Putin introduced amendments to the State Duma: a table of changes in the retirement age taking into account the requirements of the president

The reform of the Russian pension system, which began with the publication of Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, involves a gradual increase in the age from which an elderly person will have the right to receive a pension, for men - from 60 to 65 years old and for women - from 55 up to 60. The essence of pension reform is to make pension payments consistent with citizens’ own investments in their future, thereby raising the well-being of the disabled population. Each year worked increases the pension point, also taking into account the size of the official salary.

Retirement age

A gradual increase in the retirement age allows the state, at the expense of freed-up funds from the Pension Fund, to increase the size of the pension of the oldest age categories. Simultaneously with the increase in actual payments, the requirements for pensioners also increase. In 2020, older people were able to receive the calculated part of the old-age insurance pension, from whose official salary contributions were made to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for more than 11 years and whose pension score was at least 18.6. have worked for 15 years and have accumulated at least 30 points by the time of retirement will be able to apply for an insurance pension in 2025

Gradual increase in retirement age

The age at which a Russian citizen can count on accrual of an old-age insurance pension will change by 5 years from 2020 to 2028. For those elderly people who are the first to fall under the pension reform, that is, in accordance with the previous legislation, must apply for a pension in 2020 and 2020, a preferential opportunity is provided to become a pensioner six months earlier than indicated in the current standards.

Benefits for men

Benefits for women

Who can retire early?

According to Russian laws, the right to early retirement depends on the worker’s age, pension points earned by him, profession, and length of service. Even the number of children can affect this date.

You can retire early:

1. Citizens whose work history includes a long period of dangerous or hard work.
2. In accordance with Art. 30 of Law No. 400-FZ, geologists, tractor drivers living in villages, and bus drivers for transporting passengers are allowed to retire before the period established by law.
3. The right to retire based on length of service is granted to doctors, teachers and people in creative professions.
4. Employees who have been laid off can retire early if they have enough length of service and pension points, and there are no more than two years left before the age threshold.

Retirement age for residents of the Far North

Elderly people living in the Far North and equivalent areas have the right to retire 5 years earlier than the age established by the state for the majority of the population. But since the general pension threshold for residents of the Far North, as well as for all Russians, is increasing in connection with the pension reform by 5 years, the preferential difference will be deducted from the age determined taking into account the requirements and benefits of the transition period of the pension reform.

Long service retirement

For teachers, doctors, opera singers, and ballet dancers, pensions are assigned based on length of service without taking into account age. The required work experience of people in such professions, as before, is 25–30 years. The transition period for raising the retirement age postpones the period for registering a pension by the same number of years by which the retirement period of an ordinary Russian has changed since the beginning of the pension reform.

That is, if by the time a doctor has completed his seniority in Russia, the general retirement age has risen by 4 years, then the doctor who has completed his seniority will have to wait 4 years after that before he can retire.

Retirement age for civil servants

The period for changing the pension threshold for civil servants is longer than for ordinary citizens, since their retirement age until 2021 increases per year by only 6 months. After this period, the pension threshold for civil servants will, like that of employees of commercial enterprises, be increased annually by 12 months. By the end of the pension reform, the retirement age for male civil servants will be 65 years.

Women civil servants will only be able to retire at the age of 63, so the adaptation period will last for them until 2034. At the same time, the length of service required to receive a long-service pension will increase by 6 months until it reaches 20 years by 2026. In 2020, female civil servants are granted pension benefits at the age of 56.5 years , and for men at 61.5 years . at least 17 years this year

New in blogs

The Ministry of Labor, on the April instructions of Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, prepared a draft law on raising the retirement age for civil servants - from 60 to 65 years.

The bill, “starting with itself” to raise the retirement age in Russia, turned out to be even tougher than expected.

It does not provide for a transition period, does not make distinctions for men and women, and delays by five years the receipt by officials of not only long-service pensions and the additional payments due to them, but also the insurance pension itself for those who wish to continue serving their homeland at the clerical desk after 60 years.

According to the Ministry of Labor, in 2020 the law will directly affect 5.5 thousand people, the estimated savings will be only 90 million rubles. — the expected political effect from the action is incomparably higher than the budgetary one.

The Ministry of Labor’s project is the first attempt to legislate an increase in the retirement age for a specific group of the population.

Let us recall that at the beginning of this year the topic of raising the retirement age was legalized by public statements by the country's leadership, the question about the prospects for such an increase was asked to Vladimir Putin during his direct line, and the president allowed such a possibility in the future.

