Retirement of civil servants per year. Pension of state civil servants

In 2018, Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev announced an increase in the retirement age in Russia up to 65 years for men and 63 years for women(now is 60 and 55 years respectively). The draft of the relevant federal law, registered under the number No. 489161-7, . It is expected that the final form of this law, which has already been dubbed by many as “anti-people”, will be adopted not earlier than autumn 2018 subject to full discussion and necessary amendments. The planned changes should come into force on January 1, 2019 and will be implemented in stages - the retirement age will increase annually in increments of 1 year.

A similar law on raising the retirement age was passed in relation to civil servants in the spring of 2016(law ). However, then the changes were planned to be carried out more smoothly - annually increasing the retirement period by six months to the same 65 and 63 years. In connection with the proposal in 2018 of a similar bill for ordinary citizens, to whom the Government offered higher rates of increase, according to the new law, from 2020, for civil servants, the rate of raising the retirement age will also be faster - annually for 1 year ().

Retirement age in Russia

Fortunately, dividing the labor pension by and did not affect the age of retirement for old age. According to Part 1 of Article 8 of the Federal Law "About insurance pensions" on the old age insurance(It is worth talking about it in view of its greatest prevalence in our country) citizens who have reached the age of 55 and 60 (for and, respectively) have the right.

Also, from the previous law "On labor pensions in the Russian Federation", the rules for early retirement remained in effect.

In order to be eligible, a citizen must either be employed in a production that is harmful or hazardous to health and life, or work in areas equivalent to the Far North.

In addition, in Russia there is a state pension provision for persons who, for some reason, do not have a labor (insurance) record - upon reaching the age of 60 for women and 65 for men, they are appointed by old age.

Comparison with other countries

A comparative analysis by countries of the age at which citizens retire must be carried out in conjunction with many other parameters that depend on many factors. So, the average life expectancy, the standard of living, the average pension, and so on are usually taken into account.

In the case of our country, when talking about raising the retirement age, the first argument is an increase in average life expectancy. Therefore, a comparison with other countries will be presented in the form of a table indicating the retirement age and average life expectancy:

CountryAverage life expectancy, yearsRetirement age, years (women/men)
Russia70,5 55/60
Kazakhstan70,5 58/63
Great Britain80,0 65/65
France82,4 60/60
Germany81,0 65-67/65-67
China76,1 50-55/60
Japan83,7 65/65
USA79,3 65/65
Brazil75,0 60/65
Canada82,2 65/65
Argentina77,0 60/65

Data on life expectancy are based on a report from the World Health Organization (WHO).

Will the retirement age be increased?

Based on world practice and WHO annual reports, an increase in the retirement age is not something from the category of fantasy: our legislators use the experience of their foreign colleagues and follow the path that many countries have already taken. The table above shows that of all the countries listed (they were specially taken from almost all regions of the world), one of the lowest retirement ages is in our country.

Due to the relatively low retirement age, as well as increasing life expectancy, the question of increasing only in time - sooner or later it will be raised anyway.

Law on raising the retirement age from January 1, 2017

May 23, 2016 President of Russia V.V. Putin signed law No. 143-FZ "On Amendments to Certain Legislative Acts in Part of Increasing the Retirement Age for Certain Categories of Citizens" who proposed raising the retirement age for civil servants up to 63 and 65 years for women and men respectively. Also, under this law, over the next 10 years until 2026, the minimum length of service of state and municipal service for appointment to citizens will be increased by 5 years. retirement pensions(from current 15 to 20).

As in the case of increasing the length of service and the required value of the individual pension coefficient in the federal law "About insurance pensions", the increase in the retirement age is supposed to be carried out gradually, increasing the required age annually for six months.

For example, if in 2016 officials retired like everyone else at the age of 55 and 60 (women and men, respectively), then in two years, in 2018, these values ​​will already be 56 and 61 and will reach the planned values ​​of 63 and 65 years in 2032 and 2026, respectively.

As can be seen from the above text of the law, the changes also affected the required one - now instead of 15 years (including the last 12 years of continuous service), 20 years must be worked out. However, this innovation will also be introduced gradually, as well as an increase in the retirement age, - six months a year, and will reach the agreed value in 2026.

