(
PFR
) is the largest organization in Russia providing socially significant public services to citizens. Founded on December 22, 1990 by Resolution of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR No. 442-1 “On the organization of the Pension Fund of the RSFSR”[2].

As a state extra-budgetary fund of the Russian Federation, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was created for the state management of funds of the pension system and ensuring the rights of citizens of the Russian Federation to pension provision. The budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is approved by the State Duma of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation in a separate law, together with the adoption of the Federal budget of the Russian Federation. The share of the Pension Fund's budget in Russia's GDP is 10.8% in terms of income and 10.2% in terms of expenses. The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation pays pensions to over 40 million pensioners[3] and social benefits to 20 million beneficiaries, and maintains personalized records of the pension rights of insured persons[4] - for over 128 million Russian citizens.

Pension Fund structure

The structure of the Pension Fund includes 8 Directorates in the Federal Districts of the Russian Federation, 83 Branches of the Pension Fund in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, a branch in Baikonur (Kazakhstan), as well as about 2,500 territorial directorates in all regions of the country. The Pension Fund system employs more than 100,000 workers[7]. The highest body is the Board of the Pension Fund; the Executive Directorate of the Pension Fund is responsible for its executive functions.

In relations with policyholders, insured persons and pensioners, the territorial departments of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are separate legal entities[8].

Structure[ | ]

The structure of the Pension Fund includes 84 Pension Fund Branches in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, including the OPFR in Baikonur (Kazakhstan), as well as 2,460 client services in the territorial bodies of the Pension Fund. The Pension Fund system employs more than 100,000 specialists[8]. The highest body is the Board of the Pension Fund; the Executive Directorate of the Pension Fund is responsible for its executive functions.

In relations with policyholders, insured persons and pensioners, the territorial departments of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are separate legal entities[9].

In May 2020, plans were announced to prepare for giving the Pension Fund the status of a public company. The transition to a public legal form will make it possible to transfer management to a tripartite basis - with the participation of the state, representatives of trade unions and employers. After the reorganization, the Pension Fund will be able to receive additional profit through investments. The same organizational and legal form is planned to be provided to the Federal Compulsory Health Insurance Fund (MHIF) and the Social Insurance Fund (SIF). A change in the legal status of extra-budgetary funds will create the opportunity to merge, in the future, the Pension Fund, the Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the Social Insurance Fund into a single state social fund. As a result, a “mega-regulator” may be created that will take over the entire complex of social insurance in Russia[10][11].

Socially significant functions of the Pension Fund

Among the socially significant functions of the Russian Pension Fund[7]:

• appointment and payment of pensions;
• accounting of insurance funds received under compulsory pension insurance;
• assignment and implementation of social payments to certain categories of citizens: veterans, disabled people, disabled people due to military trauma, Heroes of the Soviet Union, Heroes of the Russian Federation, etc.;
• personalized accounting of participants in the compulsory pension insurance system;
• interaction with policyholders (employers - payers of insurance pension contributions), collection of arrears;
• issuance of certificates for receiving maternity (family) capital;
• payment of maternity capital funds;
• management of pension system funds;
• implementation of the Program of state co-financing of voluntary pension savings (56-FZ of April 30, 2008, also known as the “thousand for a thousand” program);
• since 2010 - administration of insurance funds received under compulsory pension insurance and compulsory medical insurance;
• since 2010 - the establishment of a federal social supplement to social pensions in order to bring the total income of a pensioner to the pensioner’s subsistence level.

Personalized accounting in the compulsory pension insurance system
Data on the payment by policyholders (employers) of mandatory insurance premiums for an employee, information on insurance (work) experience are reflected on the individual personal account of the insured person, which is maintained by the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for each officially working citizen of Russia. The procedure for maintaining this personal account is regulated by Federal Law dated April 1, 1996 N 27-FZ (as amended on December 29, 2015) “On individual (personalized) accounting in the compulsory pension insurance system”[4]. Any citizen of the Russian Federation who has a SNILS can check information about the payment of mandatory insurance contributions by his employer on his individual personal account with the Pension Fund of Russia using the Internet portal “Gosuslug”[9].

Contributions - income of the Pension Fund

See also Compulsory social insurance in Russia.
The standard rate of contributions to the Pension Fund is 22% of the organization’s payroll, while contributions are not included in the salaries of individual employees, but are taken into account by the pension fund when maintaining their accounts[10]. These contributions are divided into the insurance part and the funded part of the pension.

Until 2010, contributions to the Pension Fund were taken into account as part of the unified social tax.

