Hello! I am currently on maternity leave to care for a child. I have worked officially all my working career, respectively, there was a regularity of contributions to the UAPF. Tell me, while I'm not working, pension contributions are paid for me and by whom are they paid?
In accordance with paragraph 2 of Article 25 of the Law on Pension Provision, for recipients of social benefits in case of loss of income in connection with the care of a child upon reaching the age of one year from the State Social Insurance Fund (hereinafter referred to as the State Social Insurance Fund), mandatory pension contributions (hereinafter referred to as OPV) are additionally established, which are subject to subsidization at the expense of budgetary funds.
According to paragraph 4 of Chapter 2 of the Subsidy Rules, the subsidy of OPV in the UAPF is carried out at the expense of budgetary funds on a monthly basis in favor of recipients of social benefits in case of loss of income in connection with caring for a child upon reaching the age of one year.
That is, monthly, until the child is one year old, OPV will be transferred to the mother's individual pension account through a State Corporation at the expense of budgetary funds and funds of the State Pension Fund.
When subsidizing, the amount of women's pension contributions does not decrease during the entire period of receiving social benefits for child care from the State Social Insurance Fund and is maintained taking into account the amount of the woman's income from which the amount of social benefits for child care was calculated.
That is, the size of the OPV remains at the level of 10% of the income received during the period of active labor activity before going on maternity leave. Thus, the contribution of 10% includes:
4% - from the State Social Insurance Fund that makes payments for child care (contributions of the State Social Insurance Fund);
6% - from the republican budget (subsidy).
