The right to receive a simultaneous pension for long service through the power department and the labor part of the old-age insurance pension is for pensioners who have served in the military, served in the internal affairs bodies, Federal Service security, institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, as well as pensioners from among the employees of the prosecutor's office and customs officers with work experience in the "citizen".

"Second pension" for military pensioners is assigned under the following conditions:

- the establishment of a pension for long service or disability through law enforcement agencies;

- the presence of a minimum insurance experience, not taken into account when assigning a pension through the power department (in other words, experience in a "citizen"). In 2015, it is 6 years, and starting from January 1, 2016, it will increase annually by 1 year to 15 years in 2024;

- reaching the generally established age of exit for insurance pension(for men - 60 years, for women - 55 years).

To assign a part of the labor pension, military pensioners must contact the authorities pension fund Russian Federation at the place of registration. If the address of residence is not confirmed by registration, then at the place of actual residence. You must submit an application and the following documents:

- passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;

— insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance;

- a certificate from the body providing pensions through the power department, which contains information on the date of the pension, the periods of service preceding the appointment of the disability pension, or the periods of service, work and other activities taken into account when determining the amount of the pension for long service;

— documents confirming the “civil experience” (employment book, employment contract, certificates issued by employers or relevant state (municipal) bodies, etc.).

Military pensioners with periods of service in civilian institutions prior to 2002 may submit proof of average monthly earnings for any 60 consecutive months prior to January 1, 2002.

When calculating the length of service required for the appointment of an old-age insurance pension to citizens receiving a pension through the line of law enforcement agencies, all periods that were included in the length of service, including those that do not affect the size of these pensions for years of service.

For your information, we inform you that paragraph 2 of Article 2 of the Federal Law of July 21, 2014 No. 208-FZ “On the Peculiarities of Pension Provision for Citizens of the Russian Federation Living in the Territories of the Republic of Crimea and the Federal City of Sevastopol” provides that when applying for citizens of the Russian Federation who permanently resided as of March 18, 2014 on the territory of the Republic of Crimea or on the territory of the federal city of Sevastopol, for the appointment of pensions and (or) other payments established for pensions, such pensions and (or) payments are assigned from 01.01.2015, but not earlier than from the day emergence of the right to a pension and (or) payment. In this case, an application for the appointment of a pension and (or) payment can be submitted in the period from January 01 to December 31, 2015 inclusive.

How is the transition from one pension to another regulated?

Need advice on this issue.

If I refuse military pension and I will switch to a civil pension. If I am not satisfied with the size of the civil pension, will I be able to switch back to a military pension. The FIU said that in order to find out the exact amount of the accrued pension, I need to give up the military pension and write an application to the FIU for the calculation of a civil pension, and only then can I find out the exact amount of the accrual.

You do not need to switch to a civilian pension, meaning the transition to an old-age pension is not relevant, a military pension is more significant.

Law No. 156-FZ of July 22, 2008, according to which military pensioners began to enjoy the right to receive a civil pension in addition to the military pension in its insurance part.

Given the significant increase in military pensions in last years and the planned further increase, the pension of the military with the additional payment of the insurance part of the civil pension becomes larger than the size of the old-age pension. The indicated law extends its effect from January 1, 2007, but not earlier than from the day the right to a civil pension arises.
To receive two pensions at the same time, you must:
- so that your civilian experience is at least five years and during these five years the employer pays insurance premiums (it does not matter before or after the formation of military experience);
- you have reached the general retirement age.
- insurance certificate of state pension insurance;
- documents capable of proving identity, place of residence, age and citizenship;
- Documents that confirm the length of service (certificates from places of work, work book, etc.);
- certificate of average monthly salary for any consecutive 5 years until January 01, 2002 (excluding 2000 - 2001, for this salary certificate is not required, and the average monthly salary will be calculated by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation according to personal accounting data in the Pension Fund database);
- documents evidencing changes in surname, name, patronymic (if any);
- a certificate from the place of service on the periods of military service, or other activities that were taken into account when calculating the military pension);

Good luck! Sincerely, Julia!

Clarification of the client

Thank you for your answer. I know all these nuances. I also know about the average pension ratio. The average is the average. When leaving the district Far North I lose 60% of my military pension (I don't have 15 years of northern military service).

To receive a second pension (not such big payments there), I do not have 5 years of civil service after my discharge from the army.

That's why I'm interested in the answer to the previously asked question.

Switch to a civil pension

An increase in the size of military pensions by an average of 70 ... 80% from January 2012 - this is the happiest event in the life of military pensioners for the entire period of Russia's existence as an independent state (since 1991).

But, most people who receive today or plan to receive a military pension in the future have certain doubts: why military pensions were increased only by 70...80% while the monetary allowance of servicemen increased by 2.5...3 times? An increase in military pensions by 70...80% - is it a lot or a little, is it good or not? And, the next question immediately arises, and when will military pensioners receive at least 40% of the monetary allowance of military personnel?

We will continue to search for answers to these important questions for all military personnel.

In an exclusive interview Russian newspaper On April 22, 2010, Deputy Minister of Defense for Financial and Economic Affairs Vera Chistova was awarded the problem of the transition of military pensioners to a labor pension. An excerpt from the interview: “... according to official statistics, as of April 1, 2010, the average labor pension in the country is 8.2 thousand rubles, and our veteran military personnel earn an average of only 8 thousand. Unfortunately, they have become poorer than their civilian counterparts. At the end of last year, we repeatedly reported to all authorities that began a massive transition from military pensions to labor. From the point of view of social protection of military pensioners, this is an alarming trend. »

The term " alarming trend"too soft for the current situation. Let's see why. The average length of service of the military and equivalent pensioners is about 30 years (according to Rosstat, on average, 81% of pensions are paid and, accordingly, the average length of service of military pensioners is just over 30 years.

Taking into account the fact that many servicemen have preferential length of service, albeit an average of 3 ... 5 years, the average calendar service life of military pensioners is 25 ... 27 years. That is average age retired does not exceed 45 years. Then it turns out that for the remaining 15 s small years before receiving a labor pension (men), many military pensioners earn more civilian pensions than for longer service in the army!

In this way, the trend of a massive transition from the military to labor pensions is not just alarming, but critical(maybe catastrophic?). Who wants to serve in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation if he knows that the pension is larger in civilian life and it can be earned faster? It would be interesting to know: Has the process of transition of military pensioners to a labor pension completely stopped since January 2012 or not? One of the next surveys on our website will be devoted to this issue.

Today, in our country as a whole, ratio of average pension to average salary for state employees does not exceed, as a rule, 25% ( World Organization Labor recommends not less than 40-70%). For reference: in 2000 the ratio of the average pension to the average salary was 30…35%.

However civil servants (civil officials) made an exception for themselves. After working for 15 years at his "harmful and hard" job, they are guaranteed to receive a pension of 45% of their salary, that they had when they retired (note that this salary will be higher than the average for the entire time the official worked). If the experience of "service to the people" exceeds 15 years, this ratio gradually (by 3% per year) increases, up to 75%.

