Information about additional payments to military pensioners. Information on additional payments to military pensioners Increase in military pension

At the beginning of the year, the Internet was filled with rumors about an increase in pensions for military pensioners in February due to some monthly surcharges. Even the amounts of additional payments were called - as if, in addition to the pension itself, retired military men are now entitled to 2,500 rubles every month. Is it true that from February 1, 2018, military pensioners are entitled to a monthly surcharge, what surcharges exist for this category according to the law.

Is it true that from February 1, 2018 military pensioners are entitled to a monthly surcharge

Many military pensioners have already received their February pension and are convinced that, of course, information about such surcharges is another canard. It is enough to look at several similar messages on the Internet, and everyone can find something in common. Firstly, every single one of them is published on dubious sites with a lot of advertising. The main task of such portals is not to inform people by telling the truth, but to attract them with high-profile headlines to make money on advertising.

The fact that readers are misled in this case is of no interest to the authors of such articles.

Secondly, in none of these articles there is a reference to a regulatory document that would talk about surcharges. It is very vague and not specific about a certain decree of the President of Russia, which was allegedly signed back in December 2015 or 2016. Neither the number of the decree, nor a reference to it is given, but in vain - there really was such a document, and more on that below.

If we turn to serious online publications that work according to journalistic standards and publish only official information, then nothing is said anywhere about the monthly surcharge for military pensioners from February 1, 2018. An example is an article on the Rossiyskaya Gazeta website, which describes the latest legislation that comes into force in February.

Which presidential decree is mentioned when it comes to the monthly surcharge for military pensioners from February 1, 2018

Apparently, when they talk about new monthly surcharges in the amount of 2,500 rubles, news is announced that is almost 2.5 years late.

Indeed, in December 2015, Presidential Decree No. 610 was signed, which refers to a monthly supplement to military pensions for those pensioners whose pensions were not revised during the reform in 2012. Such pensioners who did not fall under the reform received a pension that was lower than that of their “colleagues” who fell under the reform. And to eliminate this injustice, the following roadmap was written:

from October 1, 2015, the supplement amounted to 2,500 rubles (that's where this amount came from);
from February 1, 2016, the supplement was increased to 3,700 rubles;
from February 1, 2017, the supplement was increased to 4,900 rubles.

In 2018, there was no increase, with the exception of the planned one, which happened back in January.

What additional payments for military pensioners exist in 2018

Some monthly surcharges for military pensioners exist in addition to those mentioned above. True, not for everyone.

When determining the amount of the additional payment, in most cases, the so-called estimated pension amount (RRP) is taken into account, which is equated by law with the social pension for the disabled of the second group - 5,034 rubles 25 kopecks until April 1, 2018 or 5,240 rubles 65 kopecks - after April 1, 2018 of the year.

The allowance is received by:

military pensioners who became disabled due to military trauma - from 1 to 3 RRS;
disabled people - participants of the Great Patriotic War - from 1.5 to 2.5 RRS;
participants in the Second World War - 0.32 RRP;
blockade-disabled - from 1 to 2 RRP;
disabled people of the first group - 1 RRP;
military pensioners over 80 years old - 1 RRP;
non-working military pensioners who are dependent on disabled family members - from 0.32 to 1 RRP, depending on the number of dependents.

Heroes of the USSR, Russia, as well as those awarded the Order of Glory receive a double pension;
Heroes of Socialist Labor and Heroes of Labor of the Russian Federation increased their pensions by 1.5 times;
Olympiad champions' pension increased by 1.5 times.

There are also special co-pays for those exposed to radiation during tests or accidents. Regional coefficients and regional additives are applied.

The civil pension, which some military pensioners count on, is planned to be indexed in 2019 on a par with payments to other citizens. According to the latest news, this will be held in January.

But in order to receive a civilian pension, military pensioners in the Russian Federation must meet the conditions specified in the special Federal Law No. 400.

It provides for those components in the presence of which the former military will be able to receive a second pension from the state, along with the payments that are due to them for length of service in the military department.

The latest news about bills being prepared for adoption in the State Duma says that indexation is planned not only in 2019: it can be done annually. According to some reports, the basic pension of the military next year is also planned to be increased by a percentage corresponding to the level of inflation. yandex_ad_1 Situation with military pensions

Since the release of the law "On Insurance Pensions", military pensioners have received the right to accrue a second pension allowance, provided that after entering a well-deserved rest after military service, they will start working in the civilian field.

This practice became legal in 2015, when the military was given the opportunity to work and earn insurance points, and it is possible to increase the size of the payments due to the amount of wages and time spent in peace.

A fixed payment, which is accrued to citizens without a military pension, they are not entitled to.

This provision has caused dissatisfaction among some pensioners who receive regular retirement benefits. But there should be no grounds for such dissatisfaction. Former soldiers and officers earned their military resources by defending the country and enduring certain difficulties. In addition, these funds are credited to them not by the Pension Fund of Russia, but by the Ministry of Defense.

There was no indexation of military pensions for a long period, but in 2018 it was announced that the need for it was overdue, and the economic situation in the country had somewhat stabilized.

With a promise to recalculate all the amounts, the military was practically guaranteed that from October 1 of this year they would be able to receive their payments already in an increased amount. But now they are talking about postponing what was promised to next year, however, already from January 11th.

On the increase in the size of the second pension

The civil pension is small in size, since the practice was introduced only 3 years ago. Its accrual depends on the amount of salary received and accrued pension points. There are nuances in the promised increase:

the GP itself is not indexed for the military, although they receive very small amounts;

the cost of points increases, which do not accrue more than 3 per year;

after raising this value, 1 point became worth 81.49;

the last time it was raised by 3 rubles;

even if indexation happens, it will be about the same amount.

yandex_ad_2 To apply for a second pension, a military man who falls under the requirements stipulated by the Federal Law can apply to the nearest branch, or to the official website of the PFR. There is another option - through the State Services. GP is not assigned automatically, and its size depends on the place of work and insurance premiums.

You can also contact the personnel department or the multifunctional center. Accruals will be small, and indexation concerns only the cost of the IPC.

All of the above clearly demonstrates that in this type of payment you should not count on a significant increase, especially if the salary is relatively small.

How much will military pensions increase from January 1, 2019, the latest news on the indexation of pensions for military pensioners for today.

Vladimir Putin announced an increase in military pensions by more than 6% in 2019. On October 1, 2019, thanks to the adopted decision on indexation, the monetary allowance of military personnel and persons equated to them will increase by 4.3%, and military pensions will be additionally indexed by another 2%. In total, the overall increase in military pensions will be 6.3%

Innovations in the legislative framework raises the question: will the military pension increase from January 1, 2019? The reduction factor has not been canceled and is subject to indexation by at least 2%. This usually happened on January 1st.

On the same date, the law is based on changing the amount of the monetary allowance of the military. So the increase in military pensions in 2018 occurred in January. However, in the speech of the Deputy Minister of Defense, the dates appeared - October 1.

Therefore, today it is difficult to say unequivocally when the monetary allowance will be increased, and, consequently, the pension for the military in 2019. More accurate information will appear at the time of the publication of the bill on the next indexing. While he is gone, a retired soldier should focus on the dates: October 1, 2019 and October 1, 2020.

Pensions to the military from January 1, 2019 government decree

Pensions for military personnel are calculated somewhat differently than for civilians. For this, there are several regulations that indicate how to determine the amount, what allowances are due, in what cases it can be increased, how to index the amount annually. These include:

act dated February 12, 1993 No. 4468-1;
Decree of the Government of September 22, 1993 No. 941.

Article 49 of Law No. 4468-1 defines a one-time procedure for indexing monetary allowances for active military personnel and retired citizens. This operation lasted 9 years, until 2012, but after that, in accordance with part 9 of Art. 2 acts dated November 07, 2011 No. 306-FZ indexing all types of payments for military personnel was frozen for 6 years. The situation changed only in 2018.

The increase in military pensions in 2018 was due to the signing of Government Decree No. 1598 dated December 21, 2017. According to it military pensions from January 1, 2018 rose by 4%.

Some military pensioners have additional social statuses that allow them to receive additional financial support (EDV). These include:

war veterans;
combat veterans;
invalids.

The procedure for calculating and the size of the UDV are established by the regulations that apply to the civilian population of the country. The payment is financed from the Pension Fund. So on February 1, 2018, the EVD was increased by 2.5%. Specific sizes for individuals are shown in the table.

