List of documents for a serviceman applying for a military pension?

Conditions of appointment

Registration of a pension for military personnel is carried out if there are grounds:

1. Length of service (the number of years of service specified in the law in the armed forces). People apply for a pension if they have more than 20 years of military service, or more than 25 years , but on the condition that 12.5 years in military service.
2. Loss of a breadwinner serving in the Armed Forces. A pension is assigned upon his death if the person has dependents who are unable to work.
3. Disability caused by a disease acquired during military service, including injuries. People apply for a pension in case of disability, which is divided into 3 groups depending on the severity of the disease. Social and medical examination bodies are authorized to decide which disability group to assign to a particular person.

Pension amount

The most common type of pension for employees is service. Currently, it is enough to accumulate 20 years of experience to retire to the reserve. If you cannot collect that many years, you can retire when you reach 45 years of age. But at the same time, the total work experience should not be less than 25 years, of which half should be in service in the Armed Forces or government departments equivalent to the army.

Military allowances

Employees' pensions, calculated in monetary terms, consist of different parts:

• salary corresponding to the position held;
• salary, which is provided for a special or ordinary military rank (with the exception of promotions that a citizen undergoes in special conditions or areas);
• percentage or monthly bonus for length of military service;
• payments during indexation of monetary allowance.

Conditions for increasing the amount of payments

To qualify for increased government payments, individuals must meet the following criteria:

• Citizens who were injured leading to disability as a result of participating in hostilities. They can expect a monthly income increase of up to 300%.
• Disabled people of the Second World War. Citizens who received an award for living in Leningrad during the siege and who have a disability group. This group of individuals will receive an increased pension from 100% to 250%.
• Have the status of participants in the Second World War, veterans who served in combat, are residents of besieged Leningrad (you must have the appropriate awards), prisoners of concentration camps, citizens who received a disability group as a result of hostilities. These categories can expect a 32% increase.
• Russian citizens who have served for 6 months or more in the Armed Forces, who worked during the Second World War, who have awards for impeccable service or selfless work for the good of their homeland, individuals who are victims of political repression, after rehabilitation. Such citizens can count on an increase in pensions by 16%.
• Other categories (for example, military personnel who served under contract), included in the list by the relevant regulatory act, will receive more (from 15 to 100%).

If Russian citizens have been repeatedly awarded the title of Hero (of the Soviet Union, Labor of the Russian Federation or Socialist), then the increase in pension benefits will be carried out separately for each title.

Indexation of pensions in 2020

Over the past few years, there have been discussions regarding the need to increase government payments to the military. Last year, the Government indexed such incomes, thanks to which they increased by 4%. Another increase in pay is planned for 2020, so employees of the Reserve Armed Forces should expect an increase of 4.3% from October. But, due to the ongoing inflation in the country, the real increase in government payments will occur by only 1.08%.

Minimum size

Expert opinion Lebedev Sergey Fedorovich Legal practitioner with 7 years of experience. Specialization: civil law. Extensive experience in defense in court.

If a Russian citizen received a disability during his service, then length of service will not be taken into account when calculating the state payment. In this case, the amount of allowance will be a maximum of 85% of average earnings (the disability group will matter).

Military personnel who have retired due to length of service are entitled to the following types of additional payments:

• An individual who has worked in excess of the minimum length of service (has a net length of service) will receive a bonus of 3% for each additional year of service. Ultimately, the amount of the pension payment cannot be more than 85% of the amount of earnings.
• If a citizen has mixed experience, then for each extra year of service he will be paid a bonus of 1%.
• Individuals who have retired to the reserves must receive cash subsidies from the state for their dependents. To do this, it is necessary to submit to the authorized body a package of documents confirming the existence of dependent persons of the retired military personnel. It is worth noting that financial support is provided to individuals with no more than three dependents.
• Russian citizens who served in the Far North can count on benefits. When calculating length of service, they will receive double the amount of northern experience. For example, 10 years of service will be counted as 20 years of military service.

If a citizen is included in the category of employees of the Armed Forces who are entitled to additional payments by law, he can apply for them both when state payments are assigned and after.

