Rumors that the second pension for the military will be canceled from January 1, 2019, arose after the Ministry of Finance carried out an analysis of this benefit. Until the end of 2018, it was decided to freeze the pension of retired defenders of the homeland. The measures, according to the Government, are associated with the deterioration of the economy due to a new wave of sanctions.

Indexation and receipt of a "second" pension benefit

Servicemen expect the indexation of second pensions in early 2019. The government has postponed the resolution of the issue of indexing basic military benefits until the beginning of the second half of the economic half of 2019. It is known that only certain categories of the military will be able to receive a second pension benefit.

Many servicemen find jobs after entering civilian life at the age of 45. A military pensioner participates in the OPS system, transfers contributions to the Pension Fund through an official employer, therefore, he is entitled to a second pension, in addition to deductions from the Ministry of Defense. This is enshrined in Federal Law No. 400.

The military can count on the second benefit if they have fulfilled a number of conditions.

1. Registration with the FIU.
2. Availability of insurance experience obtained in an official job. From 2019, the compulsory work experience will increase from 9 to 10 years, by 2024 it will be 15 years. The length of service may be less if the citizen worked in hazardous conditions or in the Far North.
3. Reaching retirement age. The indicator changes taking into account working conditions.
4. Accumulation of individual retirement points. In 2019, the minimum will increase from 13.8 to 16.2 points. Until 2025, the required number will be 30 points.

If a citizen receives benefits from the Ministry of Defense for disability or seniority, earns a "civil" pension, then the amount of financial receipts will double. Mild conditions are provided for the military who have been exposed to man-made harmful effects or who have received a disability in the service. Such people will receive subsidies before the age of 55 and 60.

The procedure for calculating the second pension of a soldier

The second pension has been accrued since 2015, after the law "On Insurance Pensions" was issued. To calculate the benefit, the formula is applied:

The cost of one point was 81.49 rubles in 2018. The more points accumulated by the former military, the higher the size retirement benefits... To increase the amount of points, you can extend the insurance period or strive to increase the salary.

The military insurance pension differs from the civilian allowance: it does not include a fixed payment ( 4 982,90 rub.). The system is not entirely fair, since with an equal amount of points, a civilian will receive insurance pension more than a former military man due to the presence of a fixed increase.

Despite this, many citizens express dissatisfaction with the double benefits due to military pensioners. However, it must be remembered that military personnel defended in wartime and peacetime. In fact, the payment turns out to be a small and well-deserved length of service and work activity.

What will happen to military pensions from January 1, 2019?

The resolution of the issue was postponed by officials until the beginning of the second half of the economic half of 2019. But it is known that they are planning to change the principle of accrual: instead of "Length of service" introduce "social package" ... This is perceived negatively by citizens. After the introduction of the social package, they promise to pay severance pay to the military who retired when they were young.

Under the current system, the pension is provided for 20 years of service. The introduction of a social package will allow those citizens who, due to health or circumstances, were forced to end their military career, receive a pension.

The cancellation of the pension threatens that the retired military will have to look for work in civilian life. Adapting to normal life after several years of service is difficult. Citizens will receive a lump sum payment, but this will not solve the problem. Some of them will find work at universities and undergo professional retraining.

Seniority pensions from January 1, 2019

Officials planned an increase in military seniority pensions from 2012 to 2023.

For example, an increase in the pension of a regiment commander was planned to 35,769 rubles, a lieutenant colonel - up to 24,897 rubles, an ensign - up to 14079 rubles. This calculation was carried out with a stable GDP growth.

Now the sanctions have come into effect, the cost of energy resources is not growing. According to economists, GDP growth in 2019 will not meet forecasts and will amount to only 1.4%. Foreign investors wishing to invest in the opening of production in Russia do not have the opportunity to do so. Thus, the government loses the ability to keep promises.

Thus, servicemen will have to be content with the assigned allowance, since workers in other areas will receive a pension only upon reaching the established age.

