Seniority pensions are monthly cash payments assigned to citizens in connection with long-term professional activity, as a rule, regardless of age and actual state of working capacity. This type of pension was introduced only for certain categories of workers.

In terms of their features and purposes, superannuation pensions are close to old-age pensions. They are also appointed for life, but if there is a certain duration of special length of service (length of service). This type of experience is calculated according to special rules. The procedure for calculating it depends on the specifics of labor activity. For example, only the labor activity listed in the List of institutions, organizations and positions in which work gives the right to a pension for length of service to certain categories of medical and pedagogical workers (approved by a resolution of the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus dated December 1 1992 No. 724).

In some cases, in order to become eligible for a superannuation pension, a certain age must also be reached. For example, the right to a retirement pension for certain categories of pedagogical workers arises for men upon reaching 55 years of age and with a special work experience of at least 30 years, and for women - upon reaching 50 years of age and with a special work experience of at least 25 years.

However, the basis for the emergence of the right to a pension for long service is employment in work, the performance of which leads to the loss of professional ability to work or fitness before the age of entitlement to an old-age pension.

Seniority pension is provided:

* athletes.

The list of categories of athletes eligible for a pension is approved by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus. Since April 1, 1994 the athletes of the Republic of Belarus have been granted the right to a pension for long service.

Conditions for assigning pensions to athletes in accordance with Art. 49 Law “On Pension Provision”: Athletes are entitled to a retirement pension:

men - upon reaching the age of 55 and with a work experience of at least 25

years, of which at least 15 years of professional sports

activities;

women - upon reaching 50 years of age and with work experience of at least 20

years, of which at least 10 years of professional sports

activities;

Certain categories of athletes who have been on the staff of the national teams of the Republic of Belarus for at least 5 years are entitled to a seniority pension with a work experience of at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women.

Pensions for years of service (except for pensions for flight and flight test personnel) are assigned in the amount of 55 percent of earnings (Articles 56-58 of this Law), but not lower than the minimum pension.

For each full year of service (Articles 47-492 of this Law) in excess of the required pension, including the minimum one, it increases by one percent of earnings, but not less than one percent of the minimum pension. The increase is made within 20 percent of earnings (the minimum pension). In cases where the length of service calculated in accordance with Articles 51-53 of this Law exceeds the length of service, the pension may be calculated on the basis of the existing length of service (Article 23 of this Law).

The minimum amount of a retirement pension is set at 100 per cent of the minimum old-age pension (Article 23 of this Law).

The procedure for calculating pensions for employees of flight and flight test personnel is established by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus (Article 50 of this law).

Certain categories of athletes who have been on the staff of the national teams of the Republic of Belarus for at least 5 years are entitled to a seniority pension with a total work experience of at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women.

According to the list, these include: winners and medalists of the Olympic Games; world and European champions; winners of the world and European championships; winners of the World and European Cups; winners of the World and European Cups; winners and prize-winners of European cup tournaments in team sports; Honored Masters of Sports of the Republic of Belarus (Honored Masters of Sports of the former USSR); masters of sports of the Republic of Belarus of international class (masters of sports of the former USSR of international class), international grandmasters.

The time spent on the staff of the national teams of the Republic of Belarus and the USSR is confirmed by a certificate issued by the Ministry of Sports and Tourism. The presence of a sports title is confirmed by a certificate of its assignment, a sports result - by a certificate, based on the lists of awardees.

For the above athletes, the age that gives the right to a seniority pension has not been established. If they have been in the national teams for at least 5 years, they are entitled to a seniority pension with a total length of service of at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women.

The special length of service includes the time spent in professional sports activities, during which the athlete was subject to state social insurance and insurance premiums were paid for him.

Periods of professional sports activities under an employment contract abroad are counted as a special length of service, subject to payment of contributions to the Social Protection Fund of the Republic of Belarus.

The category "professional athlete" includes citizens of the Republic of Belarus, who, in accordance with Art. 18 of the Law "On Physical Culture and Sports", in accordance with the procedure established by the Labor Code, have relations with state bodies and public associations in the field of physical culture and sports through the conclusion of a contract.

Professional sports activities associated with systematic sports and involving membership in public organizations and associations and payment at the expense of the sports society are confirmed by a work book and other established documents.

Vaskovich, who was born on June 20, 1970. On November 15, 1999, MREC established him with a third group of disability from a labor injury. His work experience: from August 15, 1989 to June 10, 1994 he worked as a cook in the canteen of the state farm

1. On January 20, 2000, “Oshmyanskiy” submitted the documents of citizens to the department of social protection of the Ivyevsky district, from 1994 to 1999 he worked as a livestock breeder in the same state farm.

Does Vaskovich have the right to a disability pension and what are the conditions for granting it to this citizen?

2. Citizen Ivanovsky, born in 1991, has been disabled since childhood.

Is Ivanovsky eligible for a pension?

Solution #1

According to Art. 11 clause 7 of the Labor Code of the Republic of Belarus, employees have the right to social insurance, pensions and guarantees in case of occupational disease, work injury, disability and job loss.