From January 1, 2010, the unified social tax was abolished, and instead direct insurance contributions of employers (policyholders) to three extra-budgetary funds were established: the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the Federal Compulsory Medical Insurance Fund and the Social Insurance Fund. In 2010, the total volume of insurance contributions will remain at the level of the Unified Social Tax rate - 26%, of which 20% will be directed to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (for compulsory pension insurance). In this case, contributions will be paid from annual earnings up to 415 thousand rubles. If annual earnings exceed 415 thousand rubles, contributions in excess of 415 thousand rubles are not collected, but pension rights in excess of this amount are not formed. From 2011, the amount of total contributions will increase to 34%, of which 26% will be contributions for compulsory pension insurance. This system makes it possible to significantly increase the level of pensions in the country. For persons who are fully covered by the insurance system, the coefficient of replacement of wages with a pension with which insurance premiums were paid will be at least 40% after 30 years of paying these contributions upon the occurrence of an insured event (that is, old age, determined by the citizen reaching the age established by law - 55 years for women and 60 years for men).

Also, since 2009, citizens have the opportunity to make voluntary contributions to the funded part of their pension. The law[11] provides for two parties to co-financing a citizen’s contributions - the state (which doubles the amount to at least 2 thousand, but not more than 12 thousand rubles) and the employer (which receives a tax deduction for co-financing employee contributions up to 12 thousand rubles).

Part of the long-term pension provision mechanism for citizens of the Russian Federation is the Russian National Welfare Fund[12]. As of April 2020, according to the Russian Ministry of Finance, the total volume of the fund amounted to 4,134.27 billion rubles (73.33 billion US dollars)[13].

Before transferring funds to management companies and non-state pension funds, the Pension Fund temporarily places them in commercial banks. Thus, according to the results of 2016, he received an income from such investment in the amount of 2.97 billion rubles, which is 10.58% per annum[14].

How the Russian Pension Fund is deceiving you. Revelations of a former lawyer of the Pension Fund. Do you think that the Pension Fund of the so-called Russian Federation is a state authority and that it is also obliged to pay you a pension? You are deeply mistaken. It doesn’t even have a statutory fund, and it doesn’t receive any funds from the Russian budget. There is no money there and there is no money in sight. Disaster in the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

There will be no pensions soon!

At the moment, the situation in the pension system of the Russian Federation is catastrophic. Officials are hysterical because they are afraid to inform citizens about the real state of affairs. Three trillion rubles is an amount that is not in the Russian Pension Fund. And this is about fulfilling current pension payments. The situation is only getting worse every year. This is where the shameful decisions are made to cancel the indexation of pensions for working pensioners. There is no money in the budget of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation! Already, money from the Reserve Fund is being used to fulfill the obligations previously assumed by the Russian Federation. As Deputy Minister of Finance Mrs. Nesterenko previously noted, if spending from the Reserve Fund continues at the current pace, then “in 2020 the state will not have money to pay salaries”!!!

The time has come to say that the USSR did not disappear anywhere - legally they could not destroy it, it was restored in 2010.
The President is elected according to the laws of war: if the Head of the country, also known as the Commander-in-Chief, leaves his post and the entire army too, then according to the laws of war a soldier can become President and Commander-in-Chief. This lasts until order is restored in the country. Such a soldier was the acting President of the USSR, Supreme Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of the USSR, Supreme Legislator of the USSR, Supreme Judge of the USSR - Sergei Vyacheslavovich Taraskin. The first necessary Decrees were issued. And now the USSR is being revived, in fact, and every day more and more people are returning to it. And you can return to the USSR by submitting applications in the prescribed form and attaching the necessary supporting documents. What awaits you after your return? - notification to the 4th branch of the illegitimate government of the Russian Federation about your transfer to the jurisdiction of the USSR; - notification of lower-level illegitimate organizations about your refusal to pay taxes, repay loans with interest, serve in the Russian army, etc. — setting financial, resource, territorial, housing, legal requirements for the Russian Federation on the basis of an international audit and the laws of the USSR with our help and (or) individually at your request. This is your completely legal right and neither the UN nor the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation can challenge it. Recommendations for action for Citizens of the USSR (how to build a legal fence around yourself and your family): 1) Self-identification of your true citizenship and non-recognition of other jurisdictions on the territory of the USSR, except for the jurisdiction (constitution and laws) of the USSR. Confirmation of your USSR citizenship. 2) Training in the legal foundations of self-defense in the territory of the USSR occupied by illegitimate structures.

