Draft law on raising the retirement age for military personnel. The law on the provision of pensions for military personnel: the procedure and amount of the pension. Legislative regulation of this issue

From the beginning of next year 2018, a new law will be in force throughout the Russian Federation to increase the length of service for military personnel for up to 25 years. The Ministry of Defense decided to raise the length of service by 5 years compared to this year.

To the law "On pensions for persons who have served in the military, served in the internal affairs bodies, the State Fire Service, bodies for controlling the circulation of narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances, institutions and bodies of the penitentiary system, the troops of the National Guard of the Russian Federation, and their families » will also make amendments regarding the correlation of receiving finances from the service of the state. The government considered that in this way it is possible to save on the payment of pensions. It is expected that the law will become effective as early as January 1, 2018, but the final decision can be expected only after the presidential elections in the Russian Federation. The only military who will not serve for 25 years are those who managed to conclude a contract for 20 years of service. Their amendments have been bypassed so far.

The length of service of military personnel for a pension of 25 years entered into force: features of the draft law on increasing the length of service

It is impossible to call this bill new, since it was already proposed in 2013. The most unexpected addition to the reform was a proposal in 2015 to increase the lower limit of service from 20 to 30 years, but the idea was rejected. And this year, by decree of Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, a draft was prepared with a large number of amendments.

Now let's talk about the difference between projects. At the present time, for a length of service of 20 years, a military man is paid a pension in the amount of 50% of the financial allowance, it is provided for in Article 43 of the Law “On Pensions for Persons ...”. Every year, if the military has twenty years of experience, an allowance of 3% of financial allowance is provided, however, not more than 85%.

The updated project fixes a pension of 65% of the financial allowance for a length of service of 25 years, and annually military personnel will receive an allowance of 3%, but not exceeding 95% of the financial allowance.

Length of service for military personnel for a pension of 25 years entered into force: no indexation of monetary allowance

The federal law "On the monetary allowance of military personnel and the provision of certain payments to them" has not been implemented for 5 years. The provisions of the law assumed that salaries for the ranks of military personnel and salaries for positions should be indexed annually (tied to the consumer price index) taking into account inflation from the beginning of 2013. But the indexation of military pensions was due to an increase in the reduction factor. According to the law, it was 54% in 2012, and 72.23% in 2017. Over the previous 5 years, the pension has increased by 30%, and over 7 years - by 90%.

The length of service for military personnel for a pension of 25 years entered into force: bringing the bill into force throughout the territory of the Russian Federation

At the moment, it is not known whether the bill to increase the military experience to 25 years will be introduced at the beginning of 2018 or at the end of 2019. It is also assumed that there will be a 5-year preparatory period, and only by the beginning of 2023 will it become fully operational. In any case, there will be even a short transitional period so that the military personnel who retired during this period of time will not be deprived. Until January 1, 2019, they plan to pay an allowance (a quarter of the previously estimated pension) to military personnel who have served for more than twenty years, but who were unable to retire due to the adoption of a new bill. But starting from January 1 of the same year, the payments of allowances will stop, because they are counting on the full operation of the law.

Pension reform over the past couple of years has made quite a splash. The opinions of citizens differed: some are sure that the pension reform will only worsen the situation of Russian pensioners, while others believe that it is a fairer system and encourages citizens to take care of their old age in advance. However, some workers were more affected by the pension reform. We are talking about civil servants and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia.

In today's article, we will try to tell as much as possible about all the news regarding this reform. It should be immediately clarified that the bill has not yet been adopted and approved - the issue of its adoption and enactment is still being considered.

So, in this article we will discuss the pros, cons and consequences of increasing the length of service for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia. You will learn:

how the bill was drafted;
what benefit it will bring to Russian society;
what are the pros and cons of the draft law on increasing the length of service;
how much it is planned to increase the length of service for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia;
How will this affect the size of the military pension.

