The personal account section of the Russian Pension Fund’s website is now offering an opportunity to file for a federal social pension supplement. The service is on a trial run in a number of PFR offices.
Please be advised that all non-working pensioners whose total income falls short the pensioner’s subsistence minimum of the home region are entitled to a federal or regional social supplement, which raised the pension to the regional pensioner’s subsistence minimum.
The federal social pension supplement is paid by PFR offices and is assigned in case the overall income of a non-working pensioner falls short the pensioner’s subsistence minimum of the home region, which, in turn, falls short the average pensioner’s subsistence minimum in Russia.
All services provided by PFR online are available on the Pension Fund’s website portal, es.pfrf.ru.