According to Art. 27 of the Law of the Republic of Belarus on Pension Provision, disability pensions are assigned regardless of the cause of disability if there is the following length of service at the time of disability or applying for a pension:

Age Length of service (in years)

Until the age of 23 1

From 23 years old to reaching 26 years old 2

26 years old to 31 years old 3

From 31 to age 36 5

From age 36 to age 41 7

From age 41 to age 46 9

From age 46 to age 51 11

From age 51 to age 56 13

From age 56 to age 61 14

Ages 61 and over 15

Vaskovich was 29 years old when MREC established him with a third disability group with 9 years of work experience. Thus, this citizen is entitled to a disability pension.

According to Art. 31 part 1 disability pensions are assigned in the following amounts: disabled people of the 1st group - 75 percent, disabled people of the 2nd group - 65 percent, disabled people of the 3rd group - 40 percent of the average monthly earnings (Article 56).

Vaskovich is a disabled person of group III.

According to Art. 56 “Calculation of pensions as a percentage of earnings” pensions are calculated according to the established norms as a percentage of the actual earnings (Articles 57, 58 and 70 of this Law) corrected due to the increase in the average wage of workers in the republic, which citizens received before applying for a pension.

At the same time, earnings not exceeding 130 percent of the average wages of workers in the republic, used to adjust the actual earnings of a pensioner (Article 70 of this Law), within 10 percent of the specified value, are taken into account in full, and within each subsequent 10 percent - respectively in the amount of 90, 80 , 70, 60, 50, 40, 30, 20 and 10 percent. Earnings in the range from 130 to 400 percent of the average salary of employees in the republic, used to adjust the actual earnings of a pensioner, are taken into account at a rate of 10 percent ...

Thus, Vaskovich has a length of service that allows him to receive a disability pension, and also has a conclusion from the MEDEC that he is indeed a group III disabled person. (According to Art. 31) He, as a group III disabled person, is entitled to 40 percent of the average monthly salary.

Solution #2

According to the law "on pension provision" Article 72. "Citizens entitled to a pension" Social pensions are assigned to citizens who do not receive a labor pension: disabled people, including those disabled since childhood; 55 years; children - in case of loss of a breadwinner (paragraph "a" of part three and part four of Article 35 of this Law); disabled children under the age of 18.

Article 22

Disabled people from childhood are entitled to an old-age pension:

men - upon reaching the age of 55 and with at least 2 years of work experience;

women - upon reaching 50 years of age and with at least 20 years of work experience.

Thus, Ivanovsky has the right to a social pension and, upon reaching a certain age with a certain length of service, is also entitled to an old-age pension.

Olympic champion in foil fencing (Seoul, 1988) Alexander Romankov began to receive a pension upon reaching the generally established retirement age. The athlete did not name the specific amount of his pension, but said that "it is about the same for everyone." How are athletes' pensions calculated? As explained by the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection, the issues of pensions for athletes, including outstanding ones, are regulated by the Law on Pensions. The size of the labor pension for athletes, like for any Belarusian, depends on the individual coefficient of earnings and the length of service worked.

Seniority pensions for athletes

This is due to the impact on the athlete's body of constant physical activity, the need to comply with the sports regime, injuries of varying severity and occupational diseases. Many sports, in view of their association with colossal physical loads that cannot be performed due to the achievement of a certain age by an athlete, imply the end of a sports career before the athlete reaches a common retirement age for all citizens.
The age limit for athletes involved in hockey or football, as a rule, does not exceed 40 years, in figure skating - 2730 years, in rhythmic gymnastics - 20 years.

What is the pension of an Olympic champion in Russia

Important

Against the backdrop of the successful performance of the Russian team at the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014, these innovations would be an appropriate encouragement for high-class athletes who have spent a lot of effort and health to achieve their goal. To date, all athletes, regardless of their achievements, are subject to the standard retirement age of 60/55.

In some countries from the post-Soviet space, the right to take a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule for Olympic champions is still valid. The title of champion of the Olympic Games cannot be former, it is given for life.
This title cannot be transferred, DMO is produced for it on the basis of Russian legislation. On the formation of the pension of the winners Athletes who have earned a high title in their time, sooner or later leave the big sport and continue their labor activity in the profession they have received or by acquiring a new one.

• On the formation of pension winners

On additional material support for champions According to the law, there is a special procedure for the appointment and payment of DMO, which provides for compliance with the following standards:

1. It is appointed not earlier than the time of appointment of pension provision by age.
2. For citizens who are mentioned in this law and who receive a pension, DMO is assigned from the moment the law enters into force, if the appeal occurred no later than 3 months from that time.
3. The payment is made at the same time as the pension.
4. The payment stops if the citizen is employed.
5. The payment stops if a citizen is deprived of titles and awards and resumes again with the restoration of rights and titles.

Among citizens with the status of people with special merits to the country, the Olympic Games champions are prescribed in a separate paragraph in the law.

Monthly allowance for athletes, coaches

If the former Olympic champion, after the appointment of a pension and “Additional material support”, goes to work, then the “Additional material support” will stop being paid to him. The size of this very “Additional material security” is set at 2.5% of the size of the basic old-age pension.
But there is a whole bunch of by-laws that allow you to increase the amount of surcharges up to 50%. What happened under the USSR, when Olympic champions retired by age earlier than other citizens, and had a fixed amount of supplementary payment for retirement age, is no longer valid in Russia.

As far as I know, these provisions of the times of the USSR are still valid only in Belarus and Kazakhstan. And the Republic of Sakha pleasantly surprised me with its legislation. I quote their law in full, perhaps many will be interested.

