Minimum 25 years of experience. General, insurance, northern and special: what future pensioners need to know about the length of service. How much experience does a man need?

It depends how old you are, the single social tax and insurance premiums paid into the pension fund. A citizen (both men and women) must have at least five such years. And if a man has reached the age of 60, and a woman has reached 55, then they have the right to an old-age labor pension (Article 7 of the Federal Law “On labor pensions in the Russian Federation").

This does not apply to citizens entitled to early old age pension. Their insurance period is determined somewhat differently. Today, the minimum length of service (insurance) that gives the right to a labor pension is five years. Moreover, it is not even necessary to work for all these five years: women can include in their length of service two leaves for the birth of a child and caring for him - one and a half years each (that is, three years out of five), men - a two-year period of service in the Armed Forces.

So, let's remember: insurance experience ( seniority) is the period of work or other activity during which monetary contributions were made to Pension Fund RF (clause 1 of article 10 of the law).

The insurance period is calculated according to the calendar. If several periods coincide in time, one of such periods is taken into account at the choice of the person who applied for the establishment of the specified pension.

I will list all other periods that, along with periods of work, are counted in the insurance period (Article 11 of the law):

1) the period of military service, as well as other service equivalent to it, provided for by the Law of the Russian Federation “On pension provision persons who passed military service, service in the internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, authorities for control over the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penal system, and their families”;

2) the period of receiving compulsory social insurance benefits during the period of temporary disability;

3) the period of care of one of the parents for each child until he reaches the age of one and a half years, but not more than three years in total;

4) the period of receiving unemployment benefits, the period of participation in paid public works and the period of moving in the direction of the state employment service to another area for employment;

6) the period of care provided by an able-bodied person for a group I disabled person, a disabled child or a person who has reached the age of 80 years;

7) the period of residence of spouses of military personnel performing military service under a contract, together with their spouses, in areas where they could not work due to lack of employment opportunities, but not more than five years in total;

8) the period of residence abroad of spouses of employees sent to diplomatic missions and consular offices of the Russian Federation, permanent missions of the Russian Federation to international organizations, trade missions of the Russian Federation in foreign countries, representative offices of federal executive authorities, state bodies under federal executive authorities or as representatives of these bodies abroad, as well as to representative offices of state institutions of the Russian Federation (state bodies and state institutions of the USSR) abroad and international organizations, the list of which is approved by the government of the Russian Federation, but not more than five years in total. selnov.ru›

First of all, I would like to figure out whether the amount of the accrued pension affects the number of years of your total work experience. It turns out that it does, but under certain conditions:

when a person began working practice as a minor and is currently total experience work corresponds to 35 years for the female part of the population and 40 years for men;
if, a citizen, having worked a certain number of years and provided himself with work experience in order to safely retire in old age or with the expectation of length of service, but during the period of labor practice he was awarded all kinds of awards and incentives, these include awards for all kinds of labor achievements.

To obtain the title of labor veteran, you must contact directly the social security authorities that serve the area in which you live, you will be issued an appropriate certificate.

The dependence of the pension on the total length of service exists when a citizen has over 15 years of experience earned in the north. In the case where the total insurance experience is at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women.

Just like pension payments, benefits provided for the title of veteran of labor are assigned in a similar manner and are provided in the interests of regional authorities. However, not everything depends on them; there is a list of benefits that is mandatory for all Russian regions. In any case, labor veterans are entitled to:

50% reimbursement for utility bills;
movement on public transport only free;
if you have been awarded the title, and you continue to work, then your management is obliged to provide you with leave at a time convenient for you, and not in turn;
Many medical services are also free.

How does a pension depend on length of service 25 40 45 50 years

In fact, the length of service taken into account is not taken into account in the continuity calculation. It may be interrupted for a while maternity leave, with the caveat that he has not exceeded the 5-year barrier for the entire life cycle; he is also interrupted for military service. This does not mean that this period of time will not be taken into account, it is simply calculated according to other criteria. Years of contract service are taken into account. And according to the new legislation, years spent on study are included in the length of service. For being awarded the title of labor veteran, the following benefits are provided:

discount when paying for housing and communal services, at least 50%;
discounted travel on public transport.

