The State Duma at a meeting on Wednesday, February 16, adopted in three readings at once a law on the indexation of pensions for military pensioners by 8.6%. This follows from the broadcast of the meeting of the lower house of parliament.
The explanatory note to the document states that the budget for 2022 and the planning period of 2023 and 2024 already includes an increase in the monetary allowance for military personnel and persons equated to them by 4%. It is noted that additional expenses for these purposes in 2022-2024 will amount to 154.3 billion rubles.
On February 10, the government of the Russian Federation prepared a draft law on the indexation of pensions for military pensioners. Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin indicated that persons who served in the internal affairs bodies, the National Guard and the fire service would also receive a monthly surcharge.
Since February 1, a law on the indexation of pensions by 8.6% came into force in Russia. The average insurance pension increased by about 1.5 thousand rubles compared to the previous year and amounted to 18,984 rubles.
Russian President Vladimir Putin signed the law on the indexation of insurance pensions by 8.6% on January 28.
Arguing for the need to index pensions above the level of inflation, the head of state pointed out that the decisions taken earlier would not be able to cover the expenses of pensioners due to rising prices.
