Preferential pension for medical workers in 2020 (changes and latest news)

Long service pension for doctors from 2019

To receive a preferential pension, health workers from 2020 must meet two conditions:

1. Sufficient work experience in a medical institution. Grounds – clause 20, part 1, art. 30 Federal Law No. 400 (2013).
2. The required number of IPC (the sum of all pension points) on the date of assignment of pensioner status. Grounds – Part 3 of Art. 8 Federal Law No. 400.

The sufficient amount of IPC for retirement increases every year. It grows by 2.4 units annually. For 2020, this is 16.2 points, while in 2018, 13.8 IPC was required to apply for a pension. The indicator will stop at 30 points in 2025. Health workers are entitled to a pension only when they reach it.

Stage of pension reform 2020

Since 1992, the demographic situation in the country began to change for the worse, which led to a real decrease in the number of working-age population. Under these conditions, the state had to make additional contributions to the Pension Fund at the expense of the budget to fully satisfy the needs for covering pension payments. To solve the problem of lack of funds, the state planned a long-term pension reform.

The main innovation was the emergence of an insurance pension and insurance experience, allowing citizens to count on minimum mandatory payments when they reach retirement age. However, at the same time, in order to receive their well-deserved pension, citizens had to work for a certain period of time, which began to be established by the state.

Another innovation for 2020 was pension points, which a citizen must accumulate during his or her working life. The number of points began to directly depend on the amount of contributions to the pension fund made by the employer.

Note! Since 2015, obtaining and accumulating insurance points has become possible only through official employment. The higher the official salary, the more points a citizen will receive for each calendar year.

Supporters of the new pension calculation system considered it quite effective for every citizen who cares about his future well-being. However, among experts and legislators there were opponents of the innovations, who pointed out their significant shortcomings:

• a gradual increase in the mandatory insurance period - if before 2015 it was at least 5 years, then by 2024 the length of service should reach at least 15 years;
• a systematic increase in the number of pension points that guarantee the assignment of a pension in the future - in 2020 this figure was within 6.6, but by 2025 it should be 30 points.

Such changes were supposed to encourage citizens to take a more responsible approach to choosing a job, since only through official employment can they earn the necessary experience and points.

Length of service for retirement

The determining factor for medical workers in the Russian Federation is their accumulated experience in a medical organization. This is 25-30 years, taking into account the location of the settlement where the citizen worked. The recent pension law does not change these conditions. He did not touch upon the rules for calculating special experience, the list of medical specialists for whom preferential conditions apply.

The rules regarding preferential length of service for retirement for medical personnel are regulated by acts (for work during a certain period, the law in force at that time is relevant):

1. Since 2002 Government Decree No. 781 (2002).
2. 11.1999-31.12. 2001 Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1066 (1999).
3. 01.1992-31.10.1999 Order of the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR No. 464 (1991).
4. Until 1992. Resolution of the USSR Council of Ministers No. 1397 (1959).

As for long-service pensions for medical workers, employment in those medical organizations, in those positions that are attached to the lists of these acts, is taken into account. If any period of experience does not meet the conditions introduced by the Resolutions, it is not taken into account by the Pension Fund.

But the recently adopted Federal Law No. 350 (2018) still contains innovations regarding a preferential pension for health workers. There is a “waiting period” before the assignment of pension benefits based on length of service. Its length in 2019-2023 will grow evenly until it reaches the 5 year mark. So, if a doctor has accumulated sufficient experience in 2023, then retirement is possible after 5 years (not in 2023, according to the previous legislation, but only in 2028).

The deferment increases in stages - by one position annually. In 2019-2020 preferential conditions for calculating security for former medical workers are relevant: they are entitled to issue it six months earlier than required under the new procedures.

Features of pension reform in 2020

At the end of 2020 - beginning of 2020. Initiatives have been repeatedly put forward to raise the retirement age for Russian citizens, some of which were adopted by the Federal Law “On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts” dated May 23, 2016 No. 143-FZ. Civil service workers were the first to feel these changes, whose retirement age in 2020 was raised by 6 months and amounted to 55.5 years for women and 60.5 years for men. This planned increase should be gradual and reach 65 years for men and 63 years for women by 2032 and 2026, respectively.

Another mandatory change was the increase in pension fund contributions for the self-employed population. Consequently, if a citizen conducts business activities, he must receive timely information about the amount of the mandatory contribution, calculated from his official income. In addition, since 2020, the functions of administering insurance contributions were transferred to the Federal Tax Service, while the Pension Fund retained obligations to administer contributions made before 2017, as well as voluntary contributions to insurance and funded pensions.

The size of the fixed payment also increased due to indexation on February 1 (5.4%) and April 1 (0.38%), which entailed an increase in the minimum pension. This guaranteed increase was assigned automatically, without a corresponding application from citizens. State pension benefits also increased by 2.6%.

According to the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Population Maxim Topilin, in 2020 there will be no more major changes in the pension system. The reform policy will be carried out very smoothly and will not become critical for citizens of pre-retirement age.

