The lawyer commented on the level of indexation of pension payments.
Three categories of citizens of the Russian Federation will increase their pensions from December 1.
The accrual will take place automatically.
According to MK, citizens who worked until August of this year and quit, as well as all those who applied for recalculation, and citizens who turned 80 will receive a supplement to pensions.
All of them will receive 6044 rubles as a one-time annual payment. Thus, this payout will double.
Commenting on the indexation of pension payments, lawyer Artem Zelenkov said that the level of indexation for Russians of retirement age, taking into account planned inflation of 8.1% and current indicators of a decrease in the purchasing power of the population, could reach 9%.
However, more detailed data will be available only in December.
Such indicators are given in the instruction of Russian President Vladimir Putin, according to which the head of state ordered the government to develop measures to index payments to pensioners above the inflationary mark.
It also assumes that by 2022 the average annual pension will reach the level of 17 thousand rubles, by 2023 – 18 thousand rubles, and by 2024 – 18.7 thousand rubles.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that a bill on the indexation of all pensions not lower than inflation has been submitted to the State Duma.