Scandals

In February 2020, the Anti-Corruption Policy Center of the Yabloko party (ACP) discovered a contract according to which the Russian Pension Fund (PFR) will spend 27 million rubles on business trips for employees in 2020 without bidding.[22] In May 2020, the FAS confirmed violations when the Pension Fund spent 150 million rubles on employee business trips.[23]

Since mid-2020, on the basis of its internal letter (signed by the Deputy Chairman of the Board Liliya Ivanovna Chizhik), the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation has been refusing to provide monthly additional financial support (330% of the social pension) to laureates of the Russian Government awards who retire and stop working . As a result, they find themselves in significantly worse material conditions than the laureates who applied for the bonus earlier and are still receiving it. There were lawsuits initiated by the affected pensioner laureates. Most of them were won[24][25].

Efficiency and efficiency

The Russian Pension Fund ranks first in the world in terms of the number of employees: 121,670 people. For example, the number of employees of the Social Security Administration in the United States is more than two times smaller, and the population of the United States is more than twice that of Russia, and the volume of pension and social benefits is almost nine times larger. In Japan, with a population similar to Russia, Nihon Nenkin Kikou employs 27 thousand people, of which only 15 thousand work on a permanent basis[26].

Professor of the Department of Finance and Prices of the Russian Economic University. G.V. Plekhanova Yulia Finogenova noted that the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation has extremely limited obligations to inform its participants, for example, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation did not have the obligation to inform clients about possible losses of investment income when changing insurers, as a result, in some years, up to 90% of transitions turned out to be premature, and therefore unprofitable[27]. Due to the lack of full information to the insured person about the loss of investment income, even those who decided to transfer from the Pension Fund of Russia (PFR) to non-state pension funds (NPFs) were “silent” [28] who lost out on an early transfer, since they could have done this with the preservation of income no earlier than 2020 [29].

The Pension Fund is also known for its involvement in a scandal involving illegal transfers of pension savings from the Pension Fund to NPFs.

In August 2020, against the backdrop of a discussion of the Draft Law on Pension Reform in Russia, which envisages an increase in the retirement age, Boris Titov, Commissioner under the President of the Russian Federation for the Protection of the Rights of Entrepreneurs, drew attention to the fact that one of the main reasons for the lack of funds for paying pensions in Russia is exorbitant and senseless expenses for the maintenance of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. The business ombudsman considered the infrastructure of the fund to be costly and unnecessary in the context of the development of information technology, and proposed transferring the functions of the Pension Fund to the Russian Treasury and Multifunctional Centers (MFC). In 2020, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation employs more than 110 thousand officials to maintain the pension accounts of Russians, the buildings it owns are the most luxurious in all republican capitals and regional centers, and about 1.5% of all pension savings of Russians are spent annually on servicing the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation itself (this is tens of billion rubles). Numerous buildings of the Pension Fund throughout Russia, according to this action plan, should be transferred to the ownership of the constituent entities of the Federation for the organization of centers for training older people in new qualifications. Such measures will allow the state to free up significant reserves for paying pensions without increasing the retirement age[30].

Since the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is a state institution, currently all PFR buildings belong to the Federal Property Management Agency[40].

Certificate of status of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was formed in accordance with Resolution of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR dated December 22, 1990 No. 442-1 “On the organization of the Pension Fund of the RSFSR” for the state management of pension finances in the RSFSR.

This resolution determined the status of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation as an independent financial institution operating in relation to the Law of the RSFSR “On Banks and Banking Activities in the RSFSR” and reporting to the Supreme Council of the RSFSR (in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers - Government of the Russian Federation dated 22 September 1993 No. 958 “On the transfer of organizations and institutions to the jurisdiction of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation”, it was established that the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is under the jurisdiction of the Council of Ministers - the Government of the Russian Federation and is accountable to it).

Resolution of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR dated December 22, 1990 No. 442-1 also established the provision that the Fund’s funds are not included in the republican budget of the RSFSR, other budgets and funds and are not subject to withdrawal. Later, this norm was provided for in all regulatory legal acts regulating the activities of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Thus, funds intended for pension provision were allocated from the state budget to the independent budget of the RSFSR Pension Fund (while remaining state property).

It should be noted that this resolution also established the amount of social insurance contributions obligatory for payment by all enterprises and organizations, regardless of their form of ownership and subordination.

Under the previous system, when funds intended to finance the payment of state pensions were part of the state budget, it was possible to borrow these funds for other state needs (in addition to pension payments), which negatively affected the financial sustainability of the pension system, that is, the ability The pension fund maintains the existing level of solvency in the event of possible adverse external and internal impacts on financial flows.

