General information about payments
In January 2020, information about the accrual of “insurance payments” from private funds to SNILS accounts was actively promoted on the RuNet. Any person holding the appropriate card could apply for them. To process money and transfer it, cardholders need to pay a commission on the website. But the pseudo-registration does not end with one transfer, and the amounts for the services of intermediaries are growing.
Note! Such a scheme is considered completely fraudulent and is prosecuted by law.
This is due to the fact that, according to current legislation, no compensation under SNILS from private organizations is provided. In essence, an insurance certificate is simply a plastic card that is designed to register a person in the pension system. It does not perform other functions, such as an account of a financial institution.
Warning! Back in November 2020, the Pension Fund warned citizens against a new type of fraud. The fund stated that “There are no hidden payments, and there is no open access to databases using SNILS or passport information. To obtain such data, including information about the amounts accumulated in accounts, the insured person must personally contact the Pension Fund or send an application through the government services portal.”
Real transfers made using SNILS
Speaking about how to receive payments under SNILS, it is worth noting that real government transfers represent only pension provision. No other accruals+ are provided.
How to check payment of sick leave on the FSS website using SNILS
Important
To receive data, you must also be registered on the State portal; enter your phone number and password.
After logging into your FSS personal account, you can see all your electronic sick notes and find out:
- virtual sick leave is open, closed or extended;
- to what extent the benefit is accrued;
- what dates are considered a period of incapacity for work;
- whether the employer completed the document correctly.
Setting up electronic sick leave in your personal account allows you to receive notification of status changes by email.
In the personal account of the insured person there is an interesting option - a payment calculator. The employee can approximately calculate in advance how much is due to him due to illness.
Officially employed persons working within the Russian Federation are subject to the law on compulsory social insurance. This means that, subject to temporary incapacity for work, they can receive funds from payments made from their salaries to the Social Insurance Fund. In this regard, employees of organizations, enterprises and their managers periodically need to check the status of sick leave on the Social Insurance Fund website. This is necessary to obtain information as to whether it has been paid for or not and whether there is any reason to consider it counterfeit.
How do scammers operate?
To search for potential victims, scammers create identical websites on the Internet. Some of these resources are blocked by law enforcement agencies, while others continue to operate due to the impossibility of tracking.
The overwhelming number of resources are presented as official websites of non-existent structures that help the population receive insurance payments. They present themselves as extra-budgetary funds and change their names regularly. In recent months, scammers have appeared under the following names:
- Social Support Fund;
- Financial extra-budgetary fund;
- Payment clearing center;
- Interregional Fund.
The ways to attract victims to these sites are as follows:
- advertisements on third-party resources;
- advertising in instant messengers or popular social networks;
- spam mailings.
Criminals place advertisements on pirated websites and other unofficial platforms, where they are difficult to track.
Features of “left” sites
To attract attention, an advertisement with text is placed at the top of the resource about the possibility of quickly checking payments under SNILS from insurance funds. Once the potential victim is interested in the information, she is asked to do a check.
View payments by SNILS
We remind you that child care benefits until they reach the age of one and a half years are transferred monthly from the 1st to the 15th of the next month, that is, there is no link to a specific date for receiving the benefit.
The date for sending benefits may vary in different months, but no later than the 15th. In order to find out the status of calculations for benefits (except for benefits for child care up to 1.5 years), you need to enter the registration number (10 digits) or SNILS number (11 digits) without hyphens or spaces. You only need to enter numbers in the form fields; after entering, click the “Search” button. This input format is required!
How to avoid becoming a victim of criminals?
Despite the prevalence of the fraudulent scheme, it is possible to protect yourself from criminals who want to get their hands on funds. You need to follow these rules:
- Do not accept dubious offers. Do not click on links or intrusive advertisements of dubious content.
- Check the information. Before paying for services, look for information on other sites and check the data through well-known Internet search systems that install protection against intruders.
- Stay vigilant. Request documents from persons introducing themselves as employees of government organizations; if in doubt, contact the department’s hotline and clarify the information.
- Do not share information. You should not give access to personal information to third parties about the legality of actions that you are not sure of; scammers will use it for criminal purposes.
The only available payments under SNILS are pensions. Other offers to receive money from a personal account before applying for a pension are fraudulent schemes that aim to get money from gullible citizens.
What information about a person can be obtained using SNILS
The number of an individual personal account in the pension insurance system allows you to obtain a lot of information about a citizen. Among the main things that can be learned about a person from SNILS are:

