This, as reported by TASS, said the Minister of Labor and Social Protection Anton Kotyakov on the sidelines of the Eastern Economic Forum.

“Yesterday, September 2, on behalf of the President, payments were made to 30 million 200 thousand of our citizens - in one day.

This, in principle, is probably a record in terms of the number and coverage of payments that our citizens have received, ”he said.

Earlier, the Ministry of Labor said that simultaneous social payments to pensioners in the amount of 10 thousand rubles from September 2 began to be transferred in all Russian regions.

The Ministry of Labor clarified that all charges are made automatically.

It is noted that retirees receiving pensions in a bank account will receive the money before September 5.

As reported, the Russian government will allocate more than 454 billion rubles for one-time payments to pensioners.
