There are categories of employees whose pension provision is assigned according to standards that are different from most workers. These include law enforcement officers, military personnel and employees of paramilitary formations.

Thus, pensions for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are assigned in the framework of the implementation of federal law 4468-1 of 12.02.1993. The document sets out the rules that allow you to receive payment before reaching the age limit for compulsory employment (for civilians).

Emergence of the right to pension among employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2019-2020

The principles for assigning pensions to law enforcement officers are somewhat different from civil law. First of all, this is connected with the definition of the right to benefits.

Such a person receives when one of the situations occurs (their coincidence):

• reaching the age of 45;
• the presence of health restrictions that impede the normal performance of duties;
• having at least 25 years of service, of which half (12.5) is related to service in law enforcement agencies or equivalent units.

Important: the main criterion for obtaining the right to state support for police officers is length of service. Its minimum indicator is 20 years. If there is a length of service of the established value, state security is provided without taking into account the age of the applicant.

Special experience includes periods of service in:

• the Federal Agency for Combating Drug Trafficking;
• State Fire Department;
• National Guard;
• Armed forces (including urgent).

Some periods are discounted. They are:

• participation in counter-terrorism activities;
• service in the zone of military conflicts;
• work in:
  • criminal investigation departments;
  • in the conditions of the Far North.

For information: the law enforcement officer himself chooses the time of registration of pension maintenance. In addition, a person is given the right to remain in the unit even after 45 years, if there is his will, and the state of health allows him to serve further.

When determining the right of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to state security, other legal norms are used. Pensions for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs are paid from the federal budget.

It is provided for the following reasons:

• for length of service, that is, if there is a certain length of service in law enforcement agencies;
• by disability.

For information: law enforcement officers are among the categories that receive the right to two pension payments at the same time in the legal field:

• on state security;
• insurance.

Increased pension payments to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Retired police officers receive all the same social guarantees from the state as ordinary workers. To their pension content are added supplements related to the marital status, age of the recipient and his status. The security forces, for example, are entitled to an increase in payments for each dependent:

• for one - 32% of the total accruals;
• for two - 64%;
• for three or more - 100%.

Hint: Dependents are:

1. children, brothers, sisters and grandchildren - up to 18 years old, full-time students up to 23 years old, or disabled children, disabled since childhood;
2. father, mother and spouse, if they have reached the age: men - 60 years old, women - 55 years old, or are disabled;
3. grandfather and grandmother - in the absence of persons who should support them.

The age and merits of the pensioner-silovik are taken into account:

• for participants in military operations, the content is increased by 32%;
• after reaching the age of 80 - by 64%
• for disabled people of the first group, the pension is doubled (by 100%) after the recipient celebrates the 80th anniversary.

Relying accruals are made on the basis of supporting documents at the request of the applicant. So, you should bring the following papers to the Office:

• a certificate stating that the security officer took part in the military operation;
• a document of medical and social expertise on the appointment of group 1 of disability;
• confirmation of the presence of dependents and their identity cards:
  • birth certificates;
  • passports.

Pension maintenance of the Ministry of Internal Affairs on disability

Such content is due to employees of paramilitary formations, regardless of age and length of service. The right is confirmed by the conclusion of a medical and social examination. After the survey, the state body recognizes the law enforcement officer as unfit to perform duties for health reasons and assigns one of three disability groups.

According to the general rules, disability must be recognized while working in the Ministry of Internal Affairs or within three months after the resignation. However, sometimes the terms for obtaining disability do not depend on the applicant. It happens that his health deteriorates much more slowly, and disability is recognized after the specified time. This circumstance is taken into account by the legislator.

In order for a retired employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs to be granted state support for disability later than the established three months, the ITU must make a conclusion on the causes of loss of health. The right is secured by disability caused by injuries during the performance of duty:

• wound;
• concussion;
• mutilation;
• disease.

For information: the amount of pension payments depends on the established group. They are determined individually. In addition, the employee has the right, if he has sufficient experience, to choose an insurance pension (if its size is higher).

