Additional payment for citizens: new supplementary income starting from May 8, amounting to 6000 rubles
👵🇷🇺 Listen up, Pensioners! Here's a juicy scoop about Disability Pensions in Russia!
🚫 Starting from February 1, 2025, you might wanna consider swapping your regular old-age pension for a disability one — it's got more than just a higher pension rate on the table! The disability pension comes with a tasty extra perk: the Enhanced Cash Dividend (ECD)!
By choosing the disability pension, you could be looking at some serious grub — it's not exactly chicken feed, dude! Here's a sneak peek at what the ECD looks like:
- For group I invalids: 5,830.70 rubles
- For group II invalids: 4,164.04 rubles
- For group III invalids: 3,333.34 rubles
🚀 But that's not all! Boost your pension with a side of Social Services! Just remember, using these services will cost ya something — and it'll lower your ECD by the amount you spent. As of February 1, 2025, the Social Service Package'll set you back 1,728.46 rubles, and that includes:
- 1,331.30 rubles: For meds, medical gadgets, and therapeutic eats for kiddos with disabilities
- 205.95 rubles: For sanatorium-resort treatment
- 191.21 rubles: For travel by land and air to get to your treatment spot
🚡 Oh, and let's not forget about the 50% discount on your housing and utility bills!
Some lucky heroes, like those who served in the Great Patriotic War or who got all beat up during military action, can snag a combo meal — an old-age and disability pension! Just make sure to go through a medical-social examination, and boom, your results will be sent straight to the Social Security Fund, the source says.
