Rules for calculating pension supplements for long work experience. Recalculation of pension based on length of service 40 years of work experience and pension amount

The state guarantees that any citizen who has worked officially can count on a pension benefit upon reaching the specified age. In addition to age, the future pensioner must accumulate the required amount of experience. As of 2019, it is 7 years, and every year the required amount of experience increases by 1 year until it reaches 15 years by 2025.

It is the amount of accumulated experience that is one of the fundamental factors in determining the amount of a future pension. And if your length of service at the time of retirement is much greater than required, then you will receive certain benefits in the form of additional interest.

Let's take a closer look at how pensions are recalculated after 40 years of work experience. Why this deadline? It is this length of service that allows you to go through the procedure for recalculating your pension benefit. After all, with such length of service, a person gets the opportunity to obtain the status of a labor veteran, which implies the availability of benefits.

Mainly two methods are used. For the first, recalculation is carried out automatically. The legislation provides for several similar cases. Moreover, employees know in advance the reasons for such a review. More often:

The pensioner's disability group has changed.
The pensioner has reached the age of 80.
Annual indexation of pension payments.

To carry out the procedure, pension employees do not need a pensioner’s request. You need to know that if fund employees do not have free access to the specified data, then the recalculation is carried out according to the standard scheme. This means that the pensioner will have to collect the required documentation and write a corresponding application, adding papers to it.

The second method is when a person continues to work after reaching retirement age. He refuses to retire. In this case, according to the law, it is necessary to recalculate annually, as the length of service increases. But this data is not received by the Pension Fund, so the pensioner himself needs to submit it.

Basic moments

From what has been written it is clear that recalculation is made only on the basis of specific facts. It has already been indicated that in 2019, at least 8 years of experience are required for retirement, and if a candidate pensioner has more than 40 years of experience, then he is entitled to significant bonuses.

To calculate pension benefits, Pension Fund employees use the following formula - SK/T+B. This abracadabra is deciphered as follows:

Sk means the amount of accumulated capital. It is with this in mind that the revision is carried out.
T– this is the period in months for which payments will be made.
B– fixed payment.

The above formula is used to calculate the pension benefit.

Also, a pensioner with this amount of experience can apply for veteran status. Moreover, the status must be official, with a certificate. It is issued only in social security and nowhere else.

We draw up an application for recalculation

In the standard version, recalculation is carried out according to the pensioner’s application. The following items should be included in the paper:

The name of the Pension Fund branch where the pensioner applies.
The applicant indicates his passport details and SNILS number.
The applicant leaves his contact information.

The application has a template established by law, which is used by all state pension organizations. You can download a sample from the Internet, but it is best to take the version used in a specific Pension Fund department.

Procedure

To receive a larger pension supplement for 40 years of service, you must complete the following steps:

Receive advice on the documentation package from the Pension Fund or a similar organization dealing with the calculation of pension benefits. Fund employees will tell you what documents are needed and how to prepare them.
The next step is collecting the specified papers. Afterwards you need to write an application for recalculation.
We are waiting for a response from the pension and an increased pension.

The issuance of the new pension will begin from the next month after submitting the application.

Obtaining the status of a labor veteran

As already mentioned, those who have accumulated 40 years of experience can obtain this title. This will help you receive additional payments towards your pension.

The algorithm for obtaining the title is as follows:

The first step is to contact social security to submit an application. This can also be done through the MFC.
After receiving the certificate, we write an application for recalculation of the pension in the pension office.

If the answer is positive, we begin to receive an increased pension. Working pensioners are recommended to carry out the recalculation procedure annually, as their length of service increases.

There is no single federal list of benefits for labor veterans; each region has its own. But we can identify common ones for all subjects:

The right to free travel on city public transport.
50 percent discount when paying for utilities.
Free production (repair) of dentures in public clinics.
For working pensioners, vacation is provided at a time convenient for them.

Important

It is not necessary to submit an application in person to the Pension Fund. Your representative can do this, but he must have a certified power of attorney. You can also submit documents via mail or via the Internet (official website of the Pension Fund of Russia).

The application for recalculation must contain information about the applicant’s personal data (passport), you also need to list the reasons why you are requesting recalculation, and a list of attached documentation.

The main documents requested are a passport and SNILS. But fund employees may request others. Which ones they will say themselves.

The submitted application is reviewed in approximately 5 working days.

The pension reform, which came into force on January 1, 2019, made changes to the calculation of pensions and the formation of bonuses. The deductions were recalculated, but not everyone understands what increasing factors were used. For part of the population who have reached retirement age, government payments are the only source of income, which is why every pensioner must understand what money they are entitled to.

An old-age pension can be an insurance payment - for people with more than 9 years of work experience; may be a social benefit - for people who do not have it or who have experience insufficient to transfer the benefit to another category. A pensioner who has not officially worked for the required amount of time will receive a fixed deduction from the state in the amount of 5,180.24 rubles. There are no increasing coefficients for this category of citizens.

Insurance payment is a completely different matter - it can already be influenced by third-party factors. The pension of a person working for more than nine years will consist of a fixed payment of 4982.9 rubles and an individual pension coefficient multiplied by the number of points earned over a lifetime. The IPC is constantly indexed, taking into account the growth of inflation and, at the time of 2019, is 87 rubles 24 kopecks.