What did the president say about the pension of servicemen?

Before the elections, the president emphasized that people defending the Motherland should receive special support from the state so that they do not need anything. Vladimir Putin spoke about the representatives of the power structures in general. But, despite the promises, the planned annual indexation of benefits paid to the military was suspended. The base coefficient, which has been used for calculating pensions since 2017, remains at 72.23%.

Opinion of deputies on payments to military pensioners

The profile committee of the Duma, responsible for defense, actively opposed the freeze. To maintain correct payments, it was necessary to index by 5.2% in line with real indicators. Some members of the committee openly stated that the government completely ignored the order to increase payments to military personnel.

But the bill still got into the Duma. The discussion was active, the project was sent for revision several times. The number of votes required for adoption was gained after 3 readings. The document came into force.

Will the changes affect working military pensioners?

No information has been received about changes in tariffs for working military pensioners. Today they receive state benefits and wages. But, according to Dmitry Medvedev, the state will not be able to pay pensions to citizens who receive income. Therefore, it is possible that soon the working military will have to choose either an allowance or a salary.

What to expect for retired retirees?

The benefits will not be canceled for current pensioners, even if the planned law is adopted, it will not affect them. Of course, citizens who have reached the age of 65 will not be deprived of their benefits by the state in order to send them to work.

In case of cancellation, all worries about the employment of the former military will be entrusted to the state. For this category of citizens, jobs are not provided. The education of the majority of military personnel is specific. At the same time, they lack skills in pedagogy, economics, finance and other areas. Professional retraining and obtaining new education will become very problematic with a shortage of places in educational institutions.

Consequences of Government Decisions

Reducing the amount of state support for military personnel lowers the authority of the Russian army, reduces the attractiveness of military professions.

The military pension is paid to employees of the Ministry of Defense, employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Ministry of Emergency Situations, FSB and other "siloviki". If early pensions are canceled, the proposed "severance" benefit may last for 1-2 years, but most likely less. During this time, you will have to adapt to life in civilian life and find another job.

The government plans to save about 500-700 billion rubles a year on reform. What do experts say about innovation?

• According to some experts, the abolition of pensions will not happen, since it is unprofitable for the state, and there will be a crisis in the power structures. Military units, criminal bodies, employees of the Department of Internal Affairs have a lot of weight in the structure and politics of Russia. They will not support the new law.
• A number of experts believe that the wave of talk about the complete abolition of benefits has been provoked so that employees can calmly take the decision to "freeze" pensions.

The possible cancellation of pensions is a pressing issue.

For example, in India, only civil servants receive pensions. In Russia, the abolition of pensions for the military is not worth waiting for, so the Government proposes to carry out indexing by increasing the length of service.

Change in the duration of military service

The option of increasing the length of service of servicemen from 20 to 25 years, possibly, will solve the problem of increasing benefits. Extending the required service life will help offset the cost of indexing. There will be an increase in the average benefit amount while the number of individual benefits decreases. In addition, increased seniority will reduce overall staffing requirements.

The term of 20 years is planned to be left for military personnel with disabilities, employees with an age limit for serving. This pension reform is planned for 2019.

Conclusion

The government will not abolish the second pension for military personnel, but the conditions for receiving it will become more stringent. From 2019, the compulsory work experience will increase from 9 to 10 years, by 2024 it will be 15 years. The required size of individual pension points for obtaining a second pension will also increase. In 2019, the score bar will increase from 13.8 to 16.2 points. Until 2025, the required number will be 30 points.

Indexation of pensions for working pensioners: latest news

The increase in the amounts of pensions for military pensioners is carried out in accordance with Art. 49 of the Law.

In relation to other categories of pensioners not specified in Art. 1 of the Law (for example, for conscripts), the indexation procedure established in Art. 25 ФЗ № 166, that is, from 1 April. each year, taking into account the growth rate lived. minimum.

