Russians who stopped labor activity in September, as well as those who have reached 80 years of age will receive an increase in their pension in December, Andrei Girinsky, associate professor of the Faculty of Economics of the RUDN University, said in an interview with the Prime agency.
He also recalled that in January, all pensions of non-working pensioners will be increased by 7.5%. Thus, with a pension of 20 thousand rubles, the pension will increase by about 1,500 per month, and by an amount of about 18 thousand rubles per year. Accordingly, the growth will be greater with larger pension amounts.
Girinsky also indicated that traditionally January payments will be accrued in December in connection with the New Year holidays.