Sports pensions

In order to assign these pensions, in addition to reaching a certain retirement age, having professional experience and general work experience, there must also be work experience with the payment of mandatory insurance contributions to the Social Security Fund. This year, for men and women, it must be at least 16 years old.

Outstanding athletes are awarded a pension for special merit. According to the Regulations on pensions for special merits, it can be received, in particular, by winners and prize-winners of the Olympic, Paralympic, Deaflympic Games, world and European champions. This pension consists of an assigned labor pension and an increase, the size of which ranges from 100 to 250% of the minimum retirement pension, which today is 49.39 rubles. Thus, the maximum increase that such a pensioner can receive for special merits is 123.48 rubles per month.
of the Law of the Republic of Belarus on Pension Provision, disability pensions are assigned regardless of the cause of disability if there is the following length of service at the time of the onset of disability or applying for a pension: Age Length of service (in years) Up to 23 years old 1 From 23 years old up to 26 years old 2 From 26 years old 31 to 36 5 36 to 41 7 41 to 46 9 46 to 51 11 51 to 56 13 56 to 56 61 years old 14 From 61 years old and older 15 Vaskovich was 29 years old when the MREK established him with a third disability group with 9 years of work experience.

I also have to spend a lot on medicines: - I live with my wife, she has a pension of 250 rubles. So we spend almost all of her pension on medicines: we try to buy foreign, not domestic ones. I also spend a lot on medicines, but I am a disabled person of the second group - I have a discount on Belarusian medicines. Now, after paying for fat, buying medicines, food and other necessary things, as Sergei Lavrentievich says, “some money still remains.” If you live on a pension and a scholarship, this balance will no longer exist. - By Western standards, our retired athletes live modestly. Modest, even when compared with Russia or Ukraine. It's a shame that we don't see the corresponding return for great merits. I would like to live on merit. “I still don’t eat more than one loaf a day” Vladimir Parfenovich (58 years old) is a three-time champion in rowing and canoeing at the 1980 Olympics in Moscow.

Now about what size of pensions the former Olympic champions will have? Olympic champions are now retiring in Russia like all other citizens of Russia. It is enshrined in Art. 7 of the law "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation" Women retire at 55, and men at 60, despite the fact that most future Olympic champions began their sports career (and in fact did hard and exhausting work) at the age of 5-6 years.

And what kind of pension the former Olympic champion will have will depend on what salary he will have in the last five years, what he will work before retirement (that is, on how much he will pay in the Pension Fund, for the last five years of his work). If the former Olympic champion did not work anywhere, then at the age of 60/55 he will receive the minimum old-age pension established in Russia.
Alekseev proposes to reduce the retirement age for assigning an old-age labor pension by 5 years for champions and prize-winners of the Olympic, Paralympic and Deaflympics, champions and prize-winners of the World and European Championships, as well as athletes who have been continuously in the sports teams of the Russian Federation for at least 4 years Federations, including those for sports not included in the Olympic program.

The amount of the DMO is determined as a percentage of the size of the social pension. Indexation, which is periodically carried out in relation to pension payments, is also relevant to DMO. DMO is appointed for life. When do Olympians retire? In Soviet times, the winners of the Olympic Games were entitled to early retirement. This rule also applied to their coaches. After the collapse of the USSR, the law ceased to operate and honored athletes were equated to ordinary citizens retiring upon reaching the age of 60/55 (men / women). There are proposals to make changes to the pension provision of Olympic champions, and make it early, giving them the right to a labor pension with a record of 25 years.

Seniority pensions for athletes

In addition to the above criteria for assigning an early pension to athletes, I believe that the assignment of a sports, including youth, category is one of the necessary criteria for assigning an early pension, regardless of what category the athlete has. In view of this, taking into account the above positions, it is proposed to amend the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation" by entering into the list of persons entitled to receive early pensions, established in paragraph 1 tbsp. 27, athletes who have reached the age of 55 for men and 50 for women and have a sports category (including youth) and professional experience established by the Sports Federation for the relevant sport.

What lifetime pensions will be awarded to Olympic champions in Russia?

Summing up the results of the Winter Olympic Games Sochi-2014, it should be noted that Russian athletes, carrying out their professional activities, adequately represent our country in the international sports arena, raising its status in the world community. Those fees that the athlete received during his successful career do not at all mean a stable material life after his departure from the sport of high achievements. In this regard, there is a need to strengthen social protection measures and material support for a special category of workers - athletes - after the end of a sports career by improving the pension system for this category of people.

Currently, in the Russian Federation, material support for athletes who have completed their careers is provided through pension provision under compulsory pension insurance1 on a general basis.

Monthly allowance for athletes, coaches

Thus, while engaged in labor activity, they form their pension savings in order to issue a pension on a general basis upon reaching the age. Her appointment is made in the Pension Fund on the basis of the personal application of the athlete and the package of documents that the employee provides along with the application. Here, a citizen who has a victory at the Olympic Games in his arsenal must provide documents confirming this fact.
To assign a pension and calculate its size, a standard package of documents is required in originals and copies:

• Passport.
• Employment history.
• SNILS.
• Information about the average salary for 5 years.
• All documents confirming the facts of a sports career: certificates of titles, awards, titles.

Its size is influenced by the employer's contributions to the PF, accumulated points and work experience.