It seems that the security of our Country is somewhere in the background, but completely different issues are quickly resolved: the mine collapsed (this, of course, is a grave tragedy, but this has been happening regularly for hundreds of years since the construction of mines began) - an ordinary miner (or his family) is promised (V.V. Putin) a pension more than a colonel before 2012. If he entered the civil service, then the pension will be earlier and more than for service in the RF Armed Forces. It is even better to be a doctor or a teacher, in many cities they already have more pensions than military pensioners who have served as contract soldiers and sergeants for 20 years. Let's not compare military pensioners with deputies (after all, people's deputies!), and even more so with the private sector, where salaries and pensions depend on the skills, abilities and business qualities of workers and are not limited to limits that are understandable for budgetary pensioners ...

Such a situation with the level of military pensions in our country, which developed by the end of 2011, was not in the Soviet years either. For example, in the stagnant 70s, a major general's pension was 350 rubles a month, and a colonel's was 250 rubles. These same 250 rubles corresponded to the salary (and not the pension, which was equal to 130 rubles!) of a highly paid city (regional) official! (according to modern concepts of the minister of the city (regional) administration).

Lyrical digression dedicated to the pensions of officials

In Perm, for example, they tried to deal with the pensions of ex-officials. And it turns out that three hundred former officials receive more pensions than generals (until January 2012).

And there are many such regions and territories in our country. With such high salaries of civilian officials (their number, for example, at the beginning of 2005 was 1 million 318 thousand 600 people), it turns out that there are dozens of times more posts that, in terms of accrued pensions, correspond to generals in the Armed Forces.

For reference: in the entire Soviet Union, there were half as many officials as in the Russian Federation in 2005: in 1990, there were 663,000 bureaucrats in the USSR.

...Galina Svetkina, ex-minister social protection of the regional government, receives a pension almost twice as much as the Hero Soviet Union Ivan Vanichkin. He crossed the Dnieper with his anti-tank gun. On the captured patch of land, he fought off attacks for eighteen days. Only one remained. Vanichkin was shell-shocked by the shell explosion and covered with earth. When they dug it up, they thought it was not a tenant…. But he survived, got a Hero. About him and his friends, "Battalions ask for fire" were written.
Vanichkin receives the usual pension plus 25 thousand as a Hero of the Soviet Union. And the former official of regional significance, Svetkin, is about 50 ... How can one say about such a pension to war veterans and home front workers who shed blood on the battlefields or did not leave the machines for days?

... The deputies of the Samara provincial Duma have a pension, taking into account deputy and ordinary seniority, from 20 to 30 thousand rubles, and the former turner Ivan Goncharov, who, as a boy, stood at the machine during the war years and worked for 53 years, 6 months, 8 days, became disabled the second group - receives 5.5 thousand rubles. He asked for a raise so that at least there would be enough for medicines. Useless. Everyone politely explains to him - from Finance Minister Kudrin to an employee of the Pension Fund - that an increase in his pension is detrimental to the Russian economy, that the flywheel of inflation will spin and it will be worse for everyone, that the increase in pensions on average in the country amounted to as much as 20 percent ... It is understandable why familiar officials avert their eyes and keep quiet when the conversation turns to their pensions.. Not only the state, but they themselves protect the final secret of their personal working life.

Let's look at the growth of the average civil labor pension since 2000 (Rosstat and PFR). At the same time, we must not forget that the average old-age labor pension is like the average temperature in a hospital, so it includes pensions from state employees, civil servants (officials), and the private sector.

Let us analyze the growth of average pensions for servicemen since 2000. Indexation of military pensions in 2012 is not provided, so the pension of military personnel during 2012 will remain at the same level as in January.

The average military pension in 2012 is calculated based on the results of a survey on our website "How much has your military pension increased since January 2012?". The increase in the average pension of military personnel from January 1, 2012 amounted to 70 ... 80%, which is even higher than the leaders of our country promised earlier.

Brief conclusions.

1. Average military pensions in 2000 three times the labor.

2. In 2010, the average pensions of the military caught up with civilians.

3. Average military pensions in 2012 will exceed civilian pensions by about 1.65 times (by 65%). This is more than the authorities promised us (30...40%).

4. In 2012, average military pensions for privates and sergeants (contract servicemen) approached civilian pensions.

5. The percentage ratio of labor pensions and salaries of state employees remains at the level of about 25% (military pensions and salaries of military personnel are at an even lower level - 20%), while for pensioners-officials since 2004 the ratio of pensions and salaries is at level of 45 ... 75% with a length of service of 15 to 25 years. In order to get closer to the pensions of officials and achieve a ratio of military pensions and monetary allowances of military personnel of at least 40%, according to the principles laid down in the new laws, we will have to wait another 23 years. That is, the overwhelming majority of today's military pensioners, unfortunately, will not be able to live to see a full pension.

Comment. The size and principles of calculating pensions for civil officials at the federal and, especially, regional levels require additional consideration.

Nikolai: 01/15/2011
I fully agree with Eugene. It is incomprehensible to the mind what is happening in our country. And everything comes from... "United Russia"... I am a military pensioner, I was in Afghanistan, I have 26 years of service, and what is the result? But nothing. I looked on the Internet how much a military pensioner in the United States earns and almost fell off his chair. With our money - 75 thousand rubles - not a fig to ourselves, so that we get it like that. And no matter how much “Fair Russia” and its like-minded people speak in our favor, their attempts will be cut down by “United Russia”, there are still more of them, and they vote only for projects that are beneficial to it. Well, nothing, the elections are coming soon and we will see who has wider riding breeches (as one hero in the film said). And until we elect a new president and prime minister, there will be no sense, they are only verbally promising.

Leonid: 01/25/2011
In our country, the Constitution does not work in terms of equality of citizens (the one who has more rights is right). Putin is lying when he says that the situation of veterans and pensioners is always a priority for the country's leadership. The priority for the current leadership of the country and deputies has always been and will be to increase their own well-being and the well-being of officials. This is evidenced by salaries and pensions of officials.

Anatoly: 01/31/2011
An interesting philosophy among officials is the habit of averaging everything. All over the country they broadcast that the pension of the military and those equivalent to them is more than 7 thousand. Good excuse. And why not start from the minimum? Taking into account the additions of 2010, the pension is about 5 thousand. But every citizen is a person and why does he need this average statistics. In the same way, almost everyone calculates the average, both salaries and the country's economy in general.
This is a gross mistake that does not give a clear idea of ​​what is happening in reality. But it seems to be beneficial for certain circles. Indeed, why not start from the minimum? There would be a specific point (rather than a floating point, which gives a vague idea of ​​the state of the whole country) from which to proceed. This is a question for our government - will they answer?

Alexander: 02/15/2011
Since February 01, 2011, the average civil labor pension amounted to 8886 rubles. Military retirees are resting. “My father said before his death: “Abdullah, I lived my life as a poor man, and I want God to send you an expensive robe and a beautiful harness for your horse.” I waited a long time, and then God said: "Get on a horse and take what you want, if you are brave and strong."

Military pensioners!
It is time to fight for your pensions by any legal means!
1. Do not under any circumstances vote for either V. Putin or D. Medvedev!
2. Protest and protest again! Up to going to organized demonstrations and rallies!
The authorities deliberately did not pay us additional pensions, subtly using various allowances that are not included in the base that forms the pension. V. Putin modestly called this mockery “distortions”. And as if he himself had nothing to do with it! As if the Martians did it! And he, supposedly so good, is now struggling with it! Now, for someone, even 70% will probably seem like just a “fabulous” allowance! And the difference between military and civilian pensions of 25% is simply “the height of justice”!
Do not fall for another sophisticated deception! ...

