Early retirement

In total, there are 22 professional categories that give the right to the early appointment of an old-age insurance pension, but subject to the availability of the necessary experience in the relevant types of work. For example, if you are a tractor operator, then you need to work on a tractor for 15 years. In addition, a benefit pension is granted under certain social conditions.

Old age insurance pension

An old-age insurance pension in Russia can be assigned before reaching the generally established retirement age (55 years for women, 60 years for men). Certain categories of citizens have this right.

Of the 22 preferential occupational categories, 12 give a five-year discount when men retire at 55 and women at 50. This includes, first of all, work with difficult working conditions.

Sometimes adjustments are made to it (as well as to List No. 1, which is discussed below) on the basis of decisions of the Ministry of Labor or the Supreme Court. However, for the most part, it remains unchanged, and for 25 years it has been used to determine who in Russia is entitled to an early retirement pension.

Two other types of work activities allow only women to retire at 50. The first type of work is tractor drivers in rural areas or in other sectors of the economy, as well as drivers of construction, road and loading and unloading machines. The second is employment in the textile industry in jobs with increased intensity and severity. Drivers of buses, trolley buses, trams, both men and women, who work on regular city passenger routes, can also retire five years earlier.

Length of service

The same Decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR dated January 26, 1991 No. 10 approved a list of jobs with especially difficult working conditions - "List No. 1 of industries, jobs, professions, positions and indicators in underground work, in work with especially harmful and especially difficult working conditions, employment in which gives the right to a retirement pension (old age) on preferential terms".

The list includes professions that give the right to early retirement 10 years earlier than the generally established retirement age: men at 50, women at 45. At the same time, men must have a general insurance (labor) experience - at least 20 years, of which work experience in the relevant types of work with especially difficult conditions - at least 10 years; for women, the obligatory general work experience is 15 years, of which 7 years 6 months are especially difficult working conditions. What kind of work is this? Construction of mines, mines, open-pit mines; extraction of natural resources containing hazardous substances of 1–3 hazard class; control over the production of ferrous metals in hot areas and the like.

Only one type of work, not included in this list, makes it possible to retire 10 years earlier for men (for women - 5 years earlier) - this is work in the state fire service. Moreover, there are no requirements for general work experience, only work experience in the fire service is required - at least 25 years for men and women.

And there are eight types of jobs that allow you to retire even earlier than 10 years. This is due to the fact that these professions are not required neither for the retirement age, nor for the compulsory work experience - you only need years of service in the relevant specialty. So, rescuers of professional emergency rescue services, men and women, are enough to retire at least 15 years of experience in the relevant types of work. If you are employed in the rescue service at the age of 18, then already at the age of 33 you can apply for early retirement.

In such preferences in the civil service, only Russians who carry out creative activities on stage in theaters or in theater and entertainment organizations can compare with rescuers (although not all). Regardless of their age, they can become retired early if they have the necessary experience in the relevant types of work - at least 15-30 years, depending on the nature of their creative activity. Whatever the nature of the artist's activity, but if he makes the viewer go through catharsis with his play every time, then he has every right to become not only an honored artist, but also an honored pensioner at any age, whenever he wishes.

8 professional categories that give the right to retire regardless of age

Types of jobs	Retirement age	Required length of insurance	The required experience in the relevant types of work

When determining the right to an insurance pension in the "northern" regions, the List of regions of the Far North and equivalent areas is used, which was used in the appointment of a state old-age pension in connection with work in the Far North as of December 31, 2001.

For those who have worked for at least 15 years in the Far North or for at least 20 years in equivalent areas and have the necessary experience for an old-age pension, the age set for early assignment of an insurance pension is reduced by five years. Thus, the legislation for such citizens provides for a "double" reduction in the age for the appointment of the specified pension. For example, if you have the necessary insurance experience and length of service in the relevant types of work, work experience in the Far North for at least 15 years or in equivalent areas for at least 20 years, an early retirement pension can be assigned:

in connection with employment in underground work, in work with harmful working conditions and in hot shops - upon reaching 45 years for men, 40 years for women (if they have been involved in these works for at least 10 years and 7 years 6 months, respectively, and have insurance experience of at least 20 and 15 years, respectively);

• Law 1032-1.
• Federal Law No. 173-FZ.
• Federal Law No. 167-FZ.