For persons referred to in Art. 1 of the Law, indexation is carried out on 2 grounds:

• January 1 of each year - as planned;
• unscheduled - when the salary of the corresponding employees of law enforcement agencies increases.

Will there be an increase in 2019

On December 29, 2019, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Tatyana Shevtsova announced that in 2019-2020 the financial allowances of servicemen and pensions for citizens who have resigned from law enforcement agencies will be indexed.

Indexation will be done at 4%, 1 time each specified year:

• 1 jan. 2019;
• 1 oct. 2019;
• 1 oct. 2020 year.

For these purposes, the federal budget has already provided 18, 22.6 and 41.2 billion rubles, respectively.

Taking into account these increases, a retired officer with a special military rank of lieutenant colonel will receive a pension in 2020 by an average of 2,956 rubles higher than in 2019 - before indexation.

All older people are worried about the indexation of pensions in 2018 - the latest news on this issue has already appeared in the media. It will affect all categories of pensioners, with the exception of those who work. The amount of the allowances will be determined by the state of the Russian economy.

How will the indexation of pensions be carried out?

News on this topic cannot be unequivocally evaluated. The good news is that officials do not refuse such measures. But at the same time, they do not hide the fact that there is practically no money in the Pension Fund. Therefore, it is unlikely that the income of older people will grow significantly in the coming years.

According to preliminary data, the indexation of pensions in 2018 will be 5.8%.

At the same time, it is planned to revise pension payments upward once a year. There is also information that funded part pension savings the government plans to freeze.

What is the reason for the minimum indexation of pensions?

It is already clear that the authorities are going to save significantly on pension payments. For instance, indexation of pensions in 2018 for working pensioners is canceled altogether(it is renewed only from the 1st day of the month following the termination of labor activity). The rest of the categories will receive a minimal increase on February 1.

The modest size of indexing measures is explained by the budget deficit. The planned measures are necessary in order to overtake inflation, but in last years it turns out to be very high. The law provides for additional adjustment of pension payments in such cases. In general, it can be assumed that pensions will grow 2 times slower than before.

Will the pension be canceled?

In addition to the indexation of pensions in 2018, The State Duma and the society is actively discussing the issue of their cancellation for working pensioners. According to the law, only those citizens who have a total annual income of more than 1 million rubles can lose these payments. With indicators below this figure, the pension will remain the same and will be charged in the same amount.

Its average size in 2018 will be 13,894 rubles, and the increase will be equal to 762 rubles.

At the same time, experts believe that the purchasing power of pension payments will significantly decrease due to the large increase in prices. Therefore, inflation will "eat" them within two years. It is enough to analyze the prices for buckwheat, pasta and rice, which are mainly consumed by the elderly in Russia. Prices for seasonal vegetables, which also form the basis of their diet, look no less threatening.

What will happen to pensions for the military?

The military is also interested in whether there will be an indexation of pensions in 2018. The law provides for an increase in military pension payments, but it will not occur in full. Budget cuts as a result of the downturn in the economy led to a reduction in spending on social sphere... The amount of payments will be determined by the salary of the military who are serving in the army. Retirees can also look forward to boosting their income. But the law on the indexation of pensions in 2018 excludes a 2% allowance. Pension payments for the military will be made for the length of service.

The salaries of servicemen will remain at the same level. They will not be revised until 2018. The size of pension payments will also not change significantly. With a positive GDP growth, one can count on a full indexation. Under the new law, military pensions can also be received by those people whose work experience in law enforcement agencies is at least 20 years. Work at any civilian facility after the end of military service will allow you to receive an insurance premium.

The planned indexation of military pensions in 2018 will largely depend on inflation and foreign policy factors. According to the latest news, it can be concluded that government payments to this category of the population will be approximately 1.7 times higher than that of all other Russian citizens.

What will the indexation of pensions give?

Despite the planned increase in retirement incomes, the standard of living of older people will decline. This was stated by the Minister of Labor and Social Security Oksana Dmitrieva. This measure, in her opinion, will only allow fixing the existing standard of living of pensioners.

