In the event of the death of the spouse, the amount of the pension of which was higher, the widow or widow can apply for it instead of his. This was reminded in the Pension Fund of Russia (FIU).
so indicated that the spouse could go to a higher retirement if he reached retirement age or declared disabled. To establish a pension on the occasion of the loss of the breadwinner, a fact is necessary for depending on the death date of the spouse or the loss of the source of livelihoods, and the working widowed pensioners will be deprived of such an opportunity.
However, clarified in the FIU, such a transition is not always beneficial: a fixed payment for the insurance pension on the occasion of the loss of the breadwinner is 50 percent less than to the old age pension, so the widowed spouse will receive a pension not in the amount of her husband (wives). In addition, when moving to retire, the spouse does not have special surcharges, for example, the northern experience. Also do not increase payments when reaching 80 years.
It is noted that a citizen can return to old age retire at any time. This will require appropriate application.
In early September, the FIU was told that some Russians were entitled to simultaneously obtaining two pensions: one through the line of power departments, the other on the pension fund. We are talking about former military personnel, employees of the prosecutor’s office, the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, FSB and some other departments. The second pension can be appointed a military pensioner if he reached the common age and has the necessary insurance experience. He also should have the necessary number of personal pension coefficients and the establishment of a retirement pension for years or disability through the power department.
Earlier in the FIU, they explained that one of the reasons for the wrong amount of the retirement of Russians could be a mistake in the documents. There noted that the pension payments themselves and their appointment affect the position or lack of printing. In order to avoid this, it is recommended to apply to the agency in advance. In this case, experts can pick up all available documents for verification and, if necessary, request the missing information from the previous employer, in the archive or in the social security bodies of another state.
