The priority of the Kherson region authorities in the social field this year is the recalculation of pensions, stated TASS regional governor Vladimir Saldo. He described it as his main task to fully bring the social sphere of the region to Russian standards.
“… First of all, we will decide to ensure that citizens who have this right under Russian law receive all benefits and payments… we will decide first of all on the recalculation of pensions,” Saldo emphasized.
According to the Social Fund of the Kherson region of the Russian Federation, 55,200 people were re-registered at the beginning of this year and are receiving Russian pensions. The pension fund of the region has already allocated 21.818 billion rubles for pension and benefit payments to the public.
Since March 1 last year, pensions in the new regions of Russia (DPR, LPR, Kherson and Zaporozhye regions) have been paid according to federal standards. If residents have a lower Russian pension amount than the payments they previously received, an additional payment is made to cover this difference. The transition to all-Russian retirement age parameters in the new regions will occur by December 31, 2027.
