The OP proposed doubling the fixed part of the insurance pension from the age of 70

The fixed old-age pension payment should be doubled from the age of 70, and not from 80, as currently envisaged. This proposal was made on October 13 by Vladislav Grib, Deputy Secretary of the Civic Chamber of the Russian Federation.

"Taking into account life expectancy, it is still necessary to automatically increase the existing insurance part of the pension from 80, but from 70," he said in an interview with TASS.

According to Grib, as pensioners age, the costs of medicines, spa treatment and other health maintenance measures are increasing. He noted that such costs, as a rule, require significant funds, therefore, an increase in pensions should be provided for 10 years earlier.

Now, upon reaching the age of 80, the fixed old-age pension payment doubles. This provision is fixed in the law "On Insurance Pensions".

Starting from January 1, 2026, the base amount of the fixed payment is 9 584.69 rubles. After the increase, the pensioner receives 19,169.38 rubles per month, and the increased payment is assigned for life.

Keep the plan: the authorities have set a double increase in pensions in 2027