Deadlines for consideration and appointment

2. If not all documents are collected, within three months , thus, the pension is assigned from the date of the initial application.
3. If a person does not manage to meet the three-month deadline, then it begins to be calculated from the day when all the required documents are provided. Article 53 of the above-mentioned law (No. 4468-1 of 1993) defines pension date:
   disability – from the moment a person is recognized as such;
4. upon dismissal from the Armed Forces - from the date of this event;
5. in case of loss of a breadwinner - from the date of death, or from the date of acquisition of this right;
6. in case of loss of source of income by the relatives of the serviceman (spouse, parents) - from the date of application.

Deadlines for granting pensions

The legislation defines the deadlines for establishing pensions for military personnel and persons equivalent to them. This is reflected in Law No. 4468-1 of 1993.

• From the date of transfer to the reserve - according to length of service;

• From the day of the death of a military man, his recognition as missing, dead - due to the loss of a breadwinner;

Ksenia Ch. turned to a lawyer for help. The woman reported that her military husband died when she was 2 months pregnant. She was interested in whether it was possible to get a survivor’s pension for a child when he was born. The lawyer said that since the child is a disabled member of the family of a deceased military man, he should be entitled to a survivor's pension from the moment of birth. To complete it, you need to collect documents and send them to the military registration and enlistment office at your place of residence.

Second pension upon reaching the age limit

Most of the citizens who retired from military service continue to work. In this situation, according to the law, employers are required to pay insurance premiums for them. Thus, employees who are former military personnel have the opportunity to obtain security through the Pension Fund.

But a second pension can be assigned to a citizen only if certain conditions are met . In particular, they include the following concepts:

1. Experience _ It is necessary to have insurance experience in organizations that are not related to the military departments. In 2107, the minimum length of service is 8 years .
2. Age . For representatives of the stronger sex - 60 years old , for ladies - 55 . If the pension was assigned early in compliance with the conditions specified in the law, the pension payment is established earlier than the age limits specified above.
3. Points . In 2107, the IPC (individual pension coefficient) was equal to 11.4 . By analogy with experience, the IPC will increase until it reaches a coefficient of 30 by 2025.
4. Availability of the right to a pension from the military departments.

To exercise a person’s right to a second pension, he must provide the following documents to the Pension Fund:

• passport;
• SNILS;
• pensioner's certificate;
• employment history;
• bank details for transferring payment;
• a certificate from the commissariat about the time of service, which will be taken into account when calculating military pensions.

Minimum military pension

The exact amount of the minimum payment is not provided by law. Exact figures are generally not applicable at the legislative level, since inflation often outstrips legislation. The minimum amounts of certain payments, as a rule, are “tied” to indexed indicators, such as the minimum wage, the cost of living, and others. In the case of military pensions, this indicator is the basic social benefit. In 2020, its size is slightly more than 5,000 rubles.

According to the law, the minimum military pensions are:

• For length of service and mixed experience - 100% of the basic social payment
• For disability – 150 – 300% of the basic social payment
• For the loss of a breadwinner 150-200% of the basic social benefit

Payment and delivery

Former military personnel can receive a pension in various ways (through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, as well as other law enforcement agencies):

1. Transfer to an account in a banking organization. This is one of the most common methods. The bank attaches a bank card to the account and activates the SMS notification service that a certain amount of money has been credited to the account balance. The person will be notified via SMS notification that a pension has been deposited into his account.
2. By mail . Depending on the pensioner’s choice, the payment can be delivered to their home, or the money can be located at the post office, which is attached to the place of registration of the pensioner. The date of accrual of the pension and its delivery may differ in time: the pensioner should know about this in order to avoid misunderstandings.

The law allows a third party to receive a pension, but only if a power of attorney for this action is issued by the pensioner.

How to get a military pension

When we talk about military pensions, we often mean payments for long service. Everyone understands the following: the specifics of military service are such that any citizen serving in the army is directly bound by large obligations that entail considerable risk to his life. Only the military can clearly understand how dangerous and difficult service can be at times.