Will the rest of the citizens get a raise?

Based on the words of Deputy Prime Minister Olga Golodets, by 2018 to tighten the requirements for pensioners not planned. Whether this should be taken as a strategy already defined by the government or as a forecast is everyone's business.

  • For comparison, if we do not go far from the pension topic: the bill on dividing the labor pension into two independent payments (insurance and funded) was approved from 2013 to the end of 2014.
  • Accordingly, if now the Ministry of Labor is talking about a “new vector of development” for the pension system, then it is quite possible to expect an increase in retirement ages. in the near future.
  • Fortunately, this is not done abruptly, but gradually, so the citizens who are currently working, who are still far from retirement, may well get used to the increased age.

Despite repeated statements by Olga Golodets that there will be no increase, the Ministry of Economic Development, the Central Bank and the Ministry of Labor are actively lobbying for their vision of the development of the pension system.

According to A. Ulyukaev (Minister of Economic Development), it will be quite natural to increase the retirement age for both sexes up to 63 years old. Alexei Kudrin proposed to increase the retirement age from 2019, similarly to civil servants - up to 63 and 65 years.

In the sphere of fairly frequent statements by officials of one rank or another, ordinary citizens have a quite reasonable question: maybe there is already some kind of bill or law that will increase the retirement age?

In addition to the decree of the President of the Russian Federation on increasing the retirement age for any documents of this format not at the moment. However, it is worth preparing for the fact that the increase will occur, and not only for those who will retire in the near future (this will affect them first of all - they will have to work on a certain amount of time), but also for those who are still far from retirement - given the change requirements for the seniority of civil servants, legislators can follow the same path with ordinary citizens.

October 3, 2018 Vladimir Putin signed on raising the retirement age in Russia, which was adopted by the State Duma on September 27 in its final form, taking into account the recommended amendments. The main one is to increase the retirement age for Russians by 5 years - that is from 60 to 65 for men and from 55 to 60 for women. The transition to new values ​​is proposed to be carried out gradually, starting already from January 1, 2019.

The retirement age will increase annually for 1 year with the exception of those Russians who will reach the old retirement age (60 / 55 years) in the next 2 years - in 2019 and 2020. For them, in order to mitigate the consequences of the reform, a new retirement age (for example, in 2019, the retirement period for women and men will increase by only 6 months instead of 1 year).

With text Law of October 3, 2018 No. 350-FZ on raising the retirement age, which has already been signed by the President and officially published, can be found below. The main provisions of the new reform come into force on January 1, 2019.

It is worth noting that the consideration of the bill caused a lively debate among the deputies of the State Duma, however, in all readings, the document was adopted by majority vote(first of all, thanks to the support of the United Russia faction, which has a parliamentary majority).

Changes in pension legislation since 2019

The new law on pensions from 2019 contains adjustments to the retirement age for future recipients of the following types of pensions:

Legislative changes are being implemented from January 1, 2019 with a transitional period during which the value of the retirement age will gradually change until it reaches the value established by law. However, adjustments will be introduced for civil servants one year later - from 2020, since for them this process has already been going on for several years - from January 1, 2017 in accordance with a similar law No. 143-FZ of May 23, 2016 2020).

It is worth noting that all the proposed changes in pension legislation from 2019 will not touch those citizens of Russia who already receiving a pension- the new measures are aimed only at extending the “working period” for future pensioners, who should reach retirement age from 2019.

Entry to the old-age insurance pension from 2019

From January 1, 2019, the release dates for . Initially, the Government, under the new law, taking into account transitional provisions, planned to establish a new retirement age - for men 65 years old, for women 63 years old. However, at the suggestion of the President, the age for women was reduced to 60 years, i.e. as a result, the increase for men and women will be the same - for 5 years.

And this increase will happen in stages - with an annual increase of 1 year(and taking into account the adopted presidential amendments - except for the first two years of the new law: 2019 and 2020) until the final norms established by the new law for men and women are reached in 2023 (60 years for men and 55 years for women).

