The reform of the pension system, which will begin at the beginning of 2019, will also affect pensioners who have worked in agriculture all their lives. The President of Russia paid special attention to this category of citizens in his address to the Russian people. Rural work is considered very hard, and therefore pensioners from rural areas deserve decent pensions. Starting from January 2019, people who are on a well-deserved vacation are planning to increase their payments. This will primarily affect citizens who are retired and do not work. This also applies to pensioners who worked in agriculture.
Increase in pension for more than 30 years of service (for work in agriculture)
For pensioners who have worked for 30 or more years in agriculture in a position provided for in the list, a 25% increase in the fixed payment to the insurance pension will be paid. According to Art. 9 of Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, such additional payment for long work experience in rural areas will be assigned and paid in accordance with the procedure prescribed by law.
Such an allowance was already provided for by part 14 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013 “On Insurance Pensions”, but the operation of such a norm was suspended due to the difficult situation in the country’s economy (Article 1 of Law No. 428-FZ of December 19, 2016) Moratorium on the payment of the bonus to rural pensioners was envisaged until January 1, 2020, but in connection with the pension reform, it was decided to “unfreeze” the effect of this norm ahead of schedule.
A pension supplement for work experience in agriculture is assigned only to non-working pensioners receiving an old-age or disability insurance pension. In this case, not the amount of the paid pension itself will be increased by 25%, but only the amount of the fixed payment to the insurance pension (IF).
According to Part 8 of Art. 10 of Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, the amount of the fixed payment for 2020 is set equal to 5,686.25 rubles, therefore the following increase is expected for rural pensioners:
- RUB 1,421.56 — for persons receiving old age and disability payments of groups 1 and 2;
- RUB 710.78 — for citizens receiving disability insurance pension of group 3.
Who is entitled to a 25 percent pension supplement for working in rural areas?
Only those pensioners who are assigned to pay an old-age or disability insurance pension can receive a 25% increase in their pension for work in agriculture. In addition, the following mandatory conditions must be met:
- A pensioner must have at least 30 years of work experience in agriculture in a position that is included in the list established by the Government. Only periods of work with official employment will be taken into account, during which insurance premiums were paid to the Pension Fund for such an employee.
- During the period of assignment of the additional payment, the pensioner must be unemployed, i.e. not to carry out labor or other activities for which insurance premiums are paid to the Pension Fund.
- Live permanently in a rural area.
According to Part 15 of Art. 17 of Law No. 400-FZ, when moving to a new place of residence outside of rural areas, the 25% surcharge for work in agriculture will be canceled. Therefore, increased pensions will be paid to villagers only during the period the pensioner lives in rural areas.

List of professions for pension supplement for agricultural workers
The list of professions and positions in which work allows a rural pensioner to receive a 25% increase in pension, as well as the procedure for calculating special work experience, is established by the Government. The corresponding Resolution No. 1440 of November 29, 2018 has already been officially published.
The project provides lists of specialties and professions for three types of production: crop farming, livestock farming and fish farming. The list of positions is presented in the table below:
| Production | Name of specialty, profession, position |
| Plant growing (vegetable growing, fruit growing, forestry, floriculture, etc.) |
|
| Animal husbandry (horse breeding, sheep breeding, fur farming, poultry farming, dairy and beef cattle breeding, beekeeping, etc.) |
|
| Fish farming on state farms, collective farms, agricultural cooperatives, peasant farms, etc. |
|
The length of service is calculated in calendar order for the following periods:
- Periods of labor activity in the territory of the Russian Federation according to the provided list of professions, subject to payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of Russia;
- Periods of labor activity on the territory of the USSR until January 1, 1992 according to the provided list of positions;
- Periods of work on collective farms, state farms, machine and tractor stations, inter-collective farm enterprises, peasant farms, which were carried out before January 1, 1992, without mandatory requirements for the position held.
It should be noted that periods of receiving temporary disability benefits, annual paid leave, as well as periods of child care up to one and a half years (in total no more than 6 years) are also included in the work experience in agriculture, which gives the right to receive a 25% pension supplement.
How to get a raise for agricultural workers
The pension increase for rural pensioners will be carried out without an application if the Pension Fund has all the necessary data on the presence of more than 30 years of experience in agriculture and the actual residence of the pensioner in a rural area. This means that you do not need to contact the Pension Fund to receive the supplement - the pension amount will be increased automatically.
According to Part 5 of Art. 10 of Law No. 350-FZ, an increase in pension is assigned from January 1, 2020, but the deadline for recalculation is provided until September 1, 2020 . All funds that should be accrued from January 1, 2019 until the actual recalculation is carried out will be compensated and received immediately for all months of such delay.
If the Pension Fund does not have documents confirming the right to receive an increase in pension, then the citizen has the right to provide additional documents at any time. In this case, the date of provision of these documents will be important:
- When applying from January 1 to December 31, 2020, a pension supplement for work in rural areas is assigned from January 1, 2019.
- If the necessary documents are provided in 2020 and later, then the additional payment will be assigned only from the next month after the date of application (clause 2, part 1, article 23 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013). For example, if a pensioner submits documents in February 2020, then the increased pension will be assigned to him only from March 1, 2020.