For the capital's "Veterans of Labor" the city authorities have provided an additional payment of 495 rubles and this is not all that they are entitled to, in particular:

they can travel on suburban railway transport for free;
if there are medical indications, free sanatorium vouchers are issued;
Dentures can actually be made for free.

Please note that the size of the pension is affected not only by the total length of service, but also by the salary accrued to the person and his contributions, which were transferred to the Pension Fund.

Pension reform since 2019, proposed by the Government and supported by the President, will also affect the so-called “northerners”— Russians working in the Far North (FN) and equivalent areas (MKS). Already from January 1, 2019, for this category of workers, along with others, a gradual increase in the retirement age will begin, which gives the right to early registration of an old-age insurance pension (5 years earlier than the generally established period).

In its final form, as a result of the reform, the retirement age for northerners will increase by 5 years - up to 55 years for women and 60 for men(until the end of 2018, these standards are 50 and 55 years, respectively). However, the requirements for the insurance period necessary to apply for a pension (including the northern period of service) during the reform will not change.

Pension reform for northerners

The main change in pension legislation for northerners will be in increasing age, necessary for retirement, which will be carried out in stages - starting in 2019 until the final values are established in 2023 55 years for women and 60 for men. Thus, in total, the same is offered for men and women increase by 5 years regarding the standards of the old law.

No more changes in the conditions for assigning payments to workers in the KS and ISS areas will not be produced— requirements for the minimum required “northern” experiencewill remain the same .

The retirement age for northerners will be raised according to the following scheme:

Every year, starting from 01/01/2019, he will increase for one year until the final values of 55 and 60 years are set in 2023.
Moreover, in the first 2 years of the new law’s validity, it will be possible to register payments six months earlier deadlines provided for by the new law. Thus:
- to retire in 2019 northerners will be allowed to reach 50.5 years for the female population and 55.5 for the male population (instead of 51 and 56);
- in 2020- having reached 51.5 and 56.5 years, respectively (instead of 52 and 57).
Further increases will occur in accordance with the annual increase - up to 53 and 58 years in 2021, etc. in increments of 1 year until 2023 inclusive (see the retirement schedule by year for workers in the Far North).

Which northerners will be affected by the new pension law?

The changes presented above will affect those citizens who, according to Part 6, Clause 1 of Art. 32 laws “About insurance pensions” No. 400-FZ dated December 28, 2013 provides for the right early retirement if you have the necessary “northern experience” .

At the same time, changes in pension legislation won't touch the following categories of citizens with “northern experience”:

Women who have given birth to 2 or more children and having a total experience of at least 20 years, of which 12 years in the CS areas or 17 in the ISS. According to clause 2, part 1, art. 32 of Law No. 400-FZ, they will still have the right to early payment upon reaching 50 years of age.
Citizens permanently residing in the CS and in equivalent areas, who have worked reindeer herders, commercial hunters, fishermen at least 20 and 25 years old (women and men, respectively). They will be able to become pensioners, just like now - upon reaching the ages of 45 and 50 years(Part 7, Clause 1, Article 32 of Law No. 400-FZ).

Retirement age for northerners from 2019 in Russia

Initial Raise Bill retirement age in Russia, proposed by the Government of the Russian Federation, provided annual increase in this standard by 1 year, and for a total of 5 years for men and 8 years for women. But the amendment that Vladimir Putin proposed in his appeal to citizens of the Russian Federation, these parameters have been adjusted:

The retirement age for women will increase for 5 years, like men;
a special benefit will be provided for those who, according to the old law, were supposed to retire in the first 2 years of the reform (2019-2020) - payment processing six months ahead of schedule.