To determine the year of granting an old-age pension under the new law, you can use the data presented in the table:

Table - Retirement from 2019 by year

Year of retirement under the current law (aged 55/60)Retirement age under the new law from 01/01/2019Year of retirement under the new law
WomenMen
I half of 201955 + 0.5 60 + 0.5 II half of 2019
II half of 201955 + 0.5 60 + 0.5 1st half of 2020
1st half of 202055 + 1.5 60 + 1.5 II half of 2021
II half of 202055 + 1.5 60 + 1.5 1st half of 2022
2021 55 + 3 60 + 3 2024
2022 55 + 4 60 + 4 2026
2023 and beyond55 + 5 60 + 5 2028 etc.

Note: The table has already been adjusted taking into account the final content on raising the retirement age, adopted by the State Duma in the third reading at a meeting on September 27, 2018 and signed by the President on October 3, 2018.

Thus, the following conclusions can be drawn:

  • Changes under the new law will apply to all citizens of the Russian Federation who were supposed to retire on old age starting from 01/01/2019 - that is women born in 1964 and men born in 1959.
  • Within 5 years, a so-called “transitional period” will operate for women and men, within which the retirement age will increase annually by 1 year(except for the first two years of the transition period, when it will be possible to retire six months earlier).
  • For women from 1968 and men from 1963, already final values ​​- 60 and 65 years. Accordingly, they will be the first in Russia to retire later for all the 5 years difference adopted by the State Duma - in 2028 instead of 2023 according to the old law (see table above).

However, the new law provides for the possibility of reducing the retirement age by 24 months. Such a reduction is established in the presence of 37 years of experience for women (provided they reach 55 years of age) and 42 years of experience for men (who have reached 60 years of age).

Preferential pensions for teachers, health workers, creative workers from 2019

Under the old law, teachers and health workers were required to have 25-30 years of work experience (depending on the place of work) for early retirement. According to the new law, the right to early appointment of a pension in the presence of such length of service remains, but the withdrawal period carried forward for 5 years after acquiring the required number of years of service. At the same time, a phased increase in the term of appointment (by 1 year annually, except for the first two years with the stipulated preferential retirement) is envisaged from 2019 to 2023 until the required value of 5 years is reached.

The terms for assigning an early insurance pension for teachers and doctors by year are indicated in the table:

Thus, from 01/01/2019, it will be possible to get an early insurance pension and after receiving the necessary length of service only after the number of years established by law: from 0.5 to 4 years in the period from 2019 to 2022 and after 5 years, starting from 2023 of the year. Also, for these categories of workers, the possibility of retirement according to the new generally established values ​​​​of the retirement age remains - upon reaching the age of 60 or 65.

For employees of creative activity (in theaters and theatrical and entertainment organizations), according to the old law, the possibility of early exit was provided, depending on the nature of the work, at the age of 50-55 years, with a work experience of 15-30 years. The new pension law from 2019 also establishes a new retirement age for such workers - 55-60 years old with the same seniority requirements. The increase will also take place annually for 1 year until the value provided for by the new law is established (see similar examples in the tables above).

Raising the retirement age for workers in the Far North

Until the end of 2018, for those working in the regions of the Far North (RKS) and equivalent areas (MKS), the legislation establishes the age of the right to - respectively 50 and 55 years for women and men. Unfortunately, as a result of the pension reform for northerners, changes in the retirement age will also be provided - respectively up to 55 and 60 years.

Such measures in the Government are explained by the changed situation in the northern regions of the country: infrastructure is developing, the life expectancy of Russians is increasing and living conditions are improving.

Until the establishment of new values ​​for employees of the RC and ISS, also a transitional period: from 2019 to 2023 for men and women. During it, the standard age will increase annually by 1 year until it is set at 55 and 60 years (except for 2019 and 2020, when “preferential” retirement conditions will still be in effect).

It should be noted that changes in the rules for assigning northern pensions working in difficult and harmful working conditions(underground works, hot shops, metallurgical, chemical, petrochemical industries, etc.).

Retirement of civil servants from 2019

Changes in pension legislation will also affect. For them, retirement age has already increased since January 1, 2017, but the previously adopted law provided for an increase in the value to 63 and 65 years annually with a step of six months. According to the new law, the retirement age for civil servants will increase from 01.01.2020 at the same pace as for other citizens - annually for 1 year.

