State authorities will begin to pay these benefits very soon
"Today, the Central Bank has received 522 million rubles for the extra payments to pensions from the Russian Federation," Evgeny Shevchuk told during the Supreme Council's plenary session.
This amount of money will be enough for the pension extra payments during the first half of the year.
According to the President, the sum of extra charges in the national currency will be less than earlier because of the Russian currency devaluation.
The Russian Federation's budget establishes that 1 USD costs 37.7 Russian rubles. However, the dollar exchange amounts to 60.6 rubles in the Russian Federation now.
The state authorities will begin to pay extra money to the pensioners very soon.
