Women's retirement. Preferential pension for harmfulness and length of service

18.09.2019

Working all their lives, people hope to receive a decent allowance in old age. According to Russian law, all citizens are entitled to pension payments from the state. Since the working conditions are different for everyone, the size of the pension varies depending on the profession and length of service. Some specialties additionally provide an opportunity for early retirement, and you can take advantage of this opportunity for a number of reasons.

What is early retirement

The Russians acquire the right to go on a well-deserved rest for various reasons, including at their own request. Some categories of citizens, due to their professional activities and social factors, according to the law, have the right to go on vacation earlier than the legally established general terms:

at the age of 60 - for men;
upon reaching the age of 55 - for women.

Preferential (early) pension is a monetary allowance that can be paid to a person who has not reached the generally established retirement age, but who has a work experience in a particular specialty or a certain social status designated by law. Certain requirements must be met in order to receive payments:

Professional activity. A person has the right to early retirement if he or she works in hazardous or difficult conditions and his work may pose a particular danger to health and life.
Special territorial conditions. Citizens who work in the regions of the Far North or other territories that are traditionally equated with them go on a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule.
Social. The right to early retirement benefits under the law relies on people who have a certain social status. These include mothers with many children, residents of the regions of the Far North, leading a traditional way of life, the disabled, and dwarfs.

Legal regulation

Russian pension legislation is constantly being transformed in order to become more perfect and, if possible, take into account the needs of all groups of the population, regardless of gender and age. At the federal and regional levels, various regulatory legal acts are adopted, the effect of which is aimed at improving the life and increasing the satisfaction of people who have gone on a well-deserved rest, the rules for indexing allowances. Of the main documents, it is worth highlighting:

The Constitution of the Russian Federation.
Labor Code of the Russian Federation.
Federal Law No. 400-FZ.
Federal Law No. 166-FZ.
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 circumstances that must be taken into account when granting a person the right to a benefit. Additionally, it is necessary to take into account the recommendations and instructions issued by ministries and departments, as well as legal acts that provide privileges to pensioners of a certain subject 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, sets a differentiated retirement age for men (60 years) and women (55 years). Representatives of certain professions and categories of citizens are entitled to receive pensions of the previously indicated values.
Insurance experience. A certain number of years, established by law, during which the employer had to deduct insurance premiums from the employee's earnings. According to the latest changes, the value will increase in increments of one year until it reaches 15 by 2024. In 2018, the minimum insurance period is 9 years.
Labor. The time during which a person worked under an employment or civil law contract. This takes into account the time spent in the army, being on sick leave, the period of being registered with the Employment Service, leave to care for a child until he reaches one and a half years of age.
Special - according to the length of service in certain professions and positions, which is necessary for the appointment of an early pension in 2018.
Individual pension coefficient. A value that directly affects the amount of the payment received. When transferring contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, the amount of money according to a special formula is converted into points, which, when going on a tinned vacation, are summed up and then multiplied by the cost of the IPC (the value is indexed annually).

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

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

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 older people. At the same time, special attention is paid to people who work in difficult conditions or are subjected to excessive physical stress. The work of some consists in contact with harmful or dangerous substances. In addition to the surcharge for harmfulness to the salary, they have the right to go on vacation earlier.

Social categories of citizens

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

mothers of many children;
guardians or one of the parents of children with disabilities or disabled since childhood;
certain categories of the unemployed;
representatives of small indigenous peoples of the Far North engaged in subsistence farming;
midgets;
disproportionate dwarfs;
visually impaired with assigned group 1;
persons who became disabled after receiving a military injury;
mothers of 2 or more children who worked in the Far North.

In case of staff reduction or liquidation of the enterprise

Citizens of pre-retirement age who have fallen under the reduction have the right to apply for the accrual of allowances earlier. An important aspect in this case is the age of the citizen. He must be less than 2 years old before the date of the right to enter a well-deserved rest. 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 dismissal should be a reduction in the number of personnel at the enterprise or its complete liquidation.
The presence 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 listed as unemployed, registered with the Employment Service, and there should not be any vacancies on the exchange itself that would suit a person in accordance with his specialty or qualifications.

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

Twice refused employment in suitable specialties.
Has faults that caused the termination or reduction of payments.

Beneficial workers

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 impact on the body of harmful factors that occur 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 applying the Lists at the present stage is established by Decree of the Government of the Russian Federation No. 665 (07.16.2014), in accordance with the norms of Article 30 of Law No. 400-FZ. According to the Labor Code of the Russian Federation, citizens whose work 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 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 harsh conditions
List No. 2 - harmful and severe conditions (less hazardous to health compared to List No. 1).