The change for civil servants will take place according to the new schedule presented in the table:

Year of retirement of civil servants under the old lawRetirement age under the new lawYear of retirement of civil servants under the new law
WomenMen
2017 55 + 0,5 60 + 0,5 2017-2018
2018 55 + 1 60 + 1 2019
2019 55 +1,5 60 + 1,5 2020-2021
2020 55 + 2 60 + 2 2022
2021 55 + 3 60 + 3 2024
2022 55 + 4 60 + 4 2026
2023 55 + 5 60 + 5 2028
2024 55 + 6 2030
2025 55 + 7 2032
2026 and beyond 55 + 8 2034

Thus, the rules for changing the retirement age of civil servants provided for by the old law will be adjusted. The transitional period, during which a gradual increase in the retirement age will take place, will be reduced for women by 6 years (until 2026 instead of the previous 2032), for men - by 3 years (until 2023 instead of 2026). That is increase will be faster.

Social pensions from 2019

In addition to those already discussed above, the pension reform from 2019 provides for a number of changes regarding the conditions of appointment, in particular social old age pensions intended for persons who have not earned the necessary.

Until 2019, they were due to persons who have reached the age of 65 for men and 60 for women (that is, 5 years later than the generally established retirement age for 2018 of 60/55 years). Under the new law, this right will only arise upon reaching the age of 70 and 65(i.e. also with an increase of 5 years from the new age of 65/60 years).

At the same time, the law also provides for transitional provisions for social pensions, which establish a phased increase in the retirement age, starting from January 1, 2019(and in 2019 and 2020 preferential retirement conditions will apply, according to those proposed by the President).

All new statutory retirement ages for receiving social pensions for men and women (70 and 65 years, respectively) will be finally set from 2023.

Who will not be affected by the increase in the retirement age in Russia?

First of all, statutory changes from 2019 will not affect those who are already retired- all pensioners will continue to receive all payments already assigned to them in accordance with the rights and benefits acquired earlier.

In addition, the adopted law does not provide increasing the retirement age for certain categories of citizens:

  1. Employed in jobs with difficult and harmful working conditions, namely:
    • employees in favor of whom the employer pays insurance premiums at the relevant rates, which were determined as a result of a special assessment of working conditions;
    • pilots of civil aviation, engineering staff for aircraft maintenance;
    • flight test personnel involved in testing aviation and other equipment;
    • workers of locomotive crews, workers organizing transportation and ensuring traffic safety on railway transport, in the subway;
    • machinists of construction, road, loading and unloading equipment;
    • tractor drivers working in agriculture and other areas;
    • workers in logging, timber rafting, as well as those involved in the maintenance of mechanisms and equipment;
    • truck drivers in mines, crankcases, mines, etc.;
    • in underground or open-pit mining, in mine rescue units, in the extraction of shale, coal, ore and other minerals;
    • in the construction of mines and mines;
    • in geological prospecting, search, topographic teams and expeditions, in prospecting and other works;
    • in the crew of the sea, river fleet, in the fishing industry;
    • drivers of passenger transport on regular city routes (buses, trolleybuses, trams);
    • lifeguards in emergency services;
    • working with convicts in organizations executing criminal sentences in the form of deprivation of liberty;
    • women working in the textile industry with heavy loads in conditions of increased intensity and others.
  2. Citizens who are entitled to a pension for health reasons or social reasons:
    • one of the parents or guardians, who brought them up to the age of 8;
    • visually impaired people of the 1st group;
    • women who have given birth to 5 or more children and raised them up to the age of 8;
    • women who have given birth to 2 or more children and have established work experience in the regions of the Far North and areas equated to them and others.
  3. Persons who have suffered as a result of man-made or radiation disasters (at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the Mayak chemical plant, the Semipalatinsk test site, etc.).

