Russia left without payment of pensioners abroad
Almost 300 thousand pensioners who live permanently abroad will not receive payment in 5 thousand rubles ($ 77), with which the authorities decided to replace the re-indexation of benefits. This may be the reason for a complaint to the Constitutional Court.
A lump sum payment in 5 thousand rubles, planned by the government instead of the second indexation of pensions in 2016, will be received only by pensioners living in Russia. This follows from the bill submitted to the State Duma of the Russian Federation.
The pension fund pays pensions to more than 288 thousand such persons, the representative of the fund said. The press service of the Ministry of Labor confirmed the refusal to pay retirees living abroad.
The right to receive Russian pensions has left the country, but retained Russian citizenship in the 1998 year, thanks to the Constitutional Court (CC). The Constitutional Court then was guided, in particular, by Article 19 of the Constitution of Russia, which guarantees citizens equal rights regardless of their place of residence.
The adoption of the law on lump-sum payment in the form in which it is submitted to the State Duma, can also be a reason for applying to the Constitutional Court of Russians living abroad, who will be denied payment. But the outcome of the consideration of such a complaint will depend on the legal nature of this payment: on whether it is a supplement to the pension or not.