Sports pensions

Although I can’t even imagine how I will live in retirement - I have worked all my life. In 1960, at the Olympic Games in Rome, Sergei Makarenko, together with Leonid Geishtor, won gold in the 1000 meters in rowing and canoeing. Photo: Dmitry Brushko, TUT.BY With retirement, according to the athlete, it will become more difficult financially.

- Taking into account the salary, it turned out decently, but I still don’t know how to live only on a pension. Let's see what will happen. After the Olympics, Sergei Makarenko built a house near Minsk, not far from Drozdy, so a large line of expenses for an athlete is a “communal apartment”. He says that a “substantial amount” accumulates per month.

Law). The procedure for calculating pensions for employees of flight and flight test personnel is established by the Council of Ministers of the Republic of Belarus (Article 50 of this law). Certain categories of athletes who have been on the staff of the national teams of the Republic of Belarus for at least 5 years are entitled to a seniority pension with a total work experience of at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women. According to the list, these include: winners and medalists of the Olympic Games; world and European champions; winners of the world and European championships; winners of the World and European Cups; winners of the World and European Cups; winners and prize-winners of European cup tournaments in team sports; Honored Masters of Sports of the Republic of Belarus (Honored Masters of Sports of the former USSR); masters of sports of the Republic of Belarus of international class (masters of sports of the former USSR of international class), international grandmasters.

Athletes' pensions

This may cause an athlete to finish his professional activity earlier than workers in other professions. According to paragraph 2 of Art. 61 of the Draft Sports Code of the Republic of Belarus1 have the right to an early professional pension: certain categories of athletes who have been members of the national teams of the Republic of Belarus in sports for at least 5 years (according to the list of sports achievements), with a professional experience of at least 5 years and work experience of at least 25 years for men and at least 20 years for women - 10 years earlier than the generally established retirement age; other athletes - with a professional experience of at least 15 years for men and at least 10 years for women and work experience of at least 25 and 20 years, respectively - before reaching the generally established retirement age by 5 years. Professor S.V.
I will probably surprise the author of the question by saying that no one in Russia has appointed and does not appoint any life-long pensions to Olympic champions. This is not provided for by any legislation. But in the legislation of Russia there is such a term as "Additional material support" for outstanding (special) merits.
This additional payment (increase) to the pension can be assigned to former Olympic champions. I draw your attention to the word "CAN", yes, it is "CAN", and should not be mandatory. This means that in order for the former Olympic champion to be assigned such an additional payment to his pension, he will have to run around the authorities for more than one day, asking for the appointment of “Additional material support” for him. Whether it will be appointed to the champion or not depends on the “bureaucrats” who will make such a decision.
Pension provision of athletes under compulsory pension insurance is carried out by paying them a labor pension for old age or disability2. In accordance with paragraph 4. Art. 9 of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 167-FZ “On Compulsory Pension Insurance in the Russian Federation”, pensions for athletes are provided at the expense of the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and pension savings formed in non-state pension funds as a result of insurance premiums paid by the employer . According to paragraph 1 of Art. 8 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ “On labor pensions in the Russian Federation”, the recognition of a citizen as a disabled person of group I, II or III by federal institutions of medical and social expertise is recognized as the basis for assigning a labor disability pension.

Athletes may be given the right to retire early. The corresponding bill was prepared by a representative of the Just Russia faction Oleg Mikheev for submission to the State Duma.

It is proposed to supplement the list of citizens with right to early retirement regardless of age, including:

• champions and prize-winners of the Olympic Games, Paralympic Games, Deaflympics;
• world champions;
• European champions.

According to the author of the legislative initiative, this will encourage young talented people to pursue a career in sports, knowing that they are provided with minimal social guarantees, and after its completion there will be enough time to arrange a family life and find a job to their liking outside of sports.

A similar right is planned to be granted to coaches working with adult athletes. by analogy with teachers working with children who are entitled to a seniority pension with a minimum length of service of 25 years (clause 19, article 26 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ “On labor pensions in the Russian Federation”). “By granting such a right to sports coaches, we motivate athletes, including professionals, to bring up a worthy replacement for our Olympic champions,” the deputy emphasizes.

Oleg Mikheev considers the possibility of early retirement an important social guarantee for athletes who defend the honor of the country and, with their high achievements, contribute to raising Russia's prestige on the world stage. At the same time, he recalls that earlier (in the USSR) such an opportunity existed for masters of sports of international class, winners of the Olympic Games, who had sufficient work experience in their specialty. But when the basic pension laws were adopted, this norm was “lost”. In this regard, in order to revive Russian professional and mass sports, he recognizes the need to return this norm, giving athletes the right to early retirement after winning gold medals at the Olympics, champion titles at the world and European championships.

It is expected that the proposed measures will allow attracting more young people to professional sports, which, in turn, should help the development of the sports movement in Russia.

Hanging your boots on a nail, don't put your teeth on the shelf. Pensions for football players

What are we talking about

Every Russian knows that you can’t live well on a regular pension. And for football? But football players also one day become pensioners. For decades, the pension system has been reformed in our country. And every year it becomes more and more incomprehensible. Now the pension consists of two parts: insurance and funded. And there are many, many indices, coefficients, points... Not every employee of the pension fund (PFR) will have the patience to figure out all the nuances, so where can the players. They either die in training or hang out in Monaco.

