Benefits for retirement. Preferential pension: who is entitled, how to get

The Government Decree of 26.01.1991 approved two lists of professions, which give the right to an earlier retirement. When compiling these lists, the degree of exposure to the human body of harmful factors - climatic, physical, chemical, noise, etc. was taken into account. List No. 1 includes professions with especially difficult and dangerous working conditions. The second list contains specialties with difficult and dangerous working conditions. Citizens whose profession is on one of the lists can retire earlier than usual.

According to Russian law, such employees have other privileges. So, articles 117 and 147 Labor Code entitled to higher wages additional leave, reduction of working hours, free vouchers to health resorts, etc. Similar benefits can be prescribed in local regulations. At the same time, such regulatory legal acts cannot “cut off” the benefits that are provided for at the all-Russian level.

Thus, by approving lists 1 and 2, the state guaranteed citizens whose work is associated with life and health-threatening production factors the right to early retirement and improved social security.

What is the difference between lists #1 and #2

Let us further consider how list No. 1 differs from list No. 2 and what professions are included in them. There is no clear distinction between the lists, since professions are repeated in them. Therefore, to understand the essence of the existing differences, one must turn to legislation.

The first list includes professions with especially difficult and dangerous conditions, while the second list consists of difficult (harmful) professions without the prefix “especially dangerous”. Therefore, it is logical to conclude that professions from the second list are less dangerous for human health than professions from list No. 1.

What benefits are provided to representatives of professions from list No. 1

The first list includes:

• mining workers;
• workers producing non-ferrous and ferrous metals, employed in the oil and gas industry, in the production of medicines, glass, building and chemical materials;
• workers employed in the printing industry, in transport, in the health sector;
• representatives of other professions.

If your profession is on the #1 list, you can retire ahead of time"on a universal basis". But for this you need to meet certain conditions - to have a specific number of years of experience in this profession, general insurance experience and a certain age.

And now more specifically. Men whose profession is on the list No. 1 can retire at 50 if they have more than 10 years of experience in the relevant job and a total of 20 years of experience. Women whose profession is on the list No. 1 can retire at 45, provided they have more than 7.5 years of special experience and a total of 15 years of experience.

According to pension legislation, men generally retire at 60, and the weaker sex at 55.

Thus, belonging to the profession to the first list gives the right to retire 10 years ahead of schedule.

Benefits under the second list

The second preferential list includes the following professions:

• mining workers;
• workers employed in the production of chemical materials, metals, hardware and refractories;
• workers processing shale, coal, metal;
• working in railway transport, social security and health care, food processing and communications.

Men who have reached the age of 55 and women over 50 have the right to early retirement. Representatives of the stronger sex must have a total experience of at least 25 years and a special experience of more than 12.5 years. The corresponding length of service for women is 20 and 10 years.

Summing up the above, we conclude that both lists give the right to preferential social and pension benefits to those employed in complex and hazardous industries. To use these benefits, a citizen must meet the conditions - to reach a specific age and have a specific general and special experience behind him.

On the right to recalculate pensions for citizens receiving a pension under List No. 1 and having work experience under List No. 2

The current pension legislation provides for the right to different kinds pension recalculations.

The basis for one of these recalculations is the existence of work experience under List No. 2, including taking into account the summation with the work experience under List No. 1 (the required duration as of 01.01.2002) for citizens receiving a pension under List No. 1 - p. 1 hour 1 tbsp. 30 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” (until January 1, 2015, paragraph 1, part 1, article 27 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ “On Labor Pensions in Russian Federation»).

The requirement to have work experience under List No. 2 (taking into account the summation with the work experience under List No. 1) as of 01.01.2002 is due to the fact that the recalculation is made taking into account the revision of the initial pension capital as of the specified date on a different basis (Article 30 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 No. 173-FZ "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation").

Thus, the right to recalculate a pension when the basis is changed from List No. 1 to List No. 2 is acquired by persons:

Those who have reached the age giving the right to a pension under List No. 2 - clause 2, part 1, art. 30 of the Federal Law of December 28, 2001 No. 400-FZ “On Insurance Pensions” (age for men must be at least 55 years, for women - at least 50 years);

Having the duration of work experience under List No. 2, taking into account the summation with the work experience under List No. 1 as of 01/01/2002, not less than the required age for applying for recalculation in accordance with the table retirement age persons working under List No. 2”;

Having an insurance period of at least 25 years for men and 20 years for women as of 01.01.2002.

Reducing the retirement age of persons who worked under List No. 2

Pay attention! The profitability of the specified recalculation of the pension is checked by the specialists of the client service of the territorial body of the PFR on the basis of documents.

In some cases, if there is a long period of service according to List No. 1, this type of recalculation may not be profitable!

Retirement of a man according to List No. 2 in 2017

Thus, in 2017, a man has the right to retire under List No. 2 if he has:

• experience under List No. 2 for at least 12 years and 6 months;
• age at least 55 years;
• total insurance experience: - at least 26 years - until March 31, 2017,

• age: - not less than 51 years old - until March 31, 2017;
• total insurance experience: - at least 21 years - until March 31, 2017;

Incomplete preferential service according to List No. 2

Employees who have at least half of the length of service in harmful and difficult working conditions are granted pensions on preferential terms:

• for men - reducing the retirement age from 60 by 1 year for every 2 years and 6 months of such work;
• for women, a reduction in the age of entitlement to an old-age pension by 1 year for every 2 years of such work.

Offset of experience according to List No. 1 to experience according to List No. 2

It is possible to offset the "harmful" experience according to List No. 1 into the experience according to List No. 2. Such a situation arises when the employee's experience under List No. 1 is less than 5 years (half of the required), and the experience under List No. 2 is more than 6 years and 3 months (half of the required).

