Is group 3 disability included in the total length of service?

Disabled people in Russia are classified as a disabled category of citizens in need of financial support. They cannot ensure a normal quality of life due to physical disabilities that do not allow them to carry out work activities in full.

To what extent they are fixed, what documents are needed to receive benefits, what length of service should be required to apply for an insurance pension for the disabled, is detailed in this material.

Features of the definition of disability in Russia in 2020

Citizens with disabilities are divided, according to legal requirements, according to medical criteria into three categories, depending on the level of dysfunction. The first category is assigned to those who cannot take care of themselves without outside help, the third - for minor deficiencies in which the citizen can carry out limited work activities.

The degree of disability is determined by a special medical commission based on a conclusion adopted collectively. Initially, a citizen turns to a local doctor to receive referrals to specialists. They order tests and conduct the necessary examinations. After receiving a comprehensive package of documents on the state of health, a commission is appointed. Based on the results of its implementation, a conclusion is made.

Depending on the state of health, that is, the assigned disability group, a list of benefits and benefits is determined at the expense of the state. In particular, a disability pension is awarded. To determine it, you must have a minimum work experience.

General work experience: what is it and what does it include?

• Temporary disability;
• The period of unemployment, if the citizen is registered at the labor exchange;
• Time for a government employee to move to another settlement;
• Detention;
• Being with a spouse who served in military service under a contract for no more than 5 years;
• Living abroad with a spouse who is a citizen of a Russian institution;
• Staying under occupation during the Second World War;
• Life in Leningrad during the siege.

It means the time a person works in production, in a special industry, in a climatic territory where the right to additional future benefits . They are paid to citizens only in special cases.

Classification of pensions by disability category in the Russian Federation in 2020

Persons who have been assigned a disability group based on a decision of an authorized medical collegial body can count on one of the types of pensions. Each of them has certain criteria. These include:

Forum of Chernobyl victims

The Judicial Collegium for Civil Cases of the Stavropol Regional Court, consisting of presiding Minaev E.V., judges Muratova N.I., Kononova L.I., with Secretary B., having considered in open court the case on the appeal of the head of the Main Directorate of the UPF of the Russian Federation for Kochubeevsky district of the Stavropol Territory G. on the decision of the Kochubeevsky District Court of the Stavropol Territory dated March 3, 2020 in a civil case regarding P.’s statement of claim against the State Administration of the UPF of the Russian Federation for the Kochubeevsky District of the Stavropol Territory on the inclusion of the period of being on disability in the total length of service, having heard the report of Judge Muratova N .AND.,