Thus, for future recipients of the “northern pension” who have accumulated the necessary length of service in the Far North and ISS regions, the retirement age will change as follows:

Similar to citizens receiving an old-age pension on a general basis, northerners will have an increase in the time frame for obtaining an old-age pension for 5 years for women and men- up to 55 and 60 years, respectively.
In 2019, the “period of working capacity” will be extended not by 1 year, but for 6 months.
In 2020 it is planned to increase for 1.5 years instead of 2 years.
Gradual changes will be carried out until 2023 inclusive, when the final parameters of the new law are established.

Thus, the transition period will last from 2019 to 2023, and citizens who have worked the required number of years in the conditions of the CS and ISS will begin to process payments when they reach the final retirement age 55/60 years starting from 2028

Retirement schedule by year from 2019 for northerners, according to the adopted law, can be presented in the form of a table:

SVP according to the old law (PV - 50/55 years)	According to the new pension reform
SVP according to the old law (PV - 50/55 years)	New PV	New SVP

Note: PV - retirement age for northerners; SVP - retirement date (in what year); p. - half a year of the corresponding year.

The table shown above contains final data and was drawn up in accordance with the adopted law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018 and the norm of this law providing for mitigation in the first 2 years of the reform

Retirement table from 2019 by year of birth for northerners

Since the increase in the retirement age will begin in 2019, the changes will affect all those employees of the CS and equivalent areas who according to the old law would receive the right to receive an old-age insurance pension after 12/31/2018

Thus, the new law on retirement age includes: women born in 1969 and men born in 1964. and younger who will turn 50 and 55 years old or less in 2019, respectively, and who are applying for a “northern” pension.

For women born in 1969 and men born in 1964 The age standard will be increased by only six months. They will be able to receive payments in the second half of 2019 or the first half of 2020 (depending on their date of birth).
For women born in 1970 and born in 1965 there will be an increase of 1.5 years relative to the old standards. They will begin receiving payments in the 2nd half of 2021 and the 1st half of 2022.
Further increases will be made 1 year per year until a total of 5 years is reached - i.e. The upper limit of the “working period” for northerners will be set at 55 and 60 years (the first at this age in 2028 will be women born in 1973 and men born in 1968.).

The corresponding table of output by year of birth for northerners is presented below. In comparison with the original version of the bill, this table has been adjusted taking into account presidential amendments, which were adopted by the State Duma in the third (final) reading on September 27, 2018.

For women	For men	SVP under the new reform
		SVP under the new reform

Note: DO - date of birth; PV - retirement age; SVP - retirement date; p. - half a year.

Women born in 1973 and younger, as well as men born in 1968. Those who have accumulated the necessary “northern” experience and apply for early retirement will be able to receive payments when they reach 55 and 60 years of age.

Northern retirement experience for men and women

Northern length of service when assigning an old-age insurance pension is considered to be periods of work in the Far North (FN) And areas equated to the CS (ISS), during which insurance premiums were paid to the Pension Fund. The list of relevant areas on the territory of Russia is determined by Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 12 of November 10, 1967.

The presence of northern work experience, depending on the number of years worked, allows you to register early age insurance pension(5 years earlier - according to the new law, upon reaching the age of 55/60 years instead of 60/65 years on a general basis) or significantly reduce the retirement age by fewer years.

The requirements for northern experience do not change during the reform. In order to retire early (taking into account the transitional provisions of the law by year), in accordance with Part 6, Clause 1, Art. 32 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 must have:

15 years of RKS work experience or 20 years in the ISS;
total insurance experience of at least 20 years for women and 25 for men;
the minimum required number of pension points (increases annually by 2.4 points, and in 2025 it will finally be fixed at 30 IPC).

If a citizen has not worked the required number of years for early payment of 5 years, he may qualify for a reduction in retirement age for a shorter period if he has experience of at least 7.5 years in RKS or 10 years in ISS(since 1 year of work in areas equivalent to KS is equivalent to 9 months of work in KS areas).

For each 1 full calendar year of work in the RKS, the age standard decreases by 4 months(see table below).
Experience in the ISS areas is taken into account by equating 1 year of such work to 9 months in RKS areas(i.e., such length of service can simply be reduced by 25% to transfer years from the ISS to the RKS).