For example, an employee has 4.5 years of experience under List No. 1 and 8 years of experience under List No. 2. This experience is less than half required seniority according to List No. 1 and does not give the right to early retirement. However, the length of service under List No. 2 is more than half of the required length of service under List No. 2, and it gives the right to early retirement. In this case, the experience according to List No. 2 is added to the experience according to List No. 1 - one to one: 8 + 4.5 = 12.5 years. As a result, the employee enters a preferential pension: not at 60, but at 55.

Additional insurance experience under List No. 2 is not required

For the years of work experience under List No. 2, no additional credits to the insurance experience are made.

Preferential pension according to the list of professions No. 2 in Russia

In the Russian Federation, the usual retirement age is sixty for men and 55 for women. This age is quite high for the relatively short life expectancy of Russians. Thus, the average life expectancy in Russia last year was a little over seventy years. At the same time, in men, the average life expectancy is significantly lower than the average level and amounts to a little over sixty years. For women, the same indicator is selected by the age of eighty.

Thus, it is the weak half of humanity in Russia who enjoys a long rest after work experience. Men, it turns out, die, barely having time to retire. In fact, the situation with men is not quite the same; for their low average life expectancy, they are responsible not only for a small age of survival, but also for frequent deaths at a young and mature age. Therefore, those men who have lived to retire, live not a couple of years, but a little longer. But many representatives of the strong half of humanity in Russia never receive pensions at all.

As you can see, the situation with old-age pensions is very unfortunate for the stronger sex. Therefore, many of its representatives strive to retire as early as possible so that their insurance payments to the Pension Fund are not wasted. There are several ways to retire before the age of sixty:

• work as a military or police officer, security officials have the opportunity to retire early;
• for those who do not like work associated with violence, professions with difficult or dangerous working conditions are suitable.

Professions with difficult or dangerous working conditions are legally divided into two lists:

The first list contains professions that are of particular value to society and at the same time have very difficult working conditions. Professions from list No. 2 are also quite difficult, but not to the same extent as from the first. In addition to earlier retirement for a well-deserved rest, work in the specialties listed in these lists makes it possible for a person to receive a pension. bigger size and a number of benefits.

It should be noted that there is no need for all seniority be engaged in dangerous occupations in order to benefit from the benefits due to those employed in such areas. It is enough to have a certain work experience in them, and it will allow you to use big amount benefits. The remaining length of service required for retirement can be worked out in lighter jobs. Thus, in order to receive the so-called pension under the 2nd or first list, it is not necessary to destroy your health in hard work during the entire length of service.

So, in order to receive a pension under the first list, a man must work at hard work for at least ten years. In order to receive a pension under the 2nd list, it is enough to work for twelve and a half years. It is interesting that women can also earn these preferential pensions, it is even easier for them to achieve this, since the required minimum length of service for them is much lower. To receive a pension under the first list, a woman needs to work at hard work for seven and a half years, to receive old-age payments under the 2nd list, ten years of hard work is enough.

Men who have sufficient work experience in jobs from the first list and a total work experience of at least twenty years in Russia can retire at the age of fifty. For this, women in Russia need to have a total work experience of fifteen years, if this condition is met, they can retire as early as forty-five years.

With sufficient work experience at work from the 2nd list, men can retire at the age of 55 with a total work experience of at least 25 years. A woman, under similar conditions in Russia, has the right to retire at the age of 50 if she has a total work experience of 20 years.

For those persons who were employed in jobs from the 1st and 2nd list in Russia, but did not work out the full length of service, preferential pensions are also intended. But this is only if they have worked at least half of the standard length of service. In such cases, the retirement age is reduced in proportion to the ratio of the length of service worked in hard work to that required for the earliest possible retirement. If the employee was employed at work from both lists at once, then in this case, the age of his retirement also continues to be determined proportionally, but using more complex formulas.

The procedure for confirming the right to early retirement

It is very important to understand that in order to get the right to use the benefits intended for those employed in the professions listed in the 1st and 2nd lists, in Russia it is necessary that the entry about the profession in your work book fully corresponds to one of the indicated positions. Otherwise, even if you performed the work prescribed for the profession on the lists, but your position was called differently, then you will not be able to obtain the right to benefits except through the courts.

The right to a pension in the Russian Federation is regulated by the law on state pensions No. 340-1 dated 11/20/90. According to this law, all citizens of the country have the right to receive a pension when they reach the age of 60 for men and 55 for women when they develop a certain length of service.

Right to a reduced pension

• associated with heavy physical labor or work in adverse conditions;
• carried out in the conditions of the Far North or in an area equated to them;
• due to a certain deadline, after which, regardless of age, the right to a pension comes.

The right to a preferential pension means that a person may apply to the government upon reaching the age and he will be assigned a monthly allowance. At the same time, he can remain in the workplace for as long as he considers acceptable for himself, but he will be paid a preferential pension regardless of whether the citizen is working or not.

At different times in the country there were different laws, sometimes the payment to working pensioners was stopped, but then a certain amount was added to the pension for each year worked. But at present there are no restrictions on receiving a pension and earnings.

Some benefits are provided to pensioners only when they reach the all-Russian retirement age.

Appointment of a preferential pension in industries with special working conditions

Depending on the actual health consequences of long-term work in enterprises where it is impossible to create a healthy microclimate, there is a right to give production a short period of one's working life and subsequently go on holiday earlier.

This period is set so that during work in harmful conditions the human body receives the least wear. Therefore, there are categories of harmfulness, and they are classified as List No. 1 and List No. 2 of production, work, positions and indicators. These lists are an appendix to the law on pensions, and approved by the Council of Ministers of the Russian Federation dated 02.10.91 No. 517.

Subsequently, some professions were supplemented and included in a separate list as an addition. Until 1992, such lists also existed, and the length of service before this period is considered according to the previous position.

