The offer came from “Fair Russia”.
Representatives of Fair Russia have submitted to the State Duma a bill on the payment of an additional, 13th, annual old-age pension.
According to TASS, which has a document at its disposal, an additional pension will be paid in December of this year.
The explanatory note says that every recipient of an old-age insurance pension will receive payments.
According to the head of the party, Sergei Mironov, the very fact of payment is explained by the fact that the state is obliged to support socially vulnerable citizens – pensioners, and the timing is explained by the fact that before the holidays the population often borrows.
MFOs and banks lend money, although the incomes of elderly people are small.
“For obvious reasons, they are still considered attractive borrowers,” Mironov believes, explaining that the payment can “ save ” pensioners from rash loans.
The same document provides for a doubling of the fixed payment to the insurance part of the pension to those who have reached 70 years of age. Now the norm works for those who have overcome the 80th anniversary.
Earlier, Topnews wrote that Vladimir Putin on December 5 set the size of the Russian subsistence minimum for pensioners in the amount of 12,363 rubles. In addition, payments to non-working pensioners will be indexed by 4.8%.
