He noted that in 2023 there were 8 million working pensioners. However, the figure may be higher, as someone could work as part of seasonal employment, and therefore would not be included in the statistics. The amount of the pension increase for each person will be individual, it depends on the contributions paid to him by the employer and the price of the pension point at the time of retirement, he explained to aif.ru.
The second category is made up of people who turned 80 in July. They will double the fixed payment of their insurance pension. And those who were diagnosed with the first group of disability in July, said Irina Blinkova, an expert of the Popular Front leadership. According to her, the increase will be 8,134.88 rubles. But if the first group of disability is assigned to a pensioner who is 80 years old, there will be no double increase. The increase in pensions will be automatic; there will be no need to contact the Social Fund and write an application.
In addition, civil aircraft flight crew members and coal industry workers will receive additional payments to their pensions. Additional payments will be paid to pensioners if they have a length of service as flight crew members for men (at least 25 years) and for women – at least 20 years.
For coal workers, the basis for increasing pensions depends on the work they performed. Those who worked in underground and open-pit mining for coal and shale extraction and in mine construction must have 25 years of experience, and 20 years of experience for longwall miners, drillers and jackhammer operators, Balynin explained.
Another category that can expect pension increases in August is those who receive funded pensions and fixed-term pension payments. Here everything will depend primarily on income from investing pension savings, the expert added.