Is it profitable for a rural pensioner to continue working?
It should be noted that a person entitled to receive an old-age insurance pension is given the right to apply for a pension at a later date. In this case, no bonus is paid to the fixed payment, but the assignment of bonus coefficients is provided:
| Number of months that have passed since the date the right to receive pension payments arose | Premium coefficient applied for fixed payment | Premium coefficient applied to old age insurance pension |
| 12 | 1,056 | 1,07 |
| 24 | 1,12 | 1,15 |
| 36 | 1,19 | 1,24 |
| 48 | 1,27 | 1,34 |
| 60 | 1,36 | 1,45 |
| 72 | 1,46 | 1,59 |
| 84 | 1,58 | 1,74 |
| 96 | 1,73 | 1,9 |
| 108 | 1,9 | 2,09 |
| 120 | 2,11 | 2,32 |
Example No. 3. Calculation of pension payments.
Matveeva M.M. when contacting the Pension Fund, pension payments were calculated for September 2020 and amounted to 11,745.68 rubles (6,667.74 rubles fixed payment + 2,791.68 rubles insurance part + bonus 1,666.94 rubles).
If Matveeva M.M. is accepted. deferment of application for pension payments for a period of 24 months, the amount of the pension will be:
6667.74*1.12 + 2791.68*1.15 = 10678.30 rubles. Taking into account the allowance of Matveeva M.M. has no benefit to continue working, because taking into account the supplement, the pension amount will be 11,126.36 rubles.

My husband and I have worked in agriculture all our lives - he is a machine operator, an engineer, and I am an accountant. But after retirement they went to live with their children in the city. Are we not entitled to an increase in pension? What kind of nonsense is this again? Why should we live through old age without comforts, we no longer have the strength to heat the stove with wood, and that village no longer exists - only two or three houses remain.answer
- Elena 02/02/2019 at 17:05
What side should an accountant be? It is not included in the list!
answer
I got acquainted with the lists of positions and professions that fall under the pension supplement, and came to the conclusion that many are not on them - collective farm builders, cooks, accountants, weighers, accountants, personnel department workers. This is only at first glance. As if these people worked somewhere else, and not in agriculture.
The distribution by profession in agriculture did not free a person from being involved in mass work, especially there were many of them before the collapse of the Union. Sorting grain, poisoning mice, weeding beets, harvesting watermelons, etc. Often at the main job there were fewer working days than at these, as it were, auxiliary ones. And no one removed the responsibilities of the main position. And in the end, somehow it turns out not comme il faut.

Iraida 01/18/2019 at 00:00
Yes, you are right, it was as if they worked for another king. This is wrong, I myself have worked all my life in accounting and there is nothing. So where do we fall? The chairmen all entered, but the accounting department did not. Yes, indeed, who did the cleaners, accountants, and HR departments work for?
answer
Government Decree No. 1440 of 2020 approved a complete list of positions, professions and specialties. At the end there is clause 4 “Work (activity) on collective farms, at machine and tractor stations, at inter-collective farm enterprises (organizations), on state farms, peasant (farm) farms, artels (agricultural), which was carried out on the territory of the Russian Federation (formerly Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic) until January 1, 1992 - regardless of the name of the profession, specialty and position held.”
answer
Our Government must be kicked out for such humiliating decrees and laws! They themselves live in contentment at the expense of the people. The tractor driver is a villager, and the accountant seems to live in Moscow. Move the entire Duma from Rublyovka to a remote village for a year - let them try to live!
answer
There are no shortage of fools and idiots in Russia who issue laws like this. Was it possible to manage in any agricultural enterprise without the profession of a builder? It's like a front without logistics support!
Yes, truly: we are worth who we choose.
answer
Hello. Please tell me, my father worked as a driver on a state farm for 43 years, but at one time he was transferred to the operators of a machine that dried grain and made granules. All my life on the same state farm, but there is no supplement to my pension.
answer
- Nadezhda 03/15/2019 at 23:40
Tatyana, the law states that the bonus is intended according to the list in three cases and paragraph 3 reads:
3. Periods of work on collective farms, state farms, machine and tractor stations, inter-collective farm enterprises, peasant farms, which were carried out before January 1, 1992, without mandatory requirements for the position held.
I worked as an economist at a state farm and received a bonus.
answer
My mother was denied an increase for rural experience, since 14 years of work were confirmed only by witness testimony, and 19 years of work were noted in the work book. Is this legal?
answer
- Natalya 01/10/2019 at 23:39
My mother was also denied this bonus. She worked in Kyrgyzstan (I don’t remember the name of the village) from 1981 to 1991. They were not counted, although they were noted in the work book. They said that these years are not counted, but the article says that periods of labor activity on the territory of the USSR before January 1, 1992 are counted according to the provided list of positions. And how is that? With these 10 years of experience comes out to 31 years.
answer
He has a full 32 years of experience on a state farm, 3 of which were chief of security guards on the same farm. Not on the list, I wonder why? And who guarded socialist property?
answer
My mother worked as an accountant for 41 years, but she was not entitled to a bonus. What kind of nonsense is this? She could have fallen under the “collective farm member”, but the collective farms collapsed in the early 90s. I hope that appropriate changes will be made to the law, and everyone will receive the raises they deserve.
answer
Agronomist, postgraduate study in agrochemistry, work as a research assistant in the agriculture department, crop rotation laboratory, in the fields of the Agricultural Research Institute. Conducted research and introduced the best results of crop production and agrochemistry on state farms. Work experience in rural areas for 50 years. But for some reason, scientific workers were not included in the list of professions eligible to receive a 25% pension supplement. Perhaps the former agricultural research institutes, now renamed (FANO), belong to other organizations whose main activity is agriculture (RF Government Decree No. 1440 of November 29, 2020).
answer
The list of professions is more than strange. It is immediately obvious that it was prepared by people who had never been to the village and had no idea about village labor. Where are the milkmaids, pig farmers, calf sheds, poultry houses, feed distributors, grooms, shepherds, shepherds, etc.?
answer
The law is unfair and needs to be amended. Our mother had a stroke and had to be taken to the city. She worked for more than 30 years. If it weren’t for illness, I would live in the village. They didn't add anything to her. We need to approach such people individually.

