State Duma Deputy Speaker Chernyshov Proposes Paying Elderly Russians a 13th Pension
A proposal on annual payments to Russian pensioners will be submitted to the State Duma by the end of the year. This RIA Novosti said Deputy Speaker of the State Duma Boris Chernyshov.
The parliamentarian pointed out that the first version of the relevant document did not receive support from his colleagues. However, the bill is becoming increasingly relevant due to increased inflation. “The incomes of the least protected segments of the population, such as pensioners, are not keeping up with the rate of price growth,” he explained.
Chernyshov specified that, according to his idea, the “13th pension” will be the same for everyone. He suggested considering the pre-New Year payment as financial assistance.
It was previously reported that in Russia, starting in 2025, pensions will be indexed according to new rules – not once, but twice a year. Those who receive an old-age pension, a survivor’s pension, and a disability pension can expect an increase in payments.