I agree completely, United Russia should not get our votes in the elections. They are tired of stories. Our response to their attitude must be adequate.

Andrey: 02/22/2011
All of the above is true! But things are still there! We ourselves allowed them to power. I can grind my teeth in anger as much as I want, but I can’t fix anything. Of course, I won’t vote for United Russia, but look around - by and large, young people don’t care, it would be something to drink, civil pensioners were given a handout, in the form of an increase of 200 rubles, and they are satisfied, and even on TV they show how well we live. So the main part will still be for these United Russia members…

Oleg Alekseevich, reserve colonel. : 22.02.2011
Very good article. Everything is written correctly. with specific examples, names and numbers. Such articles should be immediately sent to the website of the President, the Government, the Ministry of Defense and the Prosecutor's Office - let them read it - maybe they will feel ashamed. As for which pension to choose, civil or military (state), as a lawyer I will say that at present there are two laws in the Russian Federation - “On State pension provision” and “On labor pensions” and one law does not exclude the other. In 2007, military pensioners (including officials who came here, how could it be without them, in general, all those who receive pensions for long service under the Federal Law “On State Pensions” - judges, prosecutors, deputies, etc., although it was a military pensioner who was sued - God bless him and many thanks from all of us) they sued (even had to go to the Constitutional Court - shame on the leaders of the country!) The right to receive along with (and not a choice, as it was before) with a military (state) pension and labor (although for some reason only the insurance part - it’s also not clear why not in full - how much you earned in civilian life - you get so much according to the Federal Law “On Labor Pensions”).
We adopt normal laws - you read, everything seems to be correct and fair - and then the officials will distort everything in such a way that it turns out according to Chernomyrdin - they wanted the best, but it turned out as always. Enough of this leveling! It is necessary to raise not raw material oligarchs, but oligarchs of labor and finally begin to fulfill the fundamental principle of justice - from each according to his ability to each according to his work. A man went into the army at the age of 18 - served the prescribed 20-30 years - get a decent military pension in full (50-85% of active colleagues in arms, and without any tricks - various additional payments, bonuses and increases, but as expected - if in the army of a new look, a colonel will receive 150,000 rubles - and this is 3 times less than a NATO colonel, but not to fat, so a retired Russian colonel should receive 75,000-127,000 rubles, respectively.
If you want to work as a civilian - please work - you have worked for at least five years (gained the necessary labor insurance experience) - receive a retirement pension after 60 years (for men, 55 years for women) and not circumcised as it is now - but in full, according to the Federal Law "On labor pensions” how many working years you have earned and how much your employer has deducted real insurance premiums for you. And then a person should have two full-fledged pensions - one for the length of service according to the Federal Law “On State Pension Provision”, which should be indexed in full according to this law, and the second - a full labor pension (both the insurance part, and the basic and funded ) according to the Federal Law “On labor pensions”, which should be indexed in full according to this law, like all civil pensioners. Then everything will be both according to the law and justice.
And with the current leveling, it turns out that those who did not work and did not serve receive the same amount as those who served, and then worked for another 15-20 years in civilian life. And then we wonder - why gray salaries, why young people do not want to serve or work. There are no incentives to serve and work. Today it turns out to be absurd - if a person has money, for example, in several banks, then he receives dividends from all banks, according to the terms of deposit agreements, and not in any one of them to choose from, or in one of the banks in full , and in others only a part. So it is in labor activity, everything should also be honest and transparent - you earned a state pension for years of service - well done, get it in full, earned a labor pension - well done, get in full how much you earned.
Does the country's leadership really not understand this - hardly - they are all lawyers. And if they understand, but cannot restore elementary justice in the sphere of labor relations, then they are not coping with their direct official duties. And this is professional incompetence. It's time to retire - just not a privileged bureaucratic one, but as it was before in the USSR (today it turns out - if you are the head of the region, then you should have a pension like a colonel - brigade commander - 26 wage category). And it’s time to finally make a table of ranks and publish it in the public domain, so that the people know how much the servants of the people get, how much the defenders of the fatherland, how much the guardians of the law. Then maybe the bureaucracy will be reduced by 4 times. Better less, but better (as they did with the army over the past 20 years - they reduced it from 5 million to 1 - yes, we don’t mind, only officials and all other state employees, please reduce 5 times compared to their number in the USSR). Then you see, military pensioners will also have decent pensions - as in the USA, Germany, France, Italy, Canada, Israel, etc. And there is money in Russia. Today, after the revolutions in North Africa and the Middle East, a barrel of oil already costs $105! Where is the money from the sale of our oil and gas?

I have a pensioner of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, a major, a pension of 6,000 rubles, and although the pension is not my main income now, I want everything to be fair, because I see many of the military and our pensioners who wear uniforms in civilian life, since clothes cannot be bought on what. In these elections, both my wife and I will vote for anyone, but not for United Russia.

levon: 03.03.2011
Comment by Oleg Alekseevich dated February 22, 2011. understandable, fair and logically justified. I fully support and approve. Thank you for such a comment. I served for 31 calendar years, I was dismissed with the rank of "lieutenant colonel" under Art. 59b, i.e., due to illness, invalid of the 2nd group
I worked in the reserve for another 19 years and receive two pensions, which are two times less in size than the pension of the former official of the city administration of the Omsk district, or even more. What can I say?

When will the camps for the ex-military be created? For Russia, it is cheaper and we will not be so hungry. Yesterday, after paying utility bills for living, I bought 840 rubles worth of food from my pension, and there are still 17 days left before retirement (quiet impoverishment is going on). For work (I repeatedly visit the labor exchange), by the way, with higher education, they are not accepted anywhere, they say the old one is already (47 years old). All this predicts to me some kind of social blockade for our generation, earlier, at the age of 45, already with education and great life, professional experience, they became heads of departments and higher, now it’s the other way around - the longer the legs, etc. ... The state or the fair “Batman” - help. Give me a normal job, a salary... or finally my well-deserved pension, so that I can live as a worthy citizen of Russia, defending the interests of the State.

Nikolai Gavrilovich: 03/21/2011
I am a military pensioner, a participant in the actions of the Special Risk Units, a disabled person of the 2nd group. He retired in 1992. Over these 19 years, I have been constantly robbed: monetization of benefits, payment for damage to health, disability not for the explosion of APLK-431, but general civil, etc., etc. The size of the pension is ashamed to publish. Question to E.R.: Do you have at least a shred of conscience…

Read the details in this article.

Application for switching to another type of pension and necessary documents, calculation of the amount of the new pension and the decision of the Pension Fund branch are attached to the payment file of the recipient of the pension(clause 44 of Rules N 884n).

In case of a negative decision to switch to another type of pension, the Pension Fund branch must notify the applicant about this within five working days after the decision is made, indicating

• reasons for rejection
• the procedure for appeal and
• return all documents at the same time (part 9 of article 22 of the Law of December 28, 2013 N 400-FZ “On insurance pensions”; clause 42 of Rules N 884n).