Over the course of 30 years of work in agriculture, a person will work in different jobs. This is true everywhere! I went to the President’s website, they send it to the Pension Fund. Vicious circle! But in the published lists there is an item - workers of all specialties. It turns out that the President’s words are ordinary chatter. Or is it our officials who are carrying out the President’s instructions? In short, it turned out to be window dressing!
answer
Swap any word and you won’t be included in the list of professions. This is being done specifically to frame the President, and Medvedev is again on the sidelines, so clean.
answer
The same "song". The electricians serving the collective farm were transferred to Selkhozenergo. The same job, the same collective farm, but we were not included in the list - as if we were serving a foreign collective farm. But an entomologist was included on the list - I think not every collective farmer knows this specialty.
answer
We worked on the collective farm for 40 years. Only 24 years old tractor driver (counted), and 16 years old forager still on the collective farm (not counted - there is no such profession on the list). Is it possible to somehow achieve justice?
answer
- Nikolay 02/08/2019 at 15:05
Zina, I have my own concerns about working at Selkhozenergo. Have you read the list yourself? At the end of the list you can enter so many positions, I cannot send you a screenshot of this list to this discussion site, but search on the Internet. I think he will help you.
answer
She worked at a fruit state farm (LLP CJSC) from August 1981 until September 2012. Because The position of an accountant is not in the list of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 1440, but this list has been taken into account since 01/01/1992. Why is it not partially accrued until 01/01/1992 - and this is 10 years and 4 months (since the periods of work before 01/01/1992) 1992, regardless of the name of the profession, specialty and position). Maybe for employees of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation it is pennies, but for me, as a pensioner, it is 460 rubles. - This is money. I ask you to answer me.
answer
Good afternoon My father has more than 30 years of experience in rural areas and now lives in the village. Are an application and a copy of the work record sufficient to apply for an increased pension? They demand orders from him, which contain his positions - supposedly his labor is not enough. Is this true?
answer
- admin 02/04/2019 at 10:31
Good afternoon. The procedure for confirming rural experience is regulated by the “Rules for calculating and confirming insurance experience for establishing insurance pensions”, approved by Government Decree No. 1015 of October 2, 2014. Part 11 of these Rules reads:
The document confirming the periods of work under an employment contract is a work book of the established form (hereinafter referred to as the work book). In the absence of a work book, as well as if the work book contains incorrect and inaccurate information or there are no records about individual periods of work, written employment contracts, drawn up in accordance with the labor legislation in force on the day the relevant legal relationship arose, are accepted to confirm the periods of work. books of collective farmers, certificates issued by employers or relevant state (municipal) bodies, extracts from orders, personal accounts and wage statements.
answer
I worked in the countryside for 50 years, first as an accountant, and then as the chief economist on a farm for 42 years. Who counted everything and ran through the fields, carried out all the standards and prices so that production would work. And in the new times of developed capitalism, the economy remained, they did not have time to plunder it. And it turns out that I didn’t work at all, and what I did is unknown. They sorted grain and potatoes and weeded them. Everyone showed an example of how to work. But the state laughed at us and decided that the pension would be too high.
answer
Hello. Is the supplement monthly or not? Thank you.
answer
- Irina 02/14/2019 at 16:18
Hello, Evgeniy. Yes, the supplement is monthly and is paid throughout the entire period of residence of the pensioner in rural areas.
answer
I have 37 years of rural experience. 11 l. did not count, because worked in a collective farm bakery, baking bread for collective farmers. The collective farm included 4 farms. We got up at 2 o'clock in the morning and went to work, and even the lights on the street were not on, even if we poked out an eye. I know that a baker belongs to the category of workers, and the list of professions says “workers of all types.” This item does not work at all in the Pension Fund.
There is no one to expect help from, everyone is not in the know. Thank you to our state for being so concerned about pensioners.