In short, both lists entitle a citizen to preferential social and pension benefits. Professions and positions include:

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

Early retirement in 2018

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

For mothers of many children

For those women who have raised five or more children under the age of 8, the state offers the opportunity to take a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule. To do this, you must reach the age of 50 and have 15 years of work experience in the official place of work. For those women who do not meet the above criteria, only a social pension is accrued.

The only exceptions are the fair sex, who gave birth to two or more children, but worked in the North. To enter a well-deserved rest, they must reach the 50th anniversary. Their total length of service under an employment contract should 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 does not forget about those citizens who inspect them. If a child with a disability or disabled since childhood is brought up in a family, one of the parents is entitled to an early pension in 2018, but subject to two conditions:

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

Citizens who are guardians of a disabled child under 8 years of age also have preferences on a par with legal parents. Every 18 months of inspection for a disabled 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 period for men is limited to 20 years, and for women 15.

unemployed after being fired

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

For health

When assigning 1, 2 or 3 groups of disability or health problems, a person has the right to receive pension payments. When issuing allowances, the time of onset of disability 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 labor pension is the presence of an insurance period, and its duration does not matter. This means that even one working day is enough for a person with disabilities if a deduction was made from the salary in the FIU.

In addition to the early disability pension in 2018, a monthly fixed allowance is due, the amount of which depends on the category of disability and the district coefficient (the indicator is determined in each subject of the Russian Federation separately). When applying for a allowance, it is imperative to provide the 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.

Benefit tables

Provided that the labor activity of a person is associated with dangerous, harmful or difficult working conditions that belong to List 1 and List 2, he may qualify for early exit for a well-deserved rest. He needs to work at least half the time required to enter a well-deserved rest on these lists. In order to take advantage of this prerogative, you must additionally have the required amount of pension points and a certain insurance period. The generally established retirement age is reduced in proportion to the length of service.

Retirement age for persons working in dangerous conditions

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

For women:

Calculation for workers under Schedule 2

According to the official information provided on the PFR website, people working with harmful and difficult working conditions that belong to List No. 2 also have the right to take a well-deserved rest early. Early retirement in 2018 for men will be accrued according to List 2:

For women:

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

In 2018, citizens who worked in the conditions of the Far North or areas that are legally equated to them have the right to leave ahead of schedule for a well-deserved rest. 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 RCS.

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

Early payment can be issued with a reduction in the retirement age in proportion to the length of service, but this requires at least 7 and a half years of work in the Far North. For every 12 months of employment in the CSW, the retirement age is reduced by 4 months:

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








15 or more

How to retire early

For 2018, there are no plans to increase the retirement age, although there is talk about this from time to time. It is worth expecting this in the near future, especially since the increase in the age for entering a well-deserved rest has already affected civil servants and every year it is added for another six months. An additional catalyst is the economic crisis, the consequences of which have not yet been eliminated.

Early retirement 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.

Pension payments are assigned to persons upon reaching the age of 55 for women and 60 years for men. And for those who apply for social benefits, this age is 5 more years. Before the time to get the status of a pensioner, not all persons have. To do this, you need to meet a whole list of conditions.

When can you retire early?

According to the laws of the Russian Federation, there is a certain list of conditions that allow you to take a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule, namely:

Status of officially unemployed;
The insurance period must not be less than 25 years for men and 20 years for women;
no more than 2 years remain until retirement age.;
Reasons for the last dismissal - reduction, liquidation of the company;
There is no opportunity for new employment;
The person himself agrees to receive the appropriate status.

It should be noted that the status of a pensioner is provided by employees of the employment service.

How to retire early for an unemployed person?

The main reasons for premature retirement are related to how exactly the ex-employee was fired from the last job. This status can only be obtained by those with whom labor relations have been terminated due to the liquidation of the organization or the reduction of staff. To do this, apply to the employment center. Also, a list of documents is attached to it - confirming the identity and experience of a citizen.

Who is eligible for early retirement

In general, those who were fired due to the liquidation of a company or a reduction in staff can become a pensioner. On preferential terms, this right is granted to other persons. For example, it is also possible to prematurely take a well-deserved rest for the parents of a disabled child. For men, in this case, there are two requirements: 20 years of experience and 55 years of age. For women, both numbers are 5 liters. less. This issue must be resolved through the pension fund. The same age norms as for parents of disabled children are established for people working in the Far North. An additional requirement for them is 15 years of work experience in the Far North or 20 years in areas equivalent to them.

