Deputies adopted amendments on the prosecutor's office in the first reading

Conditions for receiving a pension

State prosecutors may retire under the following conditions:

1. Retirement age is approaching. The prosecutor's retirement age is 45 years old, while the total length of service in the public prosecution service must exceed 12.5 years.
2. Retirement based on length of service. In the prosecutor's office, length of service is considered to be 20 years of continuous experience.
3. Upon dismissal due to deteriorating health. In this case, the pensioner receives disability payments until he reaches retirement age. From this moment on, the disability pension automatically changes to a labor pension, but its amount should not be less than the payments received for disability.
4. The reason for receiving severance pay may be resignation or layoffs in connection with the reform. Pre-retirees who have no more than five years left before their legal leave can apply for early retirement. To do this, you need to write an application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with an explanation that there are no new official appointments and it is impossible to obtain a position in connection with the reform (or for other objective reasons).
5. Prosecutors with twenty years of work experience who continue to work can apply for a pension bonus of 50% of their salary while maintaining their job.
6. The survivor's pension is paid to the families and dependents of the prosecutor in the event of his death. Based on Federal Law No. 173 of December 17, 2001, paragraph 31 on the loss of a pensioner’s breadwinner, all persons dependent on the deceased prosecutor receive 30% of the amount of his pension. Minor dependents will receive a survivor's pension until they reach adulthood. Persons of retirement age and disabled people receive payments for life.

Pension amount

The calculation of the prosecutor's pension in 2020 is carried out according to the formula: the employee's salary, summed up with all allowances, is multiplied by the coefficient set for representatives of prosecutorial positions (80%). Employees of the prosecutor's office are entitled to an official bonus and a bonus for length of service.

Table 1. Coefficient for calculating the official bonus in 2020 for employees of the prosecutor’s office

In order to independently calculate the size of your future pension, it is not enough to know the position and salary of a prosecutor’s office employee. In this matter, the reason for retirement, the total length of service in the prosecutorial system and in prosecutorial positions in particular are of great importance.

In addition to the job coefficient, former prosecutorial employees are entitled to a bonus for continuous work experience.

Table 2. Amount of bonuses for length of service

In addition, prosecutors receive bonuses for various achievements:

• defense of an academic degree - an increase of 5% of the salary (60,000 * 5% = 3,000 rubles);

Who is eligible

According to the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 942, persons who at the time of leaving worked in the following specialties have the right to receive a pension as an employee of the prosecutor’s office:

• the Prosecutor General;
• Deputy Prosecutor General;
• advisor and assistant to all deputies;
• head of department or department;
• Deputy head of department and department;
• head of structural units with assistants and deputies;
• a criminologist serving in the prosecutor's office;
• investigator for particularly important cases;
• senior investigator;
• military prosecutor;
• senior assistant, and his family members also receive increased payments.

Each specialty is considered separately for possible retirement, which is regulated by law, namely the Law “On Prosecutors”.

Features of pensions for military prosecutors

Until 2020, military prosecutors left their posts for a well-deserved rest upon reaching retirement age as military pensioners. They were entitled to all the benefits and allowances due to military personnel.

It should be noted that the military pension is significantly lower than the prosecutor's pension!

In 2020, in connection with the state reorganization, military prosecutors and investigators were included in the structure of the Prosecutor General's Office and the Investigative Committee; this event equated the rights of military prosecutors and investigators with the rights of their civilian colleagues. An important difference in calculating the pension of a military prosecutor is the fact that his salary depends on promotion of rank and military merit.

Military leadership can retire based on length of service, having at least 20 years of experience behind them. The pension amount will be calculated as follows: 54% of salary + 3% for each year exceeding twenty years.

The regional coefficient is added to the standard pension calculation formula if the service took place in the northern regions of the country. In military units with special conditions of service, 3 years of service are counted as 4.

For those disabled during military operations, social benefits are provided. The payment coefficient depends on the disability group confirmed by the medical commission:

1. The first is 300% of the social pension.
2. The second is 250%. from social pension.
3. Third - 175% of the social pension.

Benefits for labor veterans

When and how much

The Russian government has more than once raised the issue of increasing security, regardless of whether they are employed or not. Negotiations are currently underway regarding an increase in the second half of the year. But how much do they want to increase the provision?

According to unreliable information, the government decided to increase security through a one-time compensation of 5,000 rubles. But negotiations are still underway on the relevance of the issue. All pensioners, without exception, living on the territory of the Russian Federation will be able to receive such an increase.

The state is inclined to extradite, but no one can say yet what the situation is like in practice. It is possible that leaders will vote for indexation, which could amount to up to 15% for the current period.

Additionally, it is worth noting that the State Duma intends to expand the preferential list. Then citizens from this list will have the right to take advantage of additional privileges.

These include:

1. preferential use of route transport. Previously, you could travel by minibus for money;
2. expanding the list of possible drugs;
3. discounts and compensation for utility bills;
4. preferential provision for raising grandchildren;
5. social lending;
6. obtaining municipal housing on the best terms;
7. provision of food cards and free clothing;
8. preferential provision and home delivery of products;
9. Providing vouchers to sanatoriums and the sea.

The possibility of additional items appearing cannot be ruled out. The government is trying to protect citizens of retirement age and take care of their well-being.

What changes will affect prosecutors' pensions in 2020?

In 2020, it is planned to make a number of changes related to the retirement of Russian citizens. This is due to the increase in the number of years of service.

In different structures, the retirement age will change; prosecutors will retire according to their length of service no earlier than after twenty-five years of continuous service, but not earlier than 45 years. An employee of the prosecutor's office is entitled to pension payments only after 12.5 years of service.

