Deputy Bessarab: to receive a high pension, you need to work hard
First of all, in order to have a high pension, you need to work, said Svetlana Bessarab, a member of the State Duma Committee on Labor, Social Policy and Veterans Affairs. She named a way to make more payments in old age in a conversation with Lenta.ru.
To qualify for a high pension, the deputy advised working hard, developing the appropriate length of service and receiving the required number of pension points.
Of course, it’s also good to protect yourself and put off retirement savings if possible. Now the state provides the opportunity for co-financing, and these opportunities must be taken advantage of, because it is approximately 360 thousand rubles
The average old-age pension for non-working pensioners today is above 23 thousand rubles, the parliamentarian said. Military pensions for former military personnel and security forces, according to her, amount to approximately 41,400 rubles.
Bessarab emphasized that today there are no pensions below the subsistence level of a pensioner in every subject of the Russian Federation.
“If a pensioner receives a lower pension, it is usually a social pension. That is, the person either did not work, or worked, but did not develop seniority. Unfortunately, this often happens when a person works in shadow employment, receives a salary in an envelope, does not gain the required number of points, but even in this case, the state pays him extra up to the subsistence level from the federal budget or from the regional budget, depending on whether it is higher or lower regional cost of living compared to the federal one,” explained Lenta.ru’s interlocutor.

Earlier it became known that indexation of pensions for Russian pensioners could begin on January 1, 2025. The explanatory note to the draft budget of the Social Fund of Russia (SFR), submitted to the State Duma, suggests that pensions will be indexed by 7.3 percent, which is the forecast level of inflation. The increase will affect both working and non-working pensioners, and for the latter this will be the first indexation since 2015.