Then the reduction in retirement age depending on the accumulated northern experience can be presented in the following table:

Experience in KS districts (years)	How much will the PV decrease?		PV under the new law, taking into account the reduction for northern experience
	How much will the PV decrease?		women		men
		months		months		months








15 or more

Note: PV - retirement age; experience in the RKS = 0.75 × experience in the ISS. This table is compiled taking into account the final parameters a bill to increase the life expectancy - 60 years for women and 65 for men. During the transitional period of the new law (2019-2022), these values will be lower in accordance with generally established

In the new pension legislation, according to which a gradual increase in the retirement age began in Russia, a new pension benefit was provided for Russians - the possibility of early retirement (2 years earlier than the generally established deadlines). They can also take advantage of this right.

Such preferential length of service(37 and 42 years) differs from the calculation of the usual insurance period. It does not include “non-insurance” periods - parental leave up to 1.5 years, military service, etc. However, on June 6, 2019, State Duma deputies prepared a document proposing to include conscription service in this length of service.

The introduction of a new benefit does not mean that the new law increases the requirements for calculating a pension. On the contrary, such a benefit was proposed by the Government and the President of Russia as a measure to mitigate the consequences of the pension reform carried out in 2019.

If a citizen works for the specified number of years, he can retire 2 years earlier than the retirement age established for him, but not earlier than reaching 55 years for women and 60 years for men. Due to the fact that the retirement age is , in 2020, if you have a long period of service, it will be possible to become an early retiree only six months ahead of schedule (see early retirement).

Experience giving the right to early retirement

Since 2019, an additional preferential basis for the possibility of becoming a pensioner early was introduced - having at least 37 years of experience for women and at least 42 for men. With the adoption of such changes, Russians now have the opportunity to process payments 2 years earlier than will be provided for by the new pension law(taking into account the increase from 60 to 65 years for men).

It should be noted that initially the Government proposed to set the annual standard for early retirement at the level 40 and 45 years(women and men respectively). It is with these parameters that the government bill will be submitted to the State Duma on June 16, 2018.
However, the President relaxed the length of service requirements by 3 years - to 37 and 42 years.

It is also necessary to clarify that this standard (37 years for women and 42 years for men) for receiving a pension in the general case - it only allows for early payments “on preferential terms.” And for registration of an insurance pension in the general procedure for such a long work activity not required. For example, in 2020, to obtain the right to become an age pensioner, you will need to accumulate only 11 years of experience.

What is included in 37 and 42 years of service for early retirement?

Since 2015, the concept of insurance experience has been used to determine a citizen’s right to registration. But the procedure for calculating it when determining the right to early retirement will differ from the standard rules - for early retirement Not all insurance experience will be taken into account. This restriction was introduced by paragraph 4 of Art. 8 of the new law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, on the basis of which it does not include periods that are generally included in the insurance period (for example, child care up to 1.5 years, military service).

The preferential length of service for early retirement includes only periods of work and (or) other activities in accordance with clause 1 of Art. 11 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, during which the citizen was officially employed and paid for him, as well as periods of sick leave.

However, State Duma deputies have prepared proposals for them to include military service in the length of service for early retirement. A decision on it has not yet been made.

Please note that the rules for calculating the total insurance period do not change in any way with the introduction of the new law. Restrictions will apply only when calculating length of service for early retirement, for which you need to have 37 and 42 years of work experience.

For reference

According to Art. 12 of the same law No. 400-FZ “About insurance pensions”, now the following non-working periods are included in the total insurance period, during which the citizen:

(but in total no more than 6 years);
received temporary disability benefits (payments for compulsory social insurance);
received unemployment benefits, participated in paid public works;
moved or moved to another area for employment in the direction of the employment service;
cared for a disabled person of group I, a disabled child or a person over 80 years old, and other periods.

All listed periods are counted only if before or after them there were periods of official work, during which the employer paid insurance premiums for the employee.