The calculation of pension points is based on work experience and the size of the official part of the payment at work: the more time a person devotes to work and the larger the amount of white wages, the more points the employee will accumulate by the time he retires. If even after reaching retirement age a person continues to work, they are accrued with an additional payment. There are a number of circumstances under which a citizen can receive points without working:

1 year of military service will give 1.8 points,
caring for a disabled person of group I will give 1.8 points,
caring for the first child or a person over 80 will also give 1.8 points,
for a year of caring for a second child, a woman on maternity leave will receive 3.6 points,
for the third and subsequent ones - 5.4 points.

Important!

Only an officially employed person with extensive experience can receive a decent pension in old age. There are special maternity payments for women. That is why it is important to choose an official job that will ensure a decent old age.

What factors are taken into account when calculating pensions?

After the reform, in order for a worker to retire, he needs to fulfill one of three requirements: for men to reach 60 years old, for women - 55; accumulate 13.6 pension points, this is the minimum amount for 2019; achieve a minimum insurance period of 9 years. Pension contributions, for which points are calculated, are sent to the fund directly by the employer. Thus, there are several key factors that influence pension calculations:

Total work experience. Experience is formed not only from periods of official work. Forced social activities are also considered: maternity leave or caring for a person with a disability. People with 30-35 years of work experience can count on an increasing coefficient. If a pensioner has worked for 40-45 years, he is already entitled to five increasing factors. For a worker who has worked for 50 years, a fixed additional payment of 1,063 rubles is provided for each year of work.
Industry of work. A person working in a hazardous enterprise that involves difficult working conditions will receive a bonus.
Those employees who work in the Far North also have an increasing coefficient.
The size of the official salary.
Pension option. We are talking about the form of storage and further payments: insurance or funded pension. The insurance pension is considered more stable: it is indexed and paid from the state budget. The savings fund is formed only from the results of investment and can either increase or decrease significantly.

A significant factor in calculating payments is the status of a labor veteran. You won’t be able to get it just like that; it’s only available to certain categories of citizens:

having medals and orders for labor merits of the USSR or the Russian Federation,
having certificates of honor from the President of Russia,
workers during the Second World War,
having insignia, which until 2016 were given for work experience of at least 20 years for women and at least 25 for men.

A citizen with this status can receive an increase of 508 rubles to his pension, as well as discounted vouchers to sanatoriums, monthly compensation for utility, heating and repair costs, free travel on public transport and the provision of medicines. The registration and issuance of the title is carried out by the social protection authorities at the place of residence. The department will check the submitted papers and decide whether to assign this status. For registration you need to provide the following documents:

pensioner's passport,
employment history,
ID photo 3x4,
award medals, certificates, insignia.

Regional surcharge

For pensioners whose payments are below the subsistence level, they can receive a fixed amount on top of the monthly one. The regional surcharge is financed either from the federal budget or from the regional one. Any pensioner from the following categories of citizens can count on increased payments:

pension below the subsistence level,
pension is above the subsistence level, but below the minimum established by the region,
pension is lower than the RF and regional PMP.

The allowance is determined by each region independently; its registration is monitored by the Pension Fund. Its purpose is to supplement the existing deduction to a certain minimum. Thus, residents of Moscow can top up the existing amount up to 11,816 rubles, and a pensioner in the Nizhny Novgorod region up to 8,100 rubles.

Bonus for forty years of experience

One of the provisions of the updated pension reform indicates that for forty years of work experience, a pensioner will receive an increase of 5 points. According to the authorities, this should significantly increase payments. Taking into account the constant indexation of pensions, the additional payment will increase over the years along with the weight of points.

You do not need to work a full forty years to receive the bonus. Thus, for women, one and a half years of maternity leave are included in their work experience. If subsequent births occur, maternity leave is counted for each individual. A woman has the right to serve in the army under a contract; such service will also be included in her seniority.

How to apply for a pension supplement

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation itself recalculates payments and issues bonuses to citizens whose working experience is 30-40 years.

There is no need to fill out any special documents or applications. In the event that an employee has worked for more than forty years, the responsibility for submitting documents to the social service falls on his shoulders. In this case, increased deductions will come a month after submitting the application.

To apply for an increased payment, you must bring the following documents:

application for recalculation of pension taking into account length of service,
passport,
SNILS,
certificates from places of work,
pensioner's ID,
military ID,
pension certificate,
bank statements about incoming wages,
employment contracts.

Important!

The pension fund itself often tracks the length of service and collects data about the person, but despite this, his activities must be monitored. If you notice an error in calculations or inaccurate data in your personal account on the government services website, you should contact the appropriate authority with questions.

Even a woman already receiving a pension can receive an increase in her pension for 40 years of service. The registration procedure will not take much time; it should be completed as early as possible. The pension fund will not take on such a task, so the process of collecting and submitting documents falls on the citizen herself. The preferential additional payment is not large, but if this is the only income for a pensioner, then even this amount is significant.

Recalculation of pensions for 40 years of service in Russia will be carried out in 2018 by analogy with the previous year. The payment rules encourage working citizens to work officially, thereby increasing their total length of service, thanks to which they can achieve an increase.

After a person retires, he can qualify for monthly payments from the state. Moreover, the requirements for length of service, taking into account all the rules, are quite flexible. The minimum length of service to receive an old-age pension must be 7 years. However, you should not leave your job after working for seven years. After all, the longer your experience, the more profitable payments you can count on in the future. The state took special care of citizens and adopted a law that states that pensioners who have officially worked for 40 years or more will be able to receive a pension supplement. Let's look at this issue in more detail.

When are people entitled to an old age pension?