Retired status	Amount of EDV, in rubles	Base
War invalid	5180,46	Law of January 12, 1995 No. 5-FZ "On Veterans"
Military police departments, State Fire Service, Penitentiary Inspection, State Security, who became disabled due to wounds, contusions, injuries, if they were received in the line of duty	5180,46
Combat Veteran	2850,26
Family members of the dead (deceased) war invalids, combat veterans and military personnel of the Armed Forces, Department of Internal Affairs, State Border Service, Penitentiary Inspection, State Security Service, who died in the line of duty	1555,13
Family members of soldiers killed in captivity, missing	1555,13
Group I disabled person	3626,98	Law of November 24, 1995 No. 181-FZ "On the social protection of persons with disabilities in the Russian Federation"
Group II disabled person	2590,24
Group III disabled person	2073,51

Military pensions since April 1, 2018 increased by 2,9 % by indexing the size of the social pension. The growth did not affect all payments, but those where the social size of the civil pension is used. This applies to allowances for disabled servicemen in the reserve.

According to the Decree of the Government of March 7, 2018 No. 238, the size of the lump-sum allowance for servicemen dismissed due to unsuitability was increased. Such a condition must have been caused by military trauma. Despite the fact that the law was adopted in March, its effect applies to cases that have arisen since the beginning of 2018. The amount of compensation, taking into account 4 % growth was:

2562112.32 rubles for contract employees;
1,281,056.16 rubles for conscripts and the civilian population called to the training camp.

From May 1, 2018 the minimum wage was increased to 11,163 rubles, but this had no effect on the amount of military pensions.

Latest news from the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the increase in pensions for the military

The Minister of Defense's latest news on military pensions was announced at a meeting with journalists at the end of 2017 - December 29. News sources TASS, Interfax, media group Zvezda report that Deputy Defense Minister Tatyana Shevtsova reported on a gradual increase in the pay of all categories of servicemen and military pensioners. It is planned that this will happen in the period 2018 - 2020. The first indexation from the plan has already taken place on 01/01/18. Military pensions in 2018 increased by 4 % . The remaining two indexations will pass 1.10.19 And 1.10.2020 by the same 4%.

The budget for 2018 and the planned 2019-2020 contains sufficient financial resources and sources of replenishment for this. A total amount of 81.8 billion rubles is planned for the activities. By October 2020, the total increase in pensions will be - 12 % .

Will there be an increase in military pensions from October 1, 2018: Latest news?

When drawing up the federal budget in 2017, it was planned that the four percent increase would be proportionally divided into 2 stages: 2% each from January and October. However, Vladimir Putin instructed to carry out early indexation of payments to retired military personnel - from January 1, 2018, pointing out that the funds should be brought to the recipients at the end of this year with the advance calculation of pensions for the coming January.

The President drew attention to the fact that the 2018 budget draft violated the synchronization of indexing, which is provided for Law No. 4468-1. Since salaries were indexed from 01/01/18, and pensions - from 02/01/18.

As early as December 2017, 2.6 million people received pension payments under the new sizes. Thus, the budget reserve was exhausted, therefore, from October 1, 2018, there will be no increase in pensions.

How is military pension calculated?

The basis for calculating the military pension is monetary allowance (VDD), which consists of many components. This is the main difficulty. VDD includes:

Salaries for military rank.
Cash payouts.
Regular payments.
Charges in the form of allowances of the type:

for qualification;
for special conditions of military service;
for attitude to state secrets;
for seniority.

The amount of the pension payment is determined by the formula:

P \u003d (VDD * 50% + SDD * In * Cl) * Kp,

VDD- total allowance accrued at the time of dismissal,
Ying- the percentage for exceeding the established length of service, takes the value of 3% for length of service and 1% for length of service,
Cl- a year beyond the established period,

Yip- the coefficient establishing the pension rate as a percentage of the GDD in 2018 is 72.23%.

After the calculations have been made, the amount of the pension is compared with the minimum and maximum amounts established by law. So the lower limit should correspond to the size of the civil social pension, and the upper limit does not go beyond the amount defined as 85% of the VDD. Let's turn to the table.

If a retired military man receives a pension calculated according to the length of service, then, in accordance with Article 17 of Law No. 4468-1, he receives an additional payment. Its specific size depends on one of the conditions:

32% if 1 disabled person is dependent;
64% have 2 dependents;
100% for the maintenance of 3 dependents or the recipient himself has a registered disability of group I, the recipient has reached the age of 80 years;
100 - 300% of the amount of the social civil pension, if there is a disability;
100 - 200% to the blockade of Leningrad in the presence of official status.

