge, the following persons are identified who are not entitled to the surcharge for dependents:

• disabled people of group 1;
• people receiving survivor benefits;
• those who receive a social pension.

These individuals are not eligible for the double because they are already receiving double the amount. Accordingly, it cannot be doubled several times. Other pensioners are entitled to this doubling.

Upon reaching 80 years of age, this additional payment also increases by 50%.

Registration procedure

In order to arrange an increase in pension payment after reaching 80 years of age, the pensioner does not need to do anything. The pension fund has all the data about a person’s age, which is entered into a program that automatically calculates the pension for each person.

Privileges

In addition to the established increase in pension payments, social measures to support older people also include additional benefits.

Medical

One of the most necessary areas for retirees is medical care. Elderly pensioners have the following benefits:

1. Reimbursable travel costs to the required treatment location.
2. A discount of half the cost of medications prescribed by a doctor if they were purchased within 10 days of receiving the prescription.
3. Free purchase of discount vouchers for sanatorium treatment once every 2 years.
4. Free home visit by a medical professional.
5. Receiving medical care, treatment and consultation out of turn in medical institutions.
6. Partial compensation for the cost of prostheses.

Established benefits will help pensioners receive qualified assistance while maintaining their budget.

Public utilities

Upon reaching the age of 80, pensioners are entitled to a 50 percent discount on utility bills. To register, you need to contact social authorities with an application. The following documents are attached to the application:

• pensioner's passport confirming his age;
• documents confirming the ownership or right to use the residential premises in which the pensioner lives;
• receipts confirming that the pensioner pays the issued utility bills;
• certificates from the Pension Fund and other sources of income received by the pensioner and his family members.

These types of benefits are established by federal legislative acts, which are binding on all subjects of the Russian Federation.

But in addition to this, local authorities are competent to establish additional social support measures, for example, they can exempt this category of pensioners from paying capital contributions.

Tax

Taxes take up a significant part of the budget of any citizen of our country. Therefore, additional tax breaks can significantly ease the financial condition of a pensioner.

After turning 80, pensioners receive the following benefits:

1. When purchasing real estate, they can apply for a tax deduction of up to 2 million rubles.
2. They do not pay income tax.
3. When calculating land tax, the cost of a land plot is reduced by 10 thousand rubles.
4. Exempted from paying property tax on real estate if this is the only property registered in his possession.

In addition to these federal benefits, many . But the car must have a capacity of up to 100 units.

Transport

At the federal level, legislation obliges regions to provide free travel on public transport in the locality where the pensioner lives.

In addition, regions can establish additional discounts or free travel on suburban transport within the region.

Throughout Russia, benefits on tickets in the form of discounts are provided to pensioners on railway trains and electric trains, and on air travel.

To receive this type of benefit, you must present your pension certificate when purchasing tickets.

Other benefits

In addition to these benefits, working citizens receiving a pension can count on dismissal without work if the employee wishes, as well as an additional two-week vacation, which the employer is not obliged to pay. In addition, the following benefits are provided:

1. Pensioners have the right to register a person who will look after them.
2. Providing free places in boarding houses.
3. To receive housing if their living space is declared unfit for habitation.
4. Free social services.

These social services include:

• food distribution;
• targeted financial assistance, as well as provision of clothing and hygiene products;
• free legal assistance.

In this way, the state provides support to older citizens who have reached old age.

The government annually allocates funds from the country's budget to provide for vulnerable segments of the population. First of all, these include pensioners, and the older they are, the more difficult it is for them to take care of themselves, go to the clinic and buy groceries, and so on. Relatives are often unable to provide the elderly with proper care, and therefore the state provides for the payment of benefits for the care of the elderly, an additional payment to the pension, and various compensations and benefits. These measures are aimed at improving the quality of life of both the elderly person and his family member who cares for him. Let's look at what benefits pensioners are entitled to after turning 80 in 2019.

About benefits and payments for pensioners aged 80

First of all, it is worth mentioning the increase in pensions for older people after 80 years of age - the increase is as much as 100% of the amount of the fixed basic amount (FBR) pension, which, after recent indexation, currently amounts to 4,805 rubles 11 kopecks.