At the same time, the old-age pension in 2018, the indexation of which is planned at 5.8%, still looks quite decent in times of crisis. This is due to the stagnation of the economy, a decrease in wages and, accordingly, deductions to Pension Fund... At present, the incomes of pensioners exceed the budgetary capacity, especially since their number will soon be greater than the number of working people.

The main type of pensions in Russia is old-age insurance payments. The reduced indexation of such government payments planned in 2018 and previous years and the government's refusal to increase pensions for working pensioners may lead to social tension, but not to budget savings. Some State Duma deputies think so. Cuts in social spending will definitely be accompanied by a worsening of the living conditions of a large number of people. But the refusal to increase pension contributions to working pensioners will save 150 billion rubles, so the government has already called this measure anti-crisis. Moreover, indexation will be charged again if old man leave his job.

Many military personnel Russian Federation who have retired, are interested in the question of whether military pensions will be indexed from October 1, 2018? Do legislators plan to increase funding, and to what extent? The last significant recalculation was carried out in 2012. For 6 years, the dynamics of growth in food prices amounted to almost 40%, so the previous indexation against the background of this picture seems insignificant.

The final amount of the monthly cash payment depends on the rank of the conscript, the retired reserve, and the position he previously held. Additional compensation for special working conditions may be added to the principal. If during the service a person becomes disabled, a special coefficient is applied.

On January 1, 2018, a document entered into force in the State Duma, providing for an increase in monthly deductions for former military servicemen by 5 times compared with recalculations in 2012. There is no need to wait for the indexation and increase of military pensions from October 1, 2018. It was carried out in January this year by 3.7%, and the salaries of active military personnel increased by 4%.

According to the latest news from lawmakers, the next recount is only planned for 2019 and 2020. Monthly pay for citizens who previously worked in the military departments and retired, will increase by 4% only from October 1, 2019. These data came from the Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Tatyana Shevtsova. The next indexation, if there are no other amendments, is planned for October 1, 2020. It will also be 4%.

Plans for the future

According to the information received from Tatiana Shevtsova, the program "Effective Army" is being implemented this year. It provides for a competent distribution of funding, raising funds to support military pensioners and working military personnel. It is planned to increase the amount of payments to retired military personnel up to 2 living wages. People with disabilities who were previously liable for military service now receive 16 thousand rubles. At the stage of discussion is the question of an annual two-percent indexation of all military pensions after 2018 in Russia for those who are already retired, but the lack of a budget so far hinders the adoption of such decisions.

Attention! It is planned to increase the length of service from 20 to 25. That is, a person liable for military service in order to retire will need to have 25 years of experience, but so far such a bill is only at the stage of development.

With next year 2.7 million former military personnel will be indexed. These are firefighters (who are equated with the military), employees of the Armed Forces, the National Guard. Employees of the FSO are also expecting an increase in pensions, intelligence agency, FSB. The size of their military monetary subsidies is influenced not only by seniority and length of service, but also by work in difficult conditions and the presence of a disability.

What to expect for military pensioners with insurance experience

At the end of his service, a military pensioner can continue to work in civilian life. He is eligible for age-related military benefits if:

• have reached retirement age;
• has a minimum experience of 9 years;
• earned the necessary points (for 2018 this is 13.8 points).

For such a retired soldier, the indexation of insurance payments was carried out in January 2018. It was 3.7%. As for the former military personnel employed in commercial structures, it is planned to postpone the recalculation of their insurance amounts until the beginning of 2019.

If an employee, in addition to military service, has earned a long experience in another position, he is entitled to pension payments not only from the Ministry of Defense, but also from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. To do this, he must reach the retirement age for receiving a civil pension and have the necessary points. If there is no reliable data on these points, and the commercial employer did not pay contributions to the Pension Fund for his employee, he is not entitled to a state pension, but only to payments from the Ministry of Defense.