Also, the Federal Laws and the Labor Code establish two groups of privileged professions with the right to receive the status of a pensioner before the due age. All of these occupations involve strenuous or hazardous working conditions.

Early retirement for women in 2018

For women who have been laid off, 53 years of age is generally relevant. The rest of the rules are subject to special conditions. For example, if a representative of the weaker sex has worked underground for at least 5 years, she will be able to assign pension payments at the age of 50. According to the provisions of the law, there is a direct relationship between the age of a citizen and his experience.

Early retirement for men in 2018

Conditions for early retirement for men are more stringent than for women. On average, they leave 5 years later - in general, ahead of time, you can go to 58 liters. However, even here the special conditions of the profession play a role. For example, 7 years of experience at nuclear power plants is sufficient reason to receive the appropriate payments as early as 1953.

Early retirement with downsizing in 2018

With a reduction, women will be able to become eligible for payments as early as 53 years old, and men at 58 years old. To do this, the labor exchange must recognize them as unemployed and those who cannot find a job at the moment. The amount of the pension for early retirement in case of reduction of employees is calculated in the same way as in the general procedure, without any restrictions. The determining factors are payments to the FIU and the average earnings of a citizen.

Retire early through the employment center

In order to retire early from the labor exchange, you must write an application and obtain the desired status of a pensioner. In addition to the application, you should bring your passport and work book. The first document will confirm the identity, and with the help of the second it will be possible to calculate the length of service. The offer to withdraw must come from the employment service, but the person himself must give his consent.

Documents for early retirement

In this case, an application for early retirement upon reduction is submitted to the FIU. The package of documents looks like this:

Information about the harmfulness of production;
Identification;
A work book in which there is information not only about the general, but also about the "harmful" experience;
Payroll documents.

It takes about 2 months for PFR specialists to check the documentation and assign payments.

Cancellation of early retirement

In Russia, news about the abolition of the possibility of early retirement status for several categories is being actively discussed. However, this new rule is typical only for representatives of the medical and pedagogical professions. All other categories, such as: “northerners”, people working in harmful conditions, will be able to go on a well-deserved rest as before.

Right toearly retirement - a state measure to support citizens working in difficult working conditions and socially unprotected categories of Russians. At the same time, the possibilityearly retirement should be assessed taking into account the changes in pension legislation that have taken place by that time.

How to retire early, what are the reasons for this?

For objective reasons, the retirement age in Russia will only increase in the coming decades; a decision on its increase is expected to be made before 2020. Therefore, the issue of benefits in the field of pension provision, including preferential calculation of seniority or the possibility of retiring earlier than the generally accepted retirement age, is especially relevant.

On January 1, 2015, a new law on pension provision came into force, which establishes a new procedure for calculating pensions and makes other changes to the pension schemes of Russians. An innovation is the mandatory binding of the possibility of early appointment of a pension to the availability of an individual pension coefficient for the insured person in the amount specified by law.

To better plan their education and future careers, future generations should know who is entitled to early retirement. The list of persons who, according to the pension legislation, have the right early retirement, is very wide, and the conditions under which this benefit is possible vary. List of persons entitled early retirement, is given in Art. 30, 31, 32 of the law "On insurance pensions" dated December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ.

In most cases for early retirement privileged categories of citizens need not only to work out a certain length of service, but also to reach a certain age - 45, 50 or 55 years. There are professions (for example, teachers, doctors) for which the possibility of early retirement is established only on the basis of length of service, that is, after a certain length of service.

Early retirement pension - who is entitled to it?

In total, the law provides for about 30 categories of citizens who are entitled to early retirement. In the general case, the possibility of obtaining this benefit arises for persons whose working conditions, due to certain circumstances, are harder than for the majority of working Russians (locomotive workers, public transport drivers, doctors, teachers, and so on). The work of these citizens is associated with constant stress, which leads to an early loss of professional qualities. The circumstances giving the right to a benefit also include working conditions: heavy production, work in the Far North, underground work.

But the law also provides guarantees to persons who are socially less protected than most of our citizens: mothers with many children, laid-off unemployed, as well as the disabled and raising the disabled - for them, early retirement may become unplanned. We will talk about these categories of citizens in more detail later.

Early registration of a pension in case of reduction (early pension for the unemployed)

The legislation provides for guaranteed state support to those persons who have lost their jobs as a result of downsizing and liquidation of the organization. Citizen's right to early retirement pension In this case, Art. 32 of the Law “On Employment of the Population” dated April 19, 1991 No. 1032-1.

Citizens officially recognized as unemployed, early old age pension may be appointed subject to the following conditions:

the remaining period before retirement (including early retirement) in old age at the time of granting the pension is less than 2 years;
a citizen who retires has a worked record of service (its value depends on working conditions);
employees of the employment service apply for a pension ahead of schedule due to the lack of suitable work.