The Ministry of Labor began preparing the bill after Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev, speaking in the State Duma in April, suggested that officials “start with themselves” discussing the possibility of raising the retirement age.

As a result, for a significant part of officials, the bill “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts of the Russian Federation Regarding Increasing the Retirement Age for Certain Categories of Citizens” postpones the deadline for receiving two components of payments.

The long-service pension (a monthly supplement to the old-age insurance pension) will be assigned to all categories of the state civil service not from 60, but from 65 years of age.

At the same time, the old-age insurance pension for municipal and federal civil officials (including ministers, deputies and senators) will also be assigned at 65, rather than at 60, provided that they held positions “for which a high or average level of pay is established.” "

As the department explained, in the latter case we are talking about government positions and positions of constituent entities, municipal positions, as well as positions in the state civil service of the highest group of positions.

Judging by the text of the document, a civil servant will be able to leave the civil service at 60 and receive only a standard old-age insurance pension, but will not continue to receive it while remaining in the civil service.

“Today, a long-service pension for a civil servant is established at any time after the appointment of an old-age or disability insurance pension,” explained the head of the Ministry of Labor, Maxim Topilin. “Now we are stipulating that the age at which civil servants will be able to apply for a long-service pension will be increased to 65 years.”

Finally, the bill includes proposals related to raising the retirement age - the minimum length of service in the civil service, which gives the right to a pension for long service, is proposed to be raised from 15 to 20 years. Senators and deputies will be able to receive the right to additional payment after only three years of work, and not one, as now. It is proposed to increase the age limit for civil service from 60 to 65 years.

“A pension, by its legal nature, is compensation for lost earnings, and its payment must be related to its receipt. If earnings are not lost, the payment of insurance pensions formally loses its direct purpose, since in this case there is nothing to replace ,” Maxim Topilin revealed the ideology of the changes yesterday.

Let us note that politically this is an extremely unusual statement: de facto, it can serve as a justification for any scheme of non-payment of pensions and other benefits to working pensioners, despite the fact that the Ministry of Labor previously doubted the validity of such measures, which are usually proposed not by the White House social bloc, but by the Ministry of Finance.

In general, the document does not so much provide for an increase in the retirement age for a narrow segment of the labor market (which can well be regarded as discrimination on professional grounds), but rather encourages civil servants to refuse to retire at 60 years old - the amount of additional payments for length of service is usually greater than the pension itself.

The bill is due to come into force in 2020.

As the Ministry of Labor explained to Kommersant, according to preliminary estimates, next year the changes will directly affect 5.5 thousand civil servants and 55 senators: after increasing the retirement period, only 13 senators and about 500 officials will be able to receive payments under the new rules - Essentially, this is an insignificant measure for the labor market.

Experts have comments both on the technique of reform and on its ideology. Deputy Director of the Institute of Social Analysis and Forecasting of the Russian Presidential Academy of National Economy and Public Administration Yuri Gorlin reminds that even the most drastic proposals of the Ministry of Finance assumed a transitional period of increase - six months per year.

«The creation of separate rules for officials continues the trend towards differentiation of the pension system, when different insurance conditions are created for different groups of the population, says Oksana Sinyavskaya from the Center for Analysis of Income and Living Standards at the Higher School of Economics. — Many countries are facing this now: to a greater extent in Latin America, to a lesser extent in Eastern Europe. This creates similar problems everywhere: the pension system becomes opaque both for the state that controls spending on different groups, and for citizens themselves to understand their pension prospects «.

She, however, notes that by proposing to increase the retirement age for officials, the government took the right step.

“However, this will do little for the pension system as a whole - of all categories of workers whose retirement age would need to be reformed, officials are the smallest group in terms of numbers,” the expert notes. Let us remind you that teachers, doctors, security officials, as well as citizens working in the Far North and a number of other categories also have the right to early retirement.

The initiator of the increase, Alexey Kudrin, subsequently hopes to raise the retirement age for the entire population of the country in an accelerated manner.

From the point of view of saving budget funds, the adoption of the bill by the Ministry of Labor is insignificant. From the department’s calculations it follows that the federal budget could save 91.3 million rubles in 2020 on the payment of long-service pensions and additional payments to the insurance pensions of officials.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the costs of another item - for the remuneration of those who will continue to work instead of a pension.