Tariffs of insurance contributions changed, which were paid either in a single amount, or in parts, and the funded part was first voluntary, then mandatory. Now for an ordinary person there are two ways: insurance and accumulative. The first is a constant monthly payment from the state from a fund created at the expense of percentages of salaries. The second is savings in non-state funds (NPFs). These are voluntary deductions of the employee, and here you can at least transfer all wages. That is, take care of yourself and put it off for old age now. These savings will calmly wait in the wings, and the NPF will also profitably invest them in order to bring you profit. This is how the system should ideally work. And what do we see in recent years? The funded pension has been frozen, and nothing remains of it due to rising inflation. Again, all citizens are on an equal footing, everyone is equally charged the usual old-age insurance pension.

Professional football players earn many times more than ordinary citizens, but their work experience is much shorter. On average, according to statistics, football players hang their boots on a nail at the age of 32 - which means that they legally need to wait another 28 years for the official old-age pension from the state! Of course, they can stay to work at the club or learn to be a coach - many do. Someone can go into business or invest profitably earned during a career. Some football clubs take care of their "veterans", but there are only a few of them, and most often we are talking about really old people.

What about those former football players who failed to secure a post-football career and their only hope is a pension?

There is no separate category "footballers". There are no preferential pensions for them either, there is only ordinary old age. If this is not an Olympic champion, then the pension is no different from the one that all other citizens receive.

What they say in the FIU

For clarification, we contacted the FIU. It immediately became clear that "football" pensions are not a very popular issue, judging by the silence on the other end of the line. A dozen call transfers from department to department, from secretary to secretary, and - oh, a miracle! - there was an expert who explained what was what.

“We don’t have a separate category “footballers”. There are no preferential pensions for them either, there is only ordinary old age. If this is not an Olympic champion, then the pension is no different from the one that all other citizens receive,” was the answer.

And many football players, especially those who played in the lower leagues and failed to “earn money for old age”, after the end of their careers, get a job. Not necessarily related to football. It is known about ex-football players who work in the tax police, the Federal Migration Service, the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the traffic police and other similar organizations. And on a common basis, upon reaching the required age, they will go on a well-deserved rest and will receive a standard pension.

Football players receive pensions just like everyone else

In 2016, an attempt was made by the All-Russian Trade Union of Football Players to create a pension fund for players, but the matter stalled. In 2008, the RFU approved pensions for respected veterans of Russian football - the former "soldiers", Dynamo, Torpedo. And now these scholarships are the only encouragement paid to ex-players.

The head of the All-Russian Professional Union of Football Players tried to explain the situation with "football" pensions Alexander Zotov:

“At the moment, the players do not have special pensions, except for some scholarships for those who have achieved a certain result. RFU pays these allowances to honored players from the personal list. But we haven't had anything like this for a long time. We have repeatedly offered the RFU and the leagues to think about and create a system of assistance to players who are ending their careers. For example, we talked about the Players' Pension Fund, but so far there has been no progress in this direction. Meanwhile, the guys who stop playing at the age of 30-35 would not hurt at this moment some additional financial assistance, because the transition from professional football to everyday life is quite tough and is very difficult for many. They just have to keep going.”

But suppose that a football player still wants to know his future pension. He can use the PFR pension calculator or a special formula. Let's calculate his pension for 2017. So, let's take the average age of the end of a playing career and the same salary. The average retirement age of a football player is 32, and if he made his debut for the main team at the age of 18, he managed to accumulate 14 years of experience. As for salaries, we use league statistics: in the RFPL, the average monthly salary of a football player is 1,000,000 rubles, in the FNL - 200,000 and in the PFL - 30,000. Of course, we are not talking about top clubs and top football players, where monthly Player salaries can reach $200,000. It is clear that these players will earn enough during their career to ensure a comfortable old age.

It turns out that the pension of the RFPL and FNL player will be 15,465 rubles, and the PFL player will have to live on 9,326 rubles.

As a result, it turns out that the pension of the RFPL and FNL player will be 15,465 rubles, and the PFL player will have to live on 9,326 rubles. Because there is one caveat: the amount of salary for deducting insurance premiums to the Pension Fund is limited to the amount of 73,000 rubles per month. It remains only at your own peril and risk to use the services of non-state funds or management companies, which in our country constantly disappear like smoke and are reborn in a “new body”. Or keep money in a foreign bank. Or… However, if you have been playing in the PFL all your life, then you are unlikely to be able to save up enough money to not think about anything in the future.

But in Europe, a football player has the opportunity to receive a pension immediately after the end of his playing career. For example, in England, if he is a player in the Premier League or Football League and is a member of the Professional Footballers' Pension Scheme 2011 (Professional Footballers' Pension Scheme 2011), who entered it before 2006, then he can count on a pension from the age of 35. All that is required is £4,750 a year from your salary.

What is the result

The average pension of a former football player is not much different from what the average Russian pensioner receives - 13,700 rubles a month. No privileged attitude for you: “Ten-time champion, you say? Grandpa, don't interfere and get in line." At the same time, the professional career of a football player is short, and a whole bunch of professional “sores” is usually attached. Very few people will be lucky if the club can somehow support them. The rest will be forced to continue working, provided, of course, that they failed to secure a prosperous life. Or, again, they can give a chance to the accumulative system of non-state pension funds.