P. filed a lawsuit against the Main Directorate of the UPF of the Russian Federation for the Kochubeevsky District of the Stavropol Territory to include the period of disability in the total length of service, which indicated that he P. took part in the liquidation of the consequences of the accident at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Since March 30, 1993, he has been the recipient of a disability pension of the 2nd group of general illness, and since February 9, 1994, a disabled person of the 2nd group with an 80% degree of loss of professional ability due to injury received while performing other military service duties, associated with disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. With subsequent re-examination of health status, disability group 03/16/1999 2nd with 80% degree of disability, disability group 03/16/2004 2nd with 80% degree of disability 03/02/2009 2nd with 80% degree of disability indefinitely. The work continued until August 15, 1997. Further labor activity was carried out from 12/01/1998 to 12/31/1998; 01/07/2000 and 03/15/2000 for one day of work. From the moment his disability group was established, he was assigned and paid a disability pension on the basis of RF Law No. 340-1 of November 20, 1990 “On State Pensions in the Russian Federation” and Art. 29 of the Law “On social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl disaster.” Since July 30, 2012 he has been a recipient of an old-age pension. When determining the amount of his old-age pension, the Pension Fund employees did not include in his total length of service the periods of his being in the 2nd disability group from 08/16/1997 to 11/30/1998, from 01/01/1999 to 01/06/2000, from 01/08/2000 to 14/03 .2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001 and amounted to 4 years 03 months 10 days, and therefore believes that the amount of the pension is set at an underestimated amount. When applying to the State Administration of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the Kochubeevsky District of the Stavropol Territory to include the specified period of being on disability in his total work experience, he was refused, which resulted in a violation of his rights. In accordance with Article 29 of the Law of the Russian Federation of May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant”, citizens specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 of part 1 of Art. 13 of this Law (where it applies) guarantees the appointment of a disability pension due to the Chernobyl disaster, including those established before the entry into force of this Law, in accordance with the Law of the RSFSR “On State Pensions in the RSFSR” as a pension due to a work injury or occupational disease. This version of clause 1 of Article 29 of the Law of the Russian Federation of May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 lost force due to the entry into force of the Federal Law of July 18, 2006 N 112-FZ, by which clause 1 of Art. 29 of this Law is set out in a new edition, the effect of which is extended to legal relations that arose after 01/01/2002, by virtue of which it is provided that persons who became disabled as a result of the Chernobyl disaster are guaranteed a disability pension as a pension due to a work injury or occupational disease (clause 1 Article 29 of the Law of the Russian Federation dated May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 (as amended on November 24, 1995 N 179-FZ) From section III 1.1 Instructions of the Ministry of Social Protection of the Russian Federation “On the procedure for assigning (recalculating) pensions to citizens affected by the Chernobyl disaster, in accordance with the Law of the Russian Federation of June 18, 1992 “On amendments and additions to the RSFSR Law “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl disaster” dated November 10, 1992 N 1-98-U, it follows that in accordance with the instruction letter of the Ministry of Social Security RSFSR dated 04.08.1988 N 1-69 And “On the procedure for determining an occupational disease caused by an event at the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant” by workers and employees, the disease of workers and employees caused by exposure to ionizing radiation during the operation of the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and the liquidation of the consequences of the accident in the resettlement zone should be considered occupational. A disability pension of the second group was assigned to him in March 1993; when an old-age pension was assigned in 2012, as stated above, the period of being on disability in group 2 was not included in the total length of service, according to the above period, the length of which is 4 years 03 months 10 days. According to paragraphs 3, 4 of Art. 30 Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”, total length of service is understood as the total duration of labor and other socially useful activities until 01/01/2002, which includes, among other things, the period of disability of groups 1 and 2 received as a result of injury associated with production or an occupational disease. A similar rule is provided for in paragraph “a” of Art. 92 of the Law of the Russian Federation N 340-1 of November 20, 1990 “On state pensions in the Russian Federation,” which was in force at the time I was first diagnosed with disability (March 1993) and until January 1, 2002. Article 39 of this law provides that disability due to a work injury is recognized as a disability that occurs as a result of an accident that occurred while performing government duties, as well as tasks of Soviet or public organizations, the activities of which do not contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation. According to paragraphs 9, 10 of Article 30 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173 “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”, when assessing the pension rights of insured persons, the procedure for calculating and confirming work experience, including experience in relevant types of work, is taken into account, which was established for the appointment of recalculation of state pensions before the date of entry into force of this law - 01/01/2002. The period of being on disability of the first and second groups, received as a result of an injury associated with production or an occupational disease, is equivalent to the work at which the specified injury or disease was received. Certificates from VTEC and ITU determined the cause of his disability as an injury related to the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. At the Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant, he performed work in new, especially harmful working conditions, not provided for in the employment contract of the enterprise where he worked, with significantly changed working conditions without