The above list is not exhaustive, since preferential retirement is associated with various kinds of circumstances that must be taken into account when granting a person the right to benefits. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account the recommendations and instructions issued by ministries and departments, as well as regulatory legal acts granting privileges to pensioners of a certain constituent entity of Russia.

General requirements for the purpose of payment

Early retirement implies the fulfillment of a number of conditions:

• Age. Russian legislation, in contrast to the practice used in other countries, establishes a differentiated age of retirement for men (60 years) and women (55 years). Representatives of some professions and categories of citizens are entitled to receive pension benefits of previously specified values.
• Insurance experience. A certain number of years established by law, during which the employer had to deduct insurance contributions from the employee's earnings. According to the latest changes, the value will increase in one-year increments until it reaches 15 by 2024. In 2018, the minimum length of service is 9 years.
• Labor. The time during which a person worked under an employment or civil contract. This takes into account the time spent on military service, being on sick leave, the period of being registered with the Employment Service, parental leave until the child reaches one and a half years of age.
• Special - for seniority in certain professions and positions, which is necessary for the appointment of an early retirement pension in 2018.
• Individual pension coefficient. The amount that directly affects the amount of the payment received. When transferring contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the amount of money is converted into points according to a special formula, which are summed up when going on a tinned rest, and then multiplied by the cost of the PKI (the value is indexed annually).

According to the reform of the pension legislation in 2018, the age of retirement will not change - the previously adopted norms will remain unchanged. Other indicators that affect the amount of allowance will undergo changes:

	Insurance experience requirement	Minimum IPK amount	Maximum annual score
			When forming an insurance pension	When forming insurance and funded pensions

Who is eligible for early retirement

Back in 1932, the age was determined according to which a person had the right to leave work, having gone on a well-deserved rest. Since that time, nothing has changed, if you do not take into account the methodology for calculating payments to the elderly. At the same time, special attention is paid to people who perform work in difficult conditions or are exposed to excessive physical exertion. Some work in contact with harmful or hazardous substances. In addition to the additional payment for harm to the salary, they have the right to go on vacation earlier.

Social categories of citizens

Today, there are legislatively defined groups of the population who are entitled to retire early in 2018, and in this case, not their work experience is taken into account, but the social status in society:

• mothers with many children;
• guardians or one of the parents of children with disabilities or invalids from childhood;
• some categories of the unemployed;
• representatives of small indigenous peoples of the Far North, engaged in subsistence farming;
• midgets;
• disproportionate dwarfs;
• visually impaired people with assigned group 1;
• persons who have become disabled after receiving a military injury;
• mothers of 2 or more children who worked in the High North.

In case of staff reduction or liquidation of an enterprise

Citizens of pre-retirement age who have been laid off have the right to apply for the accrual of allowances earlier. The age of the citizen is considered an important aspect. He must remain less than 2 years old before the date of the right to retire. Women are allowed to retire at 53, while men are allowed to retire at 58.

In addition to age restrictions, other requirements must be met:

• The reason for the dismissal should be a reduction in the number of personnel at the enterprise or its complete liquidation.
• Availability of 20 years of service for women and 25 years of service for men (for some categories of citizens there may be other, preferential conditions).
• A person who has been laid off must be unemployed, registered with the Employment Service, and the exchange itself must not have vacancies that would suit a person in accordance with his specialty or qualifications.

You can lose the right to assign an early payment if the employee:

• Twice he refused employment in specialties suitable for him.
• Has offenses that have caused the termination or reduction of payments.

Employees of preferential professions

The list of preferential specialties is an approved list of professions that are entitled to certain preferences. The basis for their compilation is the level of exposure to the body of harmful factors that arise during the production process. Allocate List No. 1 and List No. 2. They were approved in 1991 by the decree of the Cabinet of Ministers of the USSR No. 10 to determine the professions of people who have the right to go on vacation ahead of schedule.

The procedure for using the Lists at the present stage is established by the Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 665 (07.16.2014), in accordance with the provisions of Article 30 of Law No. 400-FZ. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, citizens whose labor activity falls under these conditions are entitled to additional leave, shorter working hours and other privileges. For an ordinary citizen, it is difficult to understand what the difference is between them, since the professions are repeated in them. The difference lies in the degree of harmful influence of production factors on the human body:

• List # 1 - especially dangerous and difficult conditions;
• List No. 2 - harmful and difficult conditions (less hazard to health compared to List No. 1).

In short, both lists give a citizen the right to preferential social and pension benefits. Among the professions and positions should be highlighted:

• nuclear power workers;
• workers of the chemical industry;
• geological prospectors, search engines;
• miners;
• persons working in underground structures;
• flight crew and civil aviation workers;
• persons employed in road transport;
• military personnel;
• workers with radioactive substances;
• women who worked with high intensity or operated heavy machinery;
• persons who worked in workshops with high temperatures;
• doctors and other medical staff;
• workers of metallurgical production;
• railway workers;
• teachers;
• persons with especially difficult working conditions;
• workers in the aviation industry;
• public transport drivers;
• workers of sea and river vessels;
• penal service officers
• reindeer herders;
• emergency workers;
• creative and theatrical figures.

Early appointment of a pension in 2018

Some categories of citizens who do not belong to the Lists with hazardous and harmful working conditions can also issue early payments for old age in 2018. It is important to distinguish between early retirement and the opportunity to receive social benefits. If for the first it is mandatory to have a certain insurance and work experience, then social benefits can be assigned even when a person has never worked. At the same time, social benefits have a size approved by the government, while the amount of payments depends on the experience gained.

For mothers with many children

For those women who have raised five or more children under the age of 8, the state offers the opportunity to go on a well-deserved rest ahead of time. To do this, you must be at least 50 years old and have 15 years of work experience at an official place of work. For those women who do not meet the above criteria, only social benefits are accrued.

The only exceptions are made up of the fair sex, who gave birth to two or more children, but worked in the North. To go on a well-deserved rest, they must reach the 50th anniversary. Their total length of service under an employment contract must be at least 20 years, and 12 of them they had to work in the regions of the Far North or 17 in areas equated to such territories.

Disabled people and their caregivers

The state is trying in every possible way to help people with disabilities, but it does not forget about those citizens who inspect them. If a family has a disabled child or a disabled child from childhood, one of the parents is entitled to an early retirement pension in 2018, but subject to two conditions:

• reaching 55 years of age and having 20 years of service for men;
• reaching the 50th anniversary and 15 years of experience in women.

Citizens who are guardians of a disabled child under 8 years old also have preferences on an equal basis with legal parents. Every 18 months of examination of an incapacitated child gives them the right to go on vacation one year ahead of schedule. There are restrictions, so guardians cannot leave earlier than five years before the due date. An additional condition is that they must be officially employed, and the minimum insurance experience for men is limited to 20 years, and for women 15.

To the unemployed after being laid off

During the first two months after dismissal, a person receives an average monthly salary according to the last place of employment. If he has not found a job, then he has the right to register at the employment center and receive unemployment benefits. When a man has reached the age of 58, and a woman is 53, representatives of the labor exchange can send an offer to issue an old-age allowance, if the person has the necessary work experience. An early pension in 2018 is issued only with the consent of the unemployed and is compensated from budget money.

For health

Upon assignment of 1, 2 or 3 groups of disability or health problems, a person has the right to receive pension payments. When registering allowance, the time of the onset of incapacity for work and its causes are not taken into account. It does not take into account whether the disabled person is currently working or not. The only condition that is necessary for the appointment of a retirement pension is the existence of an insurance experience, and its duration does not matter. This means that even one working day will be enough for a person with disabilities if a deduction was made from the salary in the FIU.

In addition to early disability pension in 2018, a monthly fixed allowance is due, the amount of which depends on the category of disability and the regional coefficient (the indicator is determined in each constituent entity of the Russian Federation separately). When submitting an application for registration of allowance, it is imperative to provide a conclusion of a medical and social examination, and the next re-examination should be carried out annually for disabled people of groups 2 and 3 and once every 2 years for disabled people with the first category.

Benefits tables

Provided that a person's work activity is associated with hazardous, harmful or difficult working conditions that belong to Schedule 1 and Schedule 2, he can apply for early retirement. He needs to work at least half of the time required to retire on these lists. In order to take advantage of this prerogative, you must additionally have the required amount of pension points and a certain length of service. The generally established retirement age is reduced in proportion to the length of service available.

Retirement age of persons working in hazardous conditions

Payments in 2018 according to List No. 1 may be assigned earlier than the age required by law. Reduction of the retirement age for men working in especially dangerous conditions is determined by the table below:

For women:

Calculation for employees on Schedule 2

According to the official information provided on the PFR website, people working with harmful and difficult working conditions, which are included in List No. 2, also have the right to retire early. Early pension in 2018 for men will be accrued according to Schedule 2:

For women:

Reducing the retirement age for workers in the Far North and equivalent regions

In 2018, citizens who worked in the Far North or in areas that are legally equated to them are entitled to take a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule. The duration of the required working period depends on the natural and climatic conditions. For those who worked in the most extreme regions of the north, fewer years of employment are required than for citizens who worked in an area equated to the RCC.

