Retired before. The procedure for registering additional payments to pensions for children

The question of additional payments to pensions for children has only now gained great popularity, although technically the possibility of such a recalculation has been around for a long time and arose from the moment the new law came into force “About insurance pensions” No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013 - that is, from January 1, 2015. However, previously the possibility of recalculating an already assigned pension in order to receive a supplement for children caused great controversy. Now, several years later, the legality of contacting the Pension Fund on this issue has already become recognized and is beyond doubt.

According to the new pension legislation, now when assigning a pension it is provided more profitable accounting of the period of child care, which is expressed in:

It is noteworthy that more favorable rules can be applied to similar periods, that took place before 01/01/2015. Therefore, those pensioners who have been eligible for it for a long time can also apply for additional payment to their pension - i.e. women, including adult children born before 1990 (during Soviet times).

Choice best option accounting for non-insurance periods for child care (and, consequently, the possibility of recalculation) consists in choosing procedure for calculating the amount of insurance pension:

• valid until 2015 (according to the provisions of Law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001);
• currently in force, starting from January 1, 2015 (according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013).

Upon detailed examination and comparison of all options for calculating pensions in practice, it often turns out that the new accounting procedure pension rights more beneficial for a pensioner and can provide a significant monthly increase (see). Therefore, it is worth using this opportunity and contacting the Pension Fund with the appropriate information. Although the supplement to the pension for children not guaranteed for all pensioners(each case is individual), we can say exactly for whom it may be most likely.

What is the pension supplement for children and who is entitled to it?

The meaning of the child allowance consists of counting the so-called “non-insurance periods” (clause 1 of Article 12 of Law No. 400-FZ) into the length of service and accruing additional pension points, the sum of which (the so-called individual pension coefficient) directly determines the size of the pension. In this case, this will be the period of departure of one of the parents for each child until he reaches the age of one and a half years(the maximum total can only be taken into account 6 year care period for all children, so if we talk strictly about the period of care for each child up to 1.5 years, then in total only four children can be counted in points).

The essence of the currently proposed recalculation for children is as follows:

• for women who were in an employment relationship at the time of birth and child care, this is the possibility of counting this period in one of two ways: either as a period of work, or according to the new rules as a non-insurance period, if such a replacement would be beneficial to her;
• for women who at that time have a break in work or combine the birth of a child with study, this is an opportunity to increase the size of their pension by including a new unaccounted non-insurance period in the length of service and adding the number of points that directly affect the amount of the pension paid (taking into account the new one).

It’s worth mentioning right away that not all pension recipients benefit apply for recalculation! There are categories of pensioners for whom there will be no additional payment during this procedure, and perhaps not at all - the amount received will go into the minus.

It is important that if, upon recalculation, you receive a smaller pension than it was before, the initial payment amount will not be reduced, and in response to the application for recalculation, PFR specialists will make a decision to refuse.

Considering all of the above, first of all, it is worth paying attention to those mothers who are given recalculation will most likely be beneficial:

• women with at least two children;
• those who received low wages and, accordingly, have a small coefficient applied to the calculation of payments;
• who had a short work history.

Which pensioners will not receive additional payment during recalculation?

The amount of additional payment for recalculation, as well as the possibility of its implementation, are strictly individual. However, it is safe to say who shouldn't count on such an increase?. These categories of pensioners include the following persons:

• retired after January 1, 2015(everything for them possible options have already been calculated taking into account non-insurance periods for children, and the most profitable method was automatically selected);
• recipients, paid in a fixed amount(established, among other things, for living in the zone of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant);
• retired previously established retirement age if there is a preferential job that gives such a right (since as a result of replacement insurance period points for non-insurance periods, they may lose the right to due to the exclusion of this time from the special experience - this is especially true for periods of child care before 10/06/1992);
• having only one child;
• recipients of pension payments.

For other citizens, applying for a recalculation may be beneficial.

In each individual case, the calculation of the pension, as well as the calculation of the amount of the additional payment, will be purely individual, and there is no need to talk about any fixed amount of the increase. For some, this will be an additional payment of 300 rubles or even more, while for others the additional payment will be equal to one ruble or zero.

How many points are added to the pension for children?

According to paragraph 12 of Art. 15 Federal Law No. 400 "About insurance pension" The number of points awarded for periods of child care depends on the following parameters:

• birth order of the child;
• amount of care time.

Data on the value of points taken into account when recalculating the additional payment for children is presented in the following table.

