Economist Lebedinskaya spoke about the new rules for the delivery of pensions in Russia from 2023

She noted that earlier postmen brought pensions only once a month.

If the recipient was not at home and could not pick up the money, he had to wait until the next month or contact the Russian Post.

“Now the postman, in the absence of the recipient of the pension at home, is obliged to come to him at least twice more, notifying him in advance of the visit,” the Prime agency quoted Lebedinskaya as saying.

Also, from April, only Russian Post will deliver pensions in cash.

Earlier, the press service of the Ministry of Labor of Russia reported that the insurance pensions of non-working pensioners from January 1, 2023 will be indexed by 4.8%.

On December 23, Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin announced that the government would allocate about 1.5 trillion rubles to the Russian Pension Fund for the current and next years.
