Features of pension provision for prosecutors, investigators, and customs officers (compared to pension provision for persons who served in military service and service in internal affairs bodies) are reflected in the by-laws. These acts develop and specify the provisions of the Law on Pensions for Military Personnel, taking into account the specifics of the activities of prosecutors and investigators, which are taken into account when assigning pensions.

The most important distinctive features in the pension provision of these persons are related to the procedure for calculating length of service for assigning a pension for long service. The procedure for calculating length of service and the rules for assigning this pension are approved by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Pension provision for certain categories of citizens

Citizens of the Russian Federation who have served in the military or other equivalent service may be provided with an old-age labor pension (including early) or a disability labor pension in the manner and under the conditions determined by the Law on labor pensions. In this case, the transformation of pension rights acquired during the period of service into calculated pension capital occurs if the following conditions are simultaneously met:

  1. during the period of service, these citizens were not covered by compulsory pension insurance;
  2. they were discharged from service no earlier than 2002;
  3. they have not acquired the right to a long service pension, a disability pension or a monthly lifelong allowance financed from the federal budget.

Since these persons were not subject to compulsory pension insurance and no insurance premiums were paid for them, they pension capital is formed from federal budget funds, which are transferred to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. In this case, these persons acquire the status of insured persons.

The amount of funds credited to the individual personal account of these insured persons is determined depending on the length of service that took place no earlier than 2002. The conversion of the pension rights of the insured persons into the calculated pension capital is carried out when these persons are assigned the insurance part of the old-age labor pension (labor pension). disability).

The periods of service taken into account when converting the pension rights of insured persons into the calculated pension capital are not included in the length of service, taking into account which a long-service pension or monthly lifetime allowance is assigned.

These conditions relate to the status of a citizen, his age, the availability of general and special insurance period, reasons for leaving your last job. The pension is assigned no earlier than two years before the age at which the old-age labor pension is assigned on a general basis or early in accordance with the Law on Labor Pensions.

Table 7.1. Conditions for assigning early pensions to citizens recognized as unemployed

The size of the pension assigned under the Employment Law is determined according to the rules for calculating the insurance part of the old-age labor pension. However, this pension is paid from the federal budget, therefore this pension, being essentially a state pension, contains elements characteristic of a labor (insurance) pension.

The payment of pensions established for unemployed citizens stops upon entering work, the duration of which is included in the insurance period. After termination of the specified work, the pension payment is restored.

Monthly life allowance for a retired judge

A special type of security, which is similar in purpose to a pension, is the monthly lifetime allowance of a judge. This type of payment is provided for by the Federal Constitutional Law of July 21, 1994 No. 1-FKZ “On the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation” and the Law on the Status of Judges.

  1. or has at least 20 years of experience as a judge;
  2. or has reached the age of 55 years (men) and 50 years (women) and has less than 20 years of experience as a judge;

Insurance and government supplements to pensions

Insurance supplements to pensions

The pension reform, the implementation of which began in 2002, provided for the formation of professional pension systems. The absence of a fundamental (framework) law in this area leads to the emergence of separate laws, the purpose of which is to increase the level of pension provision for certain categories of citizens in connection with their implementation of certain long-term professional activities.

One of these laws is the Law on Additional Social Security for Flight Crew Members. Since 2011, the Law on Additional social security employees of coal industry organizations. Additional pension provision carried out in the form of establishing a monthly supplement to the pension at the expense of additional contributions paid by employers for the intended purpose of paying this supplement. Additional payments are established as an additional guarantee in connection with harmful, dangerous, stressful and difficult working conditions of a special nature.

Additional contributions are paid by the relevant employers in addition to the total amount of insurance contributions provided for by the compulsory pension insurance system. The amount of the additional tariff depends on the category of citizens for whom the surcharge is established (Table 7.4).

Table 7.4. Additional tariff of insurance premiums, at the expense of which an insurance supplement to the pension is established

Such an additional payment is provided for by Federal Law No. 3-FZ of May 8, 1994 “On the status of a member of the Federation Council and the status of a deputy of the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation” and is established for the pension assigned under the Law on Labor Pensions or the Law on Employment.