Table - Recalculation of pensions for women for children

It is worth considering some nuances when:

• period of care less than a year- then the calculation of the coefficient is established based on its actual duration (clause 14, article 15 No. 400-FZ);
• there are several such periods coinciding in time - then the sum of the coefficients for each child is determined (Clause 13, Article 15 of Law No. 400-FZ).

Let's look at the example of pension recalculation for a woman with 2 adult children, taking into account non-insurance periods for caring for each of them.

Example - Recalculation of pensions for pensioners with 2 or more children

Anna Ivanovna has been a pensioner since April 2014. For comparison purposes different options When calculating the pension (according to the old rules or the new ones), we will determine the number of points earned by the woman for each of them. Thus, we will determine the profitability of a possible recalculation and the chance of receiving an increase for children.

Required initial data for recalculation:

The woman’s total work experience is 18 years, of which 15 years were worked from 1978 to 1997 and 3 years from 2005 to 2008, during which the employer transferred 135 thousand rubles to her personal account for financing the insurance part of the pension (the funded part was not formed). The length of service until January 1, 1991 is 11 years. Anna Ivanovna has two children born before 1990 (in 1979 and 1985). The woman was on maternity leave for 1.5 years with each of them. The calculated wage coefficient is 0.8.

The first option - as it was determined when the pension was assigned. When retiring before January 1, 2015, non-insurance periods counted towards the length of service as a period of work according to the provisions of Law No. 173-FZ of December 17, 2001, because at that moment the pensioner was in an employment relationship.

• The estimated pension until 2002 (Article 30 of Federal Law No. 173) amounted to 256.72 rubles. is ((0.55 × 0.8 × 1671 – 450) × 18 /20).
• The estimated amount of valorization (Article 30.1 of Federal Law No. 173) is equal to 53.91 rubles. is (256.72 × (0.1 + 0.01 × 11 )).
• The increase due to insurance premiums received after 2001 is 592.11 rubles. - this is 135,000 rubles. / 228 months
• The total labor pension (excluding the base part and indexation) assigned to the pensioner was equal to 2336.24 rubles. is ((256.72 + 53.91) × 5.6148 + 592.11).
  

  Translated into pension coefficients, this amount will be 36.45 points- this is (2336.24 rubles / 64.10 rubles per 1 point).

1. The second option is how it will be calculated when recalculating the pension for children. When recalculating according to the norms of the new law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, it is necessary to convert the received amount into pension points (including for non-insurance periods of caring for 2 children), dividing it by the cost of one such point in 2015 (64, 10 rubles), and subtract 3 years of experience from the previous calculations (1.5 years for each child).

Obviously, for Anna Ivanovna from the example considered, the recalculation of pensions for two adult children will be beneficial(39.45 points is more than 36.45). This is due to the fact that she had a small salary and short work experience, and she has two children.

Thus, the woman in the example considered will receive a permanent increase in her pension in the amount of 39.45 – 36.45 = 3 points. The cost of 1 pension coefficient from January 1, 2019, taking into account the indexations carried out, is 87.24 rubles.

That., the additional payment to her pension will be equal to 3 × 87.24 = 261.72 rubles.

How to apply for an additional payment to the pension for children?

Recalculation of pension payments, implying additional payment taking into account non-insurance periods, is carried out only by application if you have the necessary documents.

In order to receive an increase in pension for children, pensioners need to take a few steps:

At the same time, there is several ways such an appeal:

• personally (or through a legal representative) make an appointment with the client service of the district administration of the Pension Fund;
• contact the MFC at your place of residence;
• send documents by mail;
• submit an electronic appeal through a single portal of public services.

Despite all the calls from the Pension Fund not to create a stir around the topic of additional payments for adult children, the information presented about a possible increase in pensions worries a large number of citizens, and their desire to quickly get an appointment with Pension Fund specialists can be understood in view of the difficult economic situation in the country. However, some Pension Fund departments have already registered an entry on the issue of recalculation many months in advance.

Since the moment of recalculation will depend on the date of filing the application, women in large populated areas should pay attention to alternative methods of application, bypassing a personal appointment at the Pension Fund.

Application for recalculation of pension for children (sample)

An application for recalculation of a pension for children is a standard form for revising the amount of payment, carried out, among other things, for other reasons. The application form for additional payment can be filled out in advance by printing it from the website of government services or the Pension Fund (or you can download it). You can also fill it out in person at the Pension Fund or MFC under the guidance of specialists from these institutions (in this case, correct completion is guaranteed).