Important! When determining the possibility early retirement to reduce staff, you need to focus on the retirement age and length of service that corresponds to the working conditions of a citizen.

For the recognition of a citizen in need of appointment early old age pension he must apply to the employment service himself. If the issue is resolved positively, the employment service will issue a certificate to the unemployed, with which he must apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation within a month with a statement about early retirement.

How to retire a mother of many children early?

A mother with many children, when she gives birth to 5 or more children, whom she brings up for more than 8 years, subject to the development of insurance experience (at least 15 years), is entitled to early retirement upon reaching the age of 50 years. An indispensable condition under which it is possible early retirement, is that a mother with many children has an individual pension coefficient of at least 30.

It should be noted that women who have worked for at least 12 years in the Far North, with at least 20 years of experience early retirement at the age of 50 is possible if they have 2 or more children. At the same time, when assigning a pension, both natural children and adopted children are indicated, in the birth certificate of which the applicant is indicated in the “Mother” column.

Your right early retirement a mother of many children can transfer to her husband (he has this right from the age of 55) by submitting an application to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

Guarantees for disabled people and persons supporting them

A number of persons with a disability acquired as a result of a military injury, the visually impaired, as well as midgets and disproportionate dwarfs, are assigned an old-age pension ahead of schedule when they reach a certain age and subject to the development of their seniority.

Early retirement is also assigned to one of the parents or guardians of people with disabilities from childhood who raised them up to the age of 8 years. At the same time, a pension is assigned to parents of disabled people from the age of 55 (for men) or 50 (for women) years. For guardians of disabled persons, the age at which it is possible for them to early retirement, is calculated with a reduction of 1.6 years for 1 year of guardianship (but not more than 5 years).

To receive this type of early pension, citizens who are entitled to receive it should apply to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation with an application, a package of documents confirming the family relationship between the applicant and the disabled child, the child’s disability and the fact that the pension is awarded for the first time, that is not credited to another family member.

Instruction

If you are a man and under 46 (or a woman under 49), find a job with particularly hazardous working conditions. This can be underground work in a mine, work in “hot” shops (metallurgical or chemical production), in the production of building materials, in glass or faience shops and some other work (http://fmc.uz/legisl.php?id= spisokposobie_2).

When applying for a job, make sure that the employer has correctly completed all the documents for this vacancy in the pension fund and you will receive the benefits you are entitled to.

Work at this place without interruption for at least 7 years (for men) or 3 years 8 months (for women). Please note that each year of work in such hazardous production will reduce your retirement age by 1 year (two years), but first you need to work at least half of the established period (for men, half is 5 years, for women 3 years 8 months).

If you are a woman, you have the opportunity to choose less harmful work in order to enter the retirement at 53 years old. Choose the most suitable profession for yourself from the list of harmful jobs (http://fmc.uz/legisl.php?id=spisokposobie_3) and work in it for at least 5 years (a mandatory condition for assigning a preferential pension). Please note that every 2 years at such an enterprise they will reduce your retirement age by 1 year.

Do not forget that in addition to preferential experience, it is imperative to obtain insurance experience. When your age begins to approach the coveted 53 years, contact the pension fund to clarify the time for reaching retirement. Provide documents: passport, insurance pension certificate, diploma, military ID, marriage and divorce certificate, work book, certificate of employment and most importantly - a preferential certificate. This certificate should be issued to you in the organization where you earned your preferential seniority, according to it you retirement no appointment ahead of time.

Eligibility for early retirement

Since 2019 an additional preferential basis is planned for the opportunity to become a pensioner ahead of schedule - the presence at least 37 years of experience for women and at least 42 for men. With the adoption of such changes, the Russians will have the opportunity to issue payments earlier by 2 years than this will be provided for by the new retirement age (and from 2019 it will begin to rise from 60 to 65 years for men).

It should be noted that initially the Government proposed to establish a standard for early retirement at the level of 40 and 45 years old(women and men respectively). It is with these parameters that the government bill for consideration by the State Duma on June 16, 2018.

However, the President's seniority requirements were softened for 3 years - up to 37 and 42 years. Corresponding amendments Vladimir Putin to the State Duma on September 6, 2018. During the second reading of the bill on raising the retirement age for Russians, such amendments were approved by the deputies, on September 27, 2018, the bill was adopted in its final content and signed by President Vladimir Putin on October 3.