To receive the so-called "northern pension", certain conditions must be met:

An early payment can be made out with a decrease in the retirement age in proportion to the available length of service, but this requires working at least 7 and a half years in the regions of the Far North. For every 12 months of employment in the RCC, the retirement age is reduced by 4 months:

Experience, years	Age, number of years and months
15 and more

How to retire early

In 2018, an increase in the age of retirement is not planned, although talk about this periodically arises. This should be expected in the near future, especially since the increase in the age for retirement has already affected civil servants and every year they are added six more months. An additional catalyst is the economic crisis, the consequences of which have not yet been eliminated.

An early pension in 2018 is assigned only in rubles to any person, regardless of gender, age and period of employment. In this way, the state provides support to citizens who, for whatever reason, cannot continue to work. To receive the same insurance pension allowance, you need to fulfill a lot of conditions, which have already been mentioned above.

When and where to go

In order for the allowance in 2018 to be appointed on time, the procedure should be taken up in advance, especially since the initiative must come from the citizen himself. To do this, you need to contact one of the authorities:

• local branch of the FIU;
• Multifunctional Center;
• hR department at the last place of work.

At the initial stage, you should contact a specialist of the selected body for advice. He will tell you what documents need to be prepared. It is recommended to do this six months before going on vacation in order to avoid delays in the appointment of pension payments. The application itself must be submitted at least one month before the moment the right to receive allowance becomes available.

Statement

Russian legislation has established an official application form for the appointment of a pension allowance. It can be downloaded from the official website of the PFR or obtained from the very branch of the PFR or the MFC. Only the future pensioner himself has the right to fill out the application. A legal representative can also do this, but he must have a valid notarized power of attorney. If you wish, you can submit an application through the user's personal account on the Internet portal of the Pension Fund.

It is not allowed when filling in corrections and strikethroughs - this may become a reason for refusing to accept documents. Since the application form has an established form, you will need to indicate:

• The name of the territorial branch of the PFR.
• Last name, first name and patronymic (if any) of the person who applies for allowance.
• SNILS.
• Citizenship. If a person is a citizen of another state, it is necessary to indicate "Foreign Citizen".
• Place of residence, registration and contact phone number.
• The name of the identity document, its number, series, by whom and when it was issued.
• If the application is submitted by a legal representative, indicate all similar information about him.
• Note whether the person is currently employed or not.
• If there are dependents on the maintenance, indicate their number.
• Indicate the type of pension allowance that the citizen is counting on.
• If a person has previously received pension payments, this fact must be indicated.
• List the documents that are attached to the application.
• Date, sign and decipher it.

List of common documents

In addition to a correctly completed application, to consider the possibility of receiving pension payments, you must provide documents confirming the right. The main ones will be required:

• passport (for citizens of the Russian Federation);
• Residence permit (for foreigners);
• SNILS;
• documents confirming the availability of the required experience;
• a statement of monthly wages for any 60 consecutive months prior to January 1, 2002. Data on average monthly wages for 2000-2001 that were provided by former employers or from the FIU information systems may be considered.

This list is not exhaustive, as each application is considered individually. For this reason, it may be necessary to provide confirmation of additional circumstances that have arisen. A citizen can submit the collected package of documents in several ways:

• In person, when visiting a branch of the FIU in the region or the MFC.
• Via postal service. To do this, papers are sent by registered mail with a list of existing attachments.
• Through a legal representative. In this case, a notarized power of attorney is required.

List of documents for confirmation of benefits

An early pension in 2018 is assigned only upon presentation of documents confirming the right to receive it:

• pensioner's ID;
• certificate of the presence of dependents;
• address information;
• birth certificates of children;
• confirmation of guardianship (adoption);
• certificate of family composition;
• documentary evidence of work on Schedule 1 or 2 or labor activity in the RCC or equivalent territories (work book, certificates, personal cards from the personnel department, extracts, etc.).

Terms of consideration and appointment of early payment

The legislation gives 10 days for consideration of the petition and making a decision. The countdown is carried out from the moment of submission of documents. In case of refusal, the PFR employees are obliged to notify the citizen about this within five days. If, for some reason, a person could not provide all the necessary papers, he is given three months to correct this situation. Provided that during this period the documentation was submitted, the appointment of the pension allowance is counted from the date of submission of the documents or according to the postmark on the envelope if the papers were sent by mail.

Monthly receipt of funds for their own maintenance is issued upon reaching a certain age and completing work experience. However, there are some exceptions; in particular, the right to early retirement. What categories of citizens have the opportunity to receive early cash payments? How to retire early? All these questions will be answered in detail in the article.

general characteristics

Unfortunately, not all citizens have a sufficient legal culture. That is why many working people are not aware of some of the nuances of the current legislation governing the right to early retirement. All benefits, rights, additional payments and many other important legal elements are enshrined, first of all, in the Labor Code of the Russian Federation. But in addition to it, it is also worth highlighting a large number of Government decrees and regulations (in particular, the Federal Law on assessing labor conditions). All presented normative acts regulate the following concept.

Early retirement pension (article 27 of the Federal RF ") is a direct connection with the professional activity of a particular person, carried out under specific working conditions or agreed upon by certain social norms.

Thus, a person carrying out his labor activity in production with unusual working conditions has the right not only to various kinds of benefits, but also to early payments. At the same time, the profession should be really "harmful": the full list of difficult jobs was approved by the Council of the Minister of the USSR, but it has not practically changed to this day. Who retires early? This will be discussed further.

Early retirement pension: who is eligible?

An early retirement pension is called the option of receiving monthly payments, in which the onset of the permitted age will take place in no more than 2 years. Persons who are unemployed at the Russian employment center, as well as those who have relevant work experience (20 years for females and 25 years for males), can apply for such a pension. Accordingly, early retirement pension in the Russian Federation is issued only for those persons who meet the above criteria.

The presence of harmful or difficult working conditions in work invariably entails the possibility of receiving an early pension. Physical or psychological stress is considered to be harmful working conditions, and more recently, work in the Far North. Russian legislation establishes the possibility of obtaining the so-called reduced work experience. It is thanks to him that it will be possible to receive early pension payments.

Separately, it should be noted that the working person has some serious illnesses. If the continuation of the work activity is impossible for health reasons, then an early retirement pension can be issued only on condition that a special medical certificate is submitted to the employment center.

List of harmful professions

If an employee carries out his labor activity at work with harmful labor characteristics, then the possibility of early retirement increases significantly. What kind of professions fall under the category of "harmful"? Since Soviet times, a classification has been preserved that allows you to accurately determine the severity of labor. So, there are four levels of professional activity:

The issuance of each such degree is possible only if attention is paid to the following points:

• increased dust content in the air, the presence of dirt;
• poor quality lighting;
• loud noises;
• harmful radiation;
• work with harmful microorganisms, viruses, bacteria, chemicals, etc .;
• increased vibrations;
• high level of humidity;
• too low or too high air temperature;
• the duration of stress in work activities and much more.

One more classification comes from all the criteria presented: list 1 - these are professions with a critical degree of harmfulness, and list 2 - certain types of heavy professions and positions. Both of these lists can be easily found on the official website of the Ministry of Labor.

Categories of citizens

Federal Law of the Russian Federation No. 400 contains more than 20 clauses, which indicate both the conditions for retirement and some professions in which one can apply for early retirement. What exactly is worth highlighting here? Here are some of the specialties specified in the law:

• railway workers;
• search engines and geological prospectors;
• miners;
• public transport drivers;
• workers of river and sea vessels;
• aviation workers;
• rescue workers;
• persons working underground (miners, underground workers, etc.);
• penal workers (prison officials);
• teachers;
• community doctors;
• theatrical figures and some other workers.

Among other things, special categories of citizens are distinguished here:

• (raising more than five children);
• visually impaired;
• persons injured as a result of hostilities;
• dwarfs and midgets;
• workers of the Far North.

An early pension can be issued for all of the above persons. At what age is retirement possible? This will be discussed further.

Conditions for registration of an early retirement pension

How to get an early one First, you should pay attention to the following conditions:

If the relevant conditions are met, it is worth paying attention to the contents of the so-called lists 1 and 2, which were mentioned above. So, a woman belonging to the list of list 1 is entitled to a pension upon reaching 53 years of age, with a total work experience of 15 years. In this case, the duration of work in hazardous production should not be less than seven years. In accordance with list 2, a woman can apply for a pension from the age of 45. At the same time, work experience should not be less than 20 years.