Football nourishes only as long as you are in the game. And feeds later, if you have achieved success in your profession. But such people are always in the minority. Most people have to start from scratch. And to earn for old age in the same way as most Russian citizens do.

How much is the pension of an Olympic champion in Russia?

In Russia there are a large number of outstanding people who have significant services to the fatherland, for example, Olympic champions. For citizens of this category, there is a Federal Law, which defines additional material support (DMO) for special merits.

On additional material support for champions

According to the law, there is a special procedure for the appointment and payment of DMO, which provides for compliance with the following standards:

1. It is appointed not earlier than the time of appointment of pension provision by age.
2. For citizens who are mentioned in this law and who receive a pension, DMO is assigned from the moment the law enters into force, if the appeal occurred no later than 3 months from that time.
3. The payment is made at the same time as the pension.
4. The payment stops if the citizen is employed.
5. The payment stops if a citizen is deprived of titles and awards and resumes again with the restoration of rights and titles.

Among citizens with the status of people with special merits to the country, the Olympic Games champions are prescribed in a separate paragraph in the law.

The amount of the DMO is determined as a percentage of the size of the social pension. Indexation, which is periodically carried out in relation to pension payments, is also relevant to DMO. DMO is appointed for life.

When do Olympians retire?

In Soviet times, the winners of the Olympic Games were entitled to early retirement. This rule also applied to their coaches.

There are proposals to make changes to the pension provision of Olympic champions, and make it early, giving them the right to a labor pension with a record of 25 years.

Against the backdrop of the successful performance of the Russian team at the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014, these innovations would be an appropriate encouragement for high-class athletes who have spent a lot of effort and health to achieve their goal.

To date, all athletes, regardless of their achievements, are subject to the standard retirement age of 60/55. In some countries from the post-Soviet space, the right to take a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule for Olympic champions is still valid.

The title of champion of the Olympic Games cannot be former, it is given for life. This title cannot be transferred, DMO is produced for it on the basis of Russian legislation.

On the formation of pension winners

Athletes who have earned a high rank in their time, sooner or later leave the big sport and continue their labor activity in the profession they have received or by acquiring a new one.

Thus, while engaged in labor activity, they form their pension savings in order to issue a pension on a general basis upon reaching the age.

Her appointment is made in the Pension Fund on the basis of the personal application of the athlete and the package of documents that the employee provides along with the application. Here, a citizen who has a victory at the Olympic Games in his arsenal must provide documents confirming this fact.

To assign a pension and calculate its size, a standard package of documents is required in originals and copies:

• Passport.
• Employment history.
• SNILS.
• Information about the average salary for 5 years.
• All documents confirming the facts of a sports career: certificates of titles, awards, titles.

Its size is influenced by the deductions of the employer in the PF, accumulated points and work experience. The entire work experience of a pensioner until 2002, the average salary for the years of work, and other indicators form its total size.

Usually the title of Olympic champion is supported by awards in their country, champions are awarded not only cash prizes, but also state orders and medals.

The State Committee for Sports must document the fact that this citizen has received the title of Olympic champion.

All documents relating to the fact of the championship must be submitted to the PF in the original version, regardless of the year in which the title was received. Based on these confirmations, the athlete will be assigned a significant pension supplement.

With the performance bonus, former athletes can increase their pensions. It is the citizens who have the title of Olympic champions who are included in the list of categories that are entitled to an additional payment.

The rules for calculating allowances are that they are made after an increase occurs. DMO can also be indexed, it is added to the pension as a separate part. It is not limited in size and is constantly changing upwards.

Even in the context of the economic crisis, indexation applies to both pension benefits and all additional payments to the winners of the Olympic Games for a high title. Understanding the special merits of athletes in maintaining the authority, political and sports image of the country, there are no questions about the abolition or reduction of the size of the SME.

In the USSR, Olympic champions were entitled to early retirement. In Russia, the relevant law has been repealed, and athletes (as well as coaches) are retiring at the generally established deadlines.

Recall that now, in 2018, the retirement age for women remains at 55 years old, for men - at 60 years old. This is the same retirement age for all athletes.

On the opening day of the World Cup, June 14, 2018, the Government of the Russian Federation decided to submit a bill on raising the retirement age to the State Duma, now deputies are discussing it, and, most likely, some legislative measures will be taken in the fall.

A heated discussion in the press immediately began, by Sunday almost 2.5 million votes were collected under the Protest Petition.

The coincidence in dates did not go unnoticed. Popular songwriters Shnurov and Slepakov were marked with the apt phrase:

“I don’t give a damn that they changed the retirement age - our champions raised our spirits.”

In order to receive pension supplements, an athlete must, through the State Committee for Sports, confirm the fact that he has received the title of Olympic champion. In the same way, awards at the federal level are confirmed.

Then the documents are sent to the Pension Fund of Russia, regardless of when the title was received. Champions receive a pension and an additional payment that will be paid on a permanent basis - the so-called DMO - additional material support.

DMO equals 2.5% of the social pension. DMO is subject to indexation.

Social pension is determined by each region separately. In Moscow, its size in 2018 is 9,400 rubles. 2.5% of this amount equals 235 rubles.

Thus, the Olympic champion has the right, in accordance with Russian law, to receive 235 rubles a month in excess of his pension.