Preferential pension provision for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Government Decree No. 941 dated September 22, 1993 sets out the conditions for pension benefits for employees of law enforcement agencies. They relate to the increase in length of service in certain periods of service. So, activities in the Far North are counted according to the rule: a year and a half. Preferences are also provided for some other conditions for the implementation of law enforcement activities (the main ones are listed above).

Thus, a police officer earns seniority much faster than civilians. For example, if a person serves in the criminal investigation department in the Far North, then a year of work is equal to three. Under such conditions, it is enough for an officer to receive state support:

• 20 l. / 3 years = 6 years 8 months

For understanding: a preferential pension is a benefit assigned on preferential grounds regarding the calculation of length of service.

In addition, the security forces are entitled to separate preferences for dismissal due to length of service, provided for in paragraphs of Law No. 247-FZ of 07/19/11. This is a one-time benefit:

• two salaries for persons who have not earned 20 years of special experience;
• seven salaries for retirees who have one.

Hint: one more salary is added if the applicant received:

• state award;
• honorary title.

A monthly allowance for one year is paid to employees dismissed without state support. The condition for its provision is the presence of a special experience exceeding twenty years.

Seniority pension payments

The amount of state security in the presence of a sufficient indicator for length of service is calculated taking into account:

• salary amounts:
  • for the occupation of the last position (selected in the previous five years);
  • for the title;
• special services and additional seniority in civilian life;
• allowances.

The calculation formula for 2019-2020 is as follows:

• Рpo \u003d 0.5 x (OD + OZ + NVL) x PC, where:
  • Ppo - the desired value;
  • OD - payments for the position;
  • OZ - for the title;
  • NVL - for long service;
  • PC - pension coefficient.

The amount in brackets in the formula has a different official name - monetary allowance (DD). This is an individual score. It is determined for each recipient separately on the basis of an accounting statement.

DD is taken into account when calculating additional preferences. The main ones are shown in the table:

For information: regional authorities also set allowances for the state maintenance of retired security officials.

All issues related to the state support of the dismissed security officials are handled by a special Department of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. However documents are submitted at the place of service. Registration of the pension content of law enforcement officers has certain nuances. They are:

1. The first step is to notify the boss about the desire to retire. This is done in the form of a report. The document is submitted three months before the expected date. At the same time, it indicates, in addition to the desire to leave the position:
   • causes;
   • preferential grounds;
   • date of dismissal.
2. After signing the initial report, the actual registration process begins.
3. An application form must be filled out.
4. In general, the following papers are attached to it:
   • a payslip containing a breakdown of the periods of law enforcement activity (made by the personnel department);
   • money certificate spine (issued by the accounting department);
   • consent to the processing of personal information;
   • confirmation of benefits, for example, an award certificate (if any);
   • are additionally served:
     • work book (with mixed length of service);
     • certificate of the presence of dependents;
     • certificate of disability;
     • otherwise.
5. The documentation is carefully studied and sent to the Office. This state body appoints the appropriate state security.

Applicants for state security need to prepare for a long wait. That's why there is a tradition of announcing the dismissal three months in advance. The specialists of the Department have to check every period indicated in the documents. Some are privileged, others are ordinary. For each, a separate calculation is made, then the data is brought together.

Hint: the resigning security officer is compensated for the elements of software that are not received for one reason or another. For example, for uniforms that a person did not have time to receive and use.

Innovations in the pension reform

The state took upon itself the obligation to bring the state provision of retired security officials to 100% DD. The implementation of this plan ran into budgetary difficulties. The calculation showed that the country does not have such funds. Therefore, it was found that the growth of the reduction factor will be progressive. To the prescribed 100% DD, the pensions of law enforcement officers should increase by 2035.

Attention: From 2017 to 10/1/2019, a reduction factor of 72.23% of DD is applied. From October 1, 2019, it is equal to 73.68%.

This figure is steadily increasing by 2% per year. Until 2017, it was 69.45%. A more rapid increase in the state content of retired security officials is not yet planned. However, the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin drew the Government's attention to the fact that benefits for servicemen and equivalent persons had not been indexed for several years.

For information: The increase in pensions in October 2019 was made as a result of an increase in the monetary allowance of military personnel by 4.3% and an additional indexation of pensions by another 2%, that is, a total increase in pension provision by 6.3%.