It is also necessary to clarify that this standard (37 years for women and 42 years for men) for receiving a pension in the general case - it only allows early processing of payments “on preferential terms”. And for registration of an insurance pension in the general order of such long-term employment not required. For example, in 2019, in order to become eligible to become an old-age pensioner, you will need to earn only 10 years of experience.

What does 37 and 42 years of seniority mean for early retirement (what does it include)?

Since 2015, to determine the citizen's right to registration, the concept has been used insurance experience. But the procedure for calculating it to determine the right to early retirement will differ from the standard rules - not all insurance experience will be taken into account for early retirement. Such a restriction was introduced by paragraph 4 of Art. 8 of the new Law No. 350-FZ of October 3, 2018, on the basis of which it does not include periods that are generally included in the insurance period (for example, caring for a child under 1.5 years old).

Only work periods and (or) other activities in accordance with paragraph 1 of Art. 11 of Law No. 400-FZ of December 28, 2013, during which the citizen was officially employed and paid for him, and the period of being on sick leave.

Note that the rules for calculating the total insurance period with the introduction of the new law do not change in any way - restrictions will only apply when calculating the length of service for early retirement, for which you need to have 37 and 42 years of work experience.

For reference

According to Art. 12 of the same law No. 400-FZ "About insurance pensions", now the following non-working periods are included in the general insurance period, during which a citizen:

(but not more than 6 years in total);
received temporary disability benefits (compulsory social insurance payments);
received unemployment benefits, participated in paid public works;
moved or moved to another area for employment in the direction of the employment service;
cared for a disabled person of group I, a disabled child or a person who has reached 80 years of age, and other periods.
All listed periods are counted only if before or immediately after them there were periods of official work during which the employer paid insurance premiums for the employee.

Retirement by length of service in Russia (table)

As mentioned above, the presence of a long service will allow you to retire early - 2 years ahead of schedule. But it is necessary to remember about the restriction - in this case, the age cannot be less than 55 years for women and 60 years for men (which corresponds to the old retirement age that was valid until 2019).

This actually means that during the first years of the reform, when the retirement age will be gradually increased in increments of 1 year (in 2019 - 0.5 years), with a long service life, it will be possible to retire not 2 years earlier, but for a smaller number of years (in 2019-2020).

Below is a schedule (table) of early retirement by seniority by year of birth:

Women			Men			When will they retire
GR	Total PV	Preferential PV	GR	Total PV	Preferential PV	When will they retire
1964	55,5	55	1959	60,5	60	2019
1965	56,5	55	1960	61,5	60	2020
1966	58	56	1961	63	61	2022
1967	59	57	1962	64	62	2024
1968	60	58	1963	65	63	2026 etc.

Note: PV - retirement age, GR - year of birth.

Thus, in the presence of a long period of labor activity according to the old standards of retirement age (at 55/60 years old) will come out:

women born in 1964 and men born in 1959 - in fact, a decrease of only six months relative to the new age standard;
women born in 1965 and men born in 1960 - reduction by one and a half years (instead of 2 full years).

For women born in 1968 and men born in 1963 and younger, who have a long work record (37 years and 42 years or more, respectively), under the new law, taking into account according to the table above, the final values \u200b\u200bof the preferential retirement age will be established - respectively 58 years old and 63 years old(which is 2 years less than the new generally established standards).

Question answer

Will the mandatory length of service be 37 years for women and 42 years for men?

No, statutory limits are 37 for women and 42 for men are not mandatory for the appointment of payments, but only in order to provide early retirement. If a citizen does not work out such a number of years, he will simply become a pensioner on a general basis - without benefits for early registration. And the so-called "mandatory work experience for retirement" under the new pension reform does not change.

In general, according to current legislation, in order to reach, it is enough to fulfill three prerequisites:

Achievement of the established - will gradually change, starting from 01/01/2019, until it is established at the value of 60/65 years for women / men, respectively.
The presence of a mandatory (minimum) - these values are gradually adjusted from 01/01/2015 with an annual increase of 1 year.
The presence of the minimum required amount - this value is also adjusted annually with an annual step of 2.4 points.

For example, to become a pensioner in 2019, you will need to have 10 years of insurance experience and 16.2 pension points. If in 2019 a citizen will lack these indicators, then it must be borne in mind that next year the requirements will be even higher - already 11 years and 18.6 points.

The schedule for increasing the minimum (mandatory) requirements for obtaining an old-age pension in Russia by year is given in the table below:

The final mandatory values after the end of the transition period are noted in the table in bold- these are, respectively, the retirement age of 60 years for women and 65 years for men (from 2023), 15 years of insurance experience (from 2024) and 30 pension points (from 2025).