The monthly supplement to the pension is set in such an amount that the amount of the pension and the monthly supplement to it is, when exercising the powers of a State Duma deputy (member of the Federation Council) from one year to three years - 55%, over three years - 75% of the monthly monetary remuneration. The amount of the monthly supplement to the pension is recalculated when the monthly monetary remuneration of a deputy of the State Duma (member of the Federation Council) of the current convocation is increased in a centralized manner.

Payment of the monthly supplement to the pension is suspended when filling a government position in the Russian Federation, a government position in a constituent entity of the Russian Federation, a state civil service position or a municipal position in the municipal service.

A monthly supplement to the pension is not established for a citizen of the Russian Federation who has been assigned a long-service pension or monthly lifelong maintenance, or has been established with additional lifetime monthly financial support, or in accordance with the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a monthly supplement to the pension has been established.

Additional financial support for special merits

A special type of state supplement to pension is additional material support, which is provided for by the Law on Additional Material Support for Special Merits. Such security is established in addition to the assigned pension or monthly lifelong maintenance and has its own characteristics.

Citizens of the Russian Federation have the right to additional material support, regardless of their place of residence. Additional financial support is established for persons who simultaneously meet two criteria:

  1. receive a pension or monthly lifelong allowance paid to a retired judge;
  2. have state awards or honorary titles for outstanding achievements and special merits provided for by the Law on Additional Material Support for Special Merits.

This Law lists the following state awards and honorary titles, presented in table. 7.6.

Additional financial support is not assigned if the citizen receives other monetary payments, which include:

  • long service pension for persons holding government positions in the Russian Federation and positions in the federal state civil service;
  • additional payments to pensions according to the legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation and acts;
  • salaries for the titles of full member and corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences and branch academies.

Citizens who have the right to additional material support under the Law on Additional Material Support for Special Merits and additional material support under other regulations are assigned one of these payments at their choice.

Additional material support for special merits in monetary terms varies depending on the basis for which it was established (Table 7.7). Its size is calculated as a percentage of the size social pension and amounts to 415, 330 or 250% of the social pension. Additional financial support in the amount of 415% of the social pension is established for persons awarded the title of Hero (USSR, Russian Federation, Socialist Labor), in the amount of 330% - for persons awarded the title of Lenin or State Prize laureate), in the amount of 250% - for Olympic (Paralympic) champions , Deaflympics) games. Citizens awarded orders are included in all three groups, depending on the specific order.

Table 7.7. Amount of additional material support

Payment of additional material support is carried out from the federal budget. When the size of the social pension changes, the amount of additional material support paid increases at the same time. From January 1, 2010, the size of the social pension was 2,562 rubles. per month. From April 1, 2012, the amount of social pension, on the basis of which additional financial support is determined, is 3,626 rubles. 71 kop. per month.

Payment of additional financial support is made simultaneously with the payment of the corresponding pension or lifelong salary of the judge. A special procedure for the payment of additional material support is that it is not paid during the period of performance of paid work (regardless of its nature).

Procedure and terms for assigning pensions

The procedure for assigning and paying pensions is regulated by laws and other regulatory legal acts. The legislation provides for some differences in the assignment and payment of certain types of pensions. But in general, the procedure established for the appointment and payment of labor pensions gives a general idea of this issue regarding deadlines, procedures, required documents, etc. In this regard, these issues are considered primarily using the example of the Law on Labor Pensions.

An application for a labor pension can be made at any time after the right to a labor pension arises, without any time limit. Such an appeal can be submitted in the form of an electronic document, the procedure for execution of which is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation and which is transmitted using public information and telecommunication networks, including the Internet, including a single portal of state and municipal services.

The appointment is made by the body providing pensions at the place of residence of the person applying for the pension. When a pensioner changes his place of residence, the pension is paid at his new place of residence or place of stay.