“We do not have specific information on this group of citizens, but about half of Russians in general are now inclined to continue working after reaching retirement age. In the case of officials, for whom, due to significant pension provision, the development of length of service is important, this share is likely to be even greater ,” concludes Oksana Sinyavskaya.

New rules for early retirement

Changes in pension legislation have introduced additional grounds for early retirement:

1. Mothers with many children received the right to receive pension payments before reaching the age required by law if they have 15 years of work experience. A woman with three children will be able to retire 3 years ahead of schedule. Mother of four children - 4 years early. A woman with 5 or more children can still retire at age 50.
2. Women (minimum 55 years old) whose work experience exceeds 37 years, and men who have officially worked for more than 42 years (not before turning 60 years old) can retire 2 years earlier.
3. Unemployed people who are unable to find a job can apply for a pension benefit 2 years earlier than the officially established period, taking into account the transition period.

Women

Minimum work experience for retirement

To retire in 2020, you must work at least 11 years, which includes:

1. That period of official employment when a citizen or his employer paid insurance contributions to the Pension Fund.
2. 1.5 years of maternity leave (no more than 6 years in total for several children), if the mother has work experience before the start of such a period or after its end.
3. Time to care for a disabled person of group I, a disabled child or an elderly person over 80 years old.
4. Time of military or equivalent service.
5. In accordance with Article 12 of Law No. 400-FZ, work experience also includes the period of receiving benefits for temporary disability, unemployment, and time spent moving for employment in the direction of the employment service.
6. 5 years from the period of residence in an area where it is impossible for spouses of military personnel and diplomats to find employment will be counted towards the pension experience.

Note! All this data is converted into pension points. To retire in 2020, you need to earn 18.6 retirement points. The number of years required to obtain official work experience and, accordingly, pension points will increase according to changes in the age threshold.

Latest news about the moratorium on increases

At this point in time, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation has introduced a law into the lower house of parliament providing for a moratorium on increasing the working age threshold. The project caused a positive response among deputies and the population.

The bill is under consideration in the relevant office of the State Duma. From the point of view of political experts, the moratorium is unlikely to be approved.

The majority is still of the opinion that an increase is the most promising way to improve the economic situation in the country and the social well-being of citizens.

On June 30, the Communist Party of the Russian Federation made a statement about the initiation of a national referendum on the moratorium. Preparations for it have already begun.

To sum up, we can say that the pension threshold will be increased one way or another. At this point in time, the negative reaction of the country's residents has prompted the cabinet of ministers to think about possible amendments to the new legislation. The summer session in the State Duma will show what the final draft will look like.

Retirement age in other countries

Raising the retirement age today is a global trend. Reforms similar to Russian ones are already underway or planned in countries such as Japan, Spain, Ukraine, the Czech Republic, and China. In England, for example, by 2046 it is planned to raise the pension threshold to 68 years. Belgium plans to raise the retirement age to 67 by 2030. From 2024 to 2033, Austrians will equalize the pension rights of men and women, raising the pension threshold for the latter to 65 years.

In Germany

The average life expectancy of a German is 81 years, of which only in the last 14 years does the average person become so frail that he is no longer able to ensure his existence. The reform, which began in 2012, should increase the retirement age to 67 by 2031.

Residents of Germany born in 1965 and later will only be able to apply for a pension benefit upon reaching the age of 67, that is, 2 years later than those born, for example, in 1950, and 1 year later than those born in 1960. The pension payment per month is on average 1,100 euros. The minimum benefit is 374 euros.

In China

In China, with an average life expectancy of 67 years, only government employees can receive a pension. On average it is 2350 yuan (almost $367). At the moment, the country is also undergoing a reform, as a result of which the age of transition to state support for the Chinese will increase from 60 to 65 years.

Women whose specific profession is physical labor will begin to retire at 55 instead of the current 50, and workers in the intellectual sphere will be able to apply for a pension benefit upon reaching 60 instead of the usual 55 for the previous generation.

IN THE USA

The average life expectancy of an American is 78.5 years. At the same time, American residents, regardless of gender, apply for a pension benefit, the average amount of which is $1,200, at the age of 66. Changes in the country's pension legislation, recently approved by the US Senate, are designed to annually increase the pension threshold for those born after 1954 by 2 months.

In France

The French, whose life expectancy is on average 83 years, retire at least at 62 years. But only disabled people will receive payments from the state at this age. The real retirement threshold in this country is 67 years. The average payment to an elderly Frenchman who has crossed the age limit set by the state is equivalent to 700 US dollars.