According to the law, every citizen of the Russian Federation is required by the state to receive pension payments as the main source of income upon reaching a certain age or due to certain circumstances. The law establishes that women must retire at the age of 55, and men at the age of 60. Next year this norm will remain unchanged. However, some persons have the right to retire early, as before. This applies to citizens retiring after long service. This occurs after their official work experience with characteristic working conditions reaches its maximum level.

Long service payments are compensation given to people whose professional activities involve increased health risks. It also takes into account that the age of people can negatively affect the quality of work, which is why the state decided to send them into retirement. In turn, such pensioners can continue to work, but in more comfortable conditions, while receiving compensation for lost earnings in the form of a long-service bonus.

What determines the size of pension payments?

According to current legislation, pension payments are constantly indexed and changing. Currently, the pension is formed from 2 parts:

insurance, that is, when during the work experience a working citizen accumulates personal pension coefficients or, in other words, points. After which their number is multiplied by the cost of 1 point for the current period.
cumulative, that is, a fixed payment that is accrued monthly. Its amount is determined depending on the amount of accruals from the employer for the entire period of work of the citizen.

Thus, the length of the total length of service and its availability have a direct impact on the payment of the pension, but are not the factors that play an important role in determining its size.

The amount of pension accruals today, as before, depends on the citizen’s salary, since the salary portion affects the amount of monthly insurance contributions received by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from the enterprise. This means that the higher your official salary, the more money the employer will transfer to your individual account opened with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

If you are an individual entrepreneur, then by law you are required to pay for yourself to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in order to be able to receive the required pension from the state in the future.

What pension supplement is due to pensioners in 2018 for a total length of service of 40 years or more?

Pension accruals consist of a funded and insurance part. The savings part has a fixed rate. Today it is 4805 rubles. The amount of points accumulated over the years of work is added to it, multiplied by the cost of 1 point. In the previous year, the price of a point was about 79 rubles. However, it is expected to increase in 2018.

Personal coefficients are accumulated in the account of the future pensioner. They are accrued from incoming contributions from the employer to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The greater their sum, the more points you can accumulate. In addition, the legislation makes it possible to additionally accumulate them due to the duration of the total length of service. So:

the additional payment for 30 years of service to all citizens is one point;
for 40-45 years of experience adds another 5 points;
For official work for 50 years, a pensioner is given a fixed bonus, which in the previous year amounted to 1,063 rubles. In 2018, this amount may be indexed.

In addition, the amount of the increase in pensions for long overall service depends on the region of residence and the citizen’s workplace.

Will there be an increase for working pensioners for 40 years of service in 2018?

Working pensioners with 40 years of experience behind them deserve special attention. For them, in addition to pension points, it is expected that payments will increase through transfers to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from their place of work. However, indexation of pensions for working pensioners has not been carried out since 2015.

In 2018, these people will be recalculated in the direction of increasing the premium. Preliminarily, we can say that the price of 1 point will be about 81.5 rubles. The state will be able to add a maximum of 3 points or 244 rubles to the pension payments of working pensioners. It is known that funds for indexing their pensions have already been included in the federal budget. This means that the increase will most likely begin in January 2018.

What working periods can be included in the total length of service?

In order for the state to provide you with an additional payment to your pension payments for 40 years of service, it is absolutely not necessary to work during this time. The legislation establishes rules that state that the following will be taken into account in the full length of service:

conscript service in the RF Armed Forces;
maternity leave and the period of caring for the baby until he reaches 1.5 years, however, it is important to note that this period cannot exceed 4.5 years.

The time spent studying at a university in a specialty that will become a citizen’s profession in the future is not included in the work experience according to the law.

Military personnel working under a contract, on the contrary, have the right to count on an increase in their pension for length of service. The amount of the bonus in this case will depend on the number of years served for the Motherland.

What increase in pension for a total of 40 years of service in 2018 can pensioners in the regions claim?

In certain regions of the Russian Federation, local self-government bodies set their own amounts of supplements to pension payments. These amounts usually depend on the cost of living for pensioners in a particular region, as well as the regional coefficient. For example, for a total of 15 years of experience in the Far North, a citizen can qualify for a 1.5-fold increase in payments. At the same time, for 20 years of experience in an area that is legally classified as the North, you are also entitled to a bonus.

In turn, for work in hazardous production, benefits and access to a well-deserved rest based on length of service are entitled, but the state has not provided any bonuses. Therefore, in such a situation, pension payments will be made to citizens as usual.

Where to go to apply for an increase in pension for a total of 40 years of service?

If your length of service is 30-40 years, then the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation will automatically recalculate your pension payment, taking into account all allowances. You do not need to write a special application for this.

If you have worked for more than 40 years, then in order to receive additional payment you must submit the necessary documentation to the social security department. The increased pension, taking into account the allowances, will be transferred to you within a month after the date of application.

What documents are needed to receive an increase for a total experience of more than 40 years?

If you have a total experience of exactly 40 years, you do not need to apply to social security or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. But if you have officially worked for more than 40 years, then you need to bring the following documentation:

Application for recalculation of pension taking into account additional payments for length of service.
Russian Federation passport.
Pensioner's ID.
SNILS.
Certificates obtained at places of former work or at the employment center, as well as from archives and medical institutions.
Characteristics from employers.
For the military: certificates and extracts from orders from military service.
Documents confirming official salary transfers.
Bank account statement proving salary receipts.
Agreements confirming labor relations with employers.

How are pension payments calculated for labor veterans?

