In December, pensions will rise for retirees who reach the age of 80, for disabled individuals, and for those who are on holiday at the time. For retirees celebrating an anniversary, the fixed payment to the insurance pension is set to double, increasing it to 15,134.66 rubles, as reported by the Parliamentary newspaper.
Salaries for retired retirees will also see an increase. Pensions for working retirees have not been indexed since 2016, but they will be raised upon dismissal with consideration of all previously missed indices.
Additionally, the fixed payment amount for disabled people in the first group will be increased by 7,567.33 rubles.
According to Andrey Girinsky from the Center of the Faculty of Economics at RUDN University, the Prime agency notes that most retirees will receive their January payments in December. He adds that the real pension increase for the majority of non-working retirees will occur in January 2024 when pensions are indexed by 7.5 percent.
A separate incident involved a retiree from Kazan who, fearing threats against his daughter, sought assistance from military service authorities and the registration office, highlighting concerns about safety and personal security.