Attention. In case of disagreement with the decision on the transition to another type of pension issued by a branch of the Pension Fund, you can appeal such a decision to a higher body of the Pension Fund. In addition, the decision of both the territorial branch of the Pension Fund and the higher body of the Pension Fund can be appealed in court (part 20 of article 21, part 9 of article 22 of the Law of December 28, 2013 N 400-FZ "On insurance pensions").

New unified approaches to the establishment of salaries for military positions subject to recruitment by military personnel serving under a contract both as officers and as warrant officers, midshipmen, foremen, sergeants, soldiers and sailors, which have not been revised since 1993, but only indexed, caused the need to take measures to change the tariffing of these military posts in order to determine the salaries established for them from July 1, 2002, which are not connected with the conduct of organizational and staff events.

military retirement
Social status of veterans military service really got to the point
2010-05-21 / Vladimir Mukhin

The Ministry of Defense of Russia is concerned about the facts of the mass transition of reserve officers to pensions under civil pension legislation. As a representative of the Main Directorate recently said educational work Armed Forces Vladimir Kulakov, "in just two months of this year, 15,000 people refused military pensions." Apparently, this process is only gaining momentum.

Today, 1.131 million former servicemen are on pension records in the Armed Forces. At the same time, according to General Kulakov, "about 519 thousand people receive pensions below the average level of labor pensions, which is 46% of the total number of military pensioners." Officials from the military department have not presented such data, which obviously does not bring authority to the federal authorities, for a long time.

Apparently, the social status of veterans of military service has really reached the point. The officer of the Ministry of Defense, who asked not to be named, clarified to NG that the situation with the mass refusals of retirees from military pensions looks even more acute than Vladimir Kulakov described it. After the April decree of the government of the Russian Federation on increasing labor pensions, the country's military registration and enlistment offices were simply inundated with statements from reserve military personnel demanding that they be transferred to pensions in the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund. The officer is concerned that "this sharply reduces the attractiveness of the army in the eyes of society and does not encourage young citizens to enter the military service under the contract."

As a result, according to Lieutenant-General Netkachev, a member of the Association for the Social Protection of Veterans of Special Forces of Law Enforcement Agencies and Special Services “Rus”, social discontent in the families of servicemen and retirees is also sharply increasing. And it is no secret that many opposition parties and movements use this discontent for political purposes. As an example, the interlocutor of "NG" cited the May Day protests organized by opposition parties and movements in the country with the participation of servicemen and military pensioners. Netkachev recalled that on January 30 of this year. The bureau of the Yabloko party appealed to President Dmitry Medvedev with a demand to "reconsider the discriminatory system of pensions for military personnel." In the following months, street actions by servicemen, military pensioners and Yabloko activists in support of the appeal were held in Bashkiria, Chuvashia, Tatarstan, Stavropol Territory, Astrakhan, Amur, Chelyabinsk, Ryazan regions, and in a number of other regions of the country. In Moscow, two such pickets were organized near the building of the Ministry of Defense. “These actions do not paint either the government or the leadership of the military department. But, what is most interesting, there is no proper reaction to these demands of the country's leadership,” General Netkachev is indignant.

Oleg Shvedkov, chairman of the Central Committee of the All-Russian Trade Union of Military Personnel, shares his concerns. “According to official data, the average pension of a reserve officer is about 7,000 rubles, while Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, reporting to State Duma deputies in April, said that the average Russian pension in 2010 was increased to 8,100 rubles,” says the source of NG. - This has never happened before in the recent history of Russia. And here it is completely incomprehensible why the country's leadership ignores this fact, provoking a certain discontent not only among veterans of military service, but also in the army.

"question answer"

transition from military to civil pension

Why, when calculating, the average salary in Ukraine for the year preceding the year in which a person applied for a pen pension; that is, when transition With.

Well so in pension Fund and ask for written explanations! Moreover, with Ukrainian pension Few here are familiar with the law.

I am retired, can I get retirement husband due to the loss of a breadwinner? My husband died at the age of 57, 6 years have passed since his death, I have been on the pensions. On the I was still working at the time of his death. my pension on the this moment.

Of course, get retirement dead husband you can't, tk. it was HIS pension. Go on the retirement on the occasion of the loss of a breadwinner is possible only if at the time of his death you were disabled (i.e. were already on the pensions.

Autolady is misleading you. Pension husband is not an inheritance, and you cannot receive it. This is in military(you can get 30% pensions breadwinner), now this is not relevant, because. " civil» pensions almost equal With « military«.

at transition With military pensions on the retirement by age, what is the average salary applied when calculating?

Military pension nothing to do with. For accrual civil pensions a civilian salary is taken, any 5 years.

that's the catch of the military. And what should be crossed? At military pension anyway more! Any time period you specify

Pension by disability + pension on the loss of a breadwinner after the age of 23 Please tell me if there is such a law in Ukraine that allows people with disabilities from childhood of the 1st group to receive and retirement disability, and retirement on.

If you are a citizen of Russia and have at least 5 years of insurance experience (i.e. any experience in Russia or the USSR), then the right to work retirement in old age you were 55 years old, if citizenship there is, but no experience, then at 60 years old.

I have a friend who has been coming from Greece for years and gets his retirement, though on disability For the experience worked in Russia, get retirement= everyone from Israel comes to collect their experience and salary and draw up. for work.

I beg the advice of competent people! Good afternoon to you! My husband is 36 years old. in 1993 he was enrolled as a cadet in a combined arms school, in December of the same 1993, he received an injury (.

I agree with AKMS, first you need to get a disability for this disease, which must be recognized through the IHC military injury, which I strongly doubt that it will be possible to do. the injury was not in the line of duty military.

If injury military and other disability payments are not made, then yes. But most likely it will pension disability military personnel, since the injury was received before the introduction of the Federal Law “On monetary allowance.

Husband receives retirement how military pensioner, but, continuing to work, transfers money to the pension fund. Does he have the right to use the accumulated funds without transition on the civil retirement?

your question is complex and has been delving into for a long time, but I will try to explain how I understood it! on the this moment I understand your husband is military retired and working as civil face and at the same time receives military retirement! and from wages go.

At the moment, unfortunately not. At the present time military pensioner can receive at the same time military retirement and the funded part of labor pensions(if he has money in a savings account and he meets the conditions for her appointment.

The commander wants to dismiss at the end of the contract on his own initiative. Does he have a right?

Now pay attention to the correct answer. Art. 23 FZ “On status. "Dismissal of citizens With military military personnel- citizens passing military contract service and under the age limit.

Legislation of the Russian Federation (Federal laws "On the status military personnel", "O military duties and military service”, Regulations on okay passing military services, as well as orders of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, issued in pursuance of these laws, do not provide.

Worked in the USSR. Kazakhstan. Latvia. Can I count on the Russian retirement?

Right on the retirement will be only if there is a Russian citizenship, reaching 60 years of age (if there are no grounds for early retirement) and the presence of 5 years of insurance experience (it does not matter where it was earned in Russia or.

Dear Iskander is right, as always. If you have any questions, then only contact him, he has extensive experience in the PF and he is a brilliant lawyer! How much did you work in former USSR, if more than 5 years, then you have. If in Russia for at least 5 years!

my husband is studying at military the school was seriously injured, with deteriorating health .. it was 20 years ago, their first-year students were taken to the bathhouse, in the winter at night, without a fence, crossing the road along the pedestrian transition, my husband.

