The Pension Fund of Russia in 2022 will expand social support measures for Russians and simplify the receipt of payments

In 2022, the list of social support measures will include those that are now appointed by the social protection authorities and Rostrud, said the Russian Pension Fund (PFR) on December 29 website…

“It is important to note that Russians do not need to go anywhere in order to reissue payments and continue to receive previously assigned benefits. The transition to the transfer of funds from the FIU will occur automatically. If the payments have not yet been assigned, starting next year it will be necessary to apply for them to the Pension Fund, ”the department stressed.

The changes will affect payments to children, families of killed servicemen and security officials, as well as victims of radiation as a result of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the Mayak association and other similar events. A separate block of measures is intended for the last category. The conditions for the appointment of measures will not change. You still need to submit an application to obtain them. With the transfer of functions for payments to the FIU, the process will gradually be simplified.

From 2022, the requirement for families of dead servicemen to provide payments every six months to confirm utility costs will be canceled.

You can apply for payments at the offices of the FIU and the MFC. The processing time for most payments will be cut in half; applications to the Pension Fund will be considered from five to 10 days. Transferring money will take the same amount of time.

The Russians will receive the first payments to the Pension Fund for the transferred measures on January 17. This will be an early delivery of benefits for January, which takes place in February according to the standard payment schedule, the Pension Fund specified.

On December 28, the Ministry of Finance of the Russian Federation reported that a new service has appeared on the “State Services” portal, with the help of which Russians will be able to apply to the Russian Pension Fund for receiving payments for caring for a disabled citizen. The service can be used by non-working Russians who take care of disabled citizens, live in the territory of the Russian Federation, and also have a confirmed account on “State Services”.

On November 9, the Ministry of Labor announced that insurance and social pensions in the event of the loss of a breadwinner for children under 18 years old, from January 1, 2023, will be assigned from the date of the death of the breadwinner. You do not need to submit an application.