For labor veterans, the law provides for completely different conditions for pension payments. Labor veterans include citizens who:

worked as a minor during the Second World War, with a total experience of more than 35 years;
earned the length of service necessary to enter a well-deserved retirement, and during their service they were awarded medals, titles, and orders.

In order to be recognized as a labor veteran, you will need to visit the social security office at your place of registration in order to obtain the appropriate certificate.

To register, you must present:

Russian Federation passport;
work book or papers confirming the necessary work experience;
awards from employers;
3x4 photo for document.

After receiving the certificate, you can qualify for the following benefits provided to pensioners depending on the region of residence:

a travel pass for moving around the city on public transport, issued free of charge;
discount on utility bills in the amount of 50%;
free restoration of lost teeth in a state dental clinic;
another vacation for working pensioners.

A lawyer is ready to answer your questions.

The new rules for calculating pensions should encourage Russians to work more, because the longer the actual work experience, the larger the size of pension payments. While a minimum working period is sufficient to receive an old-age insurance pension. Modern youth can already take care of their future by accumulating funds in a pension account, while pensioners can only expect an increase in their pension due to annual indexation. But old-age pensioners who have the opportunity and desire to continue working continue to increase the amount of savings in their individual personal accounts. Thanks to the enrollment of these contributions, there is reason to recalculate the monthly pension annually. In this case, the pensioner is not required to submit a corresponding application to the Pension Fund or the social service - the recalculation is carried out without a statement.

At the moment, the assignment of pensioner status and the assignment of payments is carried out in accordance with Federal Law 400-FZ, which was adopted in 2015. Pension and social reforms force us to make appropriate additions and comments.

In accordance with current legislation, the size of the monthly salary directly depends on the number of accumulated pension points. If the total work experience of a pensioner exceeds 45 years or 50 years (women and men, respectively), 5 additional points are added to him. At the moment, 1 point in monetary equivalent is 78.58 rubles. Moreover, this value is not a constant, but depends on the cost of living, currency stability and prices for basic goods and services.

In the case when the total work experience of a Russian pensioner exceeds 50 years, he is entitled to additional supplements to his pension. At the moment, the amount set at the federal level is 1,063 rubles. To receive an additional payment, a pensioner must contact the territorial department of social protection with a corresponding application. In addition, you will need a package of documents, which includes a passport, pension certificate, insurance and work book. The amount of the bonus may be increased in connection with regional policy or in cases where the pensioner’s work activity was associated with special working conditions.

More information about what is included in the length of service and how to calculate it correctly can be found in the territorial office of the Pension Fund.

Good afternoon, unfortunately, your argument that at this age you won’t get a job anywhere is not a basis for early retirement. Either apply for a disability pension or wait until you are 60 years old. 45 years of service will be taken into account when assigning a pension.

Is it possible to recalculate a pension after 40 years of work experience?

The main instrument for providing financial support for elderly people in our country is a pension.

To be appointed, citizens must have a certain length of service, which includes periods of labor.

If the length of service is minimal, then the size of the pension will be small, but if it is over 40 years, then the amount of payments will increase significantly. You can learn about the features of calculating pensions for people with extensive work experience from the article below.

Pension calculation

The insurance pension, which most pensioners are entitled to count on, consists of the following components:

Insurance part. It is formed from accumulated insurance points, and their number depends directly on the volume of transfers of contributions to the Pension Fund and payments of a fixed nature. The size of the latter in 2019 is 5334.19 rubles.

Accumulation part. Its formation is possible only for those citizens who have chosen the appropriate method

The pension is calculated by summing the insurance and funded parts.

What kind of bonus is due if the experience is 40 years or more?

To qualify for payments in the form of an insurance pension, a citizen must have a certain insurance period, which in 2019 is 10 years, and the required number of insurance points

However, such rules have existed only recently - after the 2015 reform. Persons who have worked for a long time still have Soviet experience, when the concept of “insurance pension” did not exist.

However, the mechanism for assigning pension payments provides for the valorization of pension rights that arose for citizens before 2002. At the moment their entire volume was reformatted into points, therefore, the conditions for granting a pension are the same for citizens who have work experience before 2002 and for those who began working after it.

Taking into account the peculiarities of pension formation in the current period, there are no provisions in the legislation regulating special, separate payments for persons who have worked for more than 40 years. The size of the pension payment directly depends on the number of points. At the same time, certain “bonuses” are additionally provided for long periods of work in the form of additional points.

So, for 30 years of work (for women) and 35 for men, 1 point is added to the IPC. And for 40 years (45 for men) of work, a citizen is immediately given 5 points, which undoubtedly gives a significant increase in the amount of pension benefits, given that every year the price of 1 point increases.

There are no additional benefits for the very fact of a long period of work at the federal level.

The title “Veteran of Labor” also provides certain benefits. However, in order to receive this insignia, an applicant must meet one of the following criteria:

having a working experience of 35 years (women) or 40 years (men), while the start of work must occur during the Second World War;
sufficient work experience to retire and the availability of awards and incentives for valiant work.

The volume of benefits and allowances for persons who have the honorary title “Veteran of Labor” is directly determined by the local legislation of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, based on their budgetary capabilities. However at the federal level they are entitled to the following benefits:

provision of subsidies and discounts on housing and communal services payments in the amount of 50%;
discounted travel on public transport (municipal);
free dental prosthetics (only in public health care institutions).

The key advantage that became available with the adoption of Law No. 400-FZ is the simplified procedure for confirming length of service - all this information is generated automatically based on the employer’s reporting. Prior to registration in the insurance system, work activity is confirmed in the same manner - on the basis of work books, certificates from the employer, archival documents, etc.