- receiving attachments to SNILS confirming the authenticity of this document;
- conducting a census by the Pension Fund;
- participation in a social survey;
- When applying for a loan for goods in a store, a mandatory condition may be the transfer of funds to a non-state fund;
- promises to get a job, for which you need to fill out a form, indicate your passport details, and sign an application for transfer of a funded pension to a non-state fund.
When signing any documents at job search agencies or shops, there is often only the second page of the funds transfer agreement where you need to sign.
Typically, such scammers are young people aged 25-30, they present false documents about working at the Pension Fund of Russia, have a pleasant appearance and good manners. If a citizen refuses to show SNILS, then fictitious Pension Fund employees threaten to contact the police.

Attention! If you have any questions, you can consult with a lawyer for free by phone in Moscow, St. Petersburg, and free calls throughout Russia. Calls are accepted 24 hours a day. It's fast and convenient!
- A person goes to a website that offers a way to receive payments under SNILS.
- To search for accrued funds, you must enter your passport number or SNILS . At the same time, the system also skips non-existent numbers.
- Based on the results of the check, a large amount and the names of the insurance companies in which it was accrued are displayed. On average it reaches 150,000 rubles .
- To gain access to the databases you need to pay a fee of 195 or 235 rubles . It depends on what document was used to check.
- Subsequently, under various pretexts, new sums are extorted from the deceived person for Additional services:
- 530 or 550 rubles for personal identification;
- 350 or 450 rubles for a PIN code for protection;
- 1250 or 1350 rubles for a security key;
- 1500 or 1600 rubles to pay for consultant services.
- There are no payments under SNILS , so invoices for additional paid services will be issued constantly until the person realizes that he was deceived.
Site names are constantly changing, some of them are:
- interregional public development fund.
- social fund for public support.
- interregional development fund and others.
It is easy to understand that these are the same pages by their appearance - the design and layout are similar.
On November 14, the Russian Pension Fund published a warning: “There are no hidden payments, and it cannot be simpler than ‘money from heaven’. As well as general access to insurance company databases using SNILS or passport data.”
Thus, there are no ways to check and receive payments under SNILS in cash. Everyone who offers such services is a scammer.
What can scammers do if they know SNILS?
The insurance and savings part of the security is formed from the insurance contributions of citizens received by the Pension Fund. Control over savings is carried out by the Pension Fund or non-governmental organizations. A citizen has the right to choose who to entrust with the management of these funds.
What fraudsters can do, knowing the SNILS number, is to transfer funds from the Pension Fund (or NPF) to another non-state fund. After this operation is completed, the savings are at the disposal of the NPF, which is responsible for investing funds and paying citizens the savings provision.
The main reason why scammers need SNILS is their personal enrichment . In case of successful receipt of funds to the NPF, participants in this process receive a monetary reward from the NPF in the amount of 3,000 - 6,000 rubles.
Many citizens are interested in the question of whether scammers can use their SNILS number to obtain a credit loan . This document is not enough to apply for a loan, but if you provide passport data, this becomes possible.
In non-state funds, investing funds may become unprofitable. As a result, income from their use is lost and the amount of provision for citizens is reduced. The functioning of NPFs is regulated by the Deposit Insurance Agency. In case of unsuccessful investment, the nominal amount of savings must be returned.
How to protect yourself from fraud?
The following recommendations will help you avoid problems with pension savings:
- do not disclose your SNILS number to unauthorized persons;

- carefully read proposed agreements before signing them;
- do not use the services of dubious agencies and credit organizations.

This is possible if the scammers know the SNILS number, but the transfer has not yet taken place. The document specifies the requirement to maintain the accumulated amount throughout the year . Then any attempt to transfer funds will be denied.
What to do if savings are transferred?
Transfer of savings is made upon submission of an application to the Pension Fund and an agreement concluded with a non-governmental organization. A citizen may sign such an agreement inadvertently or under the pretext of completing other documents.

- Writing an application to transfer funds back to the Pension Fund or another selected fund. The application is sent in person or by mail to the Pension Fund branch. It is possible to send an application through the personal account of the insured person. The right to change the fund is granted once a year.
