Pensioners are one of the most vulnerable categories of citizens. That is why the government of the country regularly makes decisions to improve the quality of their lives. According to the latest news, an increase in the pension of working pensioners is expected in 2021.

The draft of changes in the size of the pension in 2021

Every year, the Russian Government develops a budget, in which it invests all the required costs for the needs of not only the state, but also for the needs of the population. According to the draft budget:

• in 2021, the average pension will be 17,212 rubles. Thus, compared to 2020, the average size of pension payments will be increased by 948 rubles;
• the indexation of the insurance part of the pension will be made by 6.3%, and the social - by 2.6%.

If a pensioner continues to work, then he can be sure of an increase in pension after retirement. The size of the insurance pension and pension savings for working pensioners increases.

Who can wait for a pension increase

As a rule, the government of the country more often decides to increase the pension for non-working pensioners. But in 2021, they can count on an increase in their pension:

• retirees who are engaged in tutoring on a well-deserved rest;
• citizens who officially rent out their real estate or those who are involved in the cultivation and sale of vegetables;
• a working pensioner who, after taking a well-deserved rest, went back to work, but no later than 3 months after dismissal.

In 2021, the value of the retirement point will also increase. Now it will be 98 rubles 86 kopecks. To understand how the amount of pension payments will change in 2021, we suggest that you familiarize yourself with the data presented in the table, which contains information on the indexation of the amount of pension payments in the next three years.

Year	Increase in pensions,%	Pension point cost	Average pension
2021	6, 3	98 rubles 86 kopecks	17,212 rubles
2022	5, 9	104 rubles 69 kopecks	18 227 rubles 51 kopecks
2023	5, 6	110 rubles 55 kopecks	19 248 rubles 25 kopecks

This information does not apply to working pensioners.

How will the amount of pension for working pensioners change in 2021

Those citizens who have retired by age, but continue to work, are concerned about the issue of increasing working pensioners in 2021. According to the latest news, pension indexation for them is planned, but not from January 1, but from August.

The increase will be purely individual and will directly depend on the points earned in 2020. The average amount that a working pensioner can count on will be 261.72 rubles on average.

Non-working pensioners in 2021 will not be able to receive a large pension supplement. This is due to the fact that indexation requires at least 368 million, but at the moment the state does not have such an amount.

In addition, the insurance part of the pension is not subject to indexation. Since 2016, the amount of the insurance pension is 18 thousand rubles, and no changes are yet envisaged.

For whom the retirement period will not change

Despite the fact that the pension reform has already entered into force, due to which the retirement age has increased, there are some categories of citizens for whom it has not changed. Among them:

• employees whose main activity is associated with working underground. These are miners and truck drivers, whose activities are directly related to work in the mine;
• all workers whose activities are related to the hot shop;
• representatives of companies engaged in the study of soil, water resources;
• civil aviation specialists;
• employees working in the radioactive zone;
• seafarers or workers who fish for seafood.

These are just a few categories of citizens for whom the retirement age does not change. After retirement, they continue to work, while they can count on a supplement, which is held in August each year.

Amendments to the Constitution

According to the amendments to be made to the Constitution of the Russian Federation, citizens of retirement age can count on an increase in their pension even if they continue to work. According to many representatives of the authorities, at the moment the pension system is quite confused, and therefore there was a freeze in the indexation of pensions for working pensioners (back in 2016). But the amount of the insurance pension does not change, but the social and state pension continues to grow.
