In the Public Chamber proposed to introduce payment for the Day of the elderly

The news agency RIA Novosti reports on the initiative, which on the eve of the Day of the Elderly Person was made by Deputy Secretary of the Federal Public Chamber Vladislav Grib.

He proposed to pay all pensioners on October 1 (that is, by the Day of the elderly person) an annual cash gift in the amount of at least 10 thousand rubles.

Vladislav Grib also proposed to introduce additional payments for elderly citizens starting from the age of 70.

The amount of payment, according to Grib, should depend on age, and also take into account the length of service, the number of children and grandchildren, the merits of an elderly person:

I believe that people in their 70s, 75s, 80s, 85s, 90s, 100s need to make small payments to these anniversary dates. Because, first of all, it is a holiday, it is respect on the part of the state and society for the elderly, for those who have worked for the benefit of our Motherland for many years, paid taxes, social contributions, made their labor contribution to the economy of our country, raised and raised children, the deputy secretary of the Public Chamber said.

The initiative is tempting, and many Kostroma pensioners will surely like it. But don't be fooled. The Civic Chamber is a purely advisory body and all its initiatives are nothing more than good wishes that do not affect anything.