Positions of health workers eligible for early retirement

What are the conditions for receiving a “northern” pension?

In other situations, the same rules apply as for any Russian. In the Russian Federation, insurance or social benefits are relied upon, so any person who worked in the required territory has the right to claim them. The only difference is that some benefits are possible for both the social and insurance components of the benefit.

Do not forget that these benefits are provided not only to local residents, but also to residents of other regions if they worked in the same conditions for the required years.

Preferential retirement experience for doctors

For a long-service pension, a physician must have the following experience:

1. 25 years. Employment in medical organizations in rural areas: villages, villages, towns.
2. 30 years. Work in the city or mixed experience (the doctor worked both in the city and in the village).

But when taking into account length of service, a special procedure “a year and a half” can be applied. Valid when working in specific positions, employment in certain medical organizations.

Before calculating your pension, the following conditions must be met:

• official employment;
• working in a position for which a preferential pension is provided according to the legislation current at that time;
• employment in a medical institution, whose employees have the right to early pension payments according to the legislative act current at that time.

Today, Government Resolution No. 781 (2002) is considered valid.

The length of service of a physician in 2019 includes those periods when the employee made contributions to the Pension Fund. Grounds – Part 1 of Art. 11 Federal Law No. 400 (2013). Residency or internship training is taken into account in the calculation if at that time the specialist received an official salary and held a full-time position.

As an exception, the experience of health workers from 2020 is not taken into account in the calendar queue. For example, when a medical intern took part in surgical operations during training. Only those periods of training and employment that are not included in the corresponding entry in the work book are ignored.

Positions in which medical experience is counted as “a year and a half”

The above Resolution introduces a list of medical specialists, taking into account whose experience 1 year (12 months) is taken as 1.5 (18 months). They have access to early retirement. Preferential length of service for medical personnel:

1. Surgical organizations, hospital institutions, microsurgical, oncological, ENT, orthopedic, burn departments. Positions: operating doctors (including heads of departments), as well as operating nurses (ordinary, chief, senior), midwives and nurses working in the departments of traumatology, purulent surgery, burn lesions, etc.
2. Mobile teams, groups, departments of emergency and emergency medical care, intensive care, anesthesiology-resuscitation, intensive care. Positions: resuscitators and anesthesiologists (including heads of departments), ward nurses (private and senior), nurse anesthesiologists.
3. Central bureaus of forensic medical examinations, subordinate bureaus of forensic medical examinations, medical forensic laboratories. Positions: forensic medical experts (including heads of departments), nursing staff directly involved in forensic medical research, conducting autopsies.
4. Pathology departments. Positions: pathologists (including heads of departments), nursing staff of the institution.

A complete list of specialists is annex to Resolution No. 781 (2002).

Additional increases to insurance pensions

If a pensioner has disabled relatives as dependents, the amount of the fixed payment due to him will be increased by 1/3 for each dependent.

Upon reaching the age of eighty, pensioners will be paid an increase in the amount of 5,334 rubles 19 kopecks.

For 30 years of rural experience, non-working residents of rural areas will receive an increase in the amount of 1,333 rubles 55 kopecks.

The size of the increase for pensioners who have worked for 15 years in the regions of the Far North will be 2,667 rubles 10 kopecks, and for those who have worked for 20 years in areas equated to the Far North - 1,778 rubles 06 kopecks.

What guarantees will there be not to lose your job?

“What scares people of pre-retirement age? They are afraid of facing the risk of losing their job. In this regard, a whole package of measures is needed.

• It is necessary to establish administrative and even criminal liability for employers for dismissing workers of pre-retirement age and for refusing to hire.
• I instruct the government to offer incentives for business so that employers are interested in hiring and retaining citizens of pre-retirement age.
• I instruct the government to approve a special program for advanced training for citizens of pre-retirement age.
• Increase the maximum amount of unemployment benefits for citizens of pre-retirement age from 4900 rubles. up to 11,280 rub. from January 1, 2020 and set the payment period to 1 year.
• To establish the employer’s obligation to annually provide employees of pre-retirement age with 2 days for medical examination while maintaining their salary.”

How are the authorities going to force employers to hire people of pre-retirement age? And will fines, and especially criminal liability, for age discrimination work?

“We are talking about amendments to the Criminal and Administrative Codes. Changes are currently being agreed upon. The government, the presidential administration, and parliament are working,” said Deputy Prime Minister Tatyana Golikova . — The administrative liability of employers for dismissing workers of pre-retirement age, as well as for refusing to hire based on age, will be tightened. And criminal punishment can be equated to liability, which is established in Art. 145 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation for the dismissal of pregnant women: a fine of up to 200 thousand rubles. or a manager’s salary for a period of up to 18 months or compulsory work for a period of up to 360 hours.”

