Since 2022, the Pension Fund of Russia has taken over the assessment, administration and payment of a number of benefits and compensations previously handled by social welfare authorities. People will continue receiving benefits already awarded on the same schedule and using the payment details previously supplied. There is no need to reapply: the Pension Fund handles everything itself. However, if a social support measure has not yet been awarded or entitlement arose in 2022 or later, an application must be submitted to a Pension Fund customer service office or a My Documents centre. Application status can be checked through the Unified Contact Centre on 8 800 600 0000. As a reminder, from this year the Pension Fund awards payments to non-working people with children; people affected by radiation disasters; rehabilitated persons; people with disabilities, including children, who have vehicles on medical grounds; and military personnel and their family members whose pensions are administered by the Pension Fund.