What are the reasons for the development of a bill to increase the length of service for employees in the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia

Today, more than fifteen million Russians work in the Ministry of the Interior. The Ministry of Internal Affairs provides work, wages, and pensions for a huge proportion of our compatriots. However, in recent years this figure has been growing. Now there is a trend of active growth in the popularity of service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Many Russians are torn in this area. However, this is not surprising - the Ministry of Internal Affairs offers its employees excellent social benefits, financial assistance, benefits, early retirement and many other pleasant bonuses, not to mention the fact that service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs is prestigious.

Like any other organization, the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a certain financial balance. If we assume that the growth in the number of employees will continue, then we can predict what will happen to the budget of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. It's simple - it will be spent on salaries and pensions. That is why it is required to increase the "service life" of their employees. The official management of the Ministry of Internal Affairs says that many employees simply do not work off the money they are paid, doing paperwork that could be done automatically. In particular, Valentin Agarkov argues that the total automation of most of the "paper" processes can save the situation at the moment.

Thus, the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Russia decided that the payment of wages, as well as pensions to employees who have worked for twenty years, is not the most pleasant item of expenditure, and it should be reduced. And if everything is clear with salaries - simply accepting fewer people, reducing the existing staff, that is, reducing the number of staff by any means - then everything is somewhat more complicated with pensions. The most acceptable option was chosen to increase the length of service for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs by five years.

When will seniority increase be introduced?

At the moment, this bill has not yet been confirmed. Thus, there may not be an increase in seniority. However, discussions on this draft are currently underway, and therefore, most likely, it will be adopted in the very near future.

In the current version, the bill proposes to increase the length of service from 20 to 25 years by 2019. This is a rather serious increase - by a whole quarter. However, the government is not going to stop there. This trend is planned to continue. It is possible that by 2025 the length of service before retirement will be 30 years - such a bill has already been drawn up, but so far there is not much discussion by the authorities.

It is worth noting that even after the introduction of this bill into force, some preferential seniority calculations will continue to work. For example, in the regions of the Far North (that is, beyond the Arctic Circle), the accrual of experience will be doubled. For example, for twenty days of service in the Far North, an employee of the Ministry of Internal Affairs will receive forty days of experience.

What will be the consequences of the increase in seniority for employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs

Unfortunately, the consequences of the adoption of this bill are very deplorable. The Ministry of Finance has officially stated that if this bill is passed, the most important consequence will be an increase in unemployment. About ten percent of people currently employed in the Ministry of Internal Affairs will become unemployed. Moreover, they will be obliged to pay insurance for compulsory health insurance.

Many experts expressed their opinion, calling such actions of the government incompetent. However, at the moment there is no talk of canceling the enactment of this bill. In response, the officials who developed this bill argue that "the costs of the social sphere in our country are too high," and the state simply cannot afford such large expenses. This argument is supported by claims that it is not possible to increase GDP without reducing these costs. An additional argument in favor of the adoption of this bill was the notorious crisis that affected all sectors of our economy.

In the communities of active military personnel and military pensioners, information continues to be discussed, which many sources say, and which is the issue of raising the minimum length of service for acquiring the right to a military pension from 20 to 25 years

What is known about the bill at the moment and what does it mean for active military and military pensioners? Let's explain and bring together all the conflicting information.

Sources say that a decision in principle on raising the minimum threshold for qualifying for a seniority pension has already been made. This is very similar to the truth, because the document was developed in the Ministry of Defense and the heads of the Committees of the State Duma and the Federation Council know about them and even spoke about this.

For example, Frants Klintsevich, First Deputy Chairman of the Federation Council Committee on Defense and Security, believes that such a bill will increase the responsibility of those entering the service in law enforcement agencies. “Increasing the lower limit of seniority, which gives the right to receive a military pension, will weed out “runners” and “swallows” for five years,” he told Kommersant. “That is, before going to work in law enforcement agencies, they will think”

That is, such a bill exists and talk about it is not empty speculation.

It should be noted that the bill is very significant for active servicemen and military pensioners.