This document is drawn up in Russian and signed personally by the citizen or his legal representative (if there is a notarized power of attorney). Based on the content of the statement, one can distinguish its main points:

• first, indicate the name of the territorial body of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, where the citizen applies;
• followed by personal data (full name, citizenship, registration address and actual place of residence);
• clause 3 informs about the type of pension to be recalculated, and the last column of the same clause indicates the basis for the additional payment “including non-insurance periods”;
• It is also necessary to list in writing the documents attached to the application.

The final signature of the applicant at the end of the document confirms the accuracy of the information provided by him.

What documents are needed to apply for an increase?

IN package of documents required to obtain an increase in payment includes:

• identification document of the pensioner or his legal representative;
• pension insurance certificate ();
• application (a 4-page form is printed by a Pension Fund employee upon personal application or filled out by the applicant independently electronically on the government services website);
• birth certificates of children or a birth certificate from the civil registry office;
• documents confirming that the child is 1.5 years old, to choose from:
  • educational certificate;
  • child's passport.

If the child’s birth certificate contains a stamp indicating that he received a passport upon reaching 14 years of age, then there is no need to provide any additional documents to confirm that he is being cared for!

It is worth remembering that if you apply for recalculation through the post office, copies of the submitted documents must be notarized, and if you apply for an increase via the Internet, the documents necessary for the additional payment (except for the application completed directly on the website) should be brought to the Pension Fund within five working days.

The timing of the decision and when the increase will be

According to paragraph 1 of Art. 23 of Law No. 400-FZ, recalculation of the amount of the insurance pension is carried out from the first day, following the month of application. The revision of pension payments by including non-insurance periods for adult children is no exception in this sense.

Do not forget that the possibility of filing such an application for additional payment is not limited by any period. However, if you apply for an increase later, the pensioner will be able to start receiving a higher pension only from the next month - no additional payments for the previous time missed since the entry into force of the new law is not due.

But since additional payment to the pension is not guaranteed for absolutely everyone, it is possible to refuse recalculation. In this case, an appropriate decision will be made by the Pension Fund of Russia commission, of which the applicant will be notified at the telephone number or email address specified in the application, and in the absence of such, by postal notification.

Is there an additional payment to the pension for children born before 1990? I retired in 2005, I have three daughters born in 1974 and 1979. and born in 1985, each of whom was on maternity leave for a year. During these periods, I was in an employment relationship and this time was counted towards me when assigning a pension payment as work experience.

According to the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, which came into force in January 2015, it became possible to count the time spent caring for children (one and a half years with no more than four) according to a more profitable option, including for periods until 2015.

The question of increasing pensions for children, including those who are already adults, is not raised precisely because of their date of birth before or after 1990. This recalculation is due to all women who have children and care for them in different times, including the Soviet period.

To compare several calculation options, you will need to contact the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, where your payment file is located with documents confirming your care, and write an application for recalculation.

If you have a short work experience and a low salary coefficient applied to the payment calculation, then if you have three children, such a recalculation will most likely be beneficial. If such a revision of the pension is unprofitable, its original amount will not be reduced, and the commission will make a decision on refusal.

In accordance with the legislation of the country, persons who have reached retirement age are entitled to a payment.

However, if a pensioner is engaged in the maintenance and upbringing of children who have not reached the age of majority, or children who are studying in vocational educational organizations, he is entitled to a bonus to pension provision.

Legislative regulation of the issue

The procedure for accruing additional cash to the insurance part of pension provision for the maintenance of minor children is carried out in accordance with “On Insurance Pensions”.

In accordance with this regulatory document, persons who are retired and who have dependents disabled citizens, laid additional fixed payments to an insurance pension or pension paid in connection with obtaining the status of a disabled person.

1. The number of minors maintained by a non-working person;
2. Age of the pensioner;

2. Two – 4,270 rubles;
3. Three – 5124 rubles.

For mothers who have status, the possibility of an old-age payment is fixed at the state level.

For this necessary:

Additional financial support at the state level is not provided for this category of citizens.

However, federal legislation has delegated powers to implement social support in the form of pension supplements for mothers with many children.

Payment of these amounts is made at the expense of the regional budget. Regulation of the provision of benefits is carried out at the local level by legislative bodies.

So by law Moscow payments have been established for mothers with the status of large families, the amount of which reaches from 4,000 rubles to 9,000 rubles .

by law St. Petersburg an additional pension has been established for mothers raising five or more children, in the amount 2,820 rubles .

Since the entry into force of amendments to the law regulating the transfer of pension insurance amounts based on mothers those with more than four children will be able to count on an increase in the size of their pension benefit.

Mothers who retired before 2015 can receive increased benefits.