It turns out that the full payment to a pensioner who has reached the age of 80 will be equal to 9,610 rubles 22 kopecks.

• It is also necessary to remember that residents of the Far North and similar areas have the right to count on an increase in payments associated with additional regional coefficients:
• 50% for citizens whose work experience at enterprises in the Arctic is at least 15 years;

30% for pensioners who worked in the North in areas equivalent to the Arctic for at least 20 years.

• Those pensioners who have disabled dependents are also entitled to an additional payment to pension payments in the amount of 1/3 of the FBR per dependent person.
• The following categories of pensioners cannot receive it:
• disabled people of group I (due to the fact that they are already charged a double amount of the FBI);

social pension recipients;

citizens who have received a survivor's pension.

If it turns out that receiving an increased labor pension is more profitable than a preferential one, the pensioner has the right to apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with an application to replace the social pension with a labor pension.

After the pensioner turns 80, from the beginning of the next month he begins to receive a pension that is doubled in size - the citizen does not need to additionally contact the Pension Fund office, since the employees of the institution arrange the additional payment on their own.

• This is done in order to simplify the procedure for receiving an allowance for older people who have reached such a high age.
• Supplements to pension payments for pensioners after 80 years of age
• In 2017, citizens of retirement age who have turned 80 years old will receive the following additional payments:
• increased old-age pension payment;

supplement to pension for providing for dependents;

The law prohibits hiring a minor child on a full-time paid basis to care for an elderly person, since, firstly, caring for the disabled and elderly is considered hard work, and secondly, the time spent on a pensioner is required for training.

Where to apply for additional payment to your pension?

The pension supplement, which will subsequently be transferred to the person caring for the pensioner, is issued at the regional branch of the Pension Fund.

The 80-year-old pensioner himself and his future guardian must come to receive the payment. If an elderly person has limited mobility, a legal representative who has a notarized power of attorney to represent interests can appear on his behalf.

In addition to payments for caring for a pensioner, the guardian will be awarded “pension points” in the amount of 1.8 points per year of work, since caring for the elderly is included in the total length of service and is recognized as hard work.

What documents are needed to apply for additional payment?

An employee of the Pension Fund has the right to organize an inspection of the living conditions of an elderly person who hires a guardian to care for him.

Benefits for utility bills for pensioners after 80 years of age

In some regions of the Russian Federation, pensioners over 80 years of age are completely exempt from paying for major repairs of a residential building.

How much do they pay for grandparent care?

Monthly an additional payment in the amount of 1200 rubles(One thousand two hundred rubles). An elderly person independently transfers money to an assistant.

For citizens living in areas with severe climatic conditions, the amount of compensation payment increases by the regional coefficient.

If you help several pensioners, then everyone will receive an increase in their pension. By caring for five elders over 80, you can earn 1200 × 5 = 6000 rubles per month.

The benefit is assigned from the month of application to the Pension Fund. That is, if the application was submitted on December 25, then the first payment will be due somewhere on March 1-7 of the next year in the amount of 1200 × 3 = 3600 rubles (for December, January, February).

Does the experience benefit the caregiver?

Yes. According to 400-FZ, the period of care for one or more disabled people, is counted towards the insurance period on a par with periods of work (see Article 12 paragraph 6). For 1 full calendar year, the pension coefficient is 1.8 points(see article 15 paragraph 12). For looking after two bedridden patients at the same time, the same amount is assigned as for looking after one.

Reference: To assign an old-age insurance pension, men must be over 60 years old or women over 55 years old, at least 15 years of insurance experience and an individual pension coefficient of at least 30 points (see Article 8).

Upon reaching the age established in the legislation of the Russian Federation, every citizen is entitled to a pension, regardless of length of service or position held. In addition, there are a number of bonuses that pensioners can receive when providing certain documents. One of the increases in pension benefits is that which is provided after age 80. Who exactly is it for? How much is the pension benefit increasing, and what are the latest changes in the law? Let's look further.