List #1

Preferential pension according to the list No. 1 is assigned to persons employed in hot shops of the metallurgical and machine-building industries, in chemical industries and in the mining industry for underground work. However, there are professions that can be found in other industries as well. So, a steel caster at a metallurgical enterprise and at a repair plant where there is a melting furnace have the same benefits. Therefore, the preferential list specifically lists all professions and positions in each industry.

According to him, grace time for people working with harmful conditions, the total length of service for men should be 20 years, for women - 15. At the same time, in hazardous production, men must work 10, and women seven years and six months.

If the experience is not fully developed, then the right to early exit for a preferential pension is retained, provided that the person has worked more than half of the harmful period. At the same time, for each year of work, one year is removed from the time of the onset of retirement age according to all-Russian standards. This right is enjoyed by those whose experience in hazardous work is more than 5 years for men and 3 years 9 months for women.

If the worker for the period of his labor activity worked in several industries with harmful conditions, then preferential experience can be added up and considered common. So, a person who has worked as a cellulose cooker for 6 years and a steel smelter for 4 years, the total experience according to list No. 1 gives the right to a preferential retirement age.

The same incomplete experience may subsequently supplement the time of work on the preferential list No. 2, if there is not a sufficient period.

List #2

This list contains works that are less harmful to health than those in the first list. However, even being in an unhealthy atmosphere for whole working days affects the physical condition of workers. Numerous measurements and calculations of scientists confirm this. According to the second preferential list, the total work experience should be 25 for a man, 20 for a woman. Men must have at least 15 years of work experience in hazardous conditions. Women on the second list must work for 10 years.

In the case of an incompletely worked out preferential period, but more than half, for every two years of harmful experience for women and two and a half for men, the right to retire one year earlier arises.

Calculation of seniority in hazardous work

When collecting documents for retirement, always, in addition to the entry in the work book, a supporting document is required stating that the applicant worked in the specified profession full time, and moments when he was not directly employed in harmful conditions are excluded from the length of service. This applies to periods:

• administrative leave;
• Holiday to care for the child;
• long business trip, performance of state duties;
• study leave.

That is, from the length of service that gives the right to a preferential pension, periods are removed when the health of the worker was not endangered. But the time spent on sick leave due to disability goes into experience. In the event of an injury or occupational disease during the performance of official duties in a hazardous profession, the preferential length of service is credited to him, even if he has a disability.

List number 1 includes the work of a diver. Naturally, he could not be in the water for a working day. Therefore, for this profession, there is an addition, which is considered a full load of 25 hours of scuba diving every month, 275 hours are required to be submerged annually. Within 10 years, the total amount of hours under water must be at least 2750, otherwise the preferential service will be incomplete and recalculated according to the actual accumulated time. And there are such explanations for every difficult case.

When calculating seniority, there are coefficients that increase it for those who have worked:

• in leprosariums and anti-plague institutions - the experience is increased by 2 times;
• in the regions of the Far North and in areas equated to them - 1.5 times;
• seasonal work counts as a year.

Work in the Far North and in areas equated to them, regulated by law No. 4520-1 of February 19, 1993"On State Guarantees and Compensation for Persons Working in the Far North, etc." According to this law, the length of service in the North is set at 15, and in places equivalent to them 20 years for men. Women are supposed to work five years less. This allows workers in the Far North to retire 10 years earlier, that is, at 50 and 45 years old, respectively, for men and women. In areas equated to the north, the retirement age is reduced by five years and is 55 and 50 for men and women.

If a citizen has lived most of the term in the Far North, and the other part in an area equated to it, then when calculating the length of service for early retirement on a preferential pension, conditions are applied that allow recalculating the length of service with a coefficient. That is, the experience of the equated area must be recalculated, calculating each year of residence there as 9 months in the Far North. Provided that more than half of the required time has been lived in the Far North.

This does not mean that a person at this age retires, he has the right to it and can, receiving a preferential pension, continue to work at the previous place of work. No one has the right to be forced to retire before reaching the all-Russian retirement age.

How is experience with seasonal work calculated?

A specially approved list of seasonal work includes such as peat extraction or field surveys in geological expeditions. Due to these works cannot be carried out year-round, during the field period, the working day is forced to lengthen, it is customary to consider seasonal periods when calculating the length of service, as full year. But these are certain works according to the approved list, which is not expanded in interpretation.

For the year, the experience is considered only to the employee who spent the season in full or was injured or injured associated with work.

Appointment of a retirement pension

Same, 340 - 1 of the Law on Pensions Article 83 provides for the right of certain categories of citizens to retire on a preferential pension when working out the length of service that is assigned for this type of activity.

One of the large groups of such privileged professions are workers employed in workings of an open and closed nature in the extraction of minerals. Moreover, the main professions leading the development in mines are included in the list No. 1, and other professions serving them, including mine rescuers, have preferential seniority upon retirement, regardless of age.

The same category of beneficiaries includes teachers, medical workers, divisions of fire protection, bodies of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. According to the same law, preferential pensions for long service are accrued. air and water transport workers.

What all these categories have in common is that they receive a preferential pension based on their length of service in the profession, regardless of age. If we calculate the time of study at the university and the time of service, then a military pensioner can become one at the age of 43. The main criterion for retirement is the length of service, which in most cases is 25 years for men. Women should work five years less.

If a certain category of citizens goes on vacation, then pension payments in each profession are assigned individually taking into account working conditions and departmental allowances. But in general, the amount is 55% of the average earnings with a minimum work experience, and with each year worked, the allowance increases by 1%, up to 75%. Only teachers are allowed to receive a seniority pension and continue to work. The rest are faced with the choice of retirement or work in the same place.

