Starting in January 2018, working pensioners will be receiving their full pension, including every pension raise, from the first day of the month following the month of their retirement consistent with Federal Law No 134-FZ ‘On the Adjustment of Article 26.1 of the Federal Law on Insurance Pensions’ approved on July 1, 2017 . The law will take effect on January 1, 2018.
Please be advised that working pensioners have been receiving their insurance pension and the fixed payment without indexation since 2016. As soon as a pensioner stops working, he or she will be receiving the full pension, including every pension raise that occurred during the period of his or her employment.
For now, pensions are raised and paid in full only three months since the retirement date in accordance with the pension laws in case the employer timely provides information to PFR. The new law will give pensioners their full pensions from the first day of the month following the month of retirement.