In accordance with the new law, periods of raising not three children, but four children are counted as length of service. a total of 6 years. Accordingly, in order to gain the opportunity for early registration, she needs to work for 9 years.

In addition, for the entire period of caring for children, a mother with many children points are awarded. Their amount directly depends on the number of children.

A mother who has two or more children and retired early has the right to receive a fixed bonus to the insurance portion for each of the children under the age of majority.

Several years ago, with a change in legislation, current pensioners had the opportunity to receive additional payment for children. It is carried out by recalculating the pension amount in accordance with the new rules. What this is and what additional payment to the pension for children is due to pensioners, this article will tell you about it.

Basic information

In this case, we are not talking about any payment, but about the recalculation made when applying to the Pension Fund. Since January 1, 2015, the rules for drawing up pensions have changed slightly. Now non-insurance periods are taken into account - time spent caring for children, military service, etc.

Definitions

The basic concepts and terms related to the topic under consideration and used in the article are as follows:

Legislation

The issues discussed in the proposed article are regulated and regulated by the following legislative acts:

1. Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400 “On Insurance Pensions”.
2. Federal Law “On State Pension Security”.

Important points regarding receiving a raise

To eradicate misconceptions, it is necessary to understand the following points:

1. Pensioners who became pensioners starting in 2015 do not need to apply for recalculation. The amount of security has already been calculated according to the new requirements. Recalculation is required if a woman has some unaccounted periods when assigning a pension before 2015.
2. The deadline for submitting an application for recalculation is not limited by current legislation. However, there is no payment for missed years.
3. The bonus received is not guaranteed and is strictly individual. Only 25% of people who apply actually receive an increase, since often replacing length of service with a non-insurance period leads to a reduction in the size of the pension.
4. If you receive a smaller pension than before, the payment will not decrease. The citizen will continue to receive the amount that was originally.

Which citizens receive additional payment?

Women who are on pensions may qualify for additional payment in the following cases:

• in case of giving birth to two or more children and caring for them;
• in case of birth of twins or triplets;
• if the woman was not employed during the period of childcare;
• with minimum experience and low earnings;
• if a woman receives a minimum pension.

Per student

The Pension Fund of Russia makes additional payments for dependent students in the presence of specific circumstances. For example, when a child undergoes full-time education, additional support in the amount of 1,602 rubles is provided. If there are two such students, the additional payment increases twice, respectively, if there are three, it increases three times.

Minor

The legislation provides for additional payments for children under 18 years of age.

The size of the supplement depends on the age of the pensioner:

• up to 80 years old, 3,416 rubles are due for one child, 4,270 for two, 5,124 for three;
• upon reaching 80 years of age, the additional payments will be respectively equal to 5978, 6832 and 7686 rubles.

For military pensioners

Military retirees have their own allowance for dependents who are unable to provide for themselves.

The amount of the supplement depends on the existing state support:

• for one person – 32% of the pension;
• on two – 64%;
• on three – 100% of the pension.

Pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Pensioners who previously worked in the Ministry of Internal Affairs are entitled to receive payments for dependents. So, if there is one child in the family, 32% of the pension is due; if there are two dependents, the amount will be 100% of the existing provision. If there are two pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in a family, then only one of them receives this additional payment.

Supplement for women

Women with more than two children can receive an additional payment to their pension. To do this, you need to contact the Pension Fund, write an application and prepare a package of necessary documentation. The increase can be issued for labor or preferential pension.

The basis for the premium may be:

• raising children under 18 years of age;
• provision for a student under 23 years of age who is studying full-time;
• care for children with disabilities.

Born before 1990

Since 2015, retired women have the right to receive an additional payment for children born before 1990. This increase is carried out by recalculating the amount of the existing pension. In this case, part of the length of service is replaced by pension points for non-insurance periods (child care up to 1.5 years). This procedure will be beneficial to those women who did not work during maternity leave or received low wages.

Benefit of recalculation

Recalculating pensions will not be beneficial to all citizens.

Receiving an increase is possible under the following circumstances:

• caring for two or more children for 1.5 years each;
• during multiple pregnancy;
• in case of lack of employment while caring for children;
• with minimum experience and low salary during work;
• upon receiving a pension comparable to the cost of living in the country.

When there is no benefit

It is worth understanding that under certain circumstances the size of the pension may even decrease.

This is possible in the following cases:

• if there is an only child in the family;
• if you have a long work experience;
• if the pension was calculated based on their high salary;
• if you have a preferential or early pension.