A bill to include military service as 42 years of service for men

On June 6, 2019, deputies from the LDPR faction introduced bill No. 725662-7 into the State Duma, which proposes to include military service in the insurance period, which gives the right to early retirement. The development of such a document was announced the day before by the head of the State Duma Committee on Social Policy, Yaroslav Nilov. If such a bill is approved, the new procedure for calculating preferential length of service will come into force on January 1, 2020.

The explanatory note to the project notes that exclusion from preferential length of service in the army puts citizens who have fulfilled their duty to defend the Fatherland in an unequal position and those who have not served in conscription, including those who have evaded it.

However, in the package of documents submitted to the State Duma along with the bill, there is a conclusion from the Government of the Russian Federation, which did not support such an initiative. The document notes the following:

the proposed changes are not consistent with the concept of early assignment of pensions for long service;
the adoption of such a law will put conscripts in a preferential position with other military personnel;
The project does not identify sources of financing for new expenses.

Retirement based on length of service in Russia (table)

As mentioned above, having a long work experience will allow you to retire early - by 2 years ahead of schedule. But you need to remember the limitation - the age in this case cannot be less than 55 years for women and 60 years for men (which corresponds to the old retirement age that was in force until 2019).

Below is a schedule (table) of early retirement by length of service by year of birth:

Women			Men			When will they retire early?
GR	General PV	Preferential PV	GR	General PV	Preferential PV	When will they retire early?
1964	55,5	55	1959	60,5	60	2019
1965	56,5	55	1960	61,5	60	2020
1966	58	56	1961	63	61	2022
1967	59	57	1962	64	62	2024
1968	60	58	1963	65	63	2026, etc.

Note: PV - retirement age, GR - year of birth.

Thus, if you have a long period of work according to the old retirement age standards (at 55/60 years old) will be released:

women born in 1964 and men born in 1959. — in fact, a reduction of only six months relative to the new age standard;
women born in 1965 and men born in 1960 — reduction by one and a half years (instead of 2 full years).

For women born in 1968 and men born in 1963 and younger, who have a long work history, the final values of the preferential retirement age will be established - 58 years old and 63 years old, which is 2 years less than the new generally established standards.

Question answer

Will the mandatory length of service be 37 years for women and 42 years for men?

No, the statutory standards of 37 years for women and 42 for men are not mandatory for the assignment of payments, but are established only for the purpose of providing early pensions. If a citizen does not work that many years, he will simply become a pensioner on a general basis - without the benefit of early registration. And the so-called “mandatory work experience for retirement” under the new pension reform does not change.

In general, according to current legislation, in order to receive an insurance pension, it is enough to fulfill three mandatory conditions:

Achievement of the established - will gradually change, starting from 01/01/2019, until it is established at 60/65 years for women/men, respectively.
Availability of mandatory (minimum) - these values are gradually adjusted from 01/01/2015 with an annual increase of 1 year.
Availability of the minimum required quantity - this value is also adjusted annually with an annual increment of 2.4 points.

For example, to become a pensioner in 2020, you will need to have 11 years of insurance experience and 18.6 pension points. If in 2020 a citizen lacks these indicators, you need to keep in mind that in next year the requirements will be even higher - already 12 years and 21 points.

The schedule for increasing the minimum (mandatory) requirements for obtaining an old-age pension in Russia by year is given in the table below:

The final values after the end of the transition period are noted in the table in bold.

Content

In order for the state to start paying you a pension, it is not enough to reach a certain age. In addition, Russian pension legislation is not ideal and is constantly undergoing changes. For this reason, ordinary citizens are interested in what the length of service for retirement should be, taking into account recent changes, as well as the difference between work and insurance experience.

What is work experience for retirement?

Length of service is usually understood as the total duration of labor, social, entrepreneurial and other types of activity in accordance with the law. Based on these data, vacation pay, salary bonuses, pensions and other payments are calculated. It is customary to distinguish three types of work experience:

insurance. For accounting purposes, the time during which insurance contributions were paid to the Pension Fund is taken into account. Contributions are paid by the employer from each transfer Money in favor of the employee throughout his entire career.
continuous. The concept includes employment in one organization. Save continuous experience possible by working in different organizations, but the break between changing places of employment should not exceed one month.
special. Time worked is recorded within the framework of a specific work activity.