Who is entitled to an increase in pension after 80 years of age?

• persons who have turned 80;
• disabled people of the first group.

This surcharge is applied only once. The law does not provide for repeated recalculation. The increase in payment will only apply to the fixed sum insured, which relates to length of service. This means that an increase can only occur to the benefit associated with reaching old age.

Various social benefits from the state are not subject to increase. It is also important to indicate that the premium for a disabled person of the first group occurs regardless of reaching the age of 80 years. This benefit does not apply to military pensions.

How much does the pension increase after 80 years in 2017?

The legislation provides for the division of pension payments into two parts, namely a fixed rate, as well as the amount that the pensioner earned based on his length of service. In 2018, the amount that the state fixes for accrual is 4805.11 rubles. It is this part that is subject to increase. What percentage of this amount is expected? The increase in pension benefit after age 80 is 100% of the above payment.

Thus, the pensioner is entitled to 9610.11 rubles of the fixed part. In addition, if the recipient has dependents, then for each of them there should be an additional increase in the amount of a third of the fixed rate. However, it is provided only for three disabled family members.

In the northern regions, in addition to the right to a double fixed part of the old-age pension benefit, pensioners are calculated taking into account the regional coefficient, which also increases it. It is established based on the specific territory of residence. If a citizen living in the Far North has worked for more than 15 years, then he is entitled to an additional increase of 50% of the increase amount. Those citizens who live in nearby areas need to work for at least 20 years and then the increase will be an additional 30%.

Is a group 2 disabled person entitled to a pension supplement after age 80?

Based on the information presented above, it can be determined that, regardless of reaching any age, according to the latest changes, only disabled people of the first group have the right to an allowance. After 80, all pensioners receiving an insurance pension can count on an increase in their pension benefits. Those citizens who receive social benefits cannot claim this benefit.

Consequently, a bonus for a disabled person of the second group is due only if he receives not a disability pension, but an insurance pension that does not depend on social security from the state.

Calculation of pension after 80 years in 2018 - latest changes

According to the latest news, the calculation of pension payments after 80 is carried out by the Pension Fund without the need to provide any additional documents. The size of such an increase also depends on indexation, which is carried out annually due to changes in the economic situation in the country.

According to the latest data, the indexation rate in 2018 is 5.8%. Accordingly, to begin with, an indexation coefficient is added to the amount of the previously established fixed pension, and then this value is multiplied by 2. Payments for length of service are accrued in view of the second part of the pension benefit.

How to apply for an increase in pension after 80 years?

To apply for an increase in pension benefits, a pensioner does not need to provide any documents. This is due to the fact that this task falls on the shoulders of the Pension Fund, which is obliged to automatically carry out such allowances, as well as indexation of pension provision. Upon reaching 80, you need to apply for another type of additional payment provided to persons caring for a sick or infirm pensioner.

Thus, recent changes in legislation have established that after 80 years of age, pensioners are entitled to a supplement in the amount of 100% of the fixed pension amount, which is calculated automatically.

Is it true that pensions increase after age 80? In general, this is true. However, not every pensioner can count on its increase. The purpose of the increase depends on the type of pension he receives. It is also important to know that in addition to increasing the pension payment, there are other social support measures available to persons in the older age category.

What is due to someone after 80 years?

Having crossed the specified age limit, a citizen has the right to count on the following preferences:

• an increase in one of the components of the insurance pension, which is called a fixed payment;
• a small surcharge for the person who cares for this pensioner;
• other benefits and services of a social nature.

Of all this, the most noticeable is the increase in pension after 80 years in the form of a 100% increase in its fixed part. But it is not available to all pensioners, but only to those who receive an insurance pension. This is stated in Article 17, which regulates the calculation of insurance-type pensions. It is immediately worth noting that more than 80% of Russian pensioners have been assigned such pensions. Therefore, most of them still have the right to expect an increase in their pension.

Group I disabled people stand apart - they are not entitled to such preference. The fact is that when calculating their pension, the formula initially included a double fixed payment. Therefore, the pension amount is not recalculated for them. In other words, a disabled person of group 1 will not see an additional payment to his pension after age 80, since he already receives it in an increased amount.