In Japan

Residents of this country, with an average life expectancy of 84 years, become pensioners between the ages of 62 and 71 (last year the upper limit was 70 years). The later a Japanese person retires, the greater the amount of benefits accrued to him. So, when applying for a pension at the age of 62, the amount of monthly payments will be equivalent to $1,050. For those who supported themselves until age 65, the benefit is paid in an amount equivalent to $1,500, and those who were able to survive until age 70 will receive the equivalent of $2,100.

In Ukraine

Ukraine, whose retirement age, with an average life expectancy of 72.5 years, as in Russia, was 60 years for men and 55 for women, and the average pension in hryvnia corresponds to an amount equal to 140 US dollars, is currently carrying out a reform, aimed at gradually increasing the pension threshold for women up to 60 years of age.

In Belarus

The reform to increase the retirement threshold in Belarus, with an average life expectancy of 74 years, has been going on for the third year, increasing the pension threshold by 6 months annually. In 2020, men aged 62 and women aged 57 can apply for pension benefits in this country. The average pension of a resident of Belarus is equivalent to 175 US dollars.

In Kazakhstan

The pension reform of this country, whose average life expectancy is 68.5 years, has increased the retirement age of Kazakhstanis to 63 years. And if for men the increase in the threshold was only 3 years, then for women the size of the adjustment was 8 years.

In order to adapt the female part of the population to the new rules, the transition to them is carried out in stages. The pension threshold will be increased annually by 6 months until 2027. The average pension benefit for a Kazakh citizen for 2020 is 90,000 tenge, which is equivalent to 216 US dollars.

Approved provisions of pension reform in Russia

The federal law on raising the retirement age, signed the day before by the President of the Russian Federation, provides for:

1. From January 1, 2020, a gradual increase in the age at which an old-age insurance pension is assigned for citizens of the Russian Federation:
   up to 65 years in men;
2. up to 60 years in women.
3. In addition, the age at which family members of a deceased breadwinner may be declared incapacitated to receive a survivor's insurance pension is increasing. This age is similar to the new retirement age.
4. For those citizens who in 2020 and 2020 will reach the retirement age established by law as amended in 2018, there is an opportunity to retire six months earlier than established by this Federal Law.
5. At the same time, persons with an insurance record of at least 42 and 37 years (men and women, respectively) are given the right to receive an old-age insurance pension 2 years earlier than reaching the retirement age generally established for all citizens. But for those citizens who worked in the Far North and equivalent areas, the retirement age is also increased by 5 years for both men and women.
6. For public sector employees: teaching, medical and creative workers who have the right to early retirement taking into account special length of service, a gradual increase in the retirement age by 5 years was also introduced.
7. Mothers of many children received the right to early retirement if they have 15 years of insurance experience (women who gave birth and raised 3 children will receive pensions at 57 years old, women who gave birth and raised 4 children - at 56 years old, women who gave birth and raised 5 and more than children, pensions, as now, will be granted at age 55).
8. Citizens holding government positions in the Russian Federation, government positions in constituent entities of the Russian Federation, positions in the state civil service of the Russian Federation and positions in the municipal service, that is, officials, will retain their retirement age:
   65 years for men;
9. Age 63 for women, established by legislative amendments introduced in 2020. In this case, the age increase will be carried out by 1 year per year (currently by 6 months per year).

The current procedure for assigning a funded pension, an urgent pension payment and a lump sum payment to citizens remains in the order currently in force.

At the same time, citizens receive the right to increased pensions and social protection in the form of a new procedure for indexing insurance pensions. This means that from January 1, 2020, pensions will be indexed above the inflation rate. From January 1, 2020, the fixed payment to the insurance pension for pensioners with at least 30 years of work experience in agriculture will be increased by 25%. To provide citizens of pre-retirement age with measures of social support and benefits, a special procedure for the exchange of information will be established between the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, authorities, employers and citizens.

From January 1, 2020, a new procedure for paying unemployment benefits to citizens recognized as unemployed is being introduced:

• the duration of benefit payment has been reduced to 6 months;
• the benefit amount was increased from 850 rubles to 1,500 rubles per month - minimum, from 4,900 rubles to 8,000 rubles per month - maximum;
• for citizens of pre-retirement age (that is, within 5 years before the age entitling them to an old-age insurance pension), unemployment benefits will be paid for up to 12 months, and its maximum amount will be 11,280 rubles. per month.
• For citizens with more than 25 and 20 years of service for men and women, respectively, the duration of benefit payment increases by 2 weeks for each year of work exceeding the insurance period of the specified duration, but not more than 24 months.