General insurance

The insurance period is the time when a citizen made contributions to the Pension Fund, and he could work both in Russia and abroad, if this does not contradict the law and international treaties. In addition, the total length of service, taking into account recent changes, includes time in the army, temporary disability and the period of child care for up to one and a half years. If you received unemployment benefits, you can also count on this time being included in your insurance period.

Special pension experience

If they have work experience, some people have the right to early retirement or to accrue pension payments. The concept of special experience means the performance of a certain activity for a certain time in a certain area and in a certain profession. This type includes, for example, employment in the Far North, pedagogical activity, underground work and other difficult working conditions.

Continuous

In view of recent changes, work experience for retirement is considered continuous when a person worked in one place all the time. If he moved from one place to another, the total length of service can also be considered continuous, but subject to certain requirements. Firstly, the break between job changes should not be more than a month, and in case of voluntary dismissal - no more than three weeks.

There is only one “but” here: if you quit voluntarily, you must work in the next place for at least 12 months. The early reason for dismissal must be valid - layoff, end of contract, etc., but not dismissal under the article or severance of the employment relationship at one's own request. In this case, the work experience will be considered interrupted.

What length of service is taken into account when calculating the labor pension?

Before 2002, pension payments were based on how many years a person worked. For women, this figure was 20 years, and for men – 25. For each additional year, an additional payment was added. In connection with the reforms carried out and taking into account recent changes in legislation, length of service for calculating pensions no longer plays a major role, since insurance is taken for calculation. Today, the amount of pension payments depends on the transfers that were made to the Pension Fund and the timing of their payment.

What is included in the insurance period

In addition to contributions to the Pension Fund, there are a number of “non-insurance periods” when time will be counted towards length of service, but only if before and after this the person was officially employed. These include:

maternity leave for children 1, 2, 3 and 4 until they are one and a half years old, but in total no more than six years;
work in the border service, internal affairs and federal penitentiary services;
military service or equivalent;
illness, resulting in temporary incapacity;
participation in public and social work;
later proven unjustified imprisonment and stay in prison;
receiving unemployment benefits;
care for relatives over 80 years old, children, disabled people;
spouse of a person serving in the military or public service outside the Russian Federation or at the place of service, but who does not have the opportunity to find a job.

Experience under special working conditions

Taking into account the latest changes, in order to receive a special pension, a man must work in special working conditions for at least 10 years, and a woman 7 years. However, this will not be enough if the total length of service is less than 20 years for the stronger sex and 15 for the weaker sex. Special working conditions include:

employment in hazardous conditions;
employment in difficult conditions;
work in special professions;
work for Far North or in areas equivalent to it.

Conditions for retirement

Each person independently decides when he wants to retire, but for this he must meet certain requirements. Taking into account recent changes in legislation, the main indicators are:

reaching a certain age. If a person worked under normal conditions, the law sets a threshold of 60 years for men and 55 years for women. When working with special conditions, this figure decreases to 55 and 50 years.
total work experience. The minimum age for representatives of the stronger sex is 25 years, and for the weaker sex - 20.
Mandatory pension insurance. A person applying for a pension must be insured and pay contributions to the Pension Fund.

Early retirement regardless of age and insurance period

For all categories of citizens, the requirement to have a minimum insurance period is unconditional. On the other hand, there are certain persons who can claim early appointment pension payments regardless of the number of years and insurance experience. These include people who worked in mines and mines, emergency rescue workers, medical workers, persons who worked on fishing industry vessels, etc. The main criterion for retirement is the duration of labor output.

Social reasons for receiving a pension early

Taking into account the latest changes, some persons who have a certain insurance period may, on social grounds, qualify for early receipt of payments. These include:

mothers of many children;
visually impaired and those who became disabled as a result of military trauma;
persons who worked in the Far North.