“If one of the employers has the idea that it is possible to discriminate just because a woman is pregnant or a person has reached a certain age, he should know: he may face liability,” says Chairman of the State Duma Committee on Budget and Taxes Andrei Makarov . — First, in all likelihood, administrative liability will be applied. If a person is warned that he has broken the law, first there is a fine. But if he continues to do this, criminal liability arises.” At the same time, as Makarov said, the reaction of the business community is understandable, which proposed very carefully applying measures related to criminal liability. But this position was also shared by the trade unions. They worry that the threat of criminal liability could force employers to preemptively reject older people who apply for jobs.

The RSPP, Delovaya Rossiya, Opora Rossii and FNPR jointly proposed introducing not only liability for discrimination against older workers, but also incentives that would encourage employers to pay more attention to them. The possibility of introducing quotas for people of pre-retirement age, tax breaks for entrepreneurs and other incentive measures are being discussed. “It will be easier with state and municipal institutions,” says Pavel Krasheninnikov, Chairman of the State Duma Committee on State Building and Legislation . — The problem is more acute with commercial organizations. There we need to act through tax breaks or some other instruments.”

What do businesses think would be an attractive incentive? “Most often there is a proposal to lower the rate of insurance contributions that the employer will pay to the Pension Fund for workers at pre-retirement age,” says Alexander Kalinin, president of Opora Russia . — Today, the standard rate of 22% is reduced to 10% when the salary paid to an employee during the year exceeds RUB 1,021,000. It would be logical to reduce the rate for “pre-retirees” to this level. Over several decades of work, an impressive amount of contributions has already been paid from their salaries. It is also worth more actively involving business in the development and implementation of retraining programs for older people. It is important, firstly, that they are taught the skills that companies actually need. Secondly, orders for such training, financed from the budget, should be placed not only in public, but also in private educational centers. And finally, business is interested in ensuring that the mandatory two-day leave for medical examination, which is proposed to be provided to older employees, does not turn into a formality. It’s important that this is a quality assessment—one that actually allows these people to maintain their health and productivity.”

Let's goodbye. Does the likelihood of being fired increase on the eve of retirement? More details

The size of the northerners' pension

The amounts of payments to persons who have worked for a long time in difficult circumpolar conditions depend, first of all, on such a parameter as the IPC. It is the number of insurance points that forms the majority of the insurance pension.

However , due to the specific conditions in which they worked, northerners have additional allowances . Let's look at them in more detail.

Calculation of the regional coefficient for a resident of the Far North

The regional coefficient should be understood as a specific tool for increasing various types of payments as a compensation mechanism for work in difficult and dangerous climatic conditions.

It is also taken into account when paying pensions. Depending on the type and nature of the terrain, its value varies from 1.15 to 2.

Reference! The regional coefficient is used when calculating any types of pensions, including insurance and social.

Increasing the fixed payment to the pension of northerners

A fixed payment is one of the components of an insurance pension, which is paid by the state in addition to the funds generated by the pensioner during his working life independently.

It has a certain size, regardless of the IPC parameter , and amounts to 5,334 rubles in 2020. At the same time, in some cases, increases are due to it.

So, for citizens who receive a northern pension, the payment amount will be 8,001 rubles. However, if the pensioner has a dependent, then the amount can range from 10,668 rubles to 16,002 rubles (depending on their number), the same applies to northerners who are over 80 years old - their additional payment will also be 16,002 rubles.

Will the northern pension be calculated if you move to another region?

The main condition for calculating the payments in question is length of service in the northern regions. If a citizen changes his/her place of residence, he/she can receive the same preferential pension with all allowances.

However, the latter does not apply to the regional coefficient. It is accrued only on condition of permanent residence in the area where it operates.

When moving to more climatically comfortable areas, these payments will stop being paid.

Important! The issue of residence in the Far North is fundamentally important for the application of the regional coefficient. This is even related to the fact that pensioners are annually required to provide the Pension Fund with relevant certificates confirming this fact.

The pension of northerners is greater than that of the vast majority of citizens, which is not surprising, given the severity of work in the Far North. They can also retire earlier than others, but upon completion of the reform this right will be delayed for 5 years.

What benefits are available to holders of “northern” pensions?

The list will provide examples that affect not only pensioners, but also other segments of the population:

• First of all, this is a regional coefficient that influences not only the amount of benefits for old age, disability or other grounds for receiving them, but also the volume of wages in the regions.
• A special system of percentage increases in earnings, the essence of which is that a certain percentage is due after six months of work in the Far North, and also affects equal areas, where the bonus begins to apply after one working year.
• The benefits already listed above, which allow you to end your working life legally earlier, as well as increased pensions.
• An important point is that in the northern regions there is a different vacation system that allows you to take a paid vacation not once a year, but twice, and also compensates for the costs of travel to the places where people decide to spend this vacation.

In conclusion, it should be noted that northerners have a sufficient number of advantages related to working or living conditions, but many benefits only work if the person continues to live in this territory. When moving to more favorable conditions, the size of the pension decreases if initially its value depended not on individual merits, but on regional coefficients.