The second pension for military pensioners: what is it for?

Military pension comes early, when a citizen has not reached the age recognized for calculating a pension on a general basis - 55 or 60 years. Such persons have the opportunity to find employment in sectors of the economy not associated with the Ministry of Defense and earn a second pension. The pension for military personnel in the reserve is calculated and transferred by the department where he served: the Ministry of Defense, MIA, FSB, Russian Guard. The presence of the first military pension does not cancel the right of a citizen to receive a civil insurance pension.

Second pension for military pensioners is accrued by the Pension Fund subject to a number of conditions:

a person must register with the mandatory pension insurance system, thus opening an individual pension account;
it is necessary to be officially arranged when the employer pays the due contributions to the FIU;
access to the second well-deserved rest at the age of 55 for women, 60 for men;
the minimum civil work experience as of 2018 is from 9 years (for the following years, this figure is gradually increasing to the norm of 15 years);
earn the maximum number of points in the retirement account - 13.8 points in 2018.

The formula for calculating the second pension is as follows:

P2 \u003d Bp * Cb,

Where Bp- the amount of accumulated pension points. This indicator is available for verification in your personal account on the portal of the Pension Fund, State Services. Information can also be obtained with a personal application to the client department;

CB- the price of 1 point, in 2018 - is 81.49 rubles. Each year, the value of one pension point is increased by a relevant government decree.

A preliminary calculation can be carried out using the online calculator located on the Pension Fund portal. For example, with a civil service of 10 years and a salary of 25,000 rubles, 29.38 points will accumulate, and the pension will come out - 7377.33 rubles.

Pensions for working pensioners have not been indexed since May 1, 2018, because they are based on no minimum wage. Therefore, working military pensioners receive insurance payments in the same amount.

For retired military personnel belonging to the following categories, it is possible to use pension savings in a way convenient for them:

receive the amount by a one-time transfer to the account;
make an urgent payment;
distributed in such a way as to receive a supplement to the insurance part of the pension.

People can do this:

1967 births and younger, from whose income contributions were transferred to the funded part;
owners of the maternity capital certificate, when the formation of the funded part was chosen;
made voluntary transfer of additional contributions under the Co-financing Program;
men born in the period from 1953 to 1966, women - from 1957 to 1966, if for 2002-2004. contributions to the funded part were transferred from their income.

Will the reduction factor for military pensioners be canceled in 2018: Latest news?

On January 1, 2012, the regulatory act dated November 08, 2011 No. 309-FZ came into force. He established a modified mechanism for calculating the magnitude pensions for military pensioners. An indicator equivalent to 54% of the VDD has been introduced into the formula. In subsequent billing periods, this ratio should be indexed by 2% until the total value is 100%.

The government decided to take this forced step, since the country experienced instability in economic development, and there was a severe shortage of budget funds.

A simple calculation shows that this should happen in 2035. The document also provided that the coefficient could be increased due to inflation. In practice, this norm has become known as the “reducing coefficient” or “pension tax”, since it does not allow the pensioner to receive the entire amount of the payment received in the standard calculation. Its abolition could significantly improve the position of retirees. On the positive side, the reduction rate grew at an accelerated pace, and this year it is equal to 72.23% of the VDD, instead of the 66% prescribed by law.

Since the introduction of the reduction factor, all the military and some representatives of the parties demanded to remove it, claiming that it violates constitutional rights. However, a number of rulings of the Constitutional Court (17.07.12 No. 1433-O, 24.09.12 No. 1800-0) established the fact that the norm does not entail a decrease in the absolute value of the pension payment, since there is a procedure for step-by-step indexing of the indicator, which partially compensates for the level of inflation.

For 2019, it is planned to increase military pensions for October in the amount of 4%. However, the issue of indexation, the abolition of the reduction coefficient, changes in length of service and the replacement of pensions with a social package remains open.

Despite the announcement by officials that the pension reform at this stage will not affect the military sphere, there is conflicting information on the network about the abolition of preferential accruals and an increase in length of service. We will try to figure out how payments for retirees will change, what to expect for future pensioners.