The legislation stipulates benefits for people from small peoples of the Far North. They are assigned social benefits 15 years earlier:

from the 55th birthday for men;
from the 50th anniversary of women.

Problems may arise for a person while studying records in the Labor Code. To prevent them, you need to take the following actions:

So, for 30 years of work (for women) and 35 for men, 1 point is added to the IPC. And for 40 years (45 for men) of work, a citizen gets 5 points immediately, which undoubtedly gives a significant increase in the amount of pension provision, given that every year the price increases by 1 point.

There are no additional benefits for the very fact of a long period of work at the federal level.

The title “Veteran of Labor” also provides certain benefits. However, in order to receive this insignia, an applicant must meet one of the following criteria:

sufficient work experience to retire and the availability of awards and incentives for valiant work.

provision of subsidies and discounts on housing and communal services payments in the amount of 50%;
discounted travel on public transport (municipal);
free dental prosthetics (only in public health care institutions).

Also, a working pensioner who has the status of “Veteran of Labor” can count on one more vacation, in addition to the main one, the time for which he has the right to choose independently.

How recalculation occurs

Persons with extensive work experience, including over 40 years, often wonder how Pension Fund specialists will take this fact into account, and whether it is necessary to go for recalculation. In practice, it depends on the specific situation.

If a citizen, already a pensioner, continues to work, then the bonus for length of service, expressed in additional pension points, requires recalculation of the pension. However, it occurs exclusively without a declaration, that is, without the participation of the pensioner. As a rule, recalculation is carried out in August of each year, but based on the amounts of insurance premiums transferred for the previous period.

If, when calculating a pension to a citizen, the total number of years of service was initially incorrectly calculated, then, if he has documents confirming additional years of service, he has the right to count on a recalculation. To do this, the pensioner should come to the Pension Fund office with the relevant papers.

As such, additional payment for work over 40 years is not provided for by law. However, points are awarded for additional periods, which affect the amount of financial support.

In addition, if certain conditions are met, a pensioner can acquire the status of “Veteran of Labor,” which also implies certain payments, the amount of which is determined by decisions of local and regional authorities.

Supplement to pension for 40 years of service: how to get additional payment

Pension security is guaranteed to our citizens by the basic law of the country - the Constitution. Any Russian can count on social support from the state in old age, but such financial assistance depends on many factors. How different are the benefits for those who have worked for a long time and for those with shorter years of experience?

Does the pension depend on length of service?

Pension legislation has undergone significant adjustments over the past decade, and today new formulas are used to determine security. The formation of pension payments according to the new rules is based on the principle of stimulating a person’s desire to work longer in order to receive decent funds in old age. As a result, the determination of payments is significantly influenced by length of service, especially long-term work experience – more than 35, 40 years.

The government strives to improve the quality of life of Russians of any age group. A bonus increase in pension benefits for long-term work demonstrates a favorable financial result for both pensioners and the state budget. It is important to understand that the amount of security depends not only on the amount of time worked, but also on officially received labor income and contributions paid by the employer.

The insurance part of the pension consists of a fixed amount, a fixed amount, which is the same for everyone (for 2020 - 4982.9 rubles) and points earned by the pensioner, multiplied by the cost of the point. Own individual points (individual pension coefficient - abbreviated IPC) are awarded to a person depending on the insurance contributions paid annually by the employer from the salary of the future pensioner to the Pension Fund (abbreviated PF) during the period of work. In addition, additional points (coefficients) are awarded for long work experience.

Moreover, the main role is assigned to insurance premiums, and the period of work, as previously was the case under Law No. 173-FZ “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation,” does not play the previous role. It should be noted that an increase in pension for 40/30 years of service is carried out when a citizen is awarded the title “Veteran of Labor”, awarded by social security authorities in accordance with regional legislative norms. In addition, the monthly financial increase is complemented by a number of benefits.

Minimum experience

The procedure for calculating and exercising a Russian’s right to insurance coverage is regulated by Law No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”. According to its provisions, one of the mandatory parameters for assigning old-age benefits was defined as length of service with a minimum value of 15 years. It is expected that this value will be reached by 2025. During the transition period, this value will increase gradually, depending on the time of retirement, and for 2020 the number is 9:

Pension points and IPC value

After the entry into force of Law No. 400-FZ, today the future insurance part is guaranteed by the employee’s contributions. Payments began to be determined not from the pension capital, but from the IPC. Pension rights that the Russian earned earlier are also converted into points and taken into account when assigning state support in old age. Points that can be collected in a calendar year are calculated based on officially paid contributions from earnings.

The coefficients earned per year are limited. For retirees going on vacation in 2020, the maximum value is set at 8.7. The parameter is set separately for both the insurance and savings parts, but due to the “freezing” of the savings amount, the size is the same regardless of the choice of accrual system. The point has a value that is subject to indexing. For the current year 2020, Law No. 420-FZ increased the cost of one coefficient by 1.037 times and equals 81 rubles 49 kopecks.

Legal regulation

Russian legislation in the field of insurance pension accruals consists of a number of regulations. The main norms are laid down by Laws No. 167-FZ “On Compulsory Pension Insurance in the Russian Federation” and No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions”. The regulations regarding pensions financed by the federal budget are prescribed by 167-FZ; for military personnel (including employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs), the provisions of Law No. 4468-1 apply.