What was actually not investigated and what do you want to achieve? “A very terrible diagnosis” is a conversation about nothing. If the injury led to a change in the category of fitness, then the warrior was treated and the corresponding amounts were paid. Driver.

woman pension age must be retirement, she has a son who is dependent on disability .. (see vnWoman pension age must be retirement, she has a son who is dependent on disability, the question is: 1. What documents.

1. LIST OF DOCUMENTS REQUIRED FOR ESTABLISHING A WORK PENSIONS OLD-AGE IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE FEDERAL LAW "ON LABOR PENSIONS IN THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION" To the application of a citizen who applied for the appointment of a labor pensions on.

go to pension fund. everything is explained clearly and patiently. you need to apply yourself or another person with a notarized power of attorney if the son is disabled from childhood, then it is possible to increase the basic part pensions. are needed for this.

You cannot change your passport before your birthday. What to do if you need to go somewhere the next day after the DR? The passport is no longer valid. Okay trip, but there are serious urgent deals. What if the passport is changed at best within 10 days.

According to the Regulations on the passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation, the validity of the passport is determined until the execution of c. 220, 45 years old. All! From the next day it is invalid. And the gap lies in the fact that the legislator did not provide for the need for a period to.

this phrase is somewhat incomprehensible “Yes, they can issue a temporary identity card, which is a full-fledged identity card. Then, in any case, a citizen cannot have a document proving his identity for several days.”

Many or few? 2 years conditionally gave the driver of the KAMAZ and not deprived of a driver's license. suffered serious bodily harm, there was only a criminal court, civil was not yet, the driver had to admit his guilt, the forensic examination recognized him.

The term is normal. Such is the jurisprudence. Since they didn’t deprive them of their rights, it means that the pedestrian did something wrong. Do not immediately blame the court for bias and venality. But civil he will bear full responsibility. That car.

Hell knows. The circumstances of the case are very vague. 1. Does KAMAZ have ABS at all? And what about the abs in general? 2. 8 meters is a _VERY_ short stopping distance. He slowed down, and effectively. 8 meters is the minimum stopping distance from 60 km.

Urgently need advice! A man was hit on a pedestrian transition

Firmly state to the representative (representatives) of the culprit of the accident: all cases are after the final recovery. Do not write any receipts and statements on scraps of paper.

If the harm to health is not serious, then the driver will be held administratively liable, since an accident involving a pedestrian on a pedestrian transition- 100% driver's fault. If the victim suffered serious bodily harm, then

Does the President of the Russian Federation have a work book?!

There is a must! Like any civil face - he obeys Labor Code, but as a guarantor of the observance of the rule of law in the state, he also protects this law. At the time of his election, an entry is made in the work book - what he is on.

of course, like everyone else decent a citizen of his own country I think there is. After all, he also works, "pays" taxes, earns himself a penny retirement and experience 🙂 Of course YES! He even receives a white salary. Definitely there is. Yes.

What to do with the lawlessness of judges?

Fight with all available ways and means. Up to the European Court of Human Rights (Strasbourg).

which ones? although they all look at us through the prism (we are the material for them). You don't understand, they demand money. And lawlessness is only for malicious non-payers I cannot fully agree with your statement about “lawlessness.

6. certificate of salary for 60 consecutive months of work (if there were periods of work before 2002);
7. information on the presence of dependents (children under 18, and in the case of their full-time studies, this age is extended to 23 years).

In addition, due to certain circumstances, military pensioners may also need to additional documents, for example:

1. documents on the change of surname (or other personal data);
2. data on the presence of disability (extract from the conclusion of the expert commission indicating the validity period);
3. preferential-clarifying certificates, indicating the special nature of the work, in the presence of preferential service;
4. documents confirming the identity of the legal representative, if the application is submitted through him.

The procedure for receiving a second pension payment to military personnel upon reaching 60 years of age

Delivery the second accrued pension payment to military personnel is carried out according to general rules for the current month. A military pensioner chooses the method of receiving a pension independently when submitting a written application for appointment.

Among the following are:

• Russian post (at the box office of the institution itself or at home);
• bank (at the cash desk of one of the bank branches or making a payment to a bank card)
• an organization involved in the delivery of a pension (a complete list of such institutions is kept by the PFR specialists and is presented to a military pensioner when choosing this method; here you can also issue a payment at the organization’s cash desk or at home).

It should be remembered that once chosen way to get insurance coverage you can always change in case of inconvenience after the expiration of time. To do this, the serviceman will need to re-apply to the district office of the FIU at the location of his payment file and submit applications for changing the delivery method.

outlying garrisons, frequent change housing with accommodation in military camps make it difficult to find employment for officer wives. In such conditions, there is nothing reprehensible to ask how to retire the husband of a military pensioner after his death. Without having, for objective reasons, a long work experience, the wife of an officer or midshipman relies on her husband's pension. The death of the only breadwinner significantly worsens the financial situation of the widow. Understanding the severity of the problem, the state, as far as possible, is trying to make life easier for the widows of military pensioners at the legislative level, in particular, it provides an opportunity, after the death of a husband, to receive pension money intended for a spouse after being transferred to the reserve.

The spouse of a deceased or dead soldier can find suitable pension payments the following types:

• old-age pension is rare, but there are situations in which the wife of an officer has worked constantly and acquired a long seniority. Switching to a pension for a deceased husband is not economically feasible;
• survivor's pension - the country's involvement in local conflicts increases the risk of premature death of soldiers and officers. When the husband dies, the wife can receive the specified pension due to the inability to engage in labor activities for one reason or another. However, the legislation stipulates monetary monthly payments in relation to children whose parents died in the line of military duty. Money is stopped being paid after reaching the age of majority, or after 23 years if the child is studying at a higher educational institution;
• husband's military pension - until the expiration of five years from the time the pension was stopped by the husband - a military pensioner upon reaching retirement age or she has a certain degree of disability.

The state pays pensions to the wives of dead military pensioners who are raising children under the age of fourteen without officially working anywhere. How to properly retire the husband of a military pensioner after his death will help knowledge of the laws.

The legislative framework

The main legislative act regulating the provision of pensions for military personnel and their families is the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1992 No. 4468-1 with the latest amendments and changes. In addition to the military, the law applies to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergencies, the State. drug control, penal system, nat. guards. Article 28 indicates under what circumstances family members may receive a military pension for the loss of a breadwinner:

• a serviceman dies while performing his duties while on duty;
• retired to the reserve, dies from illness or wounds acquired in the service;
• dies from injuries received during the performance of duty, after the registration of military pensions;
• the serviceman had the status of a prisoner of war or was declared missing,

When the wife of a military pensioner is unable to support herself and children due to disability, is not able to earn an income or work while caring for young children, then she has the right, under Art. 10 FZ 400, apply for a military survivor's pension. Article 5 of the Federal Law No. 4468-1 equalizes the rights of recipients of pensions of deceased pensioners with families who are on pensions in the event of the loss of a breadwinner who died in the course of official activities.

A woman with an IPC of 30 points, more than 15 years of work experience, according to Art. 8 of the Federal Law No. 400, an old-age labor pension is due.

