In Chuvashia in 2026, 417 parents of children with disabilities issued an early pension

In 2026, in Chuvashia, 417 parents of children with disabilities exercised the right to early retirement. The branch of the Social Fund of Russia in the republic monthly sends for these payments more than 8.5 million rubles. The average pension is 20.5 thousand rubles.

If there is one child with a disability in the family, one of the parents can retire early. If there are several children, both parents can use this right by issuing payments for different children.

To appoint a pension, the mother must have at least 15 years of insurance experience, the father - 20 years. It is also required to accumulate a minimum of 30 individual pension coefficients and raise a child with a disability until he reaches the age of eight. At the same time, the age at which the child was diagnosed with disability, and the duration of its action do not matter.

“Parents of children with disabilities need greater support from the state and society. The Social Fund provides an opportunity to get an old-age insurance pension ahead of schedule for both the mother and father of a child with a disability. Moreover, they have the legal right to refuse such a pension in favor of the second parent and switch to another type of pension, said Valery Nikolaev, head of the SFR Chuvashia branch.

For example, a mother can issue an early pension at 50 years, and after reaching the generally established retirement age, switch to an old-age insurance pension on a general basis. Subsequently, the father of the child will be able to exercise the right to early retirement at 55 years.

The benefits also apply to guardians of children with disabilities. Their retirement age is reduced by one year for every year and a half of custody, but not more than five years. In this case, guardianship must be established before the child reaches the age of eight.