A separate article of the athlete's income is cash prizes, rewards. All the tabloids are full of information about who got the millions. But the stories of athletes who have received serious injuries are not so well known.

After completing their career in Russia, athletes, as a rule, begin some kind of labor activity - after all, they need to earn the right to a pension on a common basis.

This is a very complex and delicate moment in a person's life. He cannot be forced, encouraged, insisted on anything - only attention, love, care is needed. The fact is that “after sports” complex physical and psychological processes take place in a person, he needs support, not pressure. See more about this in the article "Life after sports"

A change of career and work activity is a difficult moment for both athletes and retired officers, some representatives of creative professions - they experience a “shift of fate”.

But you need to understand that people who have gone through a difficult path in sports or military service have accumulated a lot of experience, they have certain skills and, as a rule, a powerful desire to win, the ability to control not only the body, but also their own destiny.

There are, of course, no guarantees here. A person can break down, but there is perhaps no special support, except for family and friends. Moreover, the "inner circle" is so important. But - this is important - not persistent in their demands, but loving people.

We know a lot of good destinies. Irina Rodnina, Larisa Lazutina, Vladislav Tretyak, Irina Slutskaya - deputies. Irish footballer Philip Mulrain became a priest. Singer Julio Iglesias also showed promise in football. Veteran of mixed martial arts Oleg Taktarov acted in films.

The vast majority of athletes - both high achievers and not so - become successful coaches. We will not list - we will get tired of reading)))

SPORT IS BUSINESS

Summarize. There's a lot of money in sports, and the hefty sums paid out to the lucky ones who make it to the top are just a tiny part of the iceberg. Sport is an industry of clothing, medicines and doping, sweepstakes and technology. Big and complex world. Athletes here is a glossy cover. Most do not have a systematic education, but almost all of them have injuries and occupational diseases.

They break your arm, but you endure, and if you endure, you will win, - says Konstantin T., Moscow freestyle wrestling champion in Soviet times.

His title was not high, "after the sport" he tried himself as an actor, and then became a sports journalist, writes poetry. Now retired. And almost every athlete can tell such cruel stories when a person enters the field, the ring or the ice with an injury.

Recently, charitable foundations have appeared in Russia that support retired athletes.

Sports pensions

NPF "Tradition" was created to increase the pension protection of the oldest and most honored sports veterans. Since 1998 almost 800 veterans were assigned small pensions, formed from the contribution of the Coordinating Council for the Development of Physical Culture and Sports. A number of sports federations and unions also pay pensions to their veterans, forming additional pensions under agreements with the fund. The Fund continues to look for funds to increase and assign new pensions from various sources and with the support of the sports community. Proposals have been prepared for the Ministry of Sports and the Russian Olympic Committee on the creation of a system of professional pensions for honored veterans of sports - coaches, athletes, sports workers who are deprived of other support than the state pension. Sports veterans can apply for pension support to their federations and our Fund.

The Tradition Foundation, created to work with the oldest sports veterans, is now ready to solve the problems of providing reliable social protection for active athletes, coaches, and sports workers. The development of a special pension program for the Center for Sports Training of the National Teams of the Country will make it possible to form pensions for sports workers that are much larger than the state pensions and amount to about 30-40% of real earnings. This program can serve as a basis for building a system of professional pensions for the entire industry.

Appeal from the management of the State Committee for Sports and the Center for Sports Training of the Russian National Teams

The Federal Agency for Physical Culture and Sports and the Center for Sports Training of National Teams of Russia (CSP), together with the industry pension fund "Tradition", have developed a program for additional non-state pension provision for athletes, coaches, specialists of national teams and employees of organizations of the physical culture and sports system as a whole. The prepared program allows each of its participants to choose an acceptable way to form an additional pension or use the program as a reliable way to accumulate personal funds. To do this, it is necessary for each specific person to sign an appropriate agreement with the pension fund / Sports Training Center. Work is already underway to find extra-budgetary funds to direct them in a targeted manner within the framework of the prepared program for additional pensions for athletes, coaches and specialists of Russian national teams to credit these funds to registered retirement accounts. For its part, the Federal Agency will strictly monitor the implementation of the prepared program, and make every effort to support and improve it.
We congratulate the participants of the program with its start and wish them successful work and good results!
The main principles of participation in the funded pension program are voluntariness and maximum awareness of participants about all its details, the ability to choose the option of cooperation with the Fund
The participant needs:
sign the Agreement to open an account, which will receive further funds in the form of targeted contributions (premiums), the sources of which will be sought by the CSP, and deductions from your income.
indicate in the Agreement the percentage of deductions from the salary, but not less than 4%. These funds will go to your account and every year you will receive a stable income (it is planned to be 2-3% higher than in banks of the highest reliability category).
Every year, each participant is sent an account statement and recommendations on the size of the pension, payment options and other information. The participant has the opportunity to withdraw his savings or resume the program at any time.
Guarantees for the safety of pension funds are provided by the Russian state bank OJSC All-Russian Bank for the Development of Regions (founders of Rosneft, a number of regional administrations of the Russian Federation, etc.) and its management company Portfolio Investments.

