“The conditions for the appointment of measures do not change, for their registration, as before, you need to submit an application.

At the same time, with the transfer of functions on payments to the Pension Fund of Russia, their receipt will be gradually simplified, ”the PFR said in a statement.

In many respects, the simplification will occur due to the fact that the fund will confirm the right to support measures according to the principles of social treasury.

It is noted that the FIU will request a number of data from other departments, which will remove the obligation from citizens to collect documents.

The measures of support provided by the Pension Fund from 2022 will cover more than 2 million people.

The estimated amount of payments to citizens during the year is 120 billion rubles.

Earlier, the PFR clarified the procedure for paying pensions for January for residents of the Moscow region.

From January 1, 2022, new rules for the payment of pensions will come into force in Russia, approved by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection and enshrined in the order of the department. 

In particular, pensioners will be able to receive the funded part of payments from the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR), if it was previously paid by a non-state pension fund that ceased operations.