As for civil accruals (second benefit), it is constantly increasing for non-working citizens. So, indexing took place according to the plan on 01/01/2019.

Dear readers!

We describe typical ways to resolve legal issues, but each case is unique and requires individual legal assistance.

It’s worth starting with the fact that in our time, former military personnel who served in such structures as:

• the prosecutor's office;
• federal penitentiary services;
• federal drug control service;
• customs authorities.

How can a former security officer receive a retirement pension?

In this situation, the security forces have two options. Now we will consider them. So:

1. Mixed status. For example, a person may resign from a structure for health reasons, after 45 years of age, in connection with staff organizational measures, or upon reaching the age limit for being in the service. In addition, the total length of service of a police officer may not be less than 25 years, of which he served in the police department for at least 13 years. In this situation, we are already talking about a combination of civilian and military experience. It is worth noting that all the written conditions for this option of a military pension must be met on the day of dismissal from the police department.
2. 20 and more years should be devoted to service in the internal affairs bodies. In this situation, pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs in 2017 can go to a well-deserved rest at any age. As for individual periods, they go to seniority on a preferential basis. For example, 1 month of service in the regions of the cold Far North is considered as two.

Calculation of the police pension for years of service in 2017

Here the form is very simple, but not fair. The reduced coefficient at one time seriously outraged military pensioners. The seniority pension is equal to the salary according to the rank plus the salary according to the position, plus a bonus for the length of service. Everything is clear with the position and salary by rank. After all, each employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs has certain numbers of the required financial allowance. What is a percentage bonus? Such a concept explains the increase in pensions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the length of service, which is applied to the sum of two salaries.

For example, five years of service can add 10 percent to a police officer's salary. And if he has worked for 25 years or more, then 40 percent is added to the salary. At the beginning of 2017, the Ministry of Finance and Labor wants to deal not only with counting the money that remained in the treasury, but also with other equally important issues. So noted the head of the Ministry of Labor - Maxim Topilin. In particular, they will consider decisions that depend on the final indicators of inflation and on the budget, which will be adopted. If we talk now about the pensions of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, then in 2017 we can say the following:

• the size of the pension of an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will again be increased, based on the size of the salary and the amount of allowances for special ranks;
• the first increase is planned for February of this year;
• promotion will be equal to half of the annual indexation of pensions. This is about 7-8 percent of the amount of payments to employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs that were established;
• it turns out that the higher these values, the higher the total social payment itself.

Special allowances

The percentage of the supplement that is paid out of the amount of the estimated amount of pension transfers should depend on the status of the recipient, his marital status and age. So, persons who have received seniority payments may have additional allowances:

- pensioners who were participants in the Second World War receive an allowance of 32 percent. If they are 80 years old, then the amount will be 40 percent;

- pensioners who do not have a place of employment, as well as those who support disabled relatives, may have allowances:

• For one dependent - 32%
• For two - 64%
• For three or more - 100%

- persons who have the status of a pensioner and a disability of group 1, who have reached the age of 80, can have surcharges of 100 percent.

The reforms of the pension system carried out in 2008-2017 affected not only civilian benefits, but also payments intended for military personnel. The formula for calculating military pensions has changed, a new version of the formation of pension payments has appeared, and the process for their registration has been clarified. An analysis of the current legislation will help to understand the details of the transformations and understand what kind of allowance in 2017 is assigned to those who leave the service.

Legal framework

The process of granting and calculating military payments is influenced by laws affecting the basic principles of pension reform, determining the criteria for granting benefits and the amount of monetary allowance. The main documents that affect the process of calculating pension accruals for military personnel:

• FZ 4468-1 on military pensions (12.02.93);
• PP 941 on accounting for length of service, allowances and pensions for military personnel (22.09.93);
• FZ 306 on monetary allowance (07.11.11);
• PP 1237 on coefficients and allowances (30.12.11);
• FZ 166 on providing the population with pensions (17.12.01);
• FZ 400 on insurance (December 28, 2013) and 173 labor pensions (December 17, 01).

In addition, there are legislative acts that establish additional preferences for certain categories of military personnel.