Number of pension points

The new law provides for the inclusion in a citizen’s length of service of periods of child care until they reach the age of 1.5 years. However, in total this time period should not be more than 6 six years. This means that the maximum number of children that will be taken into account is four.

Conversion table

The table below shows the amounts of pension points:

Fixed surcharge

Pensioners may also qualify for a flat-rate supplement for dependents.

The amount of this payment depends on the following factors:

• number of dependents;
• age of the pensioner and dependents;
• presence of disability;
• territory of residence of citizens (possible northern coefficient).

This allowance can range from 3,416 to 16,800 rubles.

Required documentation

To apply for a child allowance, you must provide the following documents:

• Russian passport;
• SNILS;
• birth certificates of all children of the pensioner;
• documents confirming that children have reached the age of 1.5 years (diploma, passport, etc.).

• certificate of education of the child;
• certificate of pension account status.

2. Review of the documentation package by Pension Fund employees.
3. Making a decision to provide payments or refuse.

How to apply

The deadline for filing an application for recalculation is not limited by law. The main condition for this is retirement before 2015. You can apply for additional payment in various ways: at the Pension Fund of Russia, through the MFC, remotely or through the post office.

Pension Fund branches

The most common way to apply for recalculation of a pension is to contact the Pension Fund at the place of registration. However, due to the large flow of clients, it is recommended to make an appointment in advance through the official website of the Pension Fund. This service is provided free of charge without prior registration on the portal.

MFC

Multifunctional centers are common in almost all cities of Russia. They can resolve various issues relating to the personal affairs of citizens.

In particular, if there is interaction between the MFC and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, you can easily submit documents to this institution and not wait in long lines. Such centers provide electronic queue and pre-registration by phone.

Online

Recently, a state service portal has been operating, in which citizens can remotely submit applications for actions of interest. The site requires mandatory registration with confirmation of personal data. It may take several days, since all entered information is verified by government agencies.

Within five days after submitting the online application, the pensioner must submit the original documents to the Pension Fund. If this is not done, the application will not be considered.

Registered letter

When sending a package of documentation by registered mail, you must fill out an application yourself, as well as make notarized copies of all papers. It is not recommended to send originals by mail. After receiving and reviewing the application, the pensioner will be notified of the decision.

What are the types of allowances?

There are additional payments to pensioners for children various types. They are provided only to those citizens who provide for dependents.

Additional payments directly depend on the circumstances, which divide the allowances into the following categories:

• additional payments to the insurance payment (in the absence of other social benefits)
• to social payments (regional allowance);
• for specific categories of citizens (athletes, military).

Under what conditions do you receive a bonus?

Additional payments to pensioners who provide for dependents are accrued subject to certain conditions:

1. If the pensioner does not work, then the bonus is provided without providing evidence.
2. If a pensioner supports adult non-working children, a document indicating this will be required.
3. When applying for a student allowance, you must provide a certificate from the university.

Some persons are not entitled to recalculation

There are certain categories of pensioners who are not entitled to recalculation.

These include:

• citizens who retired early;
• citizens who receive a state pension;
• citizens who receive a survivor's pension.

Thus, a pension supplement for children is awarded to pensioners who already have adult children and cared for them at the end of the last century. Due to changes in legislation in this matter, it is possible to replace part of the length of service with pension points, which in some cases will entail an increase in the amount of pension benefits.

Attention!

• Due to frequent changes in legislation, information sometimes becomes outdated faster than we can update it on the website.

In 2017, leaders revised reforms for additional payments to pensions for children for non-working pensioners. Each point has its own clarifications. Financial assistance is paid only until the child reaches the age of majority or for the period of his education, but until he reaches 23 years of age.

The legislation states that pensioners need to be only one relative of the child, he must be a dependent and be considered a minor child. Each case is unique due to different situations and age restrictions. If your child is studying at the university, then the pension supplement will be 1,500 rubles. If he turns 23 years old or graduates from a university, the payment will not be accrued.

All charges are divided into 2 groups: federal and regional subgroup. You need to ask which organization you are going to receive payment from. The authorities have created a new system for issuing each pension, but if you compare the supplements to the pensions of other countries, then ours are very meager compared to them. As a rule, pension fund employees are responsible for calculating all payments.

The first, main group of payments includes:

• — for an insurance pension;
• - to receive social benefits;
• - for retirees from military units and those involved in professional sports.

Pension supplements - monthly payments or one-time compensation - can be received by a citizen only under certain conditions.

In 2015, a list of groups of pensioners was compiled who will be pleased with the accrued and paid additional payment. There is even a special government decision on additional material assistance for war children.