Another type of insurance type pension is for the loss of a breadwinner. For those who receive it, the basic payment is also not recalculated. However, for them, age preference is implemented differently. At the age of 80, such a citizen has the right to request the Pension Fund to calculate the amount of the old-age insurance pension. It will be calculated taking into account the increased basic payment. And if it is profitable, that is, the size of this pension is larger, the citizen will be able to switch to it.

About the fixed (basic) payment

80-year-old citizens are entitled to double the basic payment. What does it mean? To understand how much the payment will increase for a specific person, you need to know the basics of calculating an old-age pension. To calculate it, the following formula is used:

Pension = IPC x Point Value + (Fixed Payout x Fixed Payout Coefficient)

This formula involves the following quantities:

From this formula it is clear that the fixed amount is only part of the pension. Its size directly depends on the pension coefficient. Therefore, the more experience a person has, the higher his pension.

How much will the pension increase?

Now the fixed amount is 4982.90 rubles. For 80-year-old pensioners, it doubles (if they have the right to such a preference) and amounts to 10,334.53 rubles. If a citizen lives in an area where a regional coefficient applies, then the fixed payment will be increased taking into account this coefficient.

If we simplify everything extremely, we can state the following: upon reaching 80 years of age, the pension will increase by the amount of the fixed payment. For example, a pensioner receives a pension of 14,000 rubles in 2018. He celebrated his 80th birthday in October. After this, his pension will be recalculated and will be 14,000 + 4,982.90 = 18,982.90 rubles.

Next year the fixed part will increase. Pensioners who cross the 80-year mark in 2019 will generally receive an increase in their pension in the amount of 5,334.19 rubles.

It is noteworthy that citizens at such a respectable age will not have to contact the Pension Fund and submit documents to calculate the allowance. Pension recalculation will occur automatically when the citizen turns 80 years old. This must be done no later than one month from the date of his birth.

Caregiver Compensation

It is a rare eighty-year-old person in our country who is able to live completely independently. Many people need help. The person who will provide it can receive compensation in the amount of 1,200 rubles. This amount is assigned as a monthly supplement to any type of pension and is transferred to the pensioner.

For the oldest person there is only one condition - he should not work. But for a person who claims compensation for long-term care, there are much more requirements:

1. He must be able to work, that is, he is not disabled.
2. He cannot work for hire, be registered as an individual entrepreneur, practice law, and so on. However, he may be a student over 14 years of age or a full-time student.
3. He must not be unemployed, receiving appropriate benefits, or a pensioner.

But the degree of relationship between the pensioner and the person who will care for him does not play a role in processing the additional payment. This can be any relative or stranger, including those not living with the pensioner. If the caregiver worked before or after helping the elderly person, then the period of care can be included in his total insurance period.

To apply for this compensation, the pensioner should contact his Pension Fund office. You need to prepare:

• a statement from the pensioner that he agrees to provide care for him;
• a statement from the caregiver that he has been providing care since a certain date (indicating his residential address);
• certificates stating that the assistant does not receive pensions or unemployment benefits;
• work books and passports of both persons.

In some cases, additional information may be required. For example, if the caregiver is a fourteen-year-old child, the consent of one of the parents and the guardianship authority will be required.

Regional features

It was mentioned above that the increase in the basic payment is made taking into account regional coefficients. Therefore, the increase for pensioners, for example, from the Yaroslavl region (coefficient 1) and the Chukotka Autonomous Okrug (coefficient 2) will differ by half. The same is true for additional payment for caring for a disabled person.

Additional preferences are also provided for pensioners who have worked in difficult climatic conditions. When they reach 80 years of age, the fixed amount increases additionally (that is, in addition to the double increase):

• by 50% if the person has worked for at least 15 years in the Far North;
• by 30% if he has 20 years of experience in areas equivalent to the Far North.

The laws of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation may establish additional benefits and guarantees for senior citizens. For example, in St. Petersburg there is an additional payment for pensioners over 60 years of age.
