In August of this year, I retired, but they calculated it differently for me than for my husband, who retired last year. What is it connected with?
You are right, since April 1, 2021, the methodology for calculating the monthly payment from the UAPF has changed.
In accordance with the new Methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments, the annual amount of pension payments in the first year is calculated as the product of the amount of pension savings and the pension savings payment rate - 6.5%.
In subsequent years, the amount of the monthly pension payment will be recalculated by annually increasing the amount of the monthly pension payment for the previous year by the indexation rate of pension payments - 5%.
For example, your amount of pension savings is 6,000,000 tenge.
Annual amount of pension payments in the first year: 6,000,000*6.5%=390,000 tenge;
The amount of the monthly pension payment in the first year: 390,000/12 months = 32,500 tenge.
The amount of the monthly pension payment in the second year: 32,500+ 32,500*5%=34,125 tenge.
In addition, the Methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments provides for correction multipliers for recipients of certain categories: people with disabilities of groups 1 or 2, established indefinitely, as well as people who worked in hazardous and hazardous industries, whose savings are formed at the expense of mandatory professional pension contributions in aggregate of at least sixty months. In this case, for persons who meet more than one of the above conditions, the correction factor with the largest value is applied.
It should be noted that the specified methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments applies to relations that arose from April 1, 2021.
For persons who exercised their right to receive pension payments from the UAPF before January 1, 2018, the annual pension payment is at least thirty times the minimum pension (in 2021 30 x 43,272 = 1,298,160 tenge). Payments are made according to the previously selected schedule.
For persons who exercised their right to receive pension payments from the UAPF from January 1, 2018, to March 31, 2021 (inclusive), according to the new Methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments, from January 1, 2022, monthly pension payments will be increased by the indexation rate of pension payments in 5%, followed by annual indexation.
Thus, the new Methodology for calculating the amount of pension payments takes into account the specifics of the working conditions and health of recipients, and will also help increase the annual amount of payments from the UAPF.
