Deciding funded pension freeze in 2015, the government is now thinking, should not deprive of the payments already reached retirement age Russians. Will they receive a guaranteed payment that does not depend on the length of service, if they continue to work, may be known today at a meeting with Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev.
The question of a fixed payment to the pension insurance for the Russians who have reached retirement age and continue to operate without registration pension was the only of the nine proposals the Ministry of Finance balancing the federal budget, which was not supported by the government last week. It should be further considered in the remainder of the month time, said Finance Minister Anton Siluanov last Thursday.
Cancel fixed payments will allow the Finance Ministry to reduce the transfer to the Pension Fund of Russia: in 2015 – 30.5 billion rubles. , in 2016 – 96 billion in 2017 – to 169.9 billion rubles., total 296.4 billion rubles., to the draft federal budget for 2015 and the planning period of 2016-2017.
Fixed payment to the pension insurance came under the new pension formula. When the pension formula was discussed in the government, it was assumed that due to the fixed payment will be working pensioners to encourage later retirement. Fixed payment increased by a premium rate at a later applying for a pension (of old age). As of April 1, 2014 its size is 3910.34 rubles.
The Ministry of Finance based on the fact that the measure will not only achieve a balanced budget, but will also make the retirees leave the work at a later age. This topic has been discussed previously, its main idea is that the “insurance pension – this insurance, payment of lost wages,” “as if the pensioner is working, he has not lost earnings, which means it can not pay the pension” said last week the head of the FIU Anton Drozdov (quoted by ITAR-TASS).
The proposal provoked opposition social bloc of the government. September 16 at a meeting of the Tripartite Commission Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets promised to get the president and prime minister bringing this issue to a separate discussion.
The fact that this issue could be raised at the meeting on Tuesday, RBC told two people close to the meeting with the Prime Minister. Source RBC social bloc of the government explained that the Finance Ministry’s proposals to abolish the fixed payment does not meet the pension reform. “It is not clear how many people of retirement age from 1 January 2015 will remain on the job. Savings of 30 billion rubles. – An assumption the Ministry of Finance “, – he said. The official representative of the FIU has refrained from commenting and voiced the position of Minister in this regard.
Proposal of the Ministry of Finance has an economic logic, says the head of the Center for Analysis of income and living standards of the Higher School of Economics Lily Ovtcharova. “The government is on the way, which are many countries where pensioners are not allowed to receive the full pension and work” – she says.
But the solution to the problem of balancing the federal budget could exacerbate the problem of regional budgets, she points out. One-third of workers who continue to work in retirement, have a relatively low level of income. If they refuse to earnings collapse-paid segment of the labor market. “The strategic implications are not so clear,” – says Ovtcharova.
The question of a fixed payment to the pension insurance originated in the government of the need to balance the federal budget for 2015-2017 years. Feature of the budget process this year that the Finance Ministry has sought the basic resources to avoid a front reduction of costs in the budgets of extra-budgetary funds – FIU, FMS and HIF. From these sources, the Finance Ministry expects to receive in 2015, 225.5 billion rubles.
On Monday, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev held a meeting on the budget parameters of the Pension Fund and the Social Security Fund, it raised the question of the payment of a fixed, say two sources in the government. Also, it was discussed Finance Ministry’s proposal in 2015 to withdraw in favor of the federal budget funds in the amount of FSS 55 billion rubles.
As explained last week, Deputy Finance Minister Alexei Lavrov, the money the Ministry of Finance does not consider insurance premiums payers in the FSS. According to him, the money was handed over in the form of several transfers the balance of the FSS in the midst of the financial crisis of 2008-2009. But the fund-raising is not required, and now the Finance Ministry proposes to return them. Olga Golodets required if you do not leave the funds in the accounts of FSS, then at least spend it exclusively on high-tech medical care.
Also at yesterday’s meeting, the question was raised about the minimum wage, which in the estimates last week broke the Ministry of Finance and Ministry of Labor. SMIC is used in the formula for calculating the tariff premiums and directly affects the size of the budget flights. Finance Ministry insists that in 2015 the minimum wage should reach 5860 rubles. Under the version of the Ministry of Labor, the minimum wage should amount to 6200 rubles. According to a source in the government RBC, harmonization will continue today on the budget meeting, which intends to Dmitry Medvedev.
