ANALYSIS OF THE ACTIVITIES AND DEVELOPMENT PROSPECTS OF THE PENSION AND SOCIAL INSURANCE FUND OF THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION

Abstract

The integration of the two main structures for the implementation of state obligations in the field of social policy – the Pension Fund of Russia (abbreviated FIU) and the Social Insurance Fund (abbreviated FSS) in January 2023 was the beginning of the existence of a new department – the Pension and Social Insurance Fund of the Russian Federation (abbreviated Social Fund of Russia or SFR). Preparations for the merger began quite a long time ago, however, at the moment, a large number of questions about the functioning of the Fund and its future activities remain unclear and require official clarification. The relevance of this article is due to the need to convey to the population of the country the extreme importance of creating the SFR, explaining its main powers and possible directions for the development of activities in the field of social protection and support of the population. The main purpose of the work is to analyze the legislative framework governing the functioning of the Fund, to summarize information about the current activities of the SFR, as well as to determine the main methods, areas and directions of its formation in the long term.