Who is eligible to receive benefits

Unlike the civilian population, the military can become a pensioner regardless of age. Other criteria give the right to grant benefits. Military payment can be made for three reasons:

1. Length of service at the time of dismissal - length of service.
2. Disability resulting from a war injury.
3. The death of a serviceman during the service (on this basis, the allowance is assigned to the next of kin).

Payments are provided to employees of the military and law enforcement agencies, as well as to persons holding certain public civil positions. Categories eligible for retirement benefits include employees:

• military and power structures of the Russian Federation, the USSR, the CIS;
• state protection, security or defense;
• fire service;
• railway and border services;
• bodies of the criminal - correctional system;
• departments for combating crimes;
• flight test teams and space forces;
• other government departments classified as military.

This right is granted to participants of the Great Patriotic War, blockade survivors and those who were involved in the elimination of radiation and man-made accidents. Since 2017, after the formation of the organization, the right to a military pension has been granted to employees of the National Guard.

The allowance, if a soldier is declared dead, can receive it:

• widow;
• minor children;
• children of full age if they study full-time and have not reached the age of 2;
• parents;
• persons recognized as disabled and listed as dependents of the deceased.

The type of military payment is determined by the basis on which the right to it arose.

Conditions of appointment and types of military payments

According to Federal Law 4468-1, the grounds for awarding a military pension are years of service or health status. Types of military payments to retired soldiers:

1. Basic and mixed service pension.
2. Disability allowance.
3. Survivor's benefit.
4. The second civil pension for military personnel.

The latter type was introduced by Federal Law 156, in the form of amendments to Law 166, in July 2008, providing the former military with the opportunity to receive an additional payment based on the amount of individual insurance capital. Depending on the type, the conditions for awarding a military pension vary.

By seniority

The conditions for the provision of the basic seniority payment, prescribed in Federal Law No. 4468-1, apply to employees who, at the time of dismissal, have sufficient service in the military field. The term is approved by law and is equal to 20 years.

A mixed pension is a type of seniority allowance that takes into account not only the military, but also the civil experience of the candidate for payment. Wherein the number of categories that can apply for it has been expanded due to other conditions of appointment. Members of the military can receive benefits:

• retiring when they reach the age of 45;
• having, by the time of dismissal, a length of service, both military and civilian, equal to 25 years (at least 12.5 of them must be in military service);
• those who left the service for one of the three reasons listed in the legislation (by age, medical indications, due to regular or organizational measures in the department).

To count on a military pension payment for mixed service, all three conditions must be met simultaneously.

By disability

A condition for receiving benefits is the presence of a disability, if it is determined as a result of military injuries or diseases. The latter must be fixed:

• during military service;
• during the 3 months following the retirement;
• at any time if it is proven that the disability was the result of a war injury.

When assigning a military material disability benefit, the period of service is not taken into account. Benefits may be awarded in addition to pension benefits if there are special circumstances of injury.

On the loss of a breadwinner

For the appointment of benefits, the presence of a disease or injury that caused the death of a fighter is mandatory. The social pension is determined by the relatives of the servicemen, if the death of the latter occurred during:

• the passage of hostilities;
• service;
• three months following the withdrawal.

Other terms are also allowed if it is proved that the death was the result of a military injury. The payment is due to a military family, regardless of rank and length of service.

insurance pension

The second payment to military personnel is due when, after dismissal, they continue their labor activity in civilian specialties. It is called insurance, as it is based on contributions to the Pension Fund, which are deducted for the former military employer in the FIU. Terms of receipt at the time of application:

• reaching the age at which the country is entitled to an old-age allowance;
• the presence of a military pension received from his department;
• the presence of a minimum approved length of service, which was not taken into account when assigning a military payment;
• the presence of a minimum number of insurance points approved for the year of application.

Legislatively, the civil retirement age is set at 60 for men, and 55 for women. From 01.01.17, civil servants can complete their service upon reaching 60.5 and 55.5 years, respectively. Starting from 2018, the retirement age for this category of citizens will increase until it reaches the established limit of 65 and 63 by 2032.

• Chernobyl victims;
• employees in hazardous radiation areas;
• the military who work in the regions of the Far North, equated to them and in special territories;
• employees in hot spots and hazardous facilities (for example, underground);
• persons who have received a disability as a result of service.

