The document was sent to the State Duma, according to the website of the Government of the Russian Federation. Combining the functions of the Pension Fund and the Social Insurance Fund (FSS) will allow faster and more convenient for citizens to use social services, including by creating unified customer service offices
It is assumed that the Government will be the founder of the Social Fund. The Supervisory Board, composed of representatives of the State Duma, the Federation Council, trade unions and employers, will be responsible for the activities of the new structure.
It is proposed to establish a uniform rate of insurance premiums. The breakdown of insurance premiums according to the types of compulsory social insurance will be made by the Federal Treasury in a uniform proportion for all payers: for compulsory retirement insurance — 72.8%, for compulsory social insurance in the event of temporary incapacity to work and in connection with maternity — 8.9% for compulsory health insurance — 18.3%.
Contributions will be transferred to the fund on a one-off basis.
It is planned to ensure legal, organizational and technical readiness of the fund’s work by January 1, 2023. All citizens’ rights in the reorganization process will be preserved and fully guaranteed.
The reform is being implemented as part of the project to create a social treasury in Russia. It will be based on a digital platform that will connect all IT systems existing in the social sphere. Thanks to this, the state will be able to centrally manage all social benefits, deliver them as quickly, conveniently and purposefully as possible.