Indexation of pensions for working retired prosecutors

Expert opinion

Since 2020, on the basis of Federal Law No. 385 of December 29, 2015, working pensioners can receive pensions and wages, but indexation of monthly pension payments is not carried out for them.

The same law applies to retired prosecutors. After the dismissal of a pensioner, the amount of pension payments is recalculated within three months, taking into account all previously missed indexations.

The pensioner should receive an increased pension the very next month after dismissal, but if by this time the pension fund employees do not have time to recalculate, the difference will be paid later, not exceeding six months of waiting.

For working pensioners, the pension is not indexed

Example. Petr Petrov quit his job in January and immediately reported this to the pension fund.

From February of the same year, Petrov should receive a pension, taking into account all previously missed indexations, but the pension fund employees did not have time to carry out the necessary calculations. In February and March, the pensioner received the same amount of pension payments as during his working life.

In April, Peter receives a pension, taking into account the recalculation made, and an additional payment in the amount of the difference between the due pension amount, taking into account all indexations for February and March, and actually received.

In 2020, an increase in pensions for prosecutors, prosecutorial employees and investigators of the Investigative Committee of Russia is provided. Payments to employees of the prosecutor's office have not been indexed for several years. If in 2020 the average pension benefit for a district investigator and prosecutor was 20,000-22,000 rubles , then from February 1, 2019, thanks to the fee for the rank, it will be 26,000-29,000 rubles .

This year, the pension benefits of prosecutorial employees will increase due to an increase in salaries by 4% or by 1.2 - 1.5 thousand rubles .

How pensions for prosecutors have changed in 2020

The main innovations relating to the provision of prosecutors who have retired are related to the conditions for the assignment of these benefits. The increase affected length of service.

Adjustments occurred in different structures. An employee of the prosecutor's office will be able to retire no earlier than after 25 years of continuous service. The age limit is defined as 45 years.

A citizen has the right to receive pension payments after 12.5 years of service in the prosecutor's office.

New indexation of prosecutors' pensions

In 2020, after indexation, the values ​​increased by approximately 9,000 rubles.

Indexation news for working prosecutors

Federal Law No. 385 of 2020 “On the suspension of the action...” established a moratorium on increasing pension payments for those persons who have retired and continue to work. These citizens do not lose the right to benefits, and the amount does not increase every year.

This rule also applies to prosecutors. A citizen will be able to receive an increased pension after the employment relationship is terminated. The recalculation procedure is carried out within 3 months from the date of dismissal.

For example, Ivanov resigned from the prosecutor’s office in January 2020 and immediately sent information about this to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Starting from February, Ivanov should receive payments taking into account all indexations carried out. However, employees of the pension authority did not have time to make all the necessary calculations by this time.

As a result, in February and March Ivanov received payments in the same amount. In April, he received an increase in benefits. In addition, the amounts not received in the previous 2 months are listed.

News about the bill on pensions for prosecutors

Currently, the State Duma is considering a draft law that provides for an increase in pension payments for employees of the prosecutor's office. For this reason, media representatives developed a global problem, reporting that it is planned to increase the amount of support for such citizens several times.

In reality the situation is different. The journalists' conclusions have no justification. In fact, the Government of the country proposed to increase the amount of security for retired prosecutors by 12% in 2020.

In practice, you can find such a payment amount, since the amount depends on the length of service and the amount of salary during the work activity.

Currently, this draft law has not yet been approved.

Latest news in 2020

Official data indicate that 2.5 billion rubles have been allocated in the federal budget for increasing payments for 2020 and 6.2 billion for the period 2020–2020. These funds have already been reserved in the country's budget. Despite the State Duma’s plans to increase the pension along with the bonus to 26–30 thousand rubles, in fact, there was no significant increase in payments. Since the approval of the bill, the prosecutor's pension this year has increased by 1,200 - 1,500 rubles.

As a result of the increase in pensions, it is expected that the salaries of authorized persons in this category will be indexed by 4% annually.

New pension size for prosecutors

Pensions for prosecutors in 2020 are calculated using the formula below.

• P – amount of pension payment;
• O – salary size;
• N – benefits increases;
• K is the coefficient on the basis of which the amount of the pension is determined.

In 2020, this coefficient of 80% is applied. Allowances for this category of citizens are associated with length of service.

The table shows the current coefficients for calculating the bonus for the position of prosecutors.

In order to independently calculate the amount of pension payments in 2020, it is not enough to have information about what position the citizen held and what his salary was. It is also necessary to take into account the reason why retirement took place and the overall length of service.

How to calculate the pension of a prosecutor's employee

The procedure for determining the result looks like this:

1. The salary level varies in the range of 100,000 rubles, while the salary at the time of reaching retirement age, in accordance with his position, is only 35,000 rubles.
2. The value of the coefficient for the existing rank, according to table No. 1 given earlier, is 23% - equal to 35,000 rubles. * 23% = 8,050 rub.;
3. The value of the length of service coefficient according to table No. 2 given earlier is 45% - equal to 35,000 rubles. * 45% = 15,750 rubles;
4. By adding the 2 values ​​obtained and the previously calculated salary, the following amount is determined: 35,000 + 8,050 + 15,750 = 58,800 rubles;
5. From the ratios established by the laws of the Russian Federation in the amount of 80%, the following amount is obtained: 58,800 * 80% = 47,040 rubles.

Based on the calculations made, the value is 47,040 rubles.

• military prosecutor - an official who monitors compliance with legislation in the Armed Forces;
• prosecutor criminologist - a specialist who collects and analyzes evidence for the investigation;
• Head of the Investigative Committee - Deputy Prosecutor General;
• head of a department or department with his deputies;
• the head of the structural unit and his employees;