In addition, citizens recognized as officially unemployed retain the right to receive an old-age pension early (2 years before the age that gives the right to receive such a pension, including early).

What can people of pre-retirement age expect?

The older a person gets, the more difficult it is for him to find a job. And if earlier men, starting from the age of 60, and women from 55 years old, could no longer think about tomorrow, now, due to the increase in the retirement age, this age group has turned out to be the most vulnerable in social terms. To smooth out the period of adaptation to the pension reform measures, Russian legislation has provided a number of benefits for “pre-retirees”.

Who are pre-retirees?

The concept of “pre-retirement age” was introduced by Art. 5 Federal Law No. 1032-1 “On employment in the Russian Federation” dated April 19, 1991. Art. 1 Federal Law No. 350 dated October 3, 2018 changed the number of pre-retirement years from 2 to 5. The moment of pre-retirement age is counted by subtracting 5 years from the retirement age that has increased due to the pension reform. The beginning of the pre-retirement period is also calculated for employees who have the right to receive early retirement benefits.

How to apply for pre-retirement status?

Pension Fund employees automatically assign pre-retirement status to an elderly person based on information received by the Pension Fund. You can clarify the status of a pre-retirement person using a certificate that he can receive from the Pension Fund, through the “Personal Account” of the pre-retirement fund on the Pension Fund website, or through a special service of the Pension Fund through a request made by an organization that needs confirmation of the status of a pre-retirement person, based on his application submitted to this organization.

Attention! Pre-retirement status can only be assigned to a citizen whose work experience and pension points entitle him to receive an old-age insurance pension. The titles “Veteran of Military Service” and “Veteran of Labor” give this right.

Benefits for people of pre-retirement age

For pre-retirement people, municipalities provide a number of benefits:

1. Free travel on public transport, metro and intercity transport to the place of sanatorium-resort treatment if such treatment is required for medical reasons.
2. Free trips to the sanatorium.
3. Free dental prosthetics.
4. Benefits in real estate taxation.

The titles “Veteran of Military Service” and “Veteran of Labor” in combination with pre-retirement age give the right to a discount in payment for utilities, telephone communications and cash payments, both one-time and permanent (for example, a monthly cash payment for veterans living in Moscow).

Advanced training program

For people of pre-retirement age, in case of problems with employment, the legislation provides for a program of professional retraining in employment centers with a scholarship equal to the minimum wage (Government Order No. 3025-r dated December 30, 2018).

Exemption from work to undergo medical examination

Free medical examination for people over 50 years of age is provided regardless of pre-retirement status. But the state allocates 2 paid working days for this event to pre-retirement people (Part 2 of Article 185.1 of the Labor Code).

Responsibility for the dismissal of pre-retirees

For the unjustified dismissal of a pre-retirement employee, the state punishes the employer with a fine of 200,000 rubles. or in the amount of 18 months' salary, 360 hours of forced labor. Denial of employment due to pre-retirement age entails criminal liability under Art. 144.1 CC.

Increased unemployment benefits

In accordance with Art. 34.2 of Federal Law No. 1032-1, in case of registration with the Employment Center as an unemployed person, for the first 3 months the pre-retirement worker will receive 75% of the lost salary, then 4 months - 60% and 45% before the end of 2 years, if the man’s experience is 25 years, and for women - 20. The maximum amount of unemployment benefits paid cannot exceed 11,280 rubles.

What officials say

The author of the bill proposing a change in the working age is the former Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation. These adjustments were primarily related to the budget deficit. By reducing the number of pensioners, the deficit can be reduced by three.

Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev says that the pension system dates back to 1932. Since that time, it has not undergone significant changes and has become obsolete. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust this system to maintain balance in the labor market.

At the same time, more and more pensioners over working age (currently 60 years for men and 55 years for women, respectively) prefer to work rather than sit at home. Changes in the level and average life expectancy played a role in this issue.

In turn, Pension Funds consider the initiative to gradually increase the pension threshold questionable. The increase itself is a positive decision, but economically ineffective.

By 2024, average life expectancy will reach 75 years and pensioners will become a third of the total working population.

Thus, the PFR strategy that was proposed to the government looks like this:

• an increase in the working age qualification for the male part of the population must be carried out annually, adding 3 months to the age limit;
• in turn, for the female part of the population, the increase in the age limit will be 6 months.

