Participants in the state pension co-funding program credited 5.7 billion rubles of voluntary contributions to their accounts last year. The government contributed 5.5 billion rubles to the program in May 2017.

The total volume of co-funding is always smaller than overall contributions, as some program participants contribute either less than 2,000 rubles or more than 12,000 rubles, and only contributions varying from 2,000 to 12,000 rubles are co-funded.

The personal account section of the Russian Pension Fund’s website is now offering an opportunity to file for a federal social pension supplement. The service is on a trial run in a number of PFR offices.

Please be advised that all non-working pensioners whose total income falls short the pensioner’s subsistence minimum of the home region are entitled to a federal or regional social supplement, which raised the pension to the regional pensioner’s subsistence minimum.