This is interesting: Calculation of long-service pensions for civil servants 2020

Ordinary life does not allow an ordinary citizen to look behind the curtain of military secrets. But you can imagine what military personnel experience from films and eyewitness accounts. Therefore, the pension that must be paid to military personnel differs significantly from other types of pension provision. In addition, its design promises considerable trouble.

Types of pension payments for the military

“Military pension” is the general name for pension provision provided through the Ministry of Defense and other departments included in the list given in the previous section. In practice, there are three types of such pensions. They are paid on different bases and differ in the amount, timing of payments, and features of receipt:

• A long-service pension is the main form of pension for people who have dedicated their lives to military service or work in other law enforcement agencies. The right to it ensures the required length of service.
• Health pension. It is received by people who did not have time to serve their required term due to deteriorating health or even complete loss of ability to work. It is assigned both to people who were injured directly during service (trauma, serious injury), and during off-duty time, but due to service (occupational disease). The right to it is confirmed by a medical commission.
• Survivor's pension. This pension is paid to the families of employees who die in the line of duty. The right to it is given by the fact that the employee died directly at the scene of the events or his death in the near future as a result of injuries received.

Who is entitled to a military pension?

It is quite logical that both the military personnel themselves who served in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and their widows (there are exceptions and payments are due to the widower) of military personnel in the event of their premature death by air defense while on duty can count on such state support and provision.

In addition, especially dangerous work performed by a military personnel in order to prevent accidents at nuclear power plants, as well as service on ships and other dangerous types of military service can be taken into account.

What are military pensions like?

The legislation establishes several types of military pensions for military personnel of the Russian army.

These include:

1. Pension for long service;

2. Disability pension;

3. A pension that is assigned to family members of a person liable for military service in the event of his premature death.

Briefly about the main thing

Before thinking about applying for a military pension, it is worth considering an important point - you need to register with the commissariat in whose territory the serviceman lives.

To complete this procedure, you will need to prepare a certain package of documents.

Namely:

·A passport with confirmation of registration is required;

·A prescription will be required;

·You will need to have a personal file;

· If it is by courier, he will demand to present a token (or at least a personal number);

· You will be required to provide a military ID or other identification that will contain accompanying notes that the serviceman served, surrendered his weapons, and was discharged.

All available records must be certified by the relevant official, his signature, as well as his seal.

How to apply for a pension at the military registration and enlistment office?

As soon as the required documents for registration with the military registration and enlistment office have been collected, and the event itself has taken place, it is necessary to draw up a written application for a military pension. To apply for it at the military registration and enlistment office, you will need to provide the following documents:

· Of course, first of all, it will be a passport (the original, as well as a certified copy by a notary of all its significant pages);

·Secondly, this will be a military serviceman’s ID with a mark of military registration;

· Thirdly, it will be a monetary and material certificate (make sure that all dates of dismissals, deferments, and provision of benefits coincide in the documents);

· Fourthly, it will be a 3x4 matte photograph in a single copy;

· Fifthly - it will be SNILS;

· Sixthly, this will be a work record book.

Other documents may be required that confirm the special conditions of military service. It’s better to take them with you as well. In addition, you should definitely take a certificate from the Pension Fund in advance that the former military man there does not receive a pension. If a military man has ever changed his last name or first name, he should also inform the military registration and enlistment office about this.

To obtain a certificate, a serviceman should go to the accounting department at his place of service with a written application for its issuance. Let us note that recently a cash certificate has not been issued in person, but is sent to the military registration and enlistment office at the place of registration of the serviceman.

Registration deadlines

You should know that the registration of a pension begins from the moment the military registration and enlistment office receives the military personnel’s monetary certificate. From this moment, about three months are counted and the first pension is awarded to the military man.

Pension Fund and military pension.

It is quite acceptable to apply for a military pension at the regular PRF department at your place of registration. Only here, along with the standard set of documents, you will also need to attach a certificate of the amount of average monthly earnings accrued over the last five years. It is issued by the government agencies in which the military man served.

How can a widow receive a pension?