In addition, unemployed people of pre-retirement age and citizens who are registered with the Employment Center can go on vacation earlier than the generally established age, but not earlier than 2 years before retirement age.

How many years must you work to receive a pension?

Many citizens are waiting for pension payments, so they are interested in what is the current minimum length of service for a pension in Russia, taking into account recent changes. Since legislation in the field pension reforms constantly undergoes changes, it is necessary to constantly monitor changes in order to ensure at least a small but stable income in old age.

To establish old-age insurance benefits

If you turn to the law “On Insurance Pensions”, you can make sure that men retire at 60 years old, and women at 55. You can also see there that the insurance period for retirement in old age depends on certain requirements. Besides, insurance pension for disability is appointed in the presence of any length of service, regardless of the time and reasons for the onset of disability. The same requirements apply to the calculation of payments due to the loss of a breadwinner.

To assign a state pension

Pension money is allocated from the federal budget:

for length of service: federal government civil servants, cosmonauts, military personnel and persons equivalent to them, flight test personnel;
for disability: victims of man-made or radiation disasters, cosmonauts, military personnel and persons equivalent to them, participants of the Second World War, flight test personnel;
in case of loss of a breadwinner: families of military personnel, flight test personnel and astronauts;
old age: victims of man-made or radiation disasters;
social pensions: for disabled children (including by birth), disabled people, persons not entitled to an insurance pension.

To receive pension payments from federal bodies, requirements are imposed only on total length of service:

for federal civil servants from 2019 it is 15.5 years (from 2019 – 16.5 years);

Minimum length of service for granting an old-age pension

Until recently, the minimum insurance period for an old-age pension was 5 years, but taking into account recent changes since 2015, the calculation has become as follows:

from 01/01/2015 the minimum was 6 years;
from 01/01/2016 increased to 7 years;
from 01/01/2017, 8 years are required;
from 01/01/2018 it will be 9 years.

In this way, until 2024, it is planned to gradually increase this indicator to 15 years. If the value at the time of retirement is less, the person will be assigned a social pension, to which there will be an additional payment of up to living wage the region where he lives.

The procedure for calculating length of service

In accordance with Federal law“On labor pensions in Russian Federation» each insured person must be assessed pension rights, and the number of years does not affect this indicator. The assessment of pension rights occurs in two stages, based on the worked period of work: before January 1, 2015 and after. In the first case, the calculation occurs using the calculation rules in force at that time and taking into account the preferential procedure. In the second, the procedure for calculating length of service is regulated by the provisions of Law No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”.

Increasing coefficients

When there are no special conditions, length of service is accrued on a calendar basis. However, taking into account recent changes, correction factors are used for some categories:

1.5. Used for citizens who were exposed to radiation during actions to eliminate the consequences of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant (with the exception of military personnel);
2.0. Employment in leper colonies or other institutions for combating dangerous epidemics is taken into account. Those undergoing military service are subject to this coefficient.
3.0. For combatants and those undergoing treatment and rehabilitation after war injuries.

What periods are not taken into account?

Every person must understand that there are certain time periods that are not taken into account in insurance experience. These include:

periods taken into account when assigning a pension in accordance with the laws of another state, however, foreigners can count on receiving an old-age pension if they permanently reside in Russia;
periods of service before the granting of a disability pension, or work activity, taken into account when determining the amount of pension payments for long service.

Pension in the absence of insurance experience

Taking into account the fact that the person did not work at all, he is assigned social pension for old age (if there are no other possible grounds for receiving another type state pension). This is a legally established minimum amount - a kind of guarantee from the state. However, the start of retirement age increases to 65 for men and 60 for women.

Representatives of the small peoples of Siberia and the North who are engaged in subsistence work also receive social pensions, but men from 55 years old, and women from 50 years old. In addition, in the complete absence of employment status for a disabled person or a deceased breadwinner, an appropriate social pension is assigned, the amount of which is indexed in accordance with the order of the Russian Government.
