You can only obtain pensioner status from the Pension Fund of Russia, but you can also assign a pension through Multifunctional Centers. Not all regional MFCs provide such a service, so before visiting the nearest center, it is recommended to check whether it is possible to apply for a pension specifically at this MFC.

Does MFC provide pension registration services?

The assignment of pensions is within the competence of the Pension Fund. But the MFC provides the same services to Russian citizens. Before making an appointment, it is worth checking whether a particular multifunctional office provides assistance in applying for old-age benefits. Previously, the MFC and the Pension Fund sign an agreement on information exchange and interaction, so not all center offices provide such a service to clients.

MFCs have the right to process payments on an extraterritorial basis. A citizen can contact a conveniently located “My Documents” office, regardless of place of residence.

Other advantages of the MFC include convenient work hours and no days off. Whereas the Pension Fund accepts applications within a limited time period, which is inconvenient for working pre-retirees.

Who is eligible for benefits?

The legislation of the Russian Federation determines the category of citizens who have rights to disability benefits. To obtain it, the following mandatory conditions must be met:

• permanent registration in Russia;
• medical report diagnosing disability;
• application to the Pension Fund.

The disability pension is paid until the old-age benefit is established. When retirement age is reached, but there is no insurance experience, a social pension is paid. For males this age is 65 years, for females - 60.

Filling out an application

The application for pension payments is formed according to the approved form from the Resolution of the Board of the Pension Fund of 2020 No. 16p. Through it, the following information is transmitted to the Pension Fund:

• FULL NAME. the applicant;
• SNILS;
• residential address;
• passport details;
• Date of Birth;
• contacts;
• type of pension;
• information about the representative;
• information that affects the amount of payments (the presence of dependents, place of work, etc.);
• security question for exchanging information with the Pension Fund by phone;
• the method of sending notifications about the processing of the application (written or electronically);
• familiarization with responsibility for providing false information;
• signature.

Future pensioners have two options for filing an application:

• In electronic form through the government services portal (after transferring the information, the original documents are provided to the center).
• Filling out on site at the time of transfer of information at the department of the multifunctional center.

If necessary, employees will help with filling out the application and point out mistakes made by the future pensioner.

Is it possible to apply for a pension in Moscow through the MFC?

Multifunctional centers are located in many cities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation. The organization provides public services in various spheres of citizens' lives. At the department you can apply for social benefits, subsidies, benefits, and pensions. The MFC has advantages compared to municipal departments:

• pre-registration;
• minimum queue waiting time;
• unhindered submission of documents in one place;
• fast service by staff.

Please note:
To submit an application for a pension based on age, health, or social status, you must clarify which nearest branch of the Moscow multifunctional center provides this type of service.

Submission procedure and deadlines

The document submission procedure involves going through the following stages:

1. Submitting an application with a set of supporting information to an MFC employee. Before visiting the My Documents office, you should pre-register for a convenient time, which will allow you to avoid waiting in line. Citizens are not limited in terms of filing an application for pension payments.
2. A center employee accepts documents, makes copies or checks them with the originals. The application of the future pensioner is registered during the day.
3. The multifunctional center redirects the information received from the pre-retirement pensioner to the Pension Fund. The center itself does not review documents or assign payments. He acts only as an intermediary, transmitting information from citizens to the Pension Fund in electronic form.
4. Up to 10 days are allotted for consideration of the application and assignment of a pension, excluding the deadlines for sending documents (when transmitting information through the MFC, the processing time increases to 16 days). During this period, Pension Fund employees check the received data and decide whether the applicant is entitled to a pension. The time frame for verifying information is increased in order to verify information about the applicant’s work experience before 2002.
5. The applicant is notified of the decision in writing and, if the verdict is positive, monthly pension payments are assigned. They are accrued starting from the day you contact the multifunctional center.

Types of pensions that can be applied for at the MFC

In the MFC (My Documents office) you can apply for a pension:

• insurance and social - by age, disabled people and those who have lost their breadwinner;
• cumulative if the funds were generated in the Pension Fund;
• on state pension provision (for employees of law enforcement agencies, cosmonauts, “Chernobyl” survivors);
• federal supplements up to the pension subsistence level.