There is no spontaneity in assigning a pension for long service. Everything is subject to the Law on Pensions, and the Decree of the Ministry of Labor of 05/22/96 No. 29 on the procedure for assigning a pension for long service. At the same time, there is an appendix with a specific listing of professions and benefits that employees can count on under the Pensions Law.

The procedure for applying for a pension

Application for an old-age pension each employee submits in person. At the same time, a package of documents is collected confirming the length of service and the right to a preferential pension. This should be helped by employees of the personnel department, who confirm the right to benefits with certificates and extracts from the archives.

In addition, you will need financial documents and other information which are accepted in pension fund for calculation monthly payments. Documents must be submitted to the pension department two to three months before the right to retire. Time is required to verify all the information and establish a pension business.

Law No. 350-FZ signed by the President on October 3, 2018, which provides raising the retirement age from 2019, significantly changes the current system of early pensions in Russia. In particular, new law provides for a change in release dates for such preferential pensions, How:

For these categories of citizens, the period of working capacity will increase, starting January 1, 2019 All changes will be carried out gradually, providing for transitional provisions during which the retirement period will be rise gradually until it reaches the values ​​stipulated by the bill.

It should be noted right away that the law does not include changes in terms of destination:

Changes in preferential pensions for health workers and teachers in 2019

Under the terms of the old legislation, teachers and doctors provided for the opportunity to retire early with a certain amount of work experience by profession:

• - 25 years teaching experience;
• - 25 years of special experience in the countryside or 30 years in the city.

For 2018, the pension legislation reduced the retirement age for them relative to the old generally established values ​​- they can make payments ahead of schedule when they reach 55 and 50 years old for the male and female population, respectively.

The pension reform provides for an increase in the established values ​​​​of the preferential retirement age for them, starting from 2019. Each year, these values ​​will increase by 1 year (except for 2019 and 2020, when preferential terms proposed by V. Putin will be in effect), until they are established in the final version - 60 and 55 years old(that is, an increase of 5 years for men for women is provided).

Year of issue pension payments according to the old law	Retirement age for the proposed bill		Year of retirement according to the bill
	Men	Women
2019	+ 0.5 years = 55.5	+ 0.5 years = 50.5	2019 and 2020
2020	+ 1.5 years = 56.5	+ 1.5 years = 51.5	2022
2021	+ 3 years = 58	+ 3 years = 53	2024
2022	+ 4 years = 59	+ 4 years = 54	2026
2023	+ 5 years = 60 etc.	+ 5 years = 55 etc.	2028

Thus:

• For men working in the conditions of the Far North and areas equated to it, the transition period will last from 2019 to 2023 - during this period, a gradual increase in age will occur for them. Starting from 2023 for them, the significance of the retirement age will be finally fixed - 60 years.
• For women transitional provisions will also be in effect during the period 2019-2023, and the final value will be fixed in 2023 - 55 years.

It should be noted that the increase in the period of working capacity will not affect workers in the Far North and areas equated to them if they carry out their labor activities (for example, workers in ferrous and non-ferrous metallurgy, miners, railway workers, etc.). For them by law no changes planned.

Preferential harmfulness pension in 2019

As previously noted, no adjustments to the conditions of appointment (so-called "list 1" and "list 2") since 2019 The government does not plan. The right to early registration of pension payments for them is conditional on difficult and harmful working conditions, in connection with which the employer pays additional contributions to the Pension Fund for the formation of a preferential pension.

The list of professions that give the right to early retirement pension, is determined by the Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR No. 10 of 01/26/1991. The conditions for assigning a preferential pension for them from 2019 still remain (see table):

1. Reaching the retirement age set separately for lists 1 and 2.
2. Availability and required quantity.
3. Availability of required benefits.

The conditions for the preferential appointment of an old-age pension for employees from lists 1 and 2 are presented in the table:

Floor	Condition (in years)
	Retirement age	General experience	Preferential experience
List No. 1
Men	50	at least 20	10
Women	45	at least 15	7,5
List #2
Men	55	at least 25	12,5
Women	50	at least 20	10

The reduction of the retirement age in terms of harmfulness is carried out in the presence of at least half of the required benefit period and full insurance (general) period in the following way:

• for each full year of preferential work under list No. 1, the retirement age is reduced by 1 year;
• when working under list No. 2, a decrease by 1 year of the retirement age is made for men for every 2.5 years of preferential service, and for women - for every 2 years.

Read more about how it will be issued taking into account the adopted changes in pension legislation.

In 2018, no significant changes in the appointment of pensions are planned. The usual retirement age is 60 for men and 55 for women. There are certain categories of workers who go on a well-deserved rest a little earlier. For the first time the concept of preferential pension was introduced in our country in 1956. Decree of the Council of Ministers No. 1173. It is set depending on working conditions and work performed 5 or 10 years earlier than usual.

Everything is painted possible options appointments of old-age pension accruals to citizens earlier than usual. Early retirement depends on the following factors:

1. Features of working conditions and performance of certain duties. These categories include workers engaged in coal mining, steelworkers, metallurgists, pilots, employees of medical institutions, teachers, etc.
2. Special social status. Preferential pensions are provided to mothers of many children, persons who have worked in the conditions of the Far North for a period established by law, and disabled people.

The age of receiving preferential pension payments is determined by two components:

• the presence of a profession in one of the lists approved by the Government of the Russian Federation;
• actual work experience in the profession.

Lists #1 and #2

Professions for which persons who have worked for a certain period of time by law have the right to apply for early retirement have been approved. The Decree approved 2 lists:

Back to list 1 include workers engaged in production activities with harmful conditions, professions and positions related to underground work, as well as persons working in hot shops. To receive an early pension under this list (withdrawal 10 years earlier than usual), certain conditions must be met:

• at least 7.5 years for women and at least 10 years for men;
• the total work experience must be 15 years for women and 20 years for men.