• working citizens, after exceeding the established retirement age limit. A combined amount is paid, formed from an annual fixed bonus and an increased coefficient;
• pensioners who have crossed the 80-year age limit. Additional payment in the amount of one fixed pension;
• additional payment for disabled people. The calculation is made as a percentage relative to the group assigned by doctors;
• additional payment for an existing dependent in the care of a pensioner. In this case, a percentage system is also established, but the payment varies depending on the number of people supported by a retired citizen. This also includes additional help for children if they are dependents;
• former workers who worked in the Far North. Naturally, they have the right to all the above allowances, and to the “northern” one, which is calculated on the basis of length of service. Women and men need to have total experience 25 calendar years. Then the additional payment is due for 15 years in the amount of 0.5 percent of the fixed payment, for 10 years - 30 percent;
• payments to citizens living in the Far North are increased by the local coefficient;
• surcharge for a minor citizen who does not have parents. For children, it is also equal in amount to one fixed pension;
• a new allowance for agricultural workers, which is equal to 25 percent of the fixed established amount.

Recalculation of pensions is due only to those women who retired legally before 2015. In order to make the necessary recalculation, you need to come to the branch of the Russian Pension Fund at your place of residence and fill out the relevant documents presented on the organization’s website.

One child receives an increase of 1.8 points. A mother who gave birth and raised two children will receive an additional 3.6 points towards her pension. For three children they can add 5.4 points.

The maximum that can be included in the pension period is only six years. It is not necessary to choose the pension option based on the new recalculation. If this option does not suit the pensioner, she can return the old one.

Meanwhile, it became known that working pensioners were promised an increase in pensions by 222 rubles. The increase in pension will be made in August 2017 and will be only the amount stated above, not a ruble more.

True, pensioners are already saying that after retirement it is completely pointless for them to work legally.

Of the three types of labor pensions existing in Russia (old age, disability and survivors), social benefits, assigned by age, raise the most questions and difficulties among citizens. This is due to the complexity of the legislation, which has undergone a number of changes, and to the fact that the “pension issue” is of interest to the vast majority of citizens, even if pensions are not yet on the horizon for them. In many cases it makes sense to consult on pension issues with a qualified lawyer in order to retire with the maximum possible payments and benefits.

Legislative regulation

The difficulties in resolving issues of future pensions for the current population of Russia lie in the fact that those who are now beginning to think about them or are already engaged in registration worked not only during the period of different laws, but even in different historical eras.

Until 2001, pensions were calculated according to the “old” laws of the USSR and regulations of post-Soviet Russia. At the moment they have ceased to operate. Pension Fund specialists convert the length of service earned at that time and the level of the citizen’s salary using special formulas into so-called “pension capital”, comparing them with the requirements of the new laws.

Recalculation of pensions for the old “Soviet” length of service and work in the 90s depends on:

1. from the period worked as of 01/01/2002 (the total length of service until 2002 is calculated as a coefficient - dividing the years worked by the required length of service, which increases by 0.01 for each year, but not more than 0.20);
2. from the average salary for 2000 and 2001. or any sixty consecutive months. But it is not the salary itself that is taken into account, but its relationship with the average wage in the country at that time. The maximum coefficient can be 1.2. That is, even if the employee’s salary during this period was very high, this will not help him in any way; the maximum will still be “cut off” at 1.2 times the national average.

The resulting amount is divided by the expected payment period (set based on the assumption of the average life expectancy of pensioners) and the cost of the individual coefficient in the current year. The result is a certain number of individual pension coefficients (hereinafter referred to as IPC), which will be taken into account when calculating the amount of the insurance pension.

On December 17, 2001, Federal Law 173 “On labor pensions V Russian Federation" This law introduced two parts of the pension - insurance (for the number of years worked) and funded, which depended on the amount of contributions that the employer made for the person. It was assumed that the pensioner would be able to dispose of the funded portion at his own discretion when he reached the age of retirement. The savings part could be left in the Pension Fund or transferred to a non-state pension fund for preservation and growth. But today this part of the deductions is frozen. When you reach retirement age, you must directly contact the pension fund where it is stored to receive your funded portion. In most cases, it may be possible to obtain one-time compensation.

The insurance part for 2002-2014 is calculated by dividing the contributions per person to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for this period by the expected payment period of 228 months and the cost of the IPC today.