For active military personnel

Here is a fundamental question. For example, for those who are considering signing a new contract or not ... The thing is that a serviceman has a “twenty”, and if he concludes a contract and the bill is passed, will he lose his right to a pension, since the minimum length of service will be moved from 20 to 25 years old. This is what confuses the military when deciding to sign a new contract.

The latest version of the bill also provides for a transitional period of five years for military personnel. Persons covered by the law of February 12, 1993 shall retain the right to retire for service and receive a corresponding pension under the conditions "in force before the entry into force of this law until January 1, 2023"

That is, in theory, for those who have already acquired the right to a pension with 20 years of service, the law should not apply. But in Russia everything can be...

For military pensioners

In the new bill, the figures are changing: for 25 years of service, the military will be able to count on 65% of the amount provided for by the same Art. 43, and for each year in excess of this period - 3%, but not more than 95% of the allowance, that is, not 85% - the maximum, as it was, but 95%

There are no other significant changes in the document at our disposal that would concern military pensioners. But…

There is evidence that the monetary allowance for length of service, which directly affects the calculation of military pensions, may change. Now it is calculated as follows:

Amount (calculation procedure) of payment:

From 2 to 5 years - 10%;

From 5 to 10 years - 15%;

From 10 to 15 years - 20%;

From 15 to 20 years - 25%;

From 20 to 25 years - 30%;

25 years and more - 40%;

Regulations:

Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of July 18, 2000 No. 538;
Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of December 21, 2011 No. 1074.

Orders of the Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation:

Order of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation of December 30, 2011 No. 2700.

In the new version, supposedly, in this regard, there are changes in which the percentage bonus for length of service will return to the old versions and will reach 70%, that is, the gradation of time limits will expand for changing the numbers of the percentage bonus.

What can I say with 100% certainty:

The bill has not yet been submitted to the State Duma. There is evidence that it will be introduced after the 2018 elections.
There will be a law, since a fundamental decision has been made and key approvals have been passed.
The bill can be instantly adopted by the State Duma, we now have no doubts about its abilities ...
The bill brings very significant changes for military personnel and military pensioners.
25 years served in the army of Peter I, which is very symbolic)))
We follow!

A draft law has been prepared that increases the term of military service for acquiring the right to a seniority pension to 25 years. What to do?

The very idea of extending the term of service for military personnel to acquire the right to a seniority pension is far from new. Apparently, many are haunted by the fact that the military acquire the right to a pension 20 years after the start of military service.

Recall that according to the federal law "On the Status of Servicemen", a serviceman receives the right to pensions based on length of service after 20 years have passed since the start of military service.

So it turns out that if service under a contract begins, for example, at the age of 20, then at the age of 40 a military man can already retire. So the beginning of many "strangle the toad." Allegedly, so young, and already retired. Moreover, this “toad” sits inside those who have not served in the army for a single day. Those who have encountered military service are well aware that the acquisition of the right to retire after 20 years of service is well deserved, pardon the tautology and pun.

After all, firstly, for 20 years to be in the forefront in all military conflicts, risking life and health, for 20 years to have irregular working hours and irregular working nights, to make many moves with the family, not to have your own corner ... You can add to this phrase there are many more moments that do not make a person's life comfortable and attractive.

And secondly, the size of this very pension after 20 years of service, for example, for a major is 16,000-17,000 rubles, and for a contract serviceman from private to sergeant (who, by the way, are the absolute majority in the army), the pension for service after 20 years service is 10,000-11,000 rubles.

You can check this statement on the pension calculator for military personnel. Just imagine - after 20 years of service in the army, and a pension of 10,000 rubles. Worthy! That is, the state will not particularly go bankrupt by paying such a beggarly pension to servicemen.

But officials in the government want to go a little further and increase the period of this very acquisition of the right to a pension up to 25 years. The development of the draft law is currently underway in the depths of the Main Directorate of Personnel of the Armed Forces, better known to the military by its all-powerful abbreviation - GUK. But the meaning of the developed law is already clear without studying its subtleties.

In order to acquire the right to pensions, a serviceman under the contract will have to serve not 20, but 25 years. That is, if you have served for 24 years, then you have not yet received the right to a pension. The same period can be the period for obtaining the right to permanent housing, that is, not after 20, but only after 25 years of service.