concluding a separate contract. According to the explanation dated January 27, 1993 No. 1 “On the procedure for determining the amount of actual damage for establishing a pension for military personnel who became disabled as a result of the Chernobyl disaster, and their families in the event of the loss of a breadwinner,” approved by the Resolution of the Ministry of Labor of the Russian Federation dated January 27, 1993, No. 9, “Amount actual damage for the establishment of pensions for military personnel and persons equivalent to them in terms of pension provision, persons of command and rank and file of internal affairs bodies, state security, civil defense, military personnel called up for special training and verification training, sent and seconded to work to eliminate the consequences of a disaster in Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant and at the same time performing military service duties (official duties), who became disabled as a result of the Chernobyl disaster, and their families in the event of the loss of a breadwinner as a result of the Chernobyl disaster is determined by the Rules for compensation by employers for damage caused to employees by injury, occupational disease, or other damage to health associated with performance of their labor duties, approved by the Resolution of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation of December 24, 1992 N 4214-1", the legislator recognizes such concepts as “disability resulting from an injury associated with production or an occupational disease” and “disability due to a military injury” equivalent for inclusion in the total length of service when determining the pension calculation period. Based on the foregoing, he believes that he does not receive a pension due to the fault of the defendant, in accordance with paragraph 2 of Art. 23 of the Federal Law “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”, it must be collected for the past time without limitation by any period and paid taking into account the amount recalculated after including the period of disability in the total length of service. Based on the above, the court asked: 1. To oblige the State Institution - the Office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Kochubeevsky district of the Stavropol Territory to take into account his total work experience, P. the period of being on disability of the 2nd group for the period: from 08.16.1997 to 11/30/1998, from 01/01/1999 to 01/06/2000, from 01/08/2000 to 03/14/2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001, which is 4 years 03 months 10 days. 2. To oblige the State Institution - the Office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Kochubeevsky district of the Stavropol Territory to recalculate the old-age pension from July 30, 2012, taking into account the inclusion in the total length of service of the period of being on disability of the 2nd group, the length of which is 4 years 3 months 10 days, to pay debt for lost pension without time limit. By the decision of the Kochubeevsky District Court of the Stavropol Territory dated March 3, 2020, P.’s claims were satisfied. The court ordered the State Institution - the Office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Kochubeevsky district of the Stavropol Territory to take into account P. the period of being on disability of the 2nd group for the period: from 08.16.1997 to 11.30.1998, from 01.01.1999 to 06.01 .2000, from 01/08/2000 to 03/14/2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001. The court ordered the State Institution - the Administration of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation in the Kochubeyevsky district of the Stavropol Territory to recalculate P.'s old-age pension from July 30, 2012, taking into account the inclusion in the total length of service of the period of being on disability group 2 from 08/16/1997 to 11/30/1998, from 01/01/1999 to 01/06/2000, from 01/08/2000 to 03/14/2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001 and to pay the arrears for the lost pension without a time limit. In the appeal, the head of the Main Directorate of the UPF of the Russian Federation for the Kochubeevsky District of the Stavropol Territory, G., asks the court to cancel the decision as illegal and unfounded, decided in violation of the norms of substantive and procedural law and without taking into account the circumstances relevant to the case. After checking the case materials and discussing the arguments of the appeal, the judicial panel comes to the following conclusions. In accordance with Art. 327.1 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, the appellate court considers the case within the limits of the arguments set out in the appeal and objections to the complaint. In resolving the stated claims, the court of first instance reliably and correctly established the factual circumstances relevant to the case and correctly applied the provisions of the current legislation governing controversial legal relations. In accordance with Art. 56 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, the content of which should be considered in the context of the provisions of paragraph 3 of Art. 123 of the Constitution of the Russian Federation and Art. 12 of the Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, which establishes the principle of adversarial civil proceedings and the principle of equality of parties, each party must prove the circumstances to which it refers as the basis for its claims and objections, unless otherwise provided by federal law. According to paragraphs 3, 4 of Art. 30 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”, total length of service is understood as the total duration of labor and other socially useful activities until January 1, 2002, which includes, among other things, the period of being on disability Groups I and II, resulting from work-related injury or occupational disease. A similar rule was provided for in paragraph “a” of Art. 92 of the Law of the Russian Federation N 340-1 of November 20, 1990 “On state pensions in the Russian Federation”, which was in force at the time the plaintiffs were diagnosed with disability for the first time and until January 1, 2002. As established by the court of first instance and follows from the case materials, P. is disabled as a result of the liquidation of the consequences of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant. Since March 30, 1993, he has been the recipient of a disability pension of the 2nd group of general illness, and since February 9, 1994, a disabled person of the 2nd group with an 80% degree of loss of professional ability due to injury received while performing other military service duties, associated with disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, which is confirmed by the certificate of a person who suffered radiation sickness or other diseases associated with radiation exposure and became disabled N 001683 dated 10/27/1996. The court also established that from the moment the 2nd disability group was established, the plaintiff was assigned and paid a disability pension on the basis of RF Law No. 340-1 of November 20, 1990 “On State Pensions in the Russian Federation” and Art. 29 of the Law “On social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the Chernobyl disaster.” Since July 30, 2012, the plaintiff has been a recipient of an old-age pension. When determining the amount of the old-age pension, the periods when the plaintiff was in the 2nd disability group for the period from 08/16/1997 to 11/30/1998, from 01/01/1999 to 01/06/2000, from 01/08/2000 to 03/14 were not included in the total length of service. 