State Duma deputies adopted a law on the procedure for assigning pensions in new regions of the Russian Federation

The State Duma of the Russian Federation adopted a law on the payment of pensions and social benefits to citizens of new regions of the country, reports TASS with reference to the text of the bill.

The law will come into force on March 1 this year. All residents of the DPR, LPR, Zaporozhye and Kherson regions will be able to switch to the all-Russian retirement age within ten years.

In order to recalculate the amount of pensions and benefits, you must contact the responsible authorities with the appropriate application. If, after recalculation, the amount of the payment is below the average value, then an additional payment is established.