To apply for a survivor's pension for a widow, you will need to fill out an application for a military pension, as well as provide a copy of your marriage certificate, or a document that confirms close family ties. In this case, you will also need to calculate the length of service of the military man. You will need to provide a photocopy of the death certificate. The package of documents will also include an extract on the exclusion of the serviceman from the troops in connection with his death and a medical report on the causes of his death.

The widow will need to obtain a certificate of non-receipt of a military pension, or termination of payments from the Pension Fund. You will also need to present copies of certificates for receiving benefits, a monetary certificate, and an agreement that will allow the processing of personal data.

You can start applying for a military pension at the Pension Fund or at the place of your last military service. There is no point in delaying after you are fired. Since this process has a legal period. After dismissal, this will need to be done within ten days.

What pensions do military retirees receive?

Military personnel do not receive a pension through the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR); in their case, pension provision goes through the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation. Depending on the circumstances, modern pension legislation distinguishes three types of payments under this line:

• for length of service;
• in case of loss of a breadwinner;
• on disability.

All types of pensions have their own conditions for assignment and registration procedure, described in the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1. This law is the main document. regulating pension provision for persons serving in the army and carrying out other activities equated (in matters of pension provision) to military activity.

Separately, it is worth noting citizens who became disabled during conscription service: they, formally being military personnel or recently discharged military personnel, receive a state disability pension in accordance with Federal Law of December 15, 2001 N 166-FZ.

Such payments to conscripts are made through the Russian Pension Fund and are based on the general principles of assigning state (social) pensions.

Military pension for long service

According to the Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1, citizens who have a certain length of service in military service have the right to receive payments for length of service through the Ministry of Defense. Length of service in the case of employees in the army, police, etc. - this is, in fact, length of service in military (or other equivalent to military) service. This concept was invented simply for the convenience of differentiating pensions - length of service is a special type of length of service that applies specifically to military pension payments. In order for a serviceman to qualify for this type of pension, he must meet one of two requirements defined in the above law and listed below:

• his service must be more than 20 years;
• the total length of service (military service and civilian work) must be at least 25 years, and the length of service out of these 25 years cannot be less than 12 and a half years.

In case of re-entry into service and subsequent dismissal from it, the amount of payments will be determined by length of service and total length of service at the time of the last dismissal.

Military disability pension

Since service in the armed forces involves a great risk to health and life, the law provides for retirement due to the acquisition of disability. Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1 regulates the conditions under which a military serviceman is entitled to this type of pension:

• disability must occur during military service or within three months after discharge from it;
• the establishment of disability may occur later, but as a result of an illness acquired during service.

At the same time, military disabled people are divided into two categories, which differ from each other in the amount of payments:

• citizens who, while serving, received a disability, but the disease that is its cause is not related to the direct performance of official duties;
• persons who became disabled during military operations, combat operations and other cases where the disease or injury causing disability was associated with the performance of duty.

Registration of a military pension

The determination of pensions for military personnel differs from the determination of pension payments for civilians.

Pensions for military pensioners are established provided that the citizen is registered with the commissariat at his place of residence.

After leaving service, a serviceman can continue to work in civilian life, and if the requirements of the law are met, he has the right to receive an insurance pension payment . At the same time, the payment of military pension will not be stopped .

Conditions for assigning pensions to military personnel

A serviceman can apply for the establishment of a military pension upon acquiring the rights to it. These are:

• length of service (required number of years in service in law enforcement agencies);
• loss of a breadwinner who was a military man;
• establishment of disability (due to a disease acquired in service or due to a military injury).

Who is eligible

There is a misconception in society that every employee in these structures has the right to lifelong security. But this is not entirely true; there are cases when a person does not meet the criteria for appointment.

The entire procedure for appointment, criteria, additional payments, calculation and other issues are regulated by the current legislation of the Russian Federation, in particular the Federal Law of the Russian Federation “On Military Pensions”.

Existing categories of those who can necessarily apply for P:

• Citizens leaving service after having a full 20 years of experience in departmental structures;
• Subjects who, according to current legislation, already have a maximum permissible age for military service - 45 years, who have a total length of service of 25, but of which more than 12.5 are employed in the military industry;
• Citizens who were dismissed for health reasons or other valid reasons, also having a total length of service of 25, of which 12.5 are in the relevant industry.