2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001 (4 years 03 months 10 days). According to the response of the Office of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation for the Kochubeevsky district of the Stavropol Territory dated November 25, 2015 N 02-46/74, after his appeal, P. received a refusal to include in his total work experience the period of being on disability of the 2nd group for the period from 16.08. 1997 to 11/30/1998, from 01/01/1999 to 01/06/2000, from 01/08/2000 to 03/14/2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001 (4 years 03 months 10 days). Satisfying the stated requirements, the court of first instance rightfully proceeded from the fact that, in accordance with Art. 29 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant” dated May 15, 1991 N 1244-1, citizens specified in paragraphs 1 and 2 of part one of Article 13 of this Law are guaranteed a disability pension and a disability pension in the event of the loss of a breadwinner as a result of the Chernobyl disaster, including those established before the entry into force of this Law, in accordance with the Law of the RSFSR “On State Pensions in the RSFSR” as pensions due to a work injury or occupational disease. By virtue of Art. 92 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On State Pensions in the Russian Federation” dated November 20, 1990 N 340-1, periods of disability of groups I and II due to injury associated with production or an occupational disease are included in the total length of service along with work. Article 39 of this Law provides that disability due to a work injury is recognized as a disability that occurs as a result of an accident that occurred during the performance of government duties, as well as tasks of Soviet or public organizations, the activities of which do not contradict the Constitution of the Russian Federation. Edition of paragraph 1 of Art. 29 of the Law of the Russian Federation “On the social protection of citizens exposed to radiation as a result of the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant” dated May 15, 1991 N 1244-1 became invalid due to the entry into force of the Federal Law dated July 18, 2006 N 112-FZ, of which clause 1 Art. 29 is set out in a new edition, the effect of this edition is extended to legal relations that arose from 01.01.2002. Thus, during the disputed period that the plaintiff was on disability, the state equated disability due to an injury received while performing other military service duties in connection with the Chernobyl accident to disability due to a work injury. Considering that Articles 6 (Part 2), 15 (Part 4), 17 (Part 1), 18, 19 and 55 (Part 1) of the Constitution of the Russian Federation, by their meaning, imply legal certainty and the associated predictability of legislative policies in the field of pension provision, necessary to ensure that participants in relevant legal relations can reasonably foresee the consequences of their behavior and be confident that the right acquired by them on the basis of current legislation will be respected by the authorities and will be implemented, the specified periods of the plaintiffs being on disability were subject to inclusion in the total length of service when assigning an old-age pension. A similar legal position is set out in the Ruling of the Supreme Court of the Russian Federation dated May 20, 2005 N 42В04-14. Having assessed all the evidence presented in its totality and interrelation, according to the rules of Art. 67 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, based on the specific circumstances of the case, the above-mentioned norms of legislation governing controversial legal relations, the court came to a reasonable conclusion that the plaintiff’s demands for inclusion in the total length of service of the period of his being on disability of the 2nd group from 08/16/1997 to 11/30/1998 , from 01/01/1999 to 01/06/2000, from 01/08/2000 to 03/14/2000, from 03/16/2000 to 12/31/2001 (4 years 03 months 10 days), since VTEC certificates determined the cause of the plaintiff’s disability as a disease associated with an accident at Chernobyl NPP, in turn, until 01/01/2002, a disability pension due to the disaster at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant was considered a pension due to a work injury (occupational disease). Due to the requirements of Art. 23 of the Federal Law of December 17, 2001 N 173-FZ “On Labor Pensions in the Russian Federation”, a labor pension (part of the old-age labor pension) not received by a pensioner in a timely manner due to the fault of the body providing pensions, is paid to him for the past time without limitation in what way -or for a period of time. In this regard, the court of first instance, having established that on the day the right to receive an old -age pension and include in the work experience of the plaintiff, all the necessary grounds had, reasonably, by his decision, he obliged the defendant to recalculate the retirement and pay debt. The arguments of the appeal can not be the basis for the cancellation of the court decision, since they were the subject of consideration of the court of first instance, do not refute the court’s conclusions and do not contain stipulated by Art. 330 of the Code of Civil Procedure of the Russian Federation, grounds for canceling or changing the decision of the court in appeal, and in addition, they are aimed at a different interpretation of the rule of law and evaluate the evidence obtained by the court, the proper assessment of which was given in the decision of the court of first instance, with which the judicial collegium agrees. The Judicial Collegium has no grounds for a different legal assessment. Violations of substantive law and civil procedure legislation entailing the abolition of the decision have not been established in the case. In such circumstances, the court decision is legal and justified and there are no grounds for its cancellation. Guided by Art. Art. 328 - 329 Civil Procedure Code of the Russian Federation, Judicial Collegium