Background information and recommendations to the participant on the conditions of additional pension provision
1. Additional pension provision for the Participants (employees, athletes and coaches) of SUE "CSP" (Contributor) is carried out within the framework of its agreement with the NPF "Tradition" for the purpose of additional social protection of participants through the formation of an additional sectoral pension for them.
2. The participant joins the agreement under the Agreement, which determines his agreement with the terms of the agreement and the conditions for making contributions.
3. The Agreement provides for all Participants to open individual pension accounts (IPA), to which their contributions from their own income will be credited, as well as the opening of nominal sub-accounts within the framework of the Contributor's solidary account, on which savings will be taken into account and pensions will be formed from the Contributor's funds. The Contributor, subject to the availability of free funds, allocates target bonuses to the Participants to pay contributions to the IP or personal accounts.
4. Accumulations on the IPS are the property of the Participant (he can terminate the contract with the receipt of the redemption amount, which is more profitable after 3 years of the contract). The Participant can also additionally send to the Fund the recommended part of his salary or even all his income (if it is not the main one for the Participant). The Participant must specify this condition in his Agreement on accession to the contract. General recommendations on the amount of contributions: the base rate is 4% of the salary. For older participants, deductions of up to 20-40% are recommended. The participant can transfer all 100% of deductions to his account in the fund, using it as a bank replenishable deposit with high income and safety guarantees (recommended for Participants who can form such savings for themselves for at least 2-4 years). The amount of income is determined by the actual income earned by the Fund's management company, but cannot be less than 3% per annum on all funds credited to the account, taking into account the time of their receipt to the account. The placement of funds in the financial market is carried out in order to obtain a long-term guaranteed income that exceeds inflation. With this placement, the yield is 3-5% higher than the income on deposits of large banks. So in 2004-2007. income on the accounts of the Fund's Investors exceeded 10% per annum. If the Participant does not want to accumulate funds on his account and receive income, he can specify the fee rate of 0% in the Agreement. Every year (no later than May 01), the Fund informs the participants about the amount of income received and the participant can change the conditions for making contributions or terminate the contract.
5. The funds accumulated on the IPS are the basis for the payment of an additional pension to the participant. At the Participant's direction, a pension can be granted for life or for a term (for example, for 5 years), including the payment of a fixed amount of pension until the funds in the account are depleted. The participant can appoint an heir for his savings or assign a pension to another person. The terms of payment are determined upon retirement. And now it is enough for the Participants to accumulate funds.
6. The size of the required contributions for different periods of their payment can be estimated from the reference tables, in which the long-term expected return on savings is set at 6% per year (with a lower return, an increase in the contribution is required). An increase in the contribution proportionally increases the size of the pension.
7. Funds on the financial market are placed by the Fund's Management Company - "Portfolio Investments", which is controlled by the bank OJSC "RRDB", controlled by state companies and organizations. This provides the Participants with financial and legal guarantees for the safety of their savings.

Men (pension start age 60)

The article was updated on March 27, 2019.

The sports pride of the country also has an age and, accordingly, an age pension. In addition, the state, evaluating the merits of its heroes - Olympic champions, endows them with additional material support (DMO), enshrined in federal law.

The law regulates a special procedure for the appointment and payment of DMOs:

1. It is appointed not earlier than the time of appointment of pension provision by age.
2. For citizens mentioned in the law and receiving a pension, DMO is assigned from the moment the law enters into force, if the appeal occurred no later than 3 months from that time.
3. The payment is made at the same time as the pension.
4. The payment stops if the citizen is employed.
5. The payment stops if a citizen is deprived of titles and awards, and resumes again with the restoration of rights and titles.

The amount of the DMO is determined as a percentage of the size of the social pension. , which is periodically carried out in relation to pension payments, is also relevant to DMO. DMO is appointed for life.

When do Olympians retire?

In Soviet times, the winners of the Olympic Games were entitled to early retirement. This rule also applied to their coaches.

After the collapse of the USSR, the law ceased to apply, and honored athletes were equated with ordinary citizens retiring upon reaching the age of 60/55 (men / women).

There are proposals to make changes to the pension provision of Olympic champions and make it early, giving them the right to a labor pension with a record of 25 years.

Against the backdrop of the successful performance of the Russian team at the Olympic Games in Sochi in 2014, these innovations would be an appropriate encouragement for high-class athletes who have spent a lot of effort and health to achieve their goal.

In 2020, the issue of the possibility of early retirement of the winners of the Olympics was considered due to the significant physical and moral stress to achieve victories, but so far the general rules are still preserved and the privileges of the Olympians do not apply.

To date, all athletes, regardless of their achievements, are subject to the standard retirement age (taking into account the effect of the pension reform) - 63/57.

In some countries from the post-Soviet space, Olympic champions still have the right to early retirement for a well-deserved rest.

The title of champion of the Olympic Games cannot be former, it is given for life. This title cannot be transferred, DMO is produced for it on the basis of Russian legislation.

On the formation of pension winners

Athletes who have earned a high rank in their time, sooner or later leave big-time sports and continue their labor activity in the profession they have received or acquire a new one.

Thus, while engaged in labor activity, they form their pension savings in order to issue a pension on a general basis upon reaching the age.

Her appointment is made in the Pension Fund on the basis of the personal application of the athlete and the package of documents that the employee provides along with the application.

Here, a citizen who has a victory at the Olympic Games in his arsenal must provide documents confirming this fact.

To assign a pension and calculate its size, a standard package of documents is required in originals and copies:

1. Passport.
2. Employment history.