Go to 2nd list professions associated with difficult working conditions are ranked. Coming to a well-deserved rest occurs 5 years earlier. Conditions under which a preferential pension is granted:

• performing work with difficult working conditions for at least 15 years for women and 20 years for men;
• the total length of service of employees must be at least 20 years for women and 25 years for men.

If there is not enough work experience in the profession that provides benefits, then it is possible to reduce the retirement age in proportion to the years worked for employees belonging to lists 1 or 2. At the same time, you must have more than half of the required length of service to receive benefits. For the 1st list, the decrease in the retirement age will correspond to a ratio of 1:1, for the 2nd - for women 1:2 and for men 1:2.5.

Terms of appointment	Men	Women
List #1
Retirement age	50 years	45 years
General experience	Over 20 years	Over 15 years

Special work experience

Special length of service is the duration of labor activity associated with special working conditions, on the basis of which an early pension is assigned. The basis for calculating such experience is:

• an entry in the work book, if we are talking about activities before 1996;
• extract from an individual personal account after 1996.

The profession recorded in the work book must comply with the unified tariff-qualification guide (ETKS). If the record is correct, then no other documents are needed for confirmation. Otherwise, a special certificate from the enterprise will be required. It must contain the numbers and dates of the documents that are the basis for a preferential pension. For example, an order for admission to work or an extract from the staffing table.

The rules for calculating the period of employment for receiving a preferential pension are prescribed in Government Decree No. 516 dated 11/07/2002. Benefits include:

• direct labor activity;
• probation;
• period of temporary disability;
• holidays basic and additional;

• transfer of a pregnant woman on the basis of a medical report to light work.

The following are not included in the benefit:

• vacation time for exams;
• leave without pay;
• temporary suspension from work.

Mixed experience

The calculation of the mixed length of service for the calculation of early retirement on a well-deserved rest occurs in a situation where there is not enough special work experience or the length of service is calculated for several reasons. For example, in order to obtain the right to early retirement under list No. 2, periods of work in the profession from list No. 1 are included in the special length of service.

For the military, it is required to serve in the army for 20 years. In this case, upon reaching the age of 45, they have the right to retire. But not always by this age the special experience reaches the desired value. In this case, it is charged mixed pension, which requires:

• total experience of at least 25 years;
• 12.5 years of service in the army.

Conditions for receiving early retirement for teachers

IN Government Decree No. 781 dated 29/10/2002 contains a list of positions and the name of institutions in which early retirement is assigned to teachers. This document regulates the procedure for obtaining it.

It is required to produce certain hours per year:

• for school teachers there should be at least 240 hours;
• for teachers of secondary vocational education at least 360 hours.

The total work experience must be at least 25 years.

Important! For teachers primary school and teachers of rural schools are not required to develop a certain annual balance of hours.

The following may qualify for early retirement benefits:

• directors and their deputies managing educational institutions;
• teaching staff of schools;
• head teachers;
• preschool educators;
• additional education teachers;
• music school teachers;
• sports coaches.

Important! By 2030, it is planned to gradually phase out all benefits for the early provision of pensions to all teaching staff.

Conditions for obtaining an early pension for medical personnel

The procedure for granting an early pension to employees of medical institutions is regulated Government Decree No. 781 dated 29/10/2002. Physicians working in the following departments can apply for it:

• surgery;
• resuscitation;
• intensive therapy;
• forensic examination;

To receive a pension, health workers must have experience:

• when working in rural areas for at least 25 years;
• when working in urban medical institutions for at least 30 years.

For medical workers working in rural or township hospitals and polyclinics, the calculation for receiving early pensions is carried out in proportion to the hours worked: for 1 year of work, 1 year and 3 months are credited to the pension experience.

For doctors: anesthesiologists, resuscitators, surgeons, pathologists, forensic experts, 1 year of work is counted towards pension accruals as 1.5 years.

Important! The time of internship and advanced training courses is not included in the length of service.

Example. The surgeon worked in the city hospital for 22 years. The grace period for such a health worker is: for 1 year worked, 1.5 years are provided for retirement. Consequently, his length of service for obtaining the opportunity for an early exit to a well-deserved rest is calculated: 22 * ​​1.5 \u003d 33 years. With the work experience required in the city for 30 years, this doctor has the right to receive a preferential pension.

Preferential access to a well-deserved rest is provided when working out the period established by law for professions included in lists No. 1 or No. 2. In such situations, employees may qualify for early retirement 5 or 10 years earlier than usual. For registration, you will need documents confirming work in harmful or difficult conditions.

Insurance pension payments are the monetary maintenance of citizens in the form of benefits paid by the state upon reaching a certain age. It replaces the wages of pensioners, they live on this money. Throughout life, a person works. The organization of the place of employment makes contributions to the PF for it. With this money pensions are paid. Old-age pension for men is assigned from 60, and for women from 55 years. However, some citizens have the right to work five years less - they are entitled to a preferential pension.

For some groups of persons, retirement may be even earlier. Early exit to a well-deserved rest is due to certain people, according to special lists of professions and positions. They are approved by the Government of the country.

List of laws

The state of our country takes care of its residents, especially those of retirement age. For this purpose, special laws are issued. There are several regulations that regulate the right of an early exit to a well-deserved rest for Russian citizens:

2. Federal Law No. 426 dated December 28, 2013 “On the assessment of the place of work”;

3. Federal Law No. 173 dated December 17, 2001 “on labor pensions”;

4. Decree No. 10 of 01.26.1991, which contains a special list of privileged professions.

These regulations describe in detail the procedure and amounts of pension benefits.

Every 7th pension is assigned to people ahead of schedule. Now, an early exit to a well-deserved rest is a fairly common phenomenon. The main generalizing characteristics of such a pension are the frequency of payments and the existence of a legal basis. However, not everyone can qualify for the benefit.