Disability retirement age in 2020 in the Russian Federation

In 2020, the law on pension reform comes into force in Russia. According to amendments to the law on the appointment of state support, the age of citizens of the Russian Federation for entering a well-deserved retirement by age has been increased. It will be 65 years for men and 60 years for women. The age for receiving financial assistance from the state due to the age limit will be increased gradually, with a frequency of 1 year.

Important: these changes and amendments to the laws in no way affected the requirements of the law on disability. Benefits from the state are determined in the case of persistent loss of health in an assigned group, resulting in disability.

Disability can be of the following types:

• The first group – entails permanent loss of ability to work, incompatible with the implementation of work activities. A citizen cannot take care of himself without outside help; he is assigned a legal representative, guardian or trustee who helps him with movement and solving legally important issues. There is no ability to communicate independently. Social functions are limited, adaptation to society is required. A disabled person has difficulty moving in space.
• The second implies severe health damage that prevents full work activity, with the exception of cases assessed as exceptional.
• The third one involves a partial loss of the ability to work; a citizen can continue to work if the activity is not limited by doctors.

Important: all types of pensions are subject to indexation every year, insurance is subject to upward changes twice a year. A pension for disabled people of 3 categories does not imply serious restrictions. Pensions for disabled people in 2020 were indexed on February 1 and April 1, depending on the type.

Insurance experience

When identifying periods that should be counted when calculating a person’s accumulated insurance experience, it is necessary to rely on Art. 11 and Art. 12 of Law No. 400-FZ. Experience can be formed by individuals both when they are employed within the territorial borders of the Russian Federation and in other countries (in cases provided for by international treaties, or if contributions were paid to the Pension Fund). The main criterion is the availability of insurance premium payments.

Starting from 2020, the insurance period for retirement must be at least 10 years (in 2020 this figure is 9 years). Gradually, by 2024, the minimum required length of service to apply for an old-age pension will be increased to 15 years.

Monthly cash payment (MAP) for disabled people of groups 1, 2 and 3 in 2020 in the Russian Federation

The procedure for providing financial support is regulated by Federal Law No. 122 dated Federal Law of June 21, 2010 No. 122-FZ. The benefit was first defined in 2004 and became known as cash compensation. The transfer of funds is carried out by order of the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation through branches of the Russian Post, social service bodies or divisions of the Pension Fund of Russia.

There is no need for a disabled person to undergo an examination. To receive funds, it is enough to apply to the Pension Fund, the branch at your place of residence. Money is credited to your personal account.