The term for reducing the retirement age can vary up to 10 years.

The amount of the military pension

The amount of military payment directly depends on the monetary allowance. The calculation takes into account:

The reduction factor was introduced in 2012 and amounted to 54%. It was planned to increase it by 2% annually to reach 100% by 2035. The district coefficient depends on the place of service and is listed in PP No. 1237 (12/30/11). For example, according to PP No. 941, when a unit is located in remote areas in the Far North, the month of service is doubled. The amount of the insurance pension depends on the length of service taken into account, the civil salary and the number of pension points.

Principles for calculating military pensions

Based on the indicators, the pension of a serviceman is calculated.

General formula for calculating military pension

Calculation for the service pension

The basic component consists of the sum of salaries according to the position, rank and bonuses for the length of service. Salaries are fixed. With a full twenty years of service, it is necessary to add to them another 50% of the amount of salaries - official and by rank. In addition, a 3% surcharge is provided for each year worked over 20 years. Its maximum rate is 85%. To determine the amount of payment, it is necessary to multiply the base by the reduction and regional coefficient. The reduction factor for 2017 is set at 72.23%.

Thus, calculation formula \u003d (Position salary + salary by rank + (Sum of salaries x 50 (+ 3% x N)%) x 72.23 x district coefficient

Where N - the number of years worked in excess of the base length of service.

Calculation for a mixed service pension

The principle of calculating benefits for mixed length of service is similar to the previous one, with the exception of bonuses for length of service. Since it is permissible to calculate a military pension only if there are 25 years of civil and military work experience, this period is the full length of service for a mixed pension. A 50% surcharge + a percentage for each year above this indicator is given for it.

The base component will \u003d (Position salary + salary by rank + (Sum of salaries x 50 (+1% x N)%)

Where N - the number of years that have been worked out in excess of the base length of service.

When multiplied by the same coefficients, the full amount of the benefit will be obtained.

Calculation for disability pension

The base component in determining the disability pension is calculated on the basis of salaries. The difference in the amount of benefits for long service and for medical reasons depends on special allowances for harm to the health of a soldier. So, a military injury, due to which a disability was obtained:

• 1 and 2 groups, gives the right to 85% of the monetary allowance;
• 3 groups - by 50%.

When the illness was the cause of the disability:

• for 1 group, 75% of the monetary allowance is due;
• for 2 and 3 - 40%.

Determination of the amount of payment depends on the minimum established pension equal in amount to the civil one. In case of injuries, the level of military pension in relation to civil one cannot be lower:

• 300% for 1 disability group;
• 250% for 2;
• 175% for 3.

In case of illness, the level should not fall below:

• 250% for 1 group;
• 200% for 2;
• 150% for 3.

For conscript soldiers, this is the only principle for calculating disability pensions.

Calculation for survivor's pension

Before the military pension for the loss of a breadwinner is calculated, the amount of the monetary allowance of the deceased is clarified. The charge is made as a percentage of DD. For those who do not have seniority, the amount of the allowance is determined on the basis of the estimated payment or the minimum pension. In the presence of monetary allowance, the family of the deceased:

• from a military injury will receive 50% DD;
• from the disease - 40%.

Based on the estimated payout, the amounts will be 200% and 150% respectively. The payment for the dependents of the deceased is provided only if they receive no other benefits.

Calculation for the second pension

The FIU is responsible for calculating the additional civil pension. The minimum length of service required to receive additional benefits for 2017 is 8 years. This takes into account the years of service that did not fall into the seniority of military service and the years of official work in a civilian position. The seniority indicator will increase annually until it reaches 15 years by 2024. The number of required IPC insurance points (individual pension coefficients) is also growing. Today the figure is 11.4. The final size should be 30, with an annual increase of 2.4.

The formula for calculating the insurance pension is simple - the number of IPC points is multiplied by its approved value. A retired military man can find out the current number of points in the FIU, and the price of the IPC in 2017 is fixed at 78.58.

It is important to know that when calculating the second insurance pension, a fixed amount is not paid to military personnel. The calculation depends entirely on the pension capital, which by the time the required age has been accumulated in an individual account with the PFR.