As a result, P. is appointed subject to length of service. But at the same time, there is an amendment that allows persons with insufficient experience to apply for the opportunity to receive P., and its amount will be determined in proportion to the experience.

In addition to this criterion, many are concerned about the question of what can be equated to such a service. There is a list of such departments that are subordinate to Ministries, etc., service in which is equivalent to military service.

Work in the following structures allows you to qualify for P for length of service:

• Ministry of Internal Affairs;
• Federal Security Service;
• Ministry of Emergency Situations;
• Corps of Engineers,
• Foreign intelligence;
• Other

If we talk about the fact when a person receives the official right to receive payment, then this is only the fact of dismissal from competent structures and retirement. Otherwise, if a person refuses to retire and wants to continue his career, for example, under a contract, then, accordingly, he loses this right. That's all.

The procedure for registering a military personnel pension after dismissal

Before applying for a military pension, it is worth considering a very important point - the serviceman will have to register with the commissariat at his place of residence. a monetary certificate from the place of service (since 2014 it has been sent to the military registration and enlistment office) and receive a certificate from the Pension Fund stating that insurance premiums were not paid for it.

This is interesting: Pension for disability and military injury 2020

After completing the above steps, you should contact the military registration and enlistment office with an application and a complete package of documents to establish a pension payment.

The same applies to ordinary pensioners when military personnel receive pension benefits. The totality of all bureaucratic procedures takes 2-3 months and depends on how quickly the serviceman receives his monetary certificate.

Where do you apply for a military pension?

Pension payments to military personnel come from the budget of the body where they served, for example: the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Federal Penitentiary Service, the Federal Security Service.

Providing pensions for a citizen discharged from military service, family members of a deceased (deceased) serviceman, establishing military benefits for these citizens and making other payments is the responsibility of the military commissariat (Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of December 7, 2012 No. 1609 “On approval of the Regulations on military commissariats”) .

A conscript soldier who has received a disability, or his relatives, in case of applying for payment, must provide documents to the territorial bodies of the Russian Pension Fund .

What documents are needed to apply for a military pension?

To obtain support, a serviceman must submit a fairly voluminous package of documents :

1. passport of a citizen of the Russian Federation;
2. military ID, which contains a mark on completion of service and dismissal;
3. prescription of the military unit in which the military man served as assigned by order;
4. clothing and monetary certificate;
5. SNILS;
6. personal file from the archives of a military unit;
7. photograph of the established sample;
8. certificate from the Pension Fund;
9. employment history.

Other documents confirming the special conditions of military service (if any, they must be carried with you when applying for a pension). If a military man has ever changed his first or last name, then this must also be reported to the military registration and enlistment office.

Deadline for reviewing documents and assigning payments

When applying for a pension payment, regardless of whether it is an insurance pension, state pension or military pension, a very important concept is the day you apply for this payment. In general, the day of application is the date of submission of the application for the establishment of a pension to the pension authority along with a package of necessary documents.

If a citizen has not provided all the documents that are necessary, he has another 3 months from the date of application to submit a complete set of papers. In this case, the appointment occurs from the date of application. If the applicant does not meet this deadline, then payment is assigned when all required documents .

Pension authorities consider the application within ten days from the date of application, or from the moment the complete package of papers is submitted.

• if a military person is diagnosed with a disability - from the moment he is recognized as disabled;
• upon dismissal from military service - from the date of dismissal;
• in the event of the loss of a breadwinner - from the date of his death, or from the date of acquisition of the corresponding pension right;
• in case of loss of sources of income to the parents or spouse of a serviceman - from the date of application.

If a citizen’s application for payment was untimely, then for the past time it is assigned from the moment the right to it becomes available, but no more than 12 months from the date of application.

Assignment and payment of pensions

Based on the differences between “civilian” and military pensions, it can be assumed that the procedure for assigning payments to military personnel differs from social or insurance pensions. There are differences from the very beginning: instead of the territorial body of the Russian Pension Fund, citizens will need to contact the pension departments of the military commissariats at their place of residence. It is logical to assume that the documents required to apply for a pension will differ - in some cases significantly, in others not so much.

