To improve the lives of Russians, the government is taking various measures. Citizens are interested in what benefits are provided to working pensioners in 2021. We will tell you about the latest news, changes.

Change in the size of pensions

Every year, the Russian authorities adopt a budget, which spells out how much will be spent on state needs and payments for the population living in the country. Due to the financial crisis, the pension of people who have reached a certain age, but continue to work at their workplace, has not increased for several years.

The government decided to increase pensions and assign some benefits to working pensioners in 2021. The latest news made this category of citizens happy.

The budget includes the following payments:

1. From January 1, 2021, a pensioner will receive an average of 17,212 rubles. The payment will be increased by approximately 945-950 rubles.
2. The insurance part will be indexed by 6, 3 percent, and the social - by 2, 6 percent.
3. Pensions for pensioners who continue to work will be increased. The insurance part will grow, as well as the size of pension savings.

Non-working people should expect an increase from February 1. For those pensioners who continue to work after retirement, the next indexation is scheduled for August.

In 2020, the average pension increased to 16,284 rubles, and in the first decade of 2021 it will reach 17,212 rubles.

Additional benefits for working pensioners

Working pensioners who are officially employed can exercise their right to part-time work or to work shorter hours. These benefits are available to the following categories of working retirees:

• in the presence of a disability of the 1st or 2nd group;
• when caring for any family member who is disabled.

If a working pensioner has a disability of the 1st or 2nd group, a number of additional benefits are possible, including:

• property tax exemption;
• provision by the employer of a position that takes into account the possibility of performing work duties in accordance with the prescriptions for a specific group;
• payment of a lump sum cash payment;
• a set of social services at the request of a pensioner can be replaced with monetary compensation.

The set of benefits depends on the region of residence and may vary.

Who will get the pension increase?

The pension size is regularly increased for those categories that do not work. Although the constitution spells out the same benefits for working pensioners, in reality everything turns out to be not quite so. The size of payments to those pensioners who continue to work has not increased for many years, except for the August indexation.

In 2021, the budget includes indexation for some categories. The finance minister announced this at a conference that was held.

The latest news guarantees an increase in pension:

• retirees who have retired, but provide tutoring services;
• citizens who grow and sell vegetables, fruits and other products from their garden;
• workers working in hazardous areas of production;
• people who rent out the real estate they officially own;
• working pensioners who quit and then started working again.

Every year the employer pays insurance premiums for compulsory pension insurance for each employee. In this case, pension points or coefficients are formed.

There will also be an increase in retirement points in 2021. From January 1, 1 point will be 98 rubles 86 kopecks.

How much will working pensioners receive

An increase in the size of their pension is planned for people who have retired due to their age, but continue to work officially. This will happen in August.

The pension will be indexed on an individual basis, the amount is determined depending on how many points a person earned during 2020. The maximum is 3 points, which is 296 rubles 58 kopecks.

Retirement dates

From January 1, 2019, the period for retirement has been gradually increasing. In 2021, men who have reached the age of 62 years 6 months will retire. For a woman, the retirement period will be 56.5 years.

In case of shortage of experience, the age of the applicant may be increased by 1-3 years.

Retirement benefits for working retirees in 2021 will depend on the profession. They are assigned to teachers, doctors, as well as representatives of other professions, where the appointment of state payments is carried out not according to age, but according to the length of service.

Amendments to the Constitution

During the vote, held on July 1, 2020, an amendment to the Constitution was consolidated, which enshrines the annual indexing of pensions. This also applies to workers who continue to work. The amount depends on how many points the person received during 2020.

The amendments guarantee the right to index pension accruals every year.

After retirement, not everyone decides to quit. Many people continue to work in their workplace. Benefits for working pensioners in 2021 remain the same. The pension for this category of pensioners will be indexed in August 2021.