Managers are now afraid to promote and adopt the law - after all, the presidential election. And the law, BETWEEN US, will not become especially popular and approved.

Because the military man, after 20 years of service, became much calmer and the understanding warmed his soul that he would no longer die of hunger and he already deserved his pension, albeit a meager one. Now there will be no such peace and the military will be able to be fired without a pension even after 24 years of service.

The law is likely to be adopted after the presidential elections in March 2018. But, it is still a little unclear what will happen to the servicemen who have served for 20 years and have acquired the right to a pension. Will they be deprived of this right? This is the main question that worries all servicemen with a length of service of 20 to 24 years. Should they sign another contract or not? And if you sign, will you lose your right to a pension?

These questions do not yet have answers, but we know one thing for sure - the state apparatus can do anything and how it is beneficial to it, and not to those for whom the law is being passed. This, BETWEEN US, we have already passed more than once ...

The issue of increasing the retirement age is becoming more and more urgent every year.

Of course, many citizens of our country are interested in the same question - will there be an increase in the retirement age or not?

In particular, this issue is acute for military personnel. For this reason, we will consider the issue of increasing the retirement age for this particular category of citizens.

Legislative regulation of this issue

In the Russian Federation, the question of the necessary military retirement age citizens are governed by the following laws:

Federal law that regulates the issue of financial support for citizens of the Russian Federation. This bill was adopted by the State Duma at the end of November 2001;
the Constitution of the Russian Federation, in particular section 2, which regulates the issue of accrual of pensions for the period of service;
The Constitution of the Russian Federation, namely Article 13, which directly determines the conditions themselves that must be observed in order to enter a well-deserved rest.

Conditions and procedure for retirement for military personnel

It does not matter where and in what position a serviceman of our country served - he has the right to retire from the moment he has 20 years of service.

But at the same time, a small nuance should be taken into account - a soldier has every right after reaching 20 years of service, but the amount of pension provision will be no more than 50% of his own.

However, there is an option to increase profits. To do this, it is enough to retire and continue to work. In this case, you can, at least a little, but increase your pension (+ 3% for each additional year of service).

As mentioned above, the amount of the pension with 20 years of service does not exceed 50% of the salary, but at the same time for each additional year of service 3% is added.

The maximum amount of pension provision is reached after 32 years of continuous military service. With such length of service, every serviceman in our country has the right to count on a pension of 85% of his salary.

It is worth noting that a serviceman's pension has a key advantage over a "civilian" pension - it can be much larger.

Another significant advantage is precisely the length of service. For example, if at the age of 40 a soldier already has 20 years of continuous service, he has every right to go on a well-deserved rest, receive singing and continue to serve.

At the same time, it is also necessary to take into account the fact that for military personnel who served in difficult climatic conditions, 1 year is considered as 2. For this reason, this category has the right to go on a well-deserved rest at the age of 30, and being in age 40 (subject to continued service) can reach the maximum contribution to the pension (85%).

What experience is required for military pilots?

If military citizens who are not pilots are enough for 20 years, then pilots need at least 25 years old.

It does not matter what military rank, what position the pilot served in, the state will not allow you to retire if you do not have 25 years of experience.

Here it is also necessary to take into account the nuance - with 25 years of service, the pension will not exceed 50%, and with 32 years, the maximum amount of 85% will be assigned.

Rules for applying for pensions

First of all, it is necessary to understand that initially the length of service of the military is taken into account.

After that taken into account:

what salary the soldier received during his military service;
a percentage of salary is determined depending on the number of years of service;
check whether there are benefits or allowances.

Registration of pension provision for military personnel is as follows:

It is also worth taking into account the fact that the entire package of documents can be expanded at the request of the military commissariat itself, which may be necessary to confirm the right to apply for a pension (various extracts, certificate of dependents, and so on).

It must be taken into account that the first payment after retirement must occur in accordance with the law no later than 90 days from the date of submission of documents.