The payment process here is somewhat simpler - there are no fundamental differences from “civilian” types of pensions.

Registration and necessary documents

Law of the Russian Federation of February 12, 1993 N 4468-1 determines the procedure for processing and preparing documents for the assignment of pensions through law enforcement agencies, including for military personnel.

In general, in order to apply for a pension, a citizen must:

• register with the military commissariat at your place of residence;
• submit an application for the appropriate type of pension by presenting a certain package of documents.

After registration, you need to collect all the necessary papers confirming your right to a military pension. Below is a list of the most common documents:

1. passport;
2. military ID or other document with which the citizen registered for military service;
3. a certificate from the Pension Fund of Russia stating that the citizen does not receive any other type of pension (and if received legally, documents confirming these grounds);
4. documents confirming work experience - work book, contracts, etc. (if the pension is assigned on a cumulative basis);
5. death certificate of a serviceman, if members of his family are legally entitled to a survivor's pension;
6. a certificate of disability issued by medical and social examination bodies, as well as the conclusion of a military medical commission, in the case of a disability pension.

Pension authorities have the right to request only those documents that are not held by municipal and other services. Otherwise, if employees of pension departments have the authority to request the necessary documents themselves, they cannot oblige the citizen to provide these documents in person.

Payment of military pension

According to the current legislation, pension authorities consider an application for a pension within 10 days from the date of submission of the application (the so-called day of application), or if not everything that is required is provided, from the moment the full package of documents is submitted, from the moment the pension department receives everything necessary.

In this case, the assignment of a pension occurs from the date of application (but not earlier than the right to this type of payment has arisen), or, if the 3-month period for supplementing the package of documents has been missed, from the date of submission of everything necessary.

The procedure for paying a military pension, as mentioned above, is not too different from other types of pension payments. There are basic rules here that exist in both military, social and insurance pensions:

• payment is made through the Russian Post office at the pensioner’s place of residence (in this case, it can be brought to the house, or the citizen himself will pick it up at the post office), or by bank transfer to an account in Sberbank (in this case, the citizen can issue a card and withdraw from it pension, pay for services, etc. through ATMs or Sberbank branches);
• if the pensioner himself cannot withdraw money (for some reason - health status, hospitalization or some trivial conditions), he can give a power of attorney to a third party. Then the authorized person comes to receive the payment with his passport, details (if necessary), a power of attorney and a photocopy of the pensioner’s passport.

Second (insurance) pension for military personnel upon reaching 60 years of age

Quite often, military pensioners who receive payments from law enforcement agencies continue to work in civilian life after leaving service. In this situation, employers pay insurance premiums for them, which is why the former military man, subject to certain conditions, has the opportunity to apply for security through the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation .

To establish a second pension, the following requirements must be simultaneously met:

• Experience. It is necessary to have insurance experience in civil organizations; in 2020 it is 10 years, and will gradually increase until it reaches 15 years by 2024.
• Age. For men it is 60 years, for women - 55 years. However, if the conditions for early appointment are met, the pension payment may be established earlier than the generally established age.
• Points. In 2020, the individual pension coefficient (IPC) should be equal to 16.2. Like length of service, the IPC will increase until it reaches 30 by 2025.
• Pension. Availability of pensions from law enforcement agencies.

You should know that military pensioners receive pension insurance without taking into account a fixed payment.

Payment and delivery of pensions to military pensioners

Persons who have received pension benefits through the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and other structures can receive it in the following ways:

1. By transfer to a bank account . Nowadays, the most common method: most often, a bank card is immediately attached to the account, and SMS notifications about changes in the balance on it are connected, so that when a pensioner receives a message from the bank, he will immediately know that he has received a pension.
2. Via Russian Post . Depending on the pensioner’s choice, the payment can be received either at home or at the post office itself. Here it is worth considering that the delivery time via mail and the date of accrual of pension payments may differ, and in order to avoid misunderstandings and unpleasant situations, the pensioner must take this into account in advance.
3. The legislation provides for the possibility of a third party if a corresponding power of attorney has been issued to him by the pensioner.