Based on Order of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 43-r dated January 19, 2020, multifunctional centers accept applications for payments regardless of the registration address and location of the applicant (on an extraterritorial basis).

Most recipients of payments are old-age pensioners. This

• men over 60 years old, women over 55 years old with a further increase in age, starting in 2020 on the basis of Federal Law No. 350 of October 3, 2018 “On amendments to certain legislative acts of the Russian Federation on the appointment and payment of pensions”;
• state civil servants who have reached 61.5 or 55.5 years for men and women, respectively (in 2020);
• persons who have the right to retire at the age of 40–55 (workers in the mining, forestry, fishing industries, civil aviation pilots, teachers, residents of the Far North, etc.);
• citizens 65 (60) years of age applying for a social pension who do not have sufficient work experience or coefficient.

The decision to assign payments is made by the territorial division of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. You can contact it through the MFC.

Applying for a pension through the MFC is in many ways easier than directly from the Fund. My Documents offices are open almost every day at a time convenient for citizens, while visiting hours at the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are limited. MFCs are more accessible geographically. Center staff will explain the procedure step by step, help with filling out the paperwork, and tell you how to correct the error. Their work meets the high standards of service adopted at the federal level.

MFCs do not provide pension services to Russians who have gone abroad for permanent residence and are not registered in our country.

Corrections of errors, clarification of experience

Pension Fund specialists may request additional information from the citizen. Then the decision on granting a pension is postponed for 10 days from the moment the requested data is received from the applicant.

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation assigns payments taking into account the information provided by the boss during quarterly reporting. Regarding certain periods of a citizen’s work, the fund may not have correct information, which complicates the registration process. The reasons for the lack of data on work experience are errors in the work book, dishonest actions of the employer, etc.

Nuances of applying for a pension

The specificity of applying for a disability and survivors' pension consists in the Pension Fund's request for additional documents on the applicant's status. The second nuance is the mandatory regular confirmation of the right to pension payments.

By disability

You can receive disability benefits only based on the results of a medical examination, which will determine the group and its validity period. Payments will be assigned from the date of receipt of the ITU conclusion.

The right to payments must be confirmed regularly. The frequency of repeated medical examinations will be determined by doctors. As a standard, disabled people of groups 2 and 3 undergo re-examination annually, group 1 – once every 2 years, or are completely exempt from re-examination.

You will have to submit supporting documents for the extension of disability payments to the Pension Fund.

In case of loss of a breadwinner

To apply for survivor benefits, you must provide death documentation. Typically, minor children of deceased parents receive state support on this basis. Payments are provided up to 18 years of age, but are extended up to 23 years of age (if the recipient is studying full-time at a college or university).

When adults receive a pension, they regularly have to confirm their full-time studies at a university and provide a certificate to the Pension Fund. After employment, the right to assistance from the state will be lost. Supporting documents are accepted only at the Pension Fund.

Reasons for refusal and appeal

The main reason for refusal is the citizen’s lack of right to receive payments. A negative decision by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on a pensioner’s application may be due to a lack of work experience or pension points, or failure to reach retirement age. Another reason is inaccurate information provided in the application.

The received refusal from the Pension Fund of Russia is appealed pre-trial and in court. Also, a pre-retirement employee has the right to complain about the inaction of MFC employees if it led to an unreasonable delay in the provision of services.

Is it possible to obtain a pension certificate from the MFC in 2020?

Citizens cannot apply for a pension certificate through the MFC in 2020. The certificate was abolished in 2020 for economic reasons and is no longer issued. At the same time, previously issued certificates continue to be valid and retain legal force.

If it is necessary to confirm their status, pensioners request a certificate from the Pension Fund. It will be required when applying for benefits, benefits and compensation.

Citizens have the right to apply for a pension through the MFC. Through the center, payments for old age, disability, and loss of a breadwinner are processed. The procedure involves submitting an application with a set of supporting information to the MFC. The service is provided free of charge. The Pension Fund of Russia has up to 10 days to assign payments. Illegal actions and inactions of Pension Fund and MFC employees are subject to challenge.

Conditions for assigning a social pension

If a person moves to another region, an application is drawn up and submitted to the Pension Fund branch.
The employee sends the request to the place where he was issued accruals before the move. When a citizen receives money on a card, he can still apply to transfer payments to another address. MFC refused