A complete detailed list of persons who will not be affected by the increase in the retirement age planned by the Government from 2019 is provided in (PDF file format) prepared by specialists from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

President of the Russian Federation Vladimir Putin signed, which provides for a gradual increase in the age of retirement for old age for persons holding public positions in the Russian Federation and public positions in the constituent entities of the Russian Federation, as well as carrying out state and municipal service.

The increase in the retirement age for officials will be phased: in the first years by half a year every year for everyone, then the increase in the retirement age for male officials will be more intense. As a result, male civil servants will retire at 65 from 2026, and women at 63 from 2032.

The age limit for civil service will be 65 years. Currently, this age limit is 60 years (part 1 of article 25.1 of the Federal Law of July 27, 2004 No. 79-FZ ""). Extension of service will remain possible, but only for civil servants holding positions in the category of "assistant (advisers)", established to assist the person holding a public position. The renewal period will not change for them either – until the end of their term of office. But the rest of the civil servants, whose term of service can be extended today to 65 years, will lose the possibility of a further extension.

For leaders, as today, the term of civil service can be extended to 70 years. But for them, the procedure for agreeing on such an extension will change. If this is currently happening by decision of the president, then after the amendments come into force, the further service of such persons will be extended by the federal government agency or the appropriate official who appointed them to the post.

The minimum length of civil service has also been increased, upon reaching which an official has the right to apply for a seniority pension. Recall that today it is 15 years (clause 1, article 7 of the Federal Law of December 15, 2001 No. 166-FZ ""). It will also increase gradually - for half a year every year, starting from 2017. And from 2020 and in subsequent years, such experience will be 20 years.

The new rules will come into effect on January 1, 2017. At the same time, the amendments will not affect those who have already received the right to a superannuation pension by now or will receive it before the specified date.

A phased increase in the retirement age for civil servants came into effect on January 1, 2017. Law No. 143-FZ of May 23, 2016 has already been approved and has entered into official force. What exactly does this document govern?

  1. Retirement age - The law establishes a gradual increase in retirement for the appointment of mandatory insurance payments. The annual increase is 6 months. until the final achievement for men / women of the maximum bar at 65/63 years. The current year 2017 is already subject to regulatory changes, when the old rules for calculating the retirement age for men/women at 60/55 years are not applied. A detailed table with data on extending the retirement age for civil servants is presented below.
  2. Mandatory length of service in the civil service - employees holding public positions are subject to new requirements for the minimum duration of service. According to the old rules, you must have an experience of 15 years, according to the new - 20 years. The 5-year increase does not grow immediately, but gradually: with an annual increase of 6 months. before reaching 20 years in 2026.
  3. The term of office for members of the Federation Council / State Duma deputies - the federal law on raising the retirement age for such civil servants establishes a minimum period of 5-10 years (before changes 1-3 years) for calculating an additional monthly remuneration of 55%, from 10 years (before changes from 3 years) - in 75%.

Note! No. 143-FZ on raising the retirement age for civil servants does not cancel the procedure for assigning payments only to those employees who retire from state jobs. Employment in commercial organizations is not a basis for assigning a special pension, even if there is a minimum mandatory length of civil service.

Those who have already managed to go on a well-deserved rest, do not worry. But those who are going to retire this or next year will have to carefully study the law and calculate their length of service, because the retirement age for civil servants in 2017 has undergone dramatic changes.

The years of retirement and periods of minimum service, which are established by the law on increasing the retirement age for civil servants, as well as annual increases, are collected in a single table. All interested employees of state institutions should carefully read the information. Values ​​are given for men, through a fraction for women.

Which civil servants are subject to an increase in the retirement age

The adopted draft law on raising the retirement age for civil servants did not affect all categories of employees, but only those who retire from existing public positions and work in the civil service as of the date of application. If a person has already quit such jobs, he has the right to apply to the FIU for the appointment of the required insurance pension payments on general grounds. The civil service includes the following periods:

  • Employment in civilian positions in the federal/municipal civil service.
  • Employment in government positions of the federal/municipal service.

The list of positions approved by Decree No. 1141 of September 20, 2010 will help to figure out exactly which civil servants will be raised the retirement age. The document lists the categories of periods of work / employment in the service that fall under a special pension.

At the same time, the retirement age was increased for civil servants who were dismissed