Deadlines for receiving payments by military pensioners

When asking questions about the timing of military pensions, people may have two things in mind:

• How long will it take to complete it?
• How long will it be paid?

We will answer both.

The period for reviewing documents at the military registration and enlistment office or Pension Fund is 10 days from the date of filing the application. The applicant will then be notified of the result, which may be positive or negative.

If the result is positive, the process of receiving a military pension can be considered completed. Negative decisions are most often associated with the lack of necessary supporting documents. The applicant is sent a list of documents that he needs to provide in order for the decision to be positive.

In this case, the period for obtaining a pension will depend on how quickly the potential pensioner can obtain the missing documents. If difficulties arise with this, the period for granting a pension may extend for several months.

The final terms for receiving a military pension may vary depending on the reason for receiving it:

• Military pensions for length of service and mixed service are assigned for life
• Military disability pensions will remain relevant as long as a medical commission continues to confirm the fact that a person has a disability. In most cases, disability pensions are also for life, but if the citizen has successfully completed rehabilitation and completely recovered from the consequences of injury or illness, the pension will be cancelled. If his disability group is lowered, his pension will also be reduced accordingly.
• The length of time to receive military survivors' pensions depends on who receives them. Disabled parents will receive a pension for life. Minor children - until adulthood. Non-working wife - until employment or remarriage. If a minor child receiving a survivor's pension becomes disabled and applies for a disability pension, he will lose the right to a military pension.

I am a military pensioner. I receive benefits based on my length of service. Will this payment continue if I now get a job at a government agency (in my case, St. Petersburg University)?

Payment of pensions through law enforcement agencies will be suspended if you re-enter service in the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the Ministry of Defense, the Federal Penitentiary Service, etc. In other cases, it will continue to be paid.

Hello! A certificate of assignment of a military pension is required to establish an insurance pension. Which agency issues it?

You should contact the military commissariat where you are registered.

Civil pensioners, in accordance with the law, through the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation receive pensions and additional payments to it with a breakdown of all components. Why doesn't the law apply to me as a military retiree? The Military Commissariat of the Moscow Region refuses to provide me with a transcript of all components of my pension and additional payments to it (additional payments and cash compensations of 6 items) through the city’s cash payment delivery department, through the Russian Post. The law must be the same for everyone - both civilian and military pensioners! Thank you.

Good evening.

• Disability group I
• Living in the Far North or working there for at least 9 years

Registration of a second military pension: what documents are needed

Military pensions are assigned in a manner different from the rules for registering insurance pensions.

They are issued by those government agencies in which the pensioner served, and not by the Pension Fund of Russia. Military pensions are regulated by legislative act No. 4468 of February 12, 1993.

Stages of obtaining a basic military pension

The procedure for assigning pensions to military personnel is divided into 2 stages: preparatory and basic. At the preparatory stage, it is required to register with the military registration and enlistment office at the registration address. After this, the pensioner can apply for pension benefits.

List of documents

To register with the military registration and enlistment office, a former serviceman will need the following papers:

• a passport containing a registration mark;
• prescription;
• personal file of a pensioner;
• military ID. If it is missing, you will need to present another document that confirms the fact of military service, surrender of weapons and ammunition, or leaving the army.

At stage 2, the applicant, in addition to the application for payments, will need:

• passport and its photocopies, certified by a notary office employee;
• military ID, which contains a record of registration;
• monetary and clothing certificates. Today it is impossible to obtain a monetary certificate; government agencies themselves send it to the required institution;
• passport size photograph;
• SNILS;
• employment history;
• an extract from the Pension Fund of Russia, which confirms that the army employee did not apply for a pension there.

Registration of a second pension for the military - nuances

Having reached the appropriate age, former military personnel have the right to apply for a 2nd pension. In 2020, this will require a minimum of ten years of experience and a total coefficient of at least 16.2.