Survivors' pensions

Service in the RF Armed Forces increases the risk of premature death for servicemen of any kind of service. Therefore, you should know in which cases a pension is calculated for the widow of a military pensioner. Woman, according to Art. 10 of the Federal Law No. 400, may receive a financial allowance in the following cases:

• is dependent, disabled due to disability;
• is not disabled and able to work, but is raising minor children;
• loses his ability to work some time after the death of his spouse, and does not have the opportunity for a normal existence.

When remarrying, a woman continues to receive child benefits from her ex-deceased husband until adulthood. This rule is related to the fact that new husband under the law is not required to financially support children not conceived in this marriage.

Double pension

Legislative norms provide for the widow of a deceased military pensioner to receive one pension of her choice. However, there are exceptions. Article 7 of the Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 4468-1 allows the widow of a military pensioner to receive an additional pension if the deceased husband was disabled due to acquired diseases or injuries, injuries while protecting the interests of the state. A woman will be able to receive, in addition to her pension (social, labor, disability), additional financial support. The legal norm ceases to be valid if the woman remarries.

Registration procedure

After the death of a military pensioner, no one will automatically transfer his pension to the widow. To receive the cash payments laid down by law, it is necessary to collect a package of documents. You also need to decide, based on the circumstances, with the type of pension that you should apply for - a military pension or for the loss of a breadwinner. The conditions under which the payments of a particular pension are made differ from each other. Many nuances are taken into account: the circumstances of the death or death of the husband, his own labor activity, the presence and number of children, the length of service of the spouse and much more.

It should be borne in mind that the structural divisions of the Ministry of Defense are in charge of issues of pensions for military personnel. Therefore, if a military pensioner has died, a widowed woman should first contact the local military registration and enlistment office for registration. Then, write an application, of the established form, to the PF department at the place of residence with the required documents attached.

The documents

It should be borne in mind that the bureaucratic system in any state requires the provision of all documents and certificates specified by law. Therefore, it is necessary to carefully collect the required documents, the list of which is approved by the Order of the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation No. 958n dated November 28, 2014:

• certificates - about the death of a spouse, about marriage, about the birth of children, including persons of minor age;
• certificates - about the income, family composition, disability of the applicant, about the term of service of the deceased or deceased serviceman;
• a copy of the passport;
• a document confirming the receipt or absence of a pension.

To receive a military pension of a deceased spouse, women should be patient. The process can take months.

Terms of consideration of the application

Legislators have set a time frame for a positive or negative response to a submitted application. If the provided package of documents contains exhaustive information, in this case the application is considered within 10 days. As a rule, rarely anyone manages to fully collect the necessary documents the first time. When adding missing certificates or certificates, the consideration period is postponed by 10 days.

Payout amount

Sum Money pensions for the widows of servicemen for the loss of a breadwinner is determined by Article No. 36 of the Federal Law No. 4468-1. According to this article, payments are made in the amount of:

• 40% of the monetary allowance of the deceased spouse, if the accident that led to disability occurred outside the service;
• The widow receives 50% of the monetary allowance if the deceased husband received a disability due to illness or injury during the service.

The pension provision of a military pensioner is calculated on the basis of additional payments for length of service, official salaries and amounts paid for military rank. The wives of the dead servicemen who served urgently will be able to count on monthly financial support:

• 150% off social pension if death occurred due to an illness caught during the period of the "term";
• 200% of the social pension if the husband died in the line of duty from injuries incompatible with life.

Pensions are paid permanently after reaching retirement age. During the period of incapacity for work - before gaining the ability to work.

Receiving pensions

The Pension Fund offers several options for receiving pension support. If the issue of receiving the pension of the deceased husband of the pensioner is positively resolved, the method of delivery is negotiated separately. This can be an accrual to an open current account, delivery by Russian Post to your home or receipt at the nearest post office. The most convenient way for infirm pensioners is free home delivery. This function is carried out by the social protection authorities. For active pensioners, it is most convenient to transfer pensions to a bank card.

Burial allowance

The state not only takes care of pensions for the widows of deceased military pensioners. A lot of public funds are spent on the burial of a deceased citizen. If relatives bury with their own money, then they are entitled to compensation for the amount spent. In different regions, it ranges from 6 to 11 thousand rubles. The funeral can be carried out entirely at the expense of the state by specialized funeral services. It is important to apply for social benefits for burial no later than six months from the date of burial. Otherwise, no partial refund will be made.

The PF of Russia is a serious structure, requiring the literal execution of the norms and rules prescribed by law. It is good if the documents for receiving pensions are in perfect order. However, this does not always happen. Therefore, it is necessary to first consult with experienced lawyers who will help you understand the intricacies of pension legislation.

It was suspended by the Federal Law of December 1, 2014 (397-FZ) and adopted in the context of an undeclared war by the United States and NATO against Russia, falling oil prices and budget revenues. In times of crisis, when we are talking about the preservation of the country's economy, the implementation of important social programs, the rearmament of the army and navy, the need to develop new territories of the country and support the population of Novorossia - all this is understandable and justified. That is why people in uniform, as well as military pensioners, I repeat, reacted to this decision with understanding. After all, even in these difficult conditions, the state found opportunities to continue solving housing issues for military personnel, building service and permanent housing, paying housing subsidies, etc.

How to refuse a military pension and switch to a civilian one

If the performance of military service is contrary to the beliefs or religion of a citizen, he has the right to replace it with an alternative civilian service. Replacing military service with alternative civilian service is also allowed in other cases established by law.

3 art. 59 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation). - military service is contrary to his beliefs or religion (beliefs can be any - peacekeeping, philosophical, moral, ethical, political, legal, or have complementary content); - a citizen belongs to the indigenous small people, leads a traditional way of life, traditional management and is engaged in traditional crafts (Article 2 of the Law of July 25, 2002 N 113-FZ)

Second pension for military personnel

In order for the employer's insurance contributions while working in civilian institutions to be taken into account when assigning a second pension, a military pensioner must be registered in the compulsory pension insurance system. Information about civil service, accrued and paid insurance premiums, wages, as well as periods of work in civil organizations are reflected in an individual personal account with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and will determine the right to an insurance pension and possible payment from pension savings.

The number of this account is indicated on the insurance certificate of compulsory pension insurance - SNILS.

On the transition from one type of pension to another, on the nuances of recalculating pensions for different categories of pensioners, and not only

Am I entitled to a recalculation of my pension since March marks two years since the last recalculation? For what periods will my salary be taken into account in the new recalculation? If the insured person continued to work after the award of the pension, he has the right to recalculate the pension. However, you should be aware that it is made taking into account at least 24 months of insurance experience after the appointment (previous recalculation) of the pension, regardless of breaks in work.

This is provided for by Article 42 of the Law of Ukraine

"On Compulsory State Pension Insurance"

Thus, if you have these 24 months of insurance experience, you are entitled to a pension recalculation.

Within 5 years - this means that the civil work experience (not included in the military pension) required to receive a second pension must be at least 5 years.

Officially, for 5 years, this means that for at least 5 years the employer has monthly transferred insurance premiums to the individual personal account of a citizen in the system of compulsory pension insurance. The passport. Insurance certificate of state pension insurance.

Pension certificate plus its photocopy.

