The Social Fund has paid Russian pensions for the first quarter of 2026 under treaties signed with Latvia and Estonia.

The portal's digital service enables quick transfer of information so that pensions or allowances can be remitted without an in-person visit. This is especially convenient for proactive benefit assignment, when the entitlement arises automatically, with no applications required.

Employees of the Social Fund of Russia advice clients on how to set up their digital certificates in the MAX messenger. Citizens can now get a step-by-step guide and practical assistance in linking their user profile to the Gosuslugi Portal and creating a digital ID at the Fund's client offices.

Chairman of the Social Fund of Russia Sergey Chirkov, and Head of Rosmolodezh Grigory Gurov sign a cooperation agreement.

Holders of the Resident of Stalingrad under Siege badge are entitled to higher pensions and welfare payments.

In the context of calculating family income, the minimum child support payments will be based on the average salary in the region, not the minimum wage, like now. The changes will affect divorced parents who have not had their child support payments ruled by court.

Starting February 1, the Social Fund adjusted a number of social and insurance payouts received by millions of citizens.

Starting last year, retirees have been able to secure transport benefits and discounts via digital QR codes that replace paper documents and make it easier to verify their status as retirees.

Multiple groups of citizens receive compensations and benefits due to the Chernobyl disaster, including the responders who worked at the Chernobyl NPP or within the exclusion zone and those involved in eliminating the consequences of the accident: army servicemen, officers of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, firefighters, etc. People evacuated from the exclusion zone or resettled to other locations, first responders' widows and their minor children are also entitled to social welfare.

Timed to coincide with the Defender of the Fatherland Day, the campaign is focused on the heroes of the past and the present: fighters of the special military operation, veterans of the Great Patriotic War and generally everyone who has dedicated their lives to the country's defense.