Surcharges and indexation

• upon reaching the age of 80, an additional amount equal to 100% of the minimum pension will be given to the military payment;
• 50% is due for the title of Hero of the Russian Federation or the USSR;
• 50% for the title of Hero of Socialist Labor and Labor of Russia;
• 50% of the additional payment is also received by those who are awarded the Order of Glory of three degrees.

If dependent on a retired military:

• one person - he is supposed to add 32% of the minimum pension;
• for two - 64%;
• for three or more - 100%.

In addition to additional payments, the amount of the calculated allowance is indexed annually. The increase depends on the rate of inflation. The next one is scheduled for January 2018. At the same time, the allowance will be increased. An increase in its value will also affect the level of military pensions.

How to apply for a military pension

To receive a retirement pension, you must submit a rapport to the department at the place of service. At the same time, it does not matter if it is accrued according to military or mixed length of service. Required documents:

• passport and SNILS;
• photo 3x4;
• military ID and work book;
• personal file and prescription;
• certificate (money or clothing, which is issued in military accounting);
• a certificate from the FIU stating that a pension is not accrued to a serviceman;
• certificates and certificates that confirm the rights to benefits (if they are required by law).

If all documents are available, the established application form is filled out. The department has 10 days to make a decision and assign benefits. The first transfers to a retired military man will begin after 3 months.

Payments for the loss of a breadwinner are processed in the military commissariats only if the recipients are not assigned a civil pension. If they already receive social benefits, then they need to apply for a military payment to the FIU. There you should also declare your rights to soldiers - conscripts for the appointment of disability benefits. Contractors draw up this type of payment at the place of service. An insurance civil pension by any military is calculated and provided to the FIU.

The issue of pension reform worries every conscious Russian. The government has long intended to change the retirement age and the procedure for calculating payments. Changes are introduced gradually and next year we will definitely expect changes. What will be the pension reform in 2017 and what will change for us, ordinary citizens. Latest news in pension reform.

Reform in the calculation of pensions

According to the Ministry of Labor, major changes in 2017 in the order of accrual and payment of pensions should not be expected. All the rumors that the Internet is full of lately are completely unfounded. Russia's 2017 pension reform continues to follow the draft laws that were signed back in 2015.

The issue of changing the accrual of funded pensions is being actively discussed on the network today, but M. Toplin officially stated that, despite the fact that changes are expected to be introduced in the future, this issue has not yet been discussed with other departments, which means that no changes will be made in the near future. time is not expected.

Today, a draft law is being prepared to change the procedure for accumulating pension contributions. According to it, citizens should be given the right to independently accumulate funds in the PF. At the same time, the savings of citizens will be insured.

Also, these funds can be inherited in the event of the death of the drive.

However, this bill is still under preparation, which means that at the beginning of 2017 it will not come into force yet.

This change is scheduled to be implemented by early 2018. What are the benefits of this innovation? A. Siluanov, head of the Ministry of Finance, said that the expansion of opportunities for accumulating pension contributions will give citizens additional motivation to ensure a comfortable old age for themselves and will significantly reduce the burden on the state budget in the future.

However, the draft law states that participation in the accumulation of their own pension savings will be voluntary, those citizens who do not take care of their old age themselves will also receive social benefits.

What changes await us in 2017

Most likely, the pension reform in 2017 will affect the retirement age and the payment calculation ratio. This news appears in the press is not the first year. For several years now, the government has been discussing the issue of raising the working age to 65 years. However, the increase will not be made immediately. The age will increase gradually by one year over several years. Today, the President has not yet signed this bill, so people who are due to retire in 2017 need not worry.

These changes are planned to be introduced in order to save the state budget, because in the current economic situation this issue is especially relevant for our country.

Also, the government is discussing the issue of changing the coefficient of accrual of pension payments. News reports that now, when calculating a pension, the total length of service of a pensioner will be taken into account, which, according to officials, is fair. Now, in order to receive an average pension, which will be approximately 14,000 rubles. Must have at least 8 years of work experience. If a person has not completed these prescribed years, he will be charged the minimum social payment from the state fund.

News about pension reform in the power structures of Russia

The latest Russian news says that in 2017 there will be changes in the calculation of pensions for the security forces. In general, law enforcement agencies will undergo more than one reform next year, it is planned to reduce the staff of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, increase the retirement age and revise the coefficient for accruing payments from the state pension fund.