The work book plus its photocopy (for working pensioners, on the last page of the copy of the work book, the entry of the personnel department “Works to the present time”, the date, the signature of the person in charge with a transcript and the seal of the organization is required).

Who can count on a double pension?

- If a military pensioner has reached retirement age and his seniority in a “civilian” is at least 6 years (gradually, the requirements for seniority will increase - up to 15 years in 2024), then in addition to a military pension for long service (or disability), he has the right to receive the insurance part of the labor pension.

Its size depends on the contributions that were paid to the Pension Fund. By the way, you have the right to completely abandon the pension for years of service and completely switch to insurance.

But today it is better not to do this. When converting military experience into civilian experience, you will lose money.

It is more profitable to receive two pensions at once.

• military: for long service and insurance
• disabled people, participants of the Great Patriotic War, residents of besieged Leningrad: insurance and disability
• parents of military personnel who died while serving on conscription; widows of such servicemen, provided that they have not entered into new marriage: insurance or social and survivor's pension.

Federal Law “On pensions for persons who have served in the military.

”, “On state pension provision.

For the security forces, changes are proposed that, without any exaggeration, can be called radical. Instead of paying superannuation pensions, those who are laid off may be offered… a lump sum social payment. The amount of this payment is unknown. Retirees are offered to appoint pensions, like other citizens, after reaching retirement age. According to experts, if the proposal is accepted, the military will practically lose their main benefits.

The military was offered to switch to self-sufficiency
The developers of the reform believe that the skills acquired in the service will help former servicemen quickly find a decent, well-paid job and switch to self-sufficiency. However, according to experts, the ability of the military to adapt to civilian life after service is clearly exaggerated. Not every officer continues to work after being transferred to the reserve. And the point is not only unwillingness - some of them cannot work for health reasons. According to the developers of the reform, the main goal is to make the social package for a serviceman more targeted, taking into account the possibility and desire of the retiree to start a civilian career, and also more fully taking into account the financial situation of his family. A good severance pay will be especially attractive to those who leave military service at a relatively young age and decides to make a career in civilian life. This does not take into account the risks that young and promising officers will quit at the first opportunity, which will lead to staff turnover in the troops.

The idea of ​​pension reform is also questionable because it is proposed to compensate only a small part of the pension, while nothing else shines in return. By the way, we recall that the state even now encourages military pensioners not to sit idly by after dismissal. Those who continue to work after entering the reserve are entitled to a civil pension, which becomes additional to the military one. It is paid through the Pension Fund of Russia upon reaching the state-established retirement age and the minimum required length of service, which in 2017 was eight years and will increase by one year to 15 years by 2024. The budget savings from the reform of the military pension system could amount to 500-700 billion rubles a year. Therefore, many experts are confident that due to the difficult economic situation, changes in the calculation of military pensions may occur as early as 2018.

It should be noted that now a military pension is assigned to military personnel who, on the day of dismissal, have served in law enforcement agencies for 20 years or more. In addition, those dismissed upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staff measures and who have reached the age of 45 on the day of dismissal can count on it. To do this, you need to have a total work experience of more than 25 years, of which at least 12 years and 6 months is service in law enforcement agencies. The average pension for military pensioners ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 rubles.

Today, it turns out that in the period of time from 45 years old, when servicemen mostly retire, to 60 years old, when they are entitled to a regular pension, the average serviceman receives about 5 million rubles. It turns out that the one-time payment proposed by the reform project should be approximately the same amount, which is very doubtful.

The government has been receiving proposals to reform the pension system for military personnel for several years. There were both hard and soft options, but they were abandoned. Probably, this time too there will be no special changes and cosmetic changes will be carried out. It is possible that the length of service for receiving a pension will be increased, most likely from 20 to 25 years. It should be noted that the fulfillment of obligations to military pensioners is indeed a serious financial burden for the state today. And here you can save serious funds. To do this, it is necessary to clearly define who is a military pensioner and who is not. According to the Ministry of Defense, in 2015 there were about 900 thousand pensioners in the military department. At the same time, the number of military pensioners of all power structures is approaching somewhere around 10-12 million. So it is necessary to more clearly define in the law who is a military pensioner, and this will solve the problem with military pensions.

The abolition of military pensions will lead to a social explosion The current Russian scheme, when a military pension is awarded immediately upon dismissal from armed forces with a certain length of service, but without reference to the age of the soldier, is not common in other armies of the world. But the severance pay scheme does not apply there either. At the same time, according to preliminary calculations, after such a reform, budget savings could amount to 500-700 billion rubles a year. Therefore, many experts are confident that due to the difficult economic situation, changes in the calculation of military pensions may occur as early as 2018. Opinions on the methods of reforming the military pension system were diametrically divided. According to some, the retirement of the military in 2018 will be no different from previous years - the accrual procedure, as well as others important points will remain the same.

Indeed, the official position of the state on the issue of pension formation remains unchanged at the moment. It should be noted that recently the talks about changes in the pension sphere remain just talks - no laws on this issue have been adopted in recent years. There are also opinions that although the reform of the military pension is inevitable, it certainly will not take place simultaneously with the increase in the retirement age: this will create the prerequisites for a social explosion. Therefore, the decision on the retirement age for military pensioners may be postponed for several years, until the bulk of the population gets used to the new retirement age. At the same time, only future pensioners will fall under the reform, while those who already receive a pension will not be affected by the changes. Experts were skeptical about the latest proposals to reform the military pension, but admit that changes cannot be avoided. The military budget today is focused exclusively on the rearmament of the army, and the state is looking for how to find additional resources.

Money is easiest to take from military pensioners.
The process of cutting benefits can be slowed down only because other law enforcement agencies are also interested in maintaining military pensions. After all, the pension reform concerns not only military personnel, but also law enforcement officers, bodies of the penitentiary system, security and foreign intelligence services, fire departments, as well as investigators, prosecutors, etc. These law enforcement agencies individually, and even more so in total, have considerable weight and they will certainly connect a powerful administrative resource to save pensions. However, it is most likely that it will not be possible to fully preserve the current conditions of their appointment. The complete abolition of pensions for the military is, of course, a very extreme option; a certain compromise will probably be found, as a result, a balanced decision will be made, which will be able to find understanding among the employees and leadership of all law enforcement agencies.

BY THE WAY The economy cannot be deceived; in practice, the situation of military pensioners is already deteriorating every year due to the freezing of indexation of pensions. It is this indicator that is the most important condition for ensuring a normal standard of living for people. But due to the financial crisis, the authorities cannot offer serious raises to retired military men. Only at the beginning of 2018, the government decided that military pensions should be increased by 4%. However, a further increase will have to wait a long time. The next one is scheduled for October 2019. After that, retired employees will have to wait another year before the next promotion. Each of the planned revisions should increase the size of the military pension by 4%.

The military may be deprived of pensions

The budget crisis is pushing officials to cancel the so-called military pensions, which are received by employees of the Ministry of Defense, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, the FSB and other law enforcement agencies. Following the reform of civil pensions, the logic of the crisis leads the economic bloc of the government to reduce the pensions of the security forces. The current military pensioners can sleep peacefully: there are no plans to cancel their pensions. But in the future, the current security forces may receive only a one-time severance pay instead of a lifetime pension - to adapt to work in civilian life. Such a decision is already being discussed in the structures of the Ministry of Finance.

