According to the law, people who have reached retirement age (women 55 years old, men 60) receive certain payments called old-age pensions. The size of these payments depends on the experience and place of work of a particular person. There are situations when a pensioner is engaged in the maintenance and upbringing of minor children, in which case he is entitled to a bonus. The state also pays extra funds to people who have a child who is being educated in a vocational educational institution. Surcharge for pensioners for children is made in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation.
Grounds for calculating cash
Additional finance for providing minor children is paid as an insurance part of the pension. The accrual procedure is carried out in accordance with the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”. According to this normative legal act, pensioners who are in charge of disabled citizens are entitled to fixed cash payments to the insurance part of the pension.
The order of the Ministry of Labor No. 958n defines the list of documents required to complete the procedure. Surcharge for pensioners with children of minor age is made only after the submission of mandatory official papers.
Federal Law No. 4468-1 defines the procedure for payments to those who were in the service of the penitentiary bodies, the Ministry of the Interior and the fire departments.
Prerequisites for calculating the premium
It is worth noting that the supplement to pensioners for children is carried out only if they are dependent on elderly people. This means that the pensioner fully supports and provides children. Payment is made only to those people who have reached a certain age and went on a well-deserved rest.
Dependent status, which provides for additional material assistance from the state, is assigned to the following categories of people:
- under the age of 18;
- if training is carried out in secondary or higher educational institutions up to 23 years old;
- in case of disability, payments are made after coming of age.
According to the law, children, brothers, sisters, grandchildren can be recognized as dependents in the family circle. In this case, it is not necessary to prove in court that a person is really on the full content and support.
List of documents
As already noted, an additional payment to pensioners for minor children is made only after all the necessary documents have been submitted to the relevant authority. These include:
- Application for increased payout. A special form is issued by an employee of the body, it must indicate the name of the institution where it is submitted, personal information of the pensioner, information about underage children who are supported.
- Birth certificates of each of the children.
- The official paper confirming the implementation of labor activity.
- Information about the fact that previously there were no requests for an increase in payments.
- The document of form No. 9 is issued in the passport office.
- If the child is studying in an educational institution, it is necessary to provide a certificate that confirms this fact.
- If the child is disabled, a group assignment certificate should be attached.
Supplement to pensioners for children to retirement pension is made only after a positive decision of the relevant authority.
The procedure for paperwork
The above documents must be submitted to the pension fund at the place of residence. In addition, you should write a statement on the recount of funds paid. Usually consider the appeal within 10 days, then make a decision. In most cases, if the applicant has done everything correctly, payments will be assigned. If the employees of the pension fund have identified any violations, they need to be corrected and re-submitted.
In order to achieve the appointment of pension benefits, you can use a more modern way, namely through the website of the State Service. First you need to register on the portal and confirm your personal data. After that, you should select the department "Appointment of pensions" and then follow the instructions. The screen will display the fields that need to be filled. Then, if everything is done correctly, you can send a request. Verification and decision-making in this case will stretch for a month. This method is suitable for people who do not have time to apply to the pension fund on their own.
The amount of additional payments to pensioners for children
To determine a specific amount, you need to pay attention to several factors. It depends on them how much money will be added to the pension:
- number of children under the age of majority;
- retired age;
- the presence of a disabled person status with a pensioner or child;
- place of residence.
So, in 2017, the surcharge for pensioners with 2 children is 4,270 rubles, for one - 3,416, and for three - 5124. This is provided that the person supporting the children has not reached the age of 80 and does not have a disability group.
Those citizens who are over 80 years old and having dependents in accordance with the law receive the following payments:
- for one dependent - 5970 rubles;
- for two - 6832 rubles;
- for three - 7680 rubles.
Now we will consider the maximum size of the surcharge, which is due to pensioners with minor children.
Highest payout
This benefit is claimed by those who have reached the age of 80 and have disability status. Surcharge for pensioners for two children in this case will be 6440-12800 rubles. The exact amount depends on the disability group assigned. For one child, a payment of between 4,000 and 11,200 rubles is due, and for three from 7200 to 14,400 rubles.
It is worth noting that residents of the Far North or territories equated to it have the right to receive a larger payment in connection with the living conditions. If the children have reached the age of 18 and are being trained in a professional educational organization, the additional payment is 1,500 rubles. All these figures may vary depending on the region of residence. To find out the amount that a pensioner can apply for, you need to consult with a pension fund employee.
Maternity allowances
According to the legislation of our country, women who have the status of a mother of many children can receive pension benefits earlier than others. To do this, you must observe some conditions:
- reach the age of 50 years;
- have 5 children or more;
- have at least 15 years of work experience.
However, this category of citizens cannot count on any additional material assistance. But each subject of Russia has the right to provide social support. Payments will be made from the regional budget and controlled by local authorities.
Supplement for women pensioners for children (mothers with many children) in Moscow is from 4000 to 9000 rubles. In the northern capital of our country, the size of payments is slightly less, about 3,000 rubles. It is worth noting that not all regions provide social support for this category of citizens.
Features of receiving payments to mothers with many children
Currently, a woman who has four children can count on an increase in pension benefits.This became possible after the entry into force of amendments to the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”. Benefits can only be received by women who retired before 2015.
Now the points system is in effect. They are calculated in accordance with the number of children, and the amount of the premium depends on this. A woman who brings up and supports two or more minor children is entitled to receive an additional payment to the insurance part of the pension for each child.
If children reach the age of 18 years, but at the same time undergoing training in an educational institution, the allowance is made in a certain order. To obtain payments, you should contact the pension fund with a statement on the recalculation of pension points that were accrued during childcare.
Military Retirement Benefits
Surcharge for pensioners for children is carried out in the manner prescribed by law. The military in this sense is no exception. They can apply for premiums for insurance pensions, social benefits and for long service (reserve soldiers). A military pensioner must write a statement and submit the necessary documents. Payments are made for the preferential category of citizens. These include minor children, persons with disabilities and students of educational institutions who are under 23 years old.
The legislation provides for the following payments (in percentage terms):
- for one child - 32% of the amount of social pension incapable;
- for two children - 64%;
- for three children - 100%.
It should be noted that the payment is made only if the military pensioner does not receive social benefits.
Conclusion
Supplement to working pensioners for children is carried out upon reaching retirement age. The state is trying to help this category of citizens in a difficult situation. Raising and supporting a child is not an easy task. Therefore, various benefits and allowances are designed to make life easier for pensioners and improve the conditions for providing children.
In order to formalize this, you need to collect all the necessary documents, write a statement and apply to the pension fund in the community. Within 10 days, the employees of this body make a decision, and a payment of a certain amount is assigned. It is also possible to obtain payments using the Gosuslugi Internet service. To do this, you must register and create an application. Such treatment is considered within a month.
