Recalculation on individual grounds

In November and December, the Social Fund will recalculate pensions for those Russians who have individual grounds for this — State Duma deputy Nikita Chaplin told RT. This concerns three cases: reaching the age of 80, being granted first-group disability status, and stopping work.

What changes after age 80

Recipients of the old-age insurance pension who turned 80 in October will receive the increased amount in November, while those with November birthdays will receive it in December. The fixed portion of the payment is doubled: from 9,584.69 to 19,169.38 rubles. In addition, a care supplement of 1,413.86 rubles is granted. «With the generally established fixed payment amount, the monthly increase will be 10,998.55 rubles,» the deputy explained.

Two payments in December and indexation in February

A separate group of pensioners will receive two payments at once in December: the regular December payment and an early January payment. This applies to those whose pensions are credited to a bank account between the 1st and the 10th of the month. According to Chaplin, no application is needed — the transfer will happen automatically, and the January pension will be calculated based on the January amount.

What comes next

The deputy also recalled the upcoming stages of increases: insurance pensions will be indexed from February 1, 2027, taking into account actual inflation for 2026, and the increase will be reflected in the February payment. Social pensions will be raised from April 1, 2027. For context: according to the Social Fund, the average old-age pension as of October 1, 2026 was 27,322 rubles per month, having increased by more than 2,000 rubles over the year.
