Deputies of the Pskov Regional Assembly will discuss the new value of the living wage for the region’s pensioners for the coming year. As MK in Pskov was told in the POSD press service, the bill has already been formed, it should be adopted by September 15.
It is known that in 2021, it is proposed to approve the value of the subsistence minimum for pensioners living in the Pskov region at the level of 9,690 rubles. Those whose income “does not reach” this level will be paid extra. The preliminary number of those who may need such an additional payment is almost 27.5 thousand people. The average payout will be over RUB 2,270.
In total, almost 80 million will be required to meet this social obligation in 2021.
Recall that in 2020 the living wage of a pensioner is 9,529 rubles. At the same time, the region is one of those constituent entities of the Russian Federation where the regional subsistence minimum for a pensioner is higher than the federal one (just over 9,300 rubles).