The Research Financial Institute (NIFI), subordinate to the Ministry of Finance, is preparing a rationale for a new pension reform. Now security officials can become victims of optimization. This can be judged from the public speeches of the director of the NIFI Vladimir Nazarov. In his opinion, military pensions should be reviewed. And, apparently, quite radically. Nazarov spoke about some of the details last week on the air of Ekho Moskvy.

“Those who are going to go on a military pension should be offered a normal social contract instead of a pension,” the economist explained. - When a person finishes military service, if he is not disabled and everything is in order, you need to give him money for retraining, give him a large severance pay so that he has enough for a year or two of a comfortable life, and after that he, quite like a normal member of society, can work at another job.

No matter how strange the ideas discussed at the NIFI may seem, they are worth listening to. Indeed, as indicated on the website of the Ministry of Finance, among the tasks and functions of this institution are the development of the theory and methodology of financial management, forecasting, planning, drafting and executing the federal budget, preparing proposals and recommendations for improving budget legislation. In other words, the NIFI's developments in the form of a draft law can be put on the table of the head of the Ministry of Finance, Anton Siluanov. And he, with all the calculations and justifications in his hands, can then start lobbying for the next optimization.

If we understand by military pensions the payments that are received not only by military personnel, but also by other security officials (law enforcement officers and bodies of the penitentiary system, security and foreign intelligence services, fire departments, etc.), as well as investigators and prosecutors, then after the reform, the budget savings can amount, according to rough estimates, from 500 to 700 billion rubles. in year. But there are also more modest expert estimates of savings - about 200 billion rubles. in year. As long as the reform has not acquired concrete outlines, it is impossible to make more accurate calculations.

However, even now it is not easy to get a military pension. She is appointed on the basis of years of service. The right to a military pension is received by persons who, on the day of dismissal, have served in law enforcement agencies for 20 years or more; as well as persons dismissed upon reaching the age limit, for health reasons or in connection with organizational and staff measures and who have reached the age of 45 on the day of dismissal, having a total length of service of 25 calendar years or more, of which at least 12 years and six months is service in law enforcement agencies.

Quite often security officials are fired before reaching the length of service required for a pension. There are cases when a citizen finds out about his non-compliance with pension requirements after his dismissal. Such underserved ones can only count on maintaining the payment of a salary for a military rank for one year. Or a disability pension.

It seems that the Ministry of Finance's reform of military pensions may abolish the very concept of "length of service." Most of the experts interviewed by NG were skeptical about the innovations of the scientific structures of the Ministry of Finance. In their opinion, the proposed reform looks provocative, moreover, it is almost unrealizable.

“This innovation will reduce the prestige of military service. And this is such a new word in world practice that the military of all countries will look at the actions of the Russian government with some dismay,” says Vasily Zatsepin, head of the military economics laboratory at the Gaidar Institute. “The revision of the conditions most likely cannot be avoided, but the complete abolition of pensions for the military is already a completely extreme option. Our law enforcement agencies have considerable weight, and they will certainly do a lot to save pensions,” says Nikita Isaev, director of the Institute of Actual Economics.

Every Russian officer still has a chance to serve up to a military pension. Photo from the official website of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation
In most developed countries, military pensioners are one of the most protected sections of the population, the expert recalls. One of the incentives to join the military is the guarantee of a stable income for many years. According to Isaev, it is not enough just to give a serviceman money for retraining: “In order for the retraining system to function effectively, it must be built from scratch. And this is not possible without additional funding. In conditions of chronic budget deficit, a vicious circle is obtained. There are obviously not enough vacancies for night watchmen for all the retirees.”

The proposed reform “will make people in uniform temporary workers who treat the state as another place of income,” fears Anton Sonichev, a lawyer for the Delovoy Farvater bureau. In his opinion, such changes will undermine the credibility of the state. “Resistance from law enforcement agencies will be very serious,” Sonichev expects.

“No one-time payment compares to regular income, especially with such lump-sum payments as now in Russia. This will lead to impairment social guarantees military pensioners, since not everyone will be able to adapt to civilian life,” Roman Azatyan, legal adviser at My Family Lawyer, warns. “As practice shows, in Russia the opinion of the military departments is considered, and therefore they will be able to defend their positions,” he adds.

Many economists recall that the partial erosion of military pensions is already underway today. Military pensioners are still facing budget savings: when the authorities decide to freeze the indexation of their pensions, says Sergey Zvenigorodsky, an analyst at Solid Management. He emphasizes that the innovation of the theorists of the Ministry of Finance fully fits into the trend formed by the state: soon almost all civil pensions can go “into the category of symbolic benefits, on which, given inflationary expectations, it will be problematic to live,” the expert says. No wonder the government offers the population to provide for themselves dignified old age, forming pension savings.

Although some experts see a healthy grain in the position of the head of NIFI. “The very idea of ​​retraining, regardless of the payment of pensions, is sound, since there are many people in the army with skills that will be very useful in working in large corporations and small businesses,” says Pavel Sigal, First Vice President of Opora Rossii. A large severance pay would be attractive "for those who leave the military at a relatively young age and decide to pursue a civilian career," he said.

Finally, some experts do not exclude that the arguments about the abolition of military pensions have a very specific political meaning. Perhaps this is a kind of preparation for the elections, Dmitry Lukashov, an analyst at IFC Markets, suggests: “First, a threat is created to cancel pensions and benefits, and then this threat is eliminated with the approval of voters.”

“So far, I personally do not know about any legislative initiatives in this area,” Nazarov later explained to NG. According to him, the budget spends almost 1% of GDP on all pensions for the security forces. “But we are not talking about, and cannot talk about, the abolition of military pensions. Servicemen who already receive a military pension will continue to receive it. This is a matter of social stability and justice. We can only talk about a gradual modification of the rules for the retirement of current military personnel: an increase in the length of service requirements and the use of combined age-length of service scales, when a longer length of service will allow you to retire earlier, taking into account the professional specialization and rank of a military man, ”says the head of the NIFI. “At the same time, there may be gaps between the period of transfer to the reserve and the appointment of a military pension. It is advisable to fill these gaps with severance pay and retraining programs with subsequent employment in a civilian specialty, Nazarov explains. - If the decision to change the conditions for assigning military pensions is balanced, then the attractiveness of military service will not decrease. Understanding that you serve the Motherland, high wages, as well as a guarantee that at a difficult moment society will come to the aid of the soldier himself and his family members, is much more important than “smearing porridge on a plate”, when all the military receive a pension, regardless of their age and income "in civilian life".

“I hope that a balanced solution can find understanding among the employees and leadership of all law enforcement agencies. The military are people, first of all, who care about the welfare of their country. Now this benefit is to make the social package of a serviceman more targeted, taking into account the possibility and desire of a serviceman to start a civilian career, as well as more fully taking into account the financial situation of servicemen and their families,” Nazarov concludes.

“In its pure form, the severance pay scheme is not used in most countries. However, the current Russian scheme is also not very common, when the appointment of a military pension occurs immediately upon dismissal from the armed forces with a certain length of service without any reference to the age of the serviceman, his ability to work in a civilian specialty and financial situation, ”Nazarov clarifies.
