Sverdlovsk Oblast raises pensions after subsistence minimum hike in 2025
Residents of Sverdlovsk Oblast are now receiving higher pension payments this month. The adjustments follow a rise in last year's subsistence minimum for pensioners. Over 15,000 people in the region began collecting old-age insurance pensions in 2025 alone. Pension payments are being distributed through banks on the 13th and 23rd of the month. Those receiving funds via post or home delivery will get them starting April 3. The increase applies to various groups, including veterans, siege survivors, conscript servicemembers, and citizens affected by radiation disasters.
Old-age insurance pensions require at least 15 years of insurance coverage and a minimum of 30 pension points. Social pensions, however, are available to those without enough insurance history, people with disabilities, and individuals who have lost their primary breadwinner. Certain socially significant periods, such as caring for a child or a disabled person, also contribute to earning pension points.
Early retirement options exist for specific groups, including healthcare workers, educators, and those with extensive work experience. By 2026, women born in 1967 and men born in 1962 will qualify for old-age pensions. Experts recommend contacting the regional Pension Fund branch two years before retirement to gather the necessary documents. The pension adjustments reflect last year's subsistence minimum increase for retirees. Eligible residents in Sverdlovsk Oblast will continue receiving payments through scheduled banking and delivery channels. Those nearing retirement age are encouraged to prepare their documentation in advance.