Legislatively, the accrual of seniority allowances and allowances is regulated by decrees and acts that are different from the laws on civil pensions. In this area, first of all, they rely on:

Government Decree No. 941.

Both documents were adopted back in 1991. In addition to them, the fundamental law in the field of accrual adjustment is Federal Law No. 306, according to which a reduction factor was introduced and the indexation of payments to retirees was frozen. Every year, amendments are made to this document, and current Resolutions are adopted, which regulate the growth of pension payments for former employees of the Ministry of Defense and those equivalent to them.

In connection with the implementation of the pension reform and, an important question began to be raised among the security forces, what will happen to their benefits, benefits and other indicators related to pensions.

Since the very procedure for adopting a new pension law is under consideration, it is too early to draw conclusions. In addition, the authorities officially announced that the reform at this stage will not affect former military personnel. As for the specific figures and prospects for increasing military pensions in 2019, they will be reflected in a separate Decree, which is signed simultaneously with the federal budget, that is, in October-November 2018.

How military pensioners increase pension payments

Due to the specifics of the accrual of benefits to retirees, the growth of payments is possible in several directions:

In proportion to the increase in the allowance of active military servicemen, since pensioners' benefits are tied precisely to this indicator.
Due to the annual change in the reduction factor - according to the law, the indicator must increase by 2% every year.
Carrying out indexation above the level of inflation is frozen by Federal Law No. 306 for 6 years.

In addition, former security forces with mixed length of service can count on an increase in old-age pensions. Those who decide to pursue a career in the civil service will receive increased payments through the recalculation of pension points. Separate increases await pensioners who receive social benefits for disability,.

Since each indicator is regulated by separate acts, and the increase is carried out at different times, it is worth considering each of them in more detail.

Military pension increase

In 2018, the moratorium on the indexation of allowances and, accordingly, pension payments to military personnel was lifted. But the recalculation of benefits was not traditionally carried out in October, but at the beginning of the calendar year. Such an adjustment of the terms was made by the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation V.V. Putin. This was the reason for the cancellation.

The postponement of indexation provoked rumors about an increase in benefits for retirees in January 2019. However, this information has not been officially confirmed.

The immediate prospects for the growth of allowances were outlined at a joint meeting of the security forces in March 2018, where Tatyana Shevtsova, Deputy Minister of the Defense Ministry, announced that payments to military pensioners, except for January 2018, would be indexed in October 2019 and 2020. Moreover, the size of indexation will remain unchanged - 4%.

It turns out that the next increase in benefits to the military will have to wait until October 2019.

To receive the allowance, the pensioner does not need to submit documents or apply for recalculation. Payouts are recalculated automatically.

Reduction factor prospects

The concept of "reducing factor" was introduced by Federal Law No. 309 of November 8, 2011, according to which the allowance of retirees was almost halved, compared with the VDD of the active military. It was planned to gradually increase the coefficient by 2%, bringing it to full size.

The issue of abolishing the “pension tax”, as the military themselves call the reduction factor, is raised regularly. But the decision was never made due to the lack of budgetary funds.

However, the indicator for 5 years increased much faster than planned by the legislative act. So, in 2017, there were payments to retirees with a coefficient of 72.23%, instead of 66% laid down by law.

In connection with the indexation of the VDD at the beginning of the year, the reduction factor was left unchanged in 2018 - its growth was frozen until January 1, 2019.

The question of raising the reduction factor for military pensions in 2019 before the adoption of the federal budget remains open. But based on officials' statements about the growth of payments due to the indexation of the GDD, which, according to forecasts, will be higher than inflation rates, the coefficient will be left at the same level - 72.23%.

How the second pension of military pensioners will change

A retired soldier with mixed service is entitled to receive insurance accruals provided:

reaching retirement age;
more than 9 years of civil service;
accrual of pension points in the amount of more than 13.8.

Such benefits can be received both by retirees who worked in the civil spheres before the service, and by pensioners who have earned civil service after going on a well-deserved rest after years of service.

In 2019, pensioners in this category can count on a 7% increase in payments. But such indexation applies exclusively to the second insurance benefit and will not affect the military pension.

Important! It should be borne in mind that from 2019 the age for applying for a social pension will increase.

If the retiree continues to work after reaching retirement age, his second pension will not be indexed in 2019. In this case, payments will increase due to the recalculation of pension payments. Usually this procedure is carried out automatically in August.