Unlike the calculation for ordinary citizens who receive an old-age insurance pension, when calculating the insurance pension for the military, the fixed part is not taken into account. The minimum that a former military personnel can receive from the Pension Fund is 1,413.29 rubles.

To start receiving a 2nd pension, a former army employee must meet the following criteria:

1. 
   Age category.

   If a retired military man applies for his first pension upon reaching a certain army (20 years) or mixed (12.5 years) service or disability, then the opportunity to apply for insurance payments appears only when the citizen reaches retirement age.
2. Experience. One of the most important criteria that influences both the possibility of obtaining an insurance pension and the amount of payments. The minimum required work experience in 2020 increased to 10 years. In the future, its value may increase to 15 years. The maximum length of service is unlimited.
3. Pension points . The more contributions an employer makes to the Pension Fund, the more pension points a citizen will receive. The minimum number of pension points for processing insurance payments is 16.2.

It is worth saying that the registration of the 2nd pension is of a declarative nature. Therefore, without providing the necessary papers and an application, payments will not be processed.

Having reached a certain age, a retired military man has the right to submit an application for insurance payments to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation or a multifunctional center. In addition, it is possible to send documents through the post office or the personnel department of the employer company. If the former military member is registered on the government services website, he can submit all the papers online.

What documents are needed to apply for a second pension for military personnel?

In order to apply for an insurance pension, a retired military personnel will need the following papers:

• passport;
• SNILS;
• employment history;
• other papers that confirm the presence of work experience;
• extracts on the provision of military pensions.

After payments are assigned, the applicant has the right to choose how the money will be delivered to him. In the application, you can choose delivery through the post office or a company that has entered into an agreement with the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. You can also make payments to a bank card.

Reasons for assigning a military pension

You can start receiving a lifetime payment from the state for military service on just three grounds.

1. Length of service – in particular, you must have served 20 years or more. In some cases, only 12.5 years of service is enough, but an important condition must be met - the total length of service must be 25 years or more, that is, you need to work “in civilian life” for at least 12.5 years.
2. Disability – A retired military member can receive a lifetime benefit regardless of length of service. But for this, he must be assigned a disability group, one way or another connected with military service.
3. Loss of a breadwinner - disabled members of a military family have the right to receive a military pension if the serviceman died while on duty or while enlisted in a military unit. Service life is also not important.

The issuance of a military pension is determined by the reason for retirement. Each case has its own nuances.

Insurance part of pension for military personnel

The formula for calculating the insurance part of pensions for retired Russian army employees has been truncated when compared with the formula for calculating payments to civilians. Individual pension points are multiplied by their current price. The product will indicate the size of the insurance part of the pension for a former military man.

For retired military personnel who are not working, the 2nd pension was indexed in January 2020. Payments have increased due to changes in the price of pension points; now it is 87.24 rubles.

The amount of insurance payments for employed former military personnel has not changed. However, it is planned to increase it slightly at the end of summer. The increase is planned to be carried out by increasing the price of pension points that were earned in 2020.

A significant increase in pensions is planned in mid-autumn 2020, when the state will recalculate the long-service pension provision. Military pensions will increase by 6.3 percent due to an increase in pay by 4.3 percent and two percent indexation.

A former military man has the right to apply for an insurance pension. However, its size will be smaller than for civilians. This is due to the fact that military pensioners already receive a good basic pension; the state cannot afford to allocate additional funds for their maintenance, especially with the current pension reform.

Conditions for military retirement

There are several groups of citizens who have the right to receive an early pension. One of the main conditions is length of service. How exactly he can retire is regulated by the law of the Russian Federation of February 1993.

The age of a military man is also strictly defined. It cannot be less than 45 years of age on the day a person retires from the armed forces. In order for a person with military experience to retire based on length of service, one of 2 conditions must be met:

• At least 20 years of service on the day of transfer to the reserve.
• Early retirement becomes possible if a person has reached 45 years of age and has 25 years of total work experience. But in this case, early retirement is possible only if half of this length of service (12.5 years) is military.

If none of these conditions are met, then the military man has no right to early retirement, and his length of service will be taken into account when he retires on a general basis.
