Pension Fund of the Russian Federation

What Pension Fund of the Russian Federation does

The Social Fund of Russia (Социальный фонд России, СФР) is a government state extra-budgetary fund of the Russian Federation, formed in 2023 through the statutory merger of the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) and the Social Insurance Fund of Russia (FSS). It serves as the sole mandatory pension and social insurance administrator for the Russian population, with territorial branches covering all 89 constituent regions of the Federation, including newly integrated territories (Donetsk, Luhansk, Zaporizhzhia, and Kherson). The fund delivers old-age, disability, and survivor pensions; maternity capital; child allowances; workers' compensation from occupational accidents and diseases; rehabilitation services for persons with disabilities; and special social support for participants of the special military operation and their families.

The fund's digital infrastructure is anchored on two core platforms: the Personal Account of the Insured Person (Личный кабинет гражданина) at es.pfrf.ru, which gives citizens access to SNILS-linked pension records, electronic labor book, pension calculators, and benefit applications; and the Insurer Cabinet (Кабинет страхователя) at lk.sfr.gov.ru, which lets employers and individual entrepreneurs file mandatory regulatory reporting forms (ЕФС-1, СЗВ-СТАЖ, СЗВ-КОРР, СЗВ-ИСХ, СЗВ-ТД, СЗВ-М, ОДВ-1, СЗВ-ДСО) using qualified electronic signatures. These platforms are authenticated through the ESIA unified identification system and surfaced as services on the Gosuslugi e-government portal. Supporting systems include EGISSO (Unified State Information System for Social Security), the Technical Rehabilitation Equipment Catalog (KTSR), the Electronic Sick Note system, the Electronic Document Flow for mandatory social insurance, and dedicated portals for students, seniors, SVO participants, and medical organizations. The company is funded through mandatory social insurance contributions from employers and self-employed individuals; it does not operate a commercial pricing model and does not have private shareholders or venture backing.
