A small work experience has already become a reason for refusing to designate an old-age insurance pension. This was warned by the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of Russia Maxim Topilin. According to him, in 2017. The pension fund of the Russian Federation has repeatedly been forced to deny pensions to those citizens who worked little or whose employers artificially understated profits and left payments to the FIU. Old people who have remained without an insurance pension, of course, the state will not abandon to the mercy of fate, said Topilin in an interview with "Rossiyskaya Gazeta". They put the so-called social pension. Of course, it is much less insurance. According to the FIU, in 2018. the average size of the insurance pension will be 14 thousand. 329 rubles, while social - only 9 thousand. 45 rubles.

However, in those regions where the subsistence minimum is higher than the guaranteed social payment, the old people will make an additional payment - no one will receive less than the subsistence minimum. But it is not planned to index this payment, while it was decided to gradually increase the insurance pension. Recall that in 2018 g. the insurance pension is given to Russian men over the age of 60 and women over 55 years of age whose work record is at least 9 years and who has managed to accumulate not less than 13.8 pension points, which are calculated from the size of the "white" salary (12 minimum monthly wages for the year = 1 score).