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation dated October 2, 2014 No. 1015 “On approval of the rules for calculating and confirming the insurance period for establishing insurance pensions” clarified that time worked in Russia is now calculated not “according to documents” (entries in work books, orders, etc.), but solely based on the fact of payment of insurance premiums for an employee by the employer or independent deductions made for himself by an entrepreneur or self-employed citizen. Thus, the future pensioner became dependent on the integrity of his employer. “How to confirm your experience if it turns out that no deductions were made?” - one of the frequently asked questions pensioners for consultations with practicing lawyers.

To the years of service for which deductions were made, periods of military service, caring for children, wards, and living with a military spouse where there was no work are added.

New procedure for calculating pensions

Currently, the calculation and payment of pensions in Russia are regulated Federal Law dated December 28, 2013 No. 400 “On insurance pensions,” which came into force four years ago.

A pension is assigned when a person reaches a certain age (currently there is a transitional table, then it will be 60 years for the fair sex and 65 for the stronger sex).

To receive an insurance pension in Russia, it is necessary for a citizen to make contributions to the Pension Fund for 15 years.

After appointment occurs annually pension recalculation non-working pensioners.

The pension under the new law includes a fixed part (basic) and individual pension coefficients. IPCs are often referred to as points, but this is incorrect.

The base portion was set by the state in a “fixed” amount, which is regularly indexed to the percentage of inflation. In 2020 it is 5686 rubles 25 kopecks. Higher base part for pensioners over 80 years old, people who have worked for more than 15 years in the Far North, disabled people of group 1 and other categories. The entire list of those receiving an increased fixed portion and the procedure for its registration can be suggested by Pension Fund specialists or pension lawyer.

Then the IPC is calculated by dividing the contributions per person to the Pension Fund by the employer for the period from 2015 to the time of application by the expected payment period of 228 months and the “price” of the IPC today. From 01/01/2015, insurance premiums are calculated annually and are automatically recalculated into pension coefficients. Every citizen can see them on his personal page on the Pension Fund website. You can also access it through the State Services website.

The second part of the pension is calculated as the sum of the IPC for all periods, multiplied by the cost of the coefficient. That is, the coefficients are added up for:

• period before 2001 (PC);
• IPK for insurance part in 2002-2014;
• IPK for the period from 2015 to the moment of pension assignment.

The entire pension is calculated as follows:

The sum of all individual IPC x coefficient value + fixed payment

In 2020, the “price” of one IPC is 93 rubles.

Registration of a preferential pension

After last year it was significantly increased retirement age, many citizens began to think about their rights to registration of a preferential pension.

Indeed, Russian legislation provides for more early care pension for a whole list of categories of workers. These include:

• those who worked in harmful, dangerous, difficult conditions;
• workers of so-called “hot” shops (metallurgical, foundry, chemical and other industries);
• specialists managing particularly critical transport (aircraft, trains, ships, etc.), as well as female drivers in construction, roads, unloading;
• rescuers and firefighters;
• teachers (but only if they taught children, that is, persons under 16 years of age) and medical workers;
• figures of some types of art;
• people who have worked for more than 15 years in the Arctic Circle and in places equivalent to it;
• mothers of many children and people raising disabled children.

This is the main list. There are more detailed and full lists categories of beneficiaries, clarifying all the nuances. The problem is that these lists have changed several times; the state has revised the conditions for granting the right to retire early. For example, in the “Soviet” lists, the position of pioneer leader that existed at that time was considered pedagogical, but in the new ones it disappeared. When vocational schools were transformed into technical schools in the early 2010s, teachers working there lost the right to benefits, because on average the age of students at a technical school became above 16 years. In these and similar situations, in order to protect their interests, citizens needed to go to court with the help of pension lawyers.

To apply for a preferential pension, a citizen needs to contact the Pension Fund. At the first stage, fund employees will tell you what certificates and certificates you need to collect.

The third stage, provided for by the procedure for processing documents for a preferential pension, is filing an application with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, which will be considered within the established time frame (no more than 30 days). Based on the results of the check, the citizen will receive the following answer:

• or he will be assigned a preferential pension;
• or the Pension Fund will request additional documents and evidence.

In some cases, fund employees report that this issue can only be resolved through the courts.

In addition to the usual package of papers for applying for a pension (passport, SNILS, labor, income certificate with last place work, military ID), the person will need to provide documents confirming the right to the benefit. They may be:

• certificates about the harmfulness or danger of production (it is better to collect in advance at each place of work; before retirement this may be difficult);
• conclusion on the incapacity of disabled people;
• documents confirming the presence of children, guardians, and dependents.

Other information may also be needed. Pension Fund employees will tell the citizen about this.

