The authorities of our country periodically review the system of social support measures for the least protected segments of the population. Thus, Russian pensioners who have crossed a certain age limit are entitled to additional benefits and privileges. Let's figure out what benefits are provided to pensioners after 80 years in 2021 at the federal and regional levels.

Pension indexation

Russian citizens after 80 years old are entitled to an increase in their pension. It is formed by increasing the fixed payment to the old-age insurance pension. For example, from January 1, 2020, the size of the indexed fixed payment amounted to 5,686.25 rubles. That is, in 2020 the increase was 6, 6%. In 2021, it should be 6, 3%.

You will not need to collect documents on your own. The increase is assigned automatically after the citizen reaches 80 years of age. Already in the month following his birthday, the pensioner will receive an increased pension.

At the same time, regional authorities have the right to increase the federal premium at the expense of the regional coefficient.

Who is not eligible for a pension supplement

But not all pensioners over 80 years old can apply for pension indexation. Some categories of retirees are excluded from the list:

• working pensioners;
• citizens receiving state pensions;
• persons receiving disability and survivor's pensions;
• military pensioners.

A citizen receiving a disability pension can apply to the Pension Fund for advice and choosing the pension that is more profitable to receive. For example, if, according to the results of calculations, it turns out that the old-age pension, taking into account the indexation, exceeds the disability pension, then the pensioner can re-register the security upon application.

Additional payment for the care of a pensioner

The additional payment for caring for a pensioner will be 1200 rubles. It can be obtained if an able-bodied unemployed citizen takes care of the old man. The status of a caregiver is not regulated, that is, it can be either a relative of a pensioner or a completely outsider.

In this case, the funds are transferred to the pensioner himself. They are received monthly along with pension payments. A citizen caring for a person over 80 years old is charged with insurance experience.

Tax incentives

Pensioners after 80 years of age in 2021 at the federal and regional levels are entitled to tax benefits:

• exemption from payment for major repairs;
• exemption from payment of property tax;
• land tax is reduced by 10,000 rubles.

Transport benefits

In 2021, there will be changes in the conditions for granting benefits to persons over 80 years old. At the same time, benefits by region may differ. For example, in some areas, a pensioner can get a free travel ticket or take advantage of a special condition for transporting senior citizens. An exception is private public transport.

At the same time, the regions have the right to independently establish additional benefits for citizens over 80 years old. In order to find out what social benefits are provided in the region, you need to contact the local social protection authority.

Benefits by regions of Russia

Additional benefits may apply in different regions:

• discount on utility bills. Moreover, in each region, it can have a different size;
• free medical care;
• labor veterans of Moscow, St. Petersburg and some other cities will receive an additional payment, the amount of which is also set by local authorities.