Nevertheless, the initiatives are on the table of the Cabinet of Ministers and are being discussed, said the Minister of Finance of the Russian Federation. In addition, the new reform will introduce an improved system of pension savings, which should remove negative sentiments among the population.

According to statements from the State Duma, we can conclude that the increase will happen in any case. Some changes will be introduced gradually.

As a result of these amendments, protest events will take place in Russia, which will bring together those who are against these decisions of the government.

The President, in turn, speaks positively about the new adjustments proposed by the Cabinet of Ministers. But, nevertheless, he gives instructions to finalize the project, calculate all possible risks in order to carry out the transition without any obstacles.

Some people's representatives put forward the position that such adjustments could, on the contrary, worsen the already decadent mood in the economy even further. The load on socially important structures of the state will increase. At the same time, the number of citizens capable of working will increase by approximately 1.5 million.

What remains the same?

The retirement age for Russians who have the right to receive early retirement benefits will not change:

1. Before the established deadline, pensions will be assigned primarily to those citizens for whose work in difficult or dangerous conditions the employer made additional insurance contributions at special rates. As before, workers in hot shops, railway transport, the mining industry, rescuers, and bus drivers will be able to retire earlier.
2. Mothers of many children, people with disabilities and trade workers living in the Far North and equivalent regions will be able to retire early.
3. Women and men whose pensions are granted before they reach retirement age due to man-made and radiation disasters.
4. Test pilots and other citizens, the full list of which is determined by Art. 30 of the Law of December 28, 2018 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”.

Assignment of social pension

If the required number of pension points has not been accumulated and there is no 11 years of service (as of 2020), upon reaching the age of 65 for men and 60 for women, a social pension will be assigned. The pension reform involves a gradual increase in this age to 68 years for women and 70 years for men.

Payment of pension savings

The age limit for receiving urgent and one-time payments and using the funded part of pension deposits remains for women 55 years old and 60 years old for men.

Important! The assignment of savings in accordance with the conditions of reforming the Russian pension system is possible only if there is a minimum length of service and pension points required for the current year.

Retirement in areas equated to the Far North

Residents of the Far North retire 5 years earlier.

The retirement period for northerners, as well as residents of territories equal in status to the Far North, is 5 years lower than that established in the country. This figure remains the same today, so the retirement age after the reform will be 55 years for women and 60 years for men.

The required work experience remains the same:

• 15 years for the regions of the Far North and 20 for equivalent regions;
• 20 and 15 years of insurance experience for men and women.

Those northerners who are at the pre-retirement stage can also stop working early six months before the designated retirement age.

There is a separate category of residents who will not need to adapt to the new established order. They will retire at the same age as previously established. This category of persons includes: indigenous northern peoples and residents of the North who have raised two or more children.

Increased indexation of insurance pensions

The indexation coefficient of the fixed part of insurance pensions, which began in Russia in 2020, from January 1, 2020 is 6.6%, which exceeds the forecast inflation rate for 2019 by 3.6%. The size of the fixed payment today is 5,686 rubles 25 kopecks.

To calculate the amount of the additional payment, you need to multiply the amount corresponding to the fixed share of the pension by 0.066. The cost of a pension point, on the basis of which the size of the future pension of a person who has reached retirement age is determined, is 93 rubles for 2020.

Increasing pensions for rural pensioners

Since 2020, citizens living in rural areas also have the right to increase the size of the insurance part of the pension, which is fixed, for disability or old age. This surcharge is 25%. In order for this part of the pension to be accrued, three conditions must be met simultaneously:

• have worked in agriculture for 30 years or more;
• actually live in a village;
• not have a job that generates income.

Since the beginning of this year, the increase amounted to 1.3 thousand rubles. per month. Those with III disability group receive in excess of 667 rubles. monthly. Recalculation is carried out automatically. Documents can be provided at any time convenient for the citizen.

All activities before 1992, regardless of its type or position, are included in the total length of service.

Increasing pensions for rural pensioners

Since 2020, elderly village residents with 30 years of work experience in agriculture have received the right, in case of living in rural areas after retirement and from that moment on they have no official employment, to a 25% bonus to its fixed part upon reaching the established state retirement age.

Significant changes due to the pension reform that have taken place over the past 16 years in Russia and have affected all older people require careful monitoring of annual changes in Russian legislation. Timely acquaintance with the conditions for receiving an old-age insurance pension can not only bring your retirement date closer and increase the amount of monthly payments, but also help you obtain additional benefits before this moment arrives.