In 2020, the indexation of payments for disabled pensioners was carried out on February 1, 2020. The increase was 4.3%. From this date, the amounts of the monthly allowance for various categories of citizens in need of financial support due to health conditions are provided for the following amounts of payments:

• Group 3 – RUB 2,177.44;
• Group 2 – 2,720.07 rubles;
• 1st group – RUB 3,808.77

The amount of payments is established by federal and regional regulations. Most of the funding may be allocated to local authorities from the regional budget. Every year, a larger volume of funds is transferred to the disposal of branches of the Russian pension system.

Is maternity leave included in the length of service?

Let’s take a more clear look at an example of whether maternity leave to care for a child is included in the length of service and how to calculate it when assigning pension payments. Let's say a company employee raised two children. She used all of her maternity leave for three years with each child. Let's say twenty-five years passed between hiring and retirement. Usually this can be determined from the work book, or by ordering the appropriate certificate from the archive.

Such leave can be granted for a maximum of three years, but the mother has the right to go to work earlier by writing a corresponding application to the employer. This type of vacation is divided into two equal parts. One is paid partially, the second is at the discretion of the employer.

Calculation of pensions of various categories for disabled people in 2020 in the Russian Federation

Each type of pension benefit to which persons with a confirmed disability group may qualify has its own system for calculating payments. It consists of the following points:

Social pensions for 2020 in Russia are set in the following amounts:

• Group 3 – RUB 4,403.24;
• Group 2 – 10,360.52 rubles;
• 1st group – 12,432.44 rubles. A pension is paid in the specified amount for disabled people of group 2 if a complex health condition has been established since childhood.

Important: insurance pensions are calculated based on a formula taking into account the basic payment. For 2020, its size is 5,334.19 rubles. Annual indexation is associated with inflation and a corresponding increase in prices for consumer goods. On April 1, an increase in the social pension is provided and on February 1 – in the daily allowance and insurance pensions.

Insurance experience of disabled people

• If applying for a pension is made by mail, then the date of sending the letter indicated on the postmark will be the date of application. • If the application is made through the MFC, then this date will be the date the application is received by the specialists of this center.

As for the insurance period, its duration does not matter when determining the right to this type of pension. Even if there is at least one day of service for which the employer transferred insurance payments to the Pension Fund, this is enough to establish such a pension.

The procedure for registering the right to pension provision for disabled people in 2020 in the Russian Federation

The procedure for obtaining the right to state pension provision for disabled people consists of going through the following steps:

1. Contact your local doctor to obtain certificate No. 088/u-06 to undergo an examination.
2. Passing all narrow specialists within the framework of medical and social examination, passing all tests and studies.
3. Appeal to the ITU territorial commission, where evidence is provided of the presence of a certain disease, which entails the appointment of a disability group and payment of financial support from the state.
4. Submitting a conclusion to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation on the payment of a social pension.
5. Passing the re-examination procedure to confirm the disability group. For disabled people of group 1, it is carried out twice a year, for people with disabilities of group 2 - every year. For some injuries, they are not prescribed if restoration of body functions is impossible due to physical disabilities.

After passing the commission, in addition to the ITU conclusion, the citizen is given a rehabilitation program. For group 1, it is also possible to appoint a guardian and trustee - mother, father or legal representatives based on the decision of the guardianship council. Restorative measures are prescribed on an individual basis with the goal of restoring normal health. For example, this could be treatment in a sanatorium, undergoing certain physiological and therapeutic procedures.

What is included in general work experience?

1. The period when one of the parents provides constant care for the child until he reaches one and a half years old. It should be taken into account that there is a limit - no more than four and a half years in total for each of the parents. It is important that previously, until January 1, 2020, the length of service included a period of no more than three years. Consequently, with an increase in this period, the amount of labor pensions, which was established before January 1, 2020, is subject to recalculation.
2. The period of temporary disability during which payments for compulsory social insurance (sick leave) were received.
3. Service in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and equivalent to it.
4. The time when a citizen was in custody or in prison due to unjustified criminal prosecution.
5. The period when a citizen is registered with the employment service and receives unemployment benefits.
6. The period of participation in public works that are subject to payment.