The mandatory indexation of pension benefits is provided for by Law No. 400-FZ, and the cost of one individual pension plan is adjusted annually by a separate law approving the pension fund budget. Additional benefits for veterans of all groups are established by a special legal act - Law on Veterans No. 5-FZ, which, among other things, introduces the term length of service to create preferential pension conditions.

Bonus for forty years of experience

Given that the formation of security for old age depends on insurance contributions, the work experience of a pensioner may be affected by receiving an additional payment to the main monthly part and other factors. Duration of activity of 35 years (women)/40 years (men) increases payments by establishing an additional supplement for the person as a labor veteran. The additional payment, as well as the decision to confer a veteran title, is determined by the social security institutions in the region where the pensioner lives.

The amount of additional payments is influenced by the industry of work, area of residence and work, and the presence of salary bonuses. It should be clarified: this monetary increase is due if the applicant is already receiving old-age benefits. In addition to the bonus, the pension after 40 years of service is increased due to a number of benefits, some of which are translated into monetary terms. Each additional year gives bonus points:

one point – for a working life of 35 years for men, 30 for women;
five points for work duration: 40 for men, 35 for women.

What periods are taken into account?

In order to receive a pension recalculation based on length of service and additionally receive point coefficients for a long period of work, it is not necessary to work for the required number of years. The legislation provides for the inclusion of non-working periods, which are also included in the final length of service. These include:

military service;
maternity leave;
caring for a disabled person (an adult of the 1st group or a child), a person over 80 years of age;
the period of registration as unemployed with the employment authorities;
period of incapacity for work due to illness (if sick leave is available).

Education is not included in this list. Since insurance deductions do not occur during such time periods, the duration of the period directly affects the formation of the insurance part - the longer they are, the lower the payments. So, the points awarded are:

compulsory military service – 1.8;
care for children under 1.5 years old - first 1.8; second 3.6; third/fourth 5.4;
care for the disabled and the elderly – 1.8.

Conditions of receipt

Some pensioners have an unconditional opinion that additional coefficients are automatically awarded for 40 years of work. The legislation did not provide for an increase in security specifically for long-term employment after a Russian retires on retirement. If the pensioner is not a labor veteran, then there are no separate, special benefits for long service.

At the same time, an increase in pension for 40 years of service, provided there is enough time worked to qualify for a veteran’s title, is not the only basis on which it is possible to receive an additional payment to the pension. The duration of total output affects the increase when:

length of service was not taken into account when creating security (for example, there was no supporting documentation);
the pensioner continues to work.

The benefit for a pensioner who has worked in hazardous work is calculated in the standard manner. Its size depends, first of all, on the employer’s insurance contributions, the amount of which is determined by the category of danger of the employee’s work. Harmfulness is assigned by the certification commission. If the profession is recognized as dangerous, the employer is obliged to additionally transfer insurance funds. The contribution amount is, as a rule, 20-30% of the employee’s monthly income according to the payroll.

Amount of surcharges in regions

The amount of the pension supplement for 40 years of service if a Russian has Veteran of Labor status is fixed, but the amount depends on the place where the pensioner lives. Legal regulation on the decision whether to pay extra for long-term work experience is the responsibility of the constituent entities of the Federation, and funding comes from local budget sources. The monthly cash payment (abbreviated EDV) to labor veterans and the additional package of benefits, which allows them to reduce costs and indirectly increase income for pensioners, differ in volume in the regions.

The main benefits are the same - free or discounted use of public transport, utility discounts, production/repair of dentures. Thus, in St. Petersburg, the daily wage, taking into account indexation, is equal to 828 rubles; honored workers are provided with preferential payment for housing (50%), housing and communal services (50%), and city and suburban travel. In the Sverdlovsk region, labor veterans receive 805 rubles. every month, 50% discount on housing payments and another 433 rubles. separately for travel.

In Moscow, labor veterans have the opportunity to enjoy free commuter rail travel, the manufacture of dentures, and treatment in a sanatorium. Veterans' cash compensation for home telephone payments is also provided. The monthly municipal payment for Muscovites is 495 rubles. The decision to index the EDV is also made annually at the local level.

For military pensioners

Both civilian and military pensioners have the right to state benefits for their length of service - to a pension upon reaching age. A second civil pension upon reaching certain years is assigned if insurance premiums have been paid for at least five years. The insurance part is provided for those persons who already have military support and continue to work in any civilian institution. In order to issue an addition, the following should be submitted to the Pension Fund department along with the application for recalculation:

passport;
SNILS;
a document from the law enforcement agency on the length of service to take into account state benefits based on length of service;
work book;
information on average monthly earnings for five consecutive years.

Working in the Far North

Russians who have worked for a long time in harsh, remote northern conditions will be able to claim payments from the state before the required standard age mark is reached. Thus, a man who has worked in the Far North for fifteen years or in territories equivalent to it for twenty years or more will be able to go on vacation from the age of 55.

For women, with a total work experience of 20 years and a similar duration of work as for men in the Far North (15 years), this threshold is 50. For representatives of professions - reindeer herders, hunters, fishermen, who both work and live in this area, early retirement five years earlier than in the example given here, that is, for men - from the age of fifty.

Pension recalculation

The size of the increase in pension for a long-term working activity of a retired citizen differs from the nature of the expected bonus for the following reasons:

The applicant provided additional certificates, extracts, and documents that were not previously taken into account.
Contributions were identified that were not taken into account for various reasons.
Additional criteria have appeared that affect fixed payments.
Insurance premiums are recalculated when a pensioner who is already receiving benefits from the state stops working.
The sufficiency of conditions for obtaining a “Veteran of Labor” certificate is taken into account.