Who is eligible for a discounted pension

What is a preferential pension can be determined by studying in detail the legislation "on insurance pensions". Early exit to a well-deserved rest is possible when working in conditions that have a bad effect on the health and working capacity of people. The very degree of harmfulness is determined on the basis of a special assessment of the place of work according to the relevant criteria.

Persons at risk of losing their ability to work or earning occupational diseases are entitled to a preferential pension. The following factors may be the reason:

There are additional signs on the basis of which you can count on a preferential pension:

• the presence of a certain experience;
• duration
• lifelong character;
• paid separately, regardless of the availability of salary.

The main justification for the appointment of an early pension is the presence of work in non-standard conditions. If this criterion is not documented, there is no point in counting on an early exit. Fund specialists will refuse the applicant.

There are several factors that determine who is eligible for a reduced pension. They are established by special regulations.

Who is entitled to a preferential pension

Not every person who has found his position in the lists established by law is entitled to claim a preferential pension. Here it is necessary to take into account not only the name of the profession, but also the sphere of work. Only by comparing these two indicators, it makes sense to count on benefits.

There are two general groups of citizens who are entitled to a preferential pension:

1. People with a special status.
2. Employees who perform certain duties during statutory periods of work.

The first point is much easier to deal with. These are citizens in the status of:

• Mothers who raised 5 or more children. However, there are conditions here too: a woman must raise offspring for at least 8 years. Women must have at least 15 years of experience.
• People with 1 group of visual impairment.
• Guardians of the disabled, with an established disability since childhood.
• People who became disabled after a war injury.
• Workers of the Far North and areas equated to it.

The second point is more extensive. Special regulations establish certain extensive lists of preferential professions for early retirement.

A preferential pension is assigned to citizens who have:

• funded part of the pension;
• citizenship of the Russian Federation;
• registration of the Russian Federation;
• insurance in the country's pension system.

In the absence of at least one of the criteria, a pension cannot be counted.

The accrual of a preferential pension is carried out identically to the usual accrual of a pension. The first thing that is required for early retirement is to figure out how to calculate the benefit period. Having calculated it, you need to find your profession in the list established by law. If the pension benefit period fits the conditions of appointment, the amount of payments is determined by the PF specialist.

To do this, you need to submit the necessary documentation to the authority. At the same time, you should not delay for a long time and it is better to do it in advance. After all, the procedure for obtaining a pension can be delayed and a person will simply lose money for lost time.

Early retirement is granted only when all conditions are fully met. This is especially true with experience. If the general experience, as well as harmfulness, is not developed, early retirement is postponed.

Preferential professions

Decree No. 10 of 01/26/1991 (as amended on 10/02/1991) - establishes specialty lists of privileged professions. Citizens working in these positions use the right of a pensioner earlier than usual. These lists of professions are approved by the authorities and entitle certain categories of citizens to benefits.

Table of positions eligible for early retirement:

Group	Lists of privileged professions
Labor under difficult working conditions	Underground works: mines, mines, tunneling and subways. Let's say miners. Workers engaged in: oil refineries, the manufacture of ammunition, electrical devices, etc. People working in hot shops. Nuclear power workers.
Construction area	Asphalt machinists. Stonemasons, stonemasons. Roof workers. Masters and foremen.
Work harmful to human health	Positions associated with one of the types of vehicles: railway; nautical; aviation; urban. For example, working locomotive crews. food workers and light industry, as well as those engaged in the production of medicines. Mining. Exploration professions.
Other privileged professions	Medics. Paratroopers. Firemen and rescuers. Artists. Lumber workers.

The positions listed in the resolution are divided into only two lists.

To positions according to the first list, periods of work approved by the second list, as well as other periods of work with special conditions, are not added. The exception is the lack of experience in non-standard working conditions.

All of these professions are directly related to harmful working conditions, which is accompanied by a characteristic danger. They can lead to various occupational diseases, as well as complete or partial disability.

Also, according to the Federal Law No. 173 of December 17, 2001, there are still privileged professions in the educational sphere of labor:

• directors and head teachers;
• teachers and educators;
• speech therapists and defectologists;
• psychologists;
• music directors.

In addition to the list of professions, the law approves the lists of educational institutions:

• lyceums, schools;
• schools, cadet corps;
• orphanages, boarding schools;
• nurseries, kindergartens;
• ballet and music schools;
• schools - sanatoriums;
• Suvorov and Nakhimov naval institutions;
• and so on.

Job titles and institutions are subject to change. Eg:

• the category educator means: teachers of kindergartens, schools, aftercare, etc .;
• Gymnasiums include: school - gymnasium and school - lyceum.

The main rule for assigning a preferential pension is an increased degree of psychophysical stress in the education sector.

Thus, the law establishes not only preferential professions, but also institutions and areas of work.

Conditions for early retirement

Individual categories of employees can count on early exit, on a well-deserved rest, under certain conditions:

• The retirement age must correspond to the preferential age approved by law. It may differ depending on the position of the future pensioner.
• Required experience gained.
• There are grace periods.

Accordingly, only citizens who have reached a certain age and who have worked the time established by law in harmful conditions receive benefits for early retirement.

For ease of perception, consider how it works in the form of a pivot table:

When persons from the two lists have worked under non-standard conditions for at least half of the prescribed period and have worked out the full length of service, early retirement is assigned taking into account the reduction in the age for entering a well-deserved rest:

• for the first list - the grace year goes for the year of work;
• for the second list - for men, 1 year is considered 2.5 years; for women, 2 years is considered.

Employees in the field of education have the right to apply for a preferential pension after having worked in the profession for 25 years. Medical personnel must work: in the city - 30 years, in the village - 25 years. Mothers of many children who have raised more than five children must have a total experience of 15 years. Also, workers who have been working in the Far North for at least 20 years will take advantage of this benefit when they reach the preferential retirement age.