The pension can be assigned:

  • from the date of application for pension;
  • before the day of applying for a pension;
  • from the date of occurrence of the circumstances provided for by law (without the citizen’s application).

In all these cases, the pension is assigned no earlier than the right to it arises.

By general rule The day of applying for a pension is considered to be:

  • or the day the pension authority receives the application;
  • or the date on the postmark at the place where the application was sent, if it is sent by mail;
  • or the date of filing the application using public information and telecommunication networks, including a unified portal of state and municipal services.

In all cases, the required documents must be submitted along with the application. The documents necessary for the assignment of a labor pension can be requested from the applicant only in cases where the necessary documents or information are not at the disposal of state bodies and local governments. The applicant may submit the documents necessary for the assignment of a labor pension in full on his own initiative.

If not all necessary documents are attached to the application, the obligation to submit which is assigned to the applicant, the pension authority gives the person applying for the pension an explanation of what documents he must submit additionally. If such documents are submitted no later than three months from the date of receipt of the clarification, then the day of application is considered to be one of the specified dates (i.e., either the date of receipt of the application, or the date of sending the application for a pension, or the date of filing the application using information and telecommunication networks ).

Before the day of application, the pension is assigned in the cases presented in table. 7.8.

Table 7.8. Cases of granting a pension earlier than the day of application for it

Without a citizen's request, for example, an old-age pension is assigned to a person receiving a disability pension if he has reached the general retirement age (60 years for men, 55 years for women) and has at least five years of insurance experience. An old-age labor pension is assigned from the day of reaching the specified age on the basis of data available to the pension authority, without requiring an application from the citizen. The pension provision authority, within ten days from the date of the decision to assign an old-age labor pension to the specified person, notifies him of the assignment of this pension to him.

A pension (depending on its type) can be assigned for a certain period or indefinitely (Table 7.9).

Table 7.9. The period for which the pension is established

Since, as a general rule, a citizen has the right to receive one pension, then when grounds arise that give the right to receive different types pensions, he can choose any of them and switch from one pension to another. A transfer from one type of pension to another is made from the 1st day of the month following the month in which the pensioner submitted an application for transfer with all the necessary documents (if they are not in his pension file).

The list of documents required to establish a pension, the rules for applying for a pension, assigning it, transferring from one type of pension to another, paying this pension, maintaining pension documentation, including in electronic form, are established in the manner determined by the Government of the Russian Federation.

An application for a pension or transfer from one type of pension to another is considered no later than ten days from the date of receipt of this application or from the date of submission of additional documents. In case of refusal to satisfy the said application, the pension provision authority, no later than five days after the decision is made, notifies the applicant about this, indicating the reason for the refusal, the procedure for appealing it, and at the same time returns all documents.

Recalculation, indexation, adjustment of pension amounts

Recalculation of pension amount

Thus, an adjustment is made if the pensioner’s individual personal account receives additional amounts of insurance contributions that were not taken into account when calculating the pension earlier.

A pensioner may refuse to adjust the size of his retirement pension upon written application.

Indexation of pension amounts

Indexation is a mechanism for adapting the size of pensions in order to maintain their real size due to rising prices.

Indexation is carried out if during the period determined by the Law on Labor Pensions, the price increase was at least 6%. Thus, the implementation of indexation depends on the period for which the price increase is determined, and on the level of this growth (i.e., on whether the price increase reaches the key parameter - 6% during this period) (Table 7.11).

If prices rise by less than 6% over a specified period, the indexation period increases.

Table 7.11. Terms for indexing pension amounts

The indexation coefficient is determined by the Government of the Russian Federation based on the level of price growth for the corresponding period.

In addition to price growth, another criterion is used, which is taken into account for indexation - the average wage growth index in the Russian Federation. If the annual average wage growth index exceeds the total indexation coefficient, then from April 1 next year pensions are further increased (since as wages increase, the amount of insurance contributions paid also increases). However, in this case, not only the annual growth index of average monthly wages is taken into account, but also the growth index of budget revenues of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.
