Considering the issue of accruing pensions to Russian citizens, first of all, it is worth dwelling on those payments that residents of the capital can count on. This is very significant, because Moscow has the largest number of pensioners - about three million.

For some reason, it is believed that the pension in Moscow has the highest rates in the country. However, this is not true. In reality, residents of the Far East region have the highest accruals - this is not surprising, because the so-called northern coefficient operates there. Also, residents of the Yamalo-Nenets, Khanty-Mansiysk and Nenets districts can boast of high pensions.

How is the pension formed in the capital?

The payment of pensions in Moscow is in fact no different from the all-Russian practice. Women and men, upon reaching a certain age (55 and 60 years, respectively), as well as with at least 5 years of work experience, can apply for a pension. Citizens who do not have five years of work experience can apply for social benefits. Only for this, the age of the applicant must be 5 years older - 60years for women and 65 for men.

Regional surcharge

Nevertheless, the pension in Moscow is still somewhat different from the payments due to citizens from other regions. For example, non-working pensioners are en titled to a regional social supplement for pensions up to the size of the city social standard or the living wage.

To receive a regional social supplement, you need to provide the following documents:

• civil passport of the applicant or other document that confirms the identity and place of registration;
• pension certificate;
• certificate of the type, term and amount of the assigned pension from the territorial Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
• work book (with a note that employment has been terminated).

Regional social benefits depend on how long the pensioner lives in Moscow.

Pension for "indigenous" Muscovites

The minimum pension in Moscow for those who have lived in the city for more than a decade has remained at the same level for several years and amounts to 12,000 rubles. In another way, this amount is called "city social standard". That is, all those who receive a pension less, have the right to count on additional payments up to this amount from the city treasury. True, at the expanded plenum of the Moscow City Council, it was announced that in 2016 the social standard would be raised, and the smallest pension for a non-working pensioner in Moscow would be 14.5 thousand rubles. This statement was made by the mayor of the capital. The recalculation is planned to be carried out from March 1, 2016.

It is expected that it will amount to 11 thousand 428 rubles.