Special working conditions

Special working conditions are those associated with deviations from normal conditions. In this case, the normal conditions are considered to be:

• an eight-hour day shift;
• work no more than 40 hours per week;
• work in a remote area;
• normal climatic conditions are present;
• sanitary standards regarding harmful factors are observed;
• and so on.

Accordingly, all conditions with deviations from normal norms can be attributed to special working conditions.

A preferential pension is due to workers involved in industries with special working conditions. According to the harmfulness and danger of labor, they are divided into 4 classes:

If no deviations in hazard are detected at the workplace, the employer submits data on their absence to work. inspection.

If deviations are identified, other amounts of insurance premiums in the PF are established, which are paid by the organization.

Evaluation of the workplace is carried out by the employer and a special organization. To do this, a commission is created. This is where the safety department should be involved. The purpose of the assessment is to determine the hazards for a person working in a particular place.

It is necessary to distinguish between special and harmful working conditions. The former include professions that do not have harmful factors. For example, work in the North. This is where distance plays an important role. Harmful working conditions are directly related to factors that negatively affect human health. This could be, for example, working with chemotherapy equipment.

Working in the Far North

Almost half of our country belongs to the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them. Accordingly, a huge part of the Russian population works in difficult conditions. The experience of such work is calculated separately and with certain features.

To get the right to take a well-deserved rest ahead of time, you need to work out:

• 15 years in the Far North;
• 20 years in areas equated to areas of the far north.

This rule has been unchanged for many years and is identical for the representatives of the stronger and fairer sex. Citizens, workers in the north have the right to apply for early retirement from the age of 55 - men and 50 years - women. In other words, they can exit using the benefit up to five years earlier than ordinary working citizens.

At the same time, the total work experience of an applicant for early retirement must be:

• for women - 20 years;
• for men - 25 years.

Having work experience in the North, you can go on a well-deserved rest earlier, even if it has not been fully worked out. When it is less than 15, but more than 7, 5 years are also entitled to a preferential pension, which is assigned according to the scheme: each northern year reduces the retirement age by 4 months.

When determining the northern experience, only full-time work is taken into account. When a person works in several companies, he will have to document the development of a complete norm. The exception is the shift method. With this option, even the period of travel from home to the place of work is included in the length of service. However, such an opportunity is given only with the full development of the norm for the year.

The following periods are not included in the work experience in the north:

• Continuing education for six months.
• Holidays at your own expense.
• Caring for a child up to 3 years.
• The period of official status of unemployed.

The northern pension is assigned taking into account various coefficients, which is a great advantage for the workers of the north. This indicator significantly increases the level of pensions. Respectively, northern pension provides not only an early exit, but also a high monthly payment.

Calculation of seniority for a preferential pension for doctors

Medical personnel working in certain positions and institutions, the lists of which are established by law, can also count on early well-deserved rest. The calculation of the length of service for doctors depends on the length of service by profession:

• in cities - 30 years;
• in the villages - 25 years.

Twelve months of work of a medical worker is equal to a year of experience. However, this only applies to cities. For physicians of settlements, a year goes for 1, 3 length of service. And in the performance of official duties in certain professions 1.5 years.

Personnel involved in both public and private clinics can count on early well-deserved rest. All physicians with preferential calculation length of service when applying for a pension are listed in list No. 2 of the relevant government decree. These are medical workers employed in tuberculosis and infectious diseases hospitals, chemotherapy rooms, as well as psychiatric clinics. In other words, employees who directly risk their health and ability to work.

Preferential pension for teachers

The law allows workers in the educational system to retire early. Only, the experience in the profession must be at least 25 years.

The list of preferential positions in the field of education is approved by Federal Law No. 173. Also here is a list of preferential educational institutions.

Therefore, before making pension benefit, you need to pay attention to the place of work. Sometimes, they fall under the benefit by profession, but do not fall into the institution. Both conditions must be met.

Basic conditions:

• at least 25 years of experience;
• full time work;
• payment of PF contributions by the employer;
• not included in the experience of caring for a baby over 1.5 years.

Teachers working in secondary vocational institutions must work out a norm of 360 hours per year. Only this rule applies exclusively to urban teachers. For calculating the pension of rural teachers, this indicator does not play a role.

The pension is always calculated individually. However, payments cannot be less than 40% of the teacher's average salary.

How to calculate the benefit pension

The calculation of a preferential pension is no different from the standard calculation of a simple pension. The calculation formula is the same in both cases. The amount of a preferential pension directly depends on the number of points accumulated by the beneficiary.

All deductions from the fund for an employee are automatically converted into points according to the formula:

B = (PO per year / NPO per year) × 10, where

B- score;

software- pension contributions;

NGOs- rate of pension contributions.

The formula for calculating the pension is the same for all pensioners:

P = OB × SKP + F, where

P- the size of the pension;

ABOUT- the total number of points of the pensioner;

SKP- the cost of KP, from February 1, 2017, is 78.28 rubles;

F- a fixed payment, now, is 4,805 rubles 11 kopecks.

Consider how the pension will be calculated on specific example. Suppose a person has earned 80 points. Based on the pre-calculated scores and substituting the necessary indicators, we get:

P \u003d 80 × 78, 28 + 4,805, 11 \u003d 11,067 rubles 51 kopecks.

Accordingly, the amount of the insurance pension is equal to 11067, 11 rubles.

The pension of each pensioner is calculated individually, according to certain indicators, criteria and coefficients. Also, the scores that a person has earned for the entire period of his work have a big role.

Registration procedure

When a person is sure that he is entitled to early retirement, he needs to contact the Pension Fund at the place permanent residence. It is recommended to do this three months before retirement.