What do the lists say about male workers? According to list 1, a man who has reached 50 years of age can apply for a pension accumulating 20 years of experience. Schedule 2 sets the minimum age of an employee at 55 years and 25 years of work experience (12 under harmful conditions).

Thus, it can be issued not by all persons, but only by those that meet the above criteria.

Early retirement pension in the Russian Federation: registration procedure

What actions need to be taken to register early retirement benefits? To begin with, it is worth contacting the local Employment Center with the appropriate application. There they will give you a document that you will need to fill out. The authority will definitely help you to arrange the paper with high quality. Within a month, the Employment Center will provide the citizen with an answer - with the consent to carry on further work or with a justified refusal.

What should be submitted to the Employment Center besides the application? As a rule, these should be the following documents:

• passport and its photocopy;
• military ID;
• birth certificate of a child (if the employee has children);
• original and copy of the work book.

Also, the Employment Center can request the following papers:

• certificate of dependents;
• address application (about the place of residence);
• disability certificate;
• certificate of upbringing of a child under the age of eight;
• family composition document;
• certificate or certificates of guardianship.

The body can also request many other certificates - for example, individual documents from work. It is very important to correctly and correctly draw up all the papers, check the presence of seals and signatures.

Citizen rights

The question of how to retire early is regulated by many Russian federal laws. What are the rights of a citizen who has retired early?

A citizen is able to demand from his employer all the necessary documentation necessary for transfer to an employment center or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. Moreover, the employer of the enterprise must confirm the preferential length of service of the employee. If the employer for some reason does not do this, then such a task is entrusted to the relevant state body.

As soon as an employee receives an insurance pension certificate, all information about his "movements" will be taken into account by the Russian Pension Fund.

It is also worth giving the classic formula for calculating early retirement pension:

SP \u003d PC * C * K + FV * K

• ФВ - basic payment;
• С - the cost of one coefficient at the time of registration of the pension;
• PC is the total amount of earned pension-type coefficients;
• K - increasing indices to PV.

The preservation of the right to early assignment of a retirement pension is available to all persons who have correctly drawn up the necessary papers at the Employment Center and the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Reduction or liquidation of an enterprise

It is not uncommon for an employee of pre-retirement age to suddenly lose his job. The reason for the layoff can be in the organization, the elimination of jobs and much more. Naturally, practically no organization expresses a desire to hire a person who has very little time left until retirement. The situation, I must say, is very uncomfortable, and often completely hopeless. Still, a citizen wants to "finish off" his seniority, but there are no opportunities for this. What to do in such situations? Here it is just worth asking yourself the question of how to retire early. The first thing to do is to compare your indicators with those necessary for premature payments, to compare the past working conditions with the necessary "harmful". When do you retire early? As already mentioned, men should not be less than 58 years old, and women should not be less than 53 years old. The following conditions must also be met:

• dismissal from work was built only due to staff reduction or the liquidation of a workplace (one's own desire and medical indicators are not taken into account);
• the presence of a certain length of service (25 years for men and 20 years for women);
• the citizen is in the employment service;
• there are no suitable vacancies on the labor exchange.

If citizens have offenses that led to the termination of social benefits, then one should not expect an early retirement.

Can they refuse?

Quite often, the Employment Center or the Pension Fund of Russia deny citizens an early retirement pension. As a result, applicants have to go to the courts, and resolve cases there. Naturally, such examples illustrate the unsatisfactory level of state protection of citizens' rights to receive pensions. Still, it is worth giving the main reasons for refusing early retirement. Here you need to highlight:

What should be done if a refusal was received from the named authorities? How to retire early no matter what? There is only one way out - to contact higher authorities. In the same Pension Fund a complaint is made; all necessary documents must be attached to it. The complaint will be considered within a month. If a refusal comes again, then there will be only one way out: to appeal to the courts of general jurisdiction. It will be necessary to draw up an appeal against the refusal.

Features of registration of a pension

For both working and unemployed citizens, there are some features of registration of a pension. A working citizen should remember the following:

• the employer is obliged to pay severance pay for a two month period;
• payments from the previous job will stop if the citizen registers as unemployed.

Unemployed citizens, on the other hand, should remember that full work experience gives them the opportunity to receive subsidies. At the same time, each year, worked over the top of the total length of service, gives the right to an extension of state support for two weeks. If a citizen becomes an individual entrepreneur or a legal entity, then the receipt of early pensions is terminated until the closure of this status.