With the establishment of autonomy of the pension budget, the Fund's income ceased to be included in the budgets of other levels, a step was taken towards insurance principles and increasing the efficiency of the state pension system in the Russian Federation, and the foundations were laid for achieving long-term financial sustainability of this system.

During the period that lasted from the formation of the Fund until January 1, 1992, the Pension Fund of the RSFSR carried out its activities on the basis of the Temporary Regulations on the Pension Fund of the RSFSR and the Procedure for the payment of insurance contributions by enterprises, organizations and citizens to the Pension Fund of the RSFSR, approved by a resolution of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR dated January 30, 1991 No. 556-1, which established provisions similar to the provisions of Resolution of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR dated December 22, 1990 No. 442-1.

On January 1, 1992, in accordance with the resolution of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation of December 27, 1991 No. 2122-1 “Issues of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (Russia)” the Regulations on the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (Russia) and the Procedure for payment of insurance contributions by employers and citizens to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (Russia).

These documents also contained provisions on the status of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, according to which the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was an independent financial and credit institution, and its funds were in the state ownership of the Russian Federation and were not included in budgets or other funds and were not subject to withdrawal.

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was entrusted with the responsibility to ensure the collection and accumulation of insurance contributions necessary to finance the payment of state pensions.

According to the above-mentioned regulatory legal acts, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation carried out functions related exclusively to the financial component of the pension system (collection of insurance contributions, their accumulation, control over the receipt and expenditure of funds, etc.).

The Pension Fund of the Russian Federation financed the payment of pensions, and the functions of assigning and paying pensions were performed by social protection authorities.

In this regard, it is worth mentioning the Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of May 29, 1993 No. 787 “On the management of pension provision in the Russian Federation”, according to which the intervention of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and its branches in the operational activities of social protection bodies and the transfer of functions to it the appointment and payment of pensions were considered unacceptable.

At the same time, there was a situation when the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation carried out not only financing, but also the assignment and payment of state pensions (within the framework of a unified pension service). Initially, a unified pension service, as an experiment in accordance with the Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation dated July 6, 1992 No. 3209-1, was created in the Moscow region on the basis of the branch of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Moscow region with the transfer to its composition of units of the Main Directorate of Social Security protection of the population of the Moscow region and the services subordinate to it in the cities and districts of the Moscow region, which were involved in the assignment (recalculation) and payment of pensions and benefits. By Resolution of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation dated May 11, 1993 No. 4940-1, the results of the experiment were approved and it was decided to prepare, including with the participation of the Government of the Russian Federation, proposals for organizing a unified federal pension service in the Russian Federation and submit them for consideration by the Supreme Council Council of the Russian Federation.

Later, by Decree of the President of the Russian Federation of September 27, 2000 No. 1709 “On measures to improve the management of state pensions in the Russian Federation,” the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation was assigned powers to pay state pensions.

It should be noted that this Decree of the President of the Russian Federation was the subject of consideration in the Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation and was recognized as not contradicting the Constitution of the Russian Federation.

The Constitutional Court of the Russian Federation, in its resolution of June 25, 2001 No. 9-P on this issue, indicated that the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation essentially performs the functions of an insurer that carries out the operational management of compulsory (state) pension insurance funds and ensures the appointment and timely payment of state pensions. Consequently, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is endowed with public authority to ensure the constitutional right to a state pension, including the authority to assign these pensions.

The publication of Decree of the President of the Russian Federation dated September 27, 2000 No. 1709 laid the foundation for the formation of the current status of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation as an insurer of compulsory pension insurance.

On January 1, 2002, the implementation of pension reform began in the Russian Federation. For these purposes, a number of legislative acts were adopted aimed at transforming the pension system. These documents also touched upon issues of the status of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Federal Law No. 167-FZ of December 15, 2001 established that the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation is an insurer of compulsory pension insurance, and determined the organizational and legal form of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation as a legal entity - a “state institution”. According to Article 5 of the Federal Law, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and its territorial bodies constitute a single centralized system of bodies managing compulsory pension insurance funds in the Russian Federation, in which lower-level bodies are accountable to higher-level ones.

At the same time, the Regulations on the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation (Russia), approved by Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation of December 27, 1991 No. 2122-1, are valid to the extent that they do not contradict this Federal Law.

It should be noted that the presence of a centralized system is a distinctive feature of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in comparison, for example, with the compulsory health insurance system, in which territorial compulsory health insurance funds are included in the structure of the executive authorities of the constituent entities of the Russian Federation.

The system of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation and its territorial bodies has a three-level structure:

• central office (Executive Directorate of the Pension Fund of Russia, Audit Commission of the Pension Fund of Russia);