If a citizen works at the onset of retirement age, he has the right to continue working or terminate the employment contract without working for two weeks.

There are several main steps in how to apply for a preferential pension:

1. It is necessary to collect the required documentation. It is recommended to start doing this in advance and approach this stage with special care. The main documents for applying for a preferential pension:

• passport;
• employment history;
• income statement for any 5 years;
• details for transferring pensions;
• SNILS;
• application for processing.

Also, when applying for a preferential pension, a list of documents confirming the right to early retirement is required. For example, what additional documents are needed:

• certificate confirming the harmfulness of production;
• certificate of disability;
• other papers evidencing preferential rights.

In order to complete the registration of a pension in time, it is better to go to the fund in advance and clarify what documents are needed to receive a preferential pension. PF specialists may request other documents depending on the situation.

2. Direct delivery of a package of papers to PF specialists. Fund employees carefully study the applicant's work book. If inaccuracies or errors are found in it, the applicant may be asked for a personal account from the place of work or an account card from the personnel department. It is in order not to lose time that it is recommended to approach the stage of collecting documentation with more care.

If the pensioner manages to collect and submit the required documentation ahead of schedule, the pension is paid from the day the retirement age is reached. Otherwise, accruals will be made from the moment the documents are accepted.

Therefore, the law allows you to apply to the fund for the appointment of a preferential pension in advance. The fund's specialists will accept papers and form a layout of the pensioner's case. As soon as the time comes for the appointment of a pension, the case will be taken into circulation.

3. Pension Fund specialists consider the pensioner's application within 10 days. After that, a decision is made on the appointment of pension payments or refusal.

If it is not possible to document the length of service in hazardous professions, early retirement will not work. Any pension, including preferential, is transferred in the current month.

Fund specialists have the right to refuse the applicant in the appointment of an early pension for the following reasons:

• length of service is not documented;
• the position in the work book does not comply with legislative acts;
• the fact of working at a particular enterprise cannot be confirmed.

If the applicant does not agree with the decision of the PF, he has the right to appeal it through the courts. It is only recommended to do this only if there are good reasons.

Now there is an opportunity to apply for early retirement electronically. For this purpose, it is required to register a personal account on the official website of the fund.

There are two ways to receive retirement benefits:

• mail;
• to a bank account or card.

Which of them to use, the pensioner has the right to decide independently. The main thing in the application is to indicate the details for the transfer of funds. At any time, the applicant has the right to change the method of receiving a pension.

To do this, he needs to contact the specialists of the fund with the appropriate application.

A preferential pension, like a simple one, is paid in advance. Suppose a pensioner receives a payment for March at the beginning of the month.

Types of sizes and rules for receiving pension supplements

The first task of the state is social protection population of Russia. Pension provision not always enough for people. Accordingly, the legislation approved some items related to additional payments and allowances for monthly payments.

In other words, apart from regular pension a person is entitled to claim some additional payments to it. They will be paid together with the basic pension, as it assigns PF allowances based on the submitted documentation and the corresponding application.

Suppose that in Moscow there is a well-known "Luzhkovskaya" allowance for pensioners who do not have official employment.

In general, there are three types of federal surcharges and allowances paid to all pensioners, including beneficiaries:

Type of allowance	Description
to the insurance part of the pension	After reaching the age of 80, an additional allowance is assigned. For postponing retirement, a person additionally accumulates points that can then be used additionally. For disabled people of the 1st group, a certain percentage of the fixed rate is added. For dependents, if the pensioner contains a minor citizen. Inhabitants of the Far North.
social benefits	For veterans of the Great Patriotic War and besieged Leningrad. Junior military personnel for injury or disability. With the loss of the breadwinner of a military citizen. In the presence of state experience, 3% is added for each year of work. and so on.
for athletes and military personnel	WWII participants. Disabled since childhood WWII. Heroes of the Russian Federation and the USSR. Prisoners of concentration camps. Olympic champions. and so on.

If a person is entitled to an allowance immediately, upon retirement, all documents are processed simultaneously. You don't have to go to the fund. However, legislation often changes and new types of surcharges and allowances are introduced. In such cases, you need to specifically go to the fund and make a payment. So, for example, a surcharge for women pensioners for each child born has recently been introduced.

Specific conditions for the appointment of surcharges and their types are recommended to be specified in the Pension Fund at the place of residence.

To assign most of the above allowances, the following conditions must be met:

• lack of formal employment;
• the amount of a fixed pension is below the subsistence level.

When assigning any type of additional payments, fund employees calculate the applicant's actual work experience.

After accepting the documents for the benefit, the fund's specialists must check the availability of the pensioner's official income.

If the applicant has the title of labor veteran, he has the right to independently decide:

• receive a social package in the form of services;
• replace the social security for a fixed monthly payment.

List of documentation required for the assignment of surcharges:

• passport;
• employment history;
• SNILS;
• certificate from the labor exchange about the lack of benefits.

There are also additional documents that you may need:

• certificate of disability - if any;
• birth certificates of children - for mothers with many children;
• veteran's certificate;
• the conclusion of the medical commission on the receipt of a military injury.

To assign surcharges, fund specialists may request additional documentation. A pensioner may be denied an additional payment. Then, he should be sent a written refusal, with a justification of the reason.

If the reason for the refusal is an incorrectly assembled documentation package or an application filled out with errors, you can make adjustments and submit documents for an additional payment again. You cannot receive an allowance if the basic conditions for granting it are not met. The amount of allowances is set individually, depending on the specific situation.

When a person has various types of preferential seniority for early retirement, it is recommended to get advice from PF specialists. Only a specialist will be able to correctly explain which benefit is better and more profitable to use. You may have to bring additional papers, which only a fund specialist will also tell about.