The increase is established after recalculation, while for the fourth case, as a situation of an undeclared nature, recalculation occurs automatically based on the contributions transferred by the policyholder. When applying for new documents that increase the amount of payments, the citizen must apply for recalculation to the territorial branch of the Pension Fund. The increase will begin in the month following the application. If the grounds arose a long time ago, the pensioner will receive payment only for the last six months preceding the application.

Receiving the title "Veteran of Labor"

Additional payments to pensioners for long-term work are provided if they have an identification document “Veteran of Labor”. The honorary title is assigned by the social security authorities at the person’s place of residence. Article 7 of the Law “On Veterans” No. 5-FZ provides the following conditions for assignment:

the applicant began his career as a minor during the Great Patriotic War with a final labor output of 40 (men) and 35 (women);
awarding the applicant departmental badges for merit in a specific production field for a period of 15 years or more with an insurance period of 25 (men)/20 (women) or length of service required for pension purposes;
the presence of government, presidential awards (orders, medals, certificates) and honorary titles of the Russian Federation or the USSR.

The regulations for awarding the title are the responsibility of legal decisions of federal subjects of Russia. Persons awarded departmental labor distinctions as of June 30, 2016 retain the right to be awarded a title with a minimum of 25 years of experience for men/20 years for women on the condition that the insurance period corresponds to the assignment of pension payments for length of service in the calendar period.

It is not so easy to formalize the title, since controversial issues often arise, mainly due to departments approving their own awards. Each industry independently approves awards, and the constituent entities of the Russian Federation themselves develop a list of departmental awards, taking into account the industry-specific production specifics of the region. To confirm the eligibility of existing awards, they must comply with all the grounds:

requirements for the establishment of departmental honorary insignia in accordance with Government Decree No. 578;
compliance with procedures approved at the local level.

The main provision for labor veterans in old age is an old-age insurance payment, which is calculated on a principle similar to that for all citizens. The value usually depends on the parameters of the long insurance period, retirement age, and salary. The increase is provided by:

indexation of payments taking into account inflation;
establishing a social supplement up to the regional subsistence level;
assignment of monetary payments and compensation.

The monthly additional payment is assigned from the regional budget, so the volume of the package of social veteran benefits is different for each region of the country. In some cases, a citizen can use monthly receipt of money instead of available services (these options are determined by the local legislation of the constituent entity of the Russian Federation). The basis for the increase for long-term work will be the pensioner’s continuation of activities until the required parameters (number of years) for the assignment of veteran status are achieved. For the title registration procedure you must prepare:

passport;
pensioner's ID;
sample photo;
documents confirming the award.

Basically, assignment occurs after the pension has been assigned. The package of documents is reviewed by the social protection department based on registration: all benefits are provided at the official place of residence. The following circumstance requires attention: honorary veteranship is available only to a Russian citizen of the Russian Federation. For a foreigner who has worked for a long time at Russian enterprises, the procedure is possible after he has obtained Russian citizenship.

How to receive pension supplements for long service

In order for a pensioner to be able to exercise his rights to an increase for long-term work, it is necessary to complete and personally submit an application. Documents can also be submitted by a legal representative on the basis of a power of attorney certified by a notary. Benefits are provided on an application basis, that is, at the request of the person himself, and in order to acquire additional state support, you must independently and on time submit documents on rights.

Each federal subject has the right to independently regulate the amount of benefits, taking into account the territorial subsistence minimum and the regional coefficient. Automatic calculation of the bonus is possible if the pensioner continued to work and the employer transferred contributions to the insurance fund: then, after dismissal, the citizen receives an increase from the next month.

Application for recalculation of pensions for working pensioners

The application form will be provided by the social security authorities. The form contains columns to be filled in according to the required documents, which are listed in the inventory after the application in conjunction with passport information. Since the application and other information contains personal information of the applicant, the application confirms consent to the processing of information in accordance with Law No. 152-FZ. If you have difficulties filling out, a social worker will help you with the correct registration.

Where to contact

Having collected the required package, you should contact not the Pension Fund, but the social security service at your place of residence. The pension fund is not authorized to establish such bonuses. In order to take full advantage of the privileges, it is recommended not to delay the visit, but to do so as soon as the pension is assigned. There are several ways to contact:

submit an application to the social security department;
send an electronic application through the government services website.

Documentation

To receive a monthly increase for long-term work, the following must be attached to the application:

passport;
pensioner's ID;
confirmation of length of service (employer certificates, work book);
SNILS;
confirmation of old-age insurance payments;
veteran's ID.

If the applicant wishes to receive money to a bank account rather than via mail, then the list is additionally supplemented by a certificate with bank account details for crediting funds. If the documents comply with all the rules and requirements for changing payments, the pension provision is recalculated. In case of non-compliance with the prescribed legislative requirements, the citizen receives a written substantive report.

Pension supplement for 40 years of work experience in 2020

For many older people, pension payments are the only source of income, so they are very interested in recalculation of pension for 40 years of service. Naturally, a person who has worked all his life has the right to receive bonuses, so the state has prepared a pleasant surprise for pensioners in the form of an increase in payments, and, according to Federal Law No. 400, those whose official work experience exceeds 40 years can apply for bonuses.

What factors are taken into account when calculating pensions?