Today, representatives of the FIU have already announced what changes will come into force from January 2017 when calculating pensions for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs:

• The guaranteed pension for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be increased in line with the increase in salary and current allowances.
• The pensioners of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will be able to receive the first increased payment in February 2017.
• Pensions for employees of law enforcement agencies will be increased by an average of 8%.

Employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs already know for sure about raising the retirement age. The draft law on raising the retirement age of persons serving in the power ministries of Russia has already been approved.

Now the retirement age of employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will increase annually by 6 months.

In 2017, this change will definitely affect only civil servants, but the government has already calculated that this measure will significantly reduce the costs of the pension fund, and hence the country's budget as a whole.

Also, the draft law states that the length of service is increased to 25 years. These measures will reduce the burden on the state fund, which means they will help stabilize the country's economy.

After a long break, the budget for 2019 and the planning period 2020-2021 will provide for the indexation of military pensions, as well as the salaries of military personnel. The Ministry of Finance and the Ministry of Defense have already decided on the size of the increase. In addition, in 2019, the procedure for calculating pensions for employees of internal affairs bodies, the fire service, drug control authorities and penitentiary institutions will change.

What happened?

The Government of the Russian Federation submitted to the State Duma a bill to extend the moratorium on increasing the reduction factor for employee pensions:

• internal affairs bodies,
• fire service,
• drug control authorities
• institutions of the penitentiary system.

It is noteworthy that military personnel and their pensions, to which the same reduction factor is applied, are not indicated in the bill of the Government of the Russian Federation. At the same time, pensions for these categories of civil servants, as well as for military pensioners, will increase in 2019 due to an increase in the pay of active employees and military personnel. Officials said that it would be indexation.

Military pensions will be indexed from October 1, 2019

Deputy Minister of Defense Tatyana Shevtsova, that the indexation of monetary allowance, and with it military pensions, has not been carried out since 2014. Prior to this, since January 1, 2012, the monetary allowance of active servicemen and military pensions increased by 2.5-3 times in connection with the reform of the system of payments to the military. For the first time since 2014, the indexation of monetary allowance and pensions took place from January 1, 2018. Payments to military personnel increased by 4%. The government no longer plans to freeze indexation. Therefore, according to the Deputy Minister, in the next three years, the indexation of military pensions and allowances will be carried out annually on October 1. Its planned size is:

• in 2019 - 4.3%,
• in 2020 - 3.8%;
• in 2021 — by 4%.

These values ​​correspond to the planned level of inflation. At the same time, experts note that during the time when the pension for military personnel was not indexed, the price level increased by about 46%. And no one plans to reimburse this difference to military pensioners. The good thing is that in the next 3 years, military pensions will grow, along with monetary allowances, at least by the planned inflation rate.

The reduction factor will be left "frozen"

In accordance with the current legislation of the Russian Federation, for all employees of the internal affairs bodies, fire service, drug control authorities and institutions, as well as military personnel, when calculating pensions from January 1, 2012, monetary allowance (official salaries, salaries by rank, allowances) is taken into account only in the amount of 54% . This is the so-called reduction factor, which, starting from January 1, 2013, had to increase annually by at least 2% until it reaches 100%. At the same time, the annual increase may exceed 2%, taking into account the actual level of inflation. In 2017, the increase in the reduction coefficient was “frozen”, and from January 1, 2017, when calculating the pension for military personnel and employees of other law enforcement agencies, 72.23% of the monetary allowance of an employee in the corresponding position and rank is taken into account.

The government submitted a draft law to the State Duma, which has already received the approval of the relevant committee for adoption in the first reading at the plenary session on October 23, establishing the prolongation of the moratorium on increasing the reduction factor.

However, the draft federal budget for 2019-2021 provides for an index share of the monetary allowance of military personnel, private and commanding staff of internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, drug control authorities, and citizens serving in penitentiary institutions and the National Guard troops. Therefore, despite the freezing of the reduction coefficient, payments to these categories of civil servants will increase by 4.3% from October 1, 2019, and military pensions will increase along with them.