When receiving these documents from various organizations, you must carefully monitor their execution:

• they must be signed and sealed;
• no errors;
• copies are duly certified.

Benefits for working pensioners

Even if a person intends to continue working, a registered pension gives him not only monthly payments, but also the right to a number of measures social protection which he can use. It is advisable to know What benefits are available to working pensioners? , because most of them are of a so-called “declarative” nature. That is, no one will provide them “automatically”; the pensioner will need to inform the relevant organizations about their rights.

Labor and pension benefits

When an employee retires, he is not required to work the 2 weeks required by law. He must be settled on the same day he announced his intention. A pensioner can continue to work if he has the desire and opportunity.

A working pensioner has the right to unpaid leave at his own request - the employer is obliged to let him go to resolve personal matters and bring him back to work at the end of the stated period.

People who continue to work will receive monthly payments, but indexation, like for non-working pensioners, will not be carried out. But when they quit and apply to the pension fund, they will receive additional IPC for the period they worked, that is, the pension will increase. Recalculation of pension after dismissal of a pensioner does not happen automatically - you must come to the Pension Fund with a labor document and write a statement.

Tax benefits

Working pensioners pay 13% personal income tax only on their salaries (withheld automatically). There is no need to pay this tax on other income (for example, a person rents out an apartment).

Each region has its own list of contributions to the state, which working pensioners may not pay. Usually these are taxes on land (including dachas) and real estate. But in many areas there are benefits for transport. In other words, if the family has a shared car, then it will be more profitable to register it in the name of a pensioner.

Social benefits

First of all, this is an opportunity to reduce the amount of payment for utilities. It is this that is the main “headache” for pensioners, “devouring” a significant part of the monthly benefit.

Benefits for housing and communal services are assigned to working and non-working pensioners the same. Their size is determined by what share of the total income you have to pay for utilities.

The procedure for providing assistance and the registration process differ in different regions. Sometimes this is an increase in pensions, as in Moscow, sometimes it is the establishment of lower payments for utilities.

In most regions, pensioners have a discount or cheap travel pass for all types of travel. public transport(except taxi). In some localities, city authorities fully or partially reimburse telephone costs.

Medical benefits

In various areas, working retirees can receive a number of benefits in case of health problems. This may be partial or full compensation for:

• costs for the manufacture of dentures;
• purchase of medicines;
• travel to a place of treatment in another city.

Medical benefits are established by regional authorities. Even if a pensioner finds out that his friend or relative in another city has such a benefit or compensation, it is necessary to clarify whether it is valid in another locality.

Pension Lawyer

Due to the complexity and inconsistency of some provisions of the Russian pension system, citizens may require the help of a qualified specialist.

It is best to begin to understand the issue and consult with specialists long before the age of expected retirement.

The first step is to go to your individual page on the Pension Fund website and check the integrity of your past and present employers. If one of them has not paid insurance premiums, it is best to file a lawsuit right now, without delay. Then the “office” may be liquidated, and the responsible persons and archives may disappear without a trace.

When you may need it: possible difficulties when applying for a pension

The most common problems for which it makes sense to seek qualified advice are: recent years are the following:

• challenging errors in calculating length of service;
• confirmation of rights in case of clerical errors and inaccuracies in documents issued by the employer;
• lack of information about insurance premiums for the employee;
• confirmation of the right to more early age going on vacation, including when changing the list of professions and categories of beneficiaries;
• errors in IPC calculations when indexing or changing local legislation;
• confirmation of the loss of a breadwinner;
• moving and desire to receive a pension to an address that does not coincide with registration;
• desire to receive compensation for the funded part from non-state funds.

In many cases, if the rights of the future pensioner are clear, they will have to be defended in court. Even if there are already thousands of court decisions in favor of pensioners, due to gaps in the legislation, everyone has to file a claim individually.

Free lawyer for pensioners not allowed in court. And without consulting a lawyer, not everyone can understand the issue and file a claim.

Services of a lawyer on pension issues

A specialist providing advice to potential and existing pensioners must not only know the laws well, but also have experience in handling such cases, be aware of all changes and judicial practice, clearly explain to the citizen his rights and the procedure for action in each specific situation.

Experienced lawyer for pensioners can do a lot:

• study all documents and materials in detail, give a legal assessment of the possibility of achieving better conditions upon retirement and its further recalculations;
• write with him applications to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, requests to various organizations, a lawsuit;
• represent the interests of a citizen in court;
• challenge the decision of the authority if necessary;
• check the payment calculation and identify errors;
• conduct correspondence with the Pension Fund and other organizations;
• request documents from archives;