Increasing payments to those who worked conscientiously over a certain period of time is a good incentive for future retirees to work “the white way” and not receive wages in envelopes. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation has established a fixed amount of pension payments in the amount of 4 thousand 805 rubles, to which payments are added for each earned pension point. The number of these points depends directly on the amount of fees paid. What ultimately influences the formation of a pension:

Industry, and many had to work in difficult conditions.
The geographical location of the object, and many had to work with false conditions in the North, for example.
Availability of bonus payments, from which deductions were also made to the budget.

The state has set the cost of one point - 78.58 rubles, while specialists of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation take into account the level of inflation, so this figure is not final and may change if the cost of living increases significantly. This means that pensioners can count on further increases in social benefits. Not only pensioners, but also officials are interested in the issue of increasing pensions, especially for those pensioners who continue to work and fill the budget, respectively. Unfortunately, indexation of pensions, due to the crisis in the country, has not been carried out for a long time, but in 2020 we can expect fundamental changes, and it is likely that working pensioners will finally receive the bonuses they are due.

What is included in work experience?

There are many unclear aspects regarding the formation of work experience. People are interested, in particular, in what to do if work activity was temporarily interrupted for various reasons. This could happen for the following reasons:

completion of military service upon conscription;
Work experience also includes caring for group 1 disabled people and disabled children;
caring for people who have reached the age of 80 is taken into account when calculating pensions;
one and a half years of maternity leave, for each child, but not more than 5 years.

Until recently, the amount of pension was also influenced by the period of study in secondary and higher educational institutions, but today the period of study is not included in the total length of service. It is expected that payments for non-working pensioners will be revised first, although there is hope that in 2020 pensioners who continue to work will begin to receive more.

How to apply for a pension supplement for length of service, what documents will be needed

To receive an increase to an existing pension, a pensioner must apply to the Pension Fund himself, but many are in no hurry with this issue and do the right thing. By deferring the receipt of additional payments, such pensioners can subsequently increase the number of points and the total amount of payments, respectively. The thing is that when recalculating pensions, the delay in applying to the Pension Fund for an increase is also taken into account. In this case, the size of pensions increases, so experts do not advise rushing in this matter. It remains to find out where to apply for a pension supplement for 40 years of work experience in 2020, and what is needed for this. If the official work experience is more or less than 40 years, then there is no need to collect documents, but if it exceeds this period, you will need, first of all:

application for recalculation of social benefits (taking into account length of service);
passport of a Russian citizen;
pensioner's ID;
insurance number (“green book”);
work book, other documents that will help prove the presence of work experience (certificates from places of former work, employment contracts, documents from the employment center and archives of institutions);
bank statements confirming receipt of wages into the employee’s account;
identification and extracts from orders for military personnel;
in some cases, state awards will help increase the size of pension payments: badges and medals;
photo to be pasted into the veteran's ID card.

By submitting these documents, you can count on automatic recalculation of social security benefits. Accordingly, an increase in payments can be expected as early as next month. Many people are interested in who sets the amount of bonuses to monthly cash payments, and in some cases the amounts differ significantly. In Russia, this issue is dealt with by local self-government bodies, which is why the amounts vary.

When calculating a pension, the cost of living in a particular region is also taken into account, where it is especially worth paying attention to the regional coefficient. Thus, specialists who have worked in the Far North for 15 years can count on a 1.5-fold increase in pensions. Those who have worked for 20 years in areas equivalent to the northern ones can also count on this.

When can a Russian retire?

Every Russian, in accordance with the Constitution and current laws, has the right to count on social benefits from the state if he reaches retirement age and for other reasons. If we are talking about an old-age pension, then for women social payments begin upon reaching the age of 55, men can retire at the age of 60. As before, in 2020 the age of pensioners will not change; there will also remain categories of persons who can qualify for social benefits for disability or long service, if working conditions allow it.
As for hazardous industries, the employee receives different types of compensation from the state, while officials understand that a person’s age can negatively affect a person’s ability to work. Therefore, in agreement with employers, it was decided to send such employees to retire earlier than the legal date. Often retirees remain working at the enterprise, but they are offered more comfortable working conditions, and they can count on an increased retirement pension.

What determines the size of your future pension?

Every pensioner wants to know what the amount of social payments consists of, and according to current legislation, it consists of two parts. First of all, the insurance part of pension payments deserves attention, directly depending on the length of service and accumulated points.

The amount of pension payments depends on the length of service, but this is not a decisive indicator, since there are other factors on which the size of the future pension depends. To a greater extent, the decisive factor is the size of the salary - the larger it is, the higher the pension, since the higher the amount transferred by the employer to the individual account of the future pensioner. By the way, this also applies to individual entrepreneurs who are forced to make contributions to the pension fund on their own.

Will there be a real pension increase in 2018?

Despite the fact that pensioners who have officially worked for at least 40 years deserve to have their pensions increased through transfers and increased points, pensions have not been indexed since 2015. Meanwhile, in 2020, pensioners can breathe easier, as bonuses are planned by the budget. In particular, pensioners who continue to work officially can add a minimum of 3 points to the asset.

Where to apply to receive an allowance

What additional benefits do labor veterans have?

Having provided a package of documents and received a veteran’s certificate, pensioners whose work experience exceeds 40 years can also apply for other social benefits and preferences in the form of free travel on municipal transport. A 50 percent discount on utility bills is also expected; a labor veteran can also restore lost teeth, subject to contacting public dentistry. Among other things, working pensioners whose work experience exceeds 40 years may qualify for additional leave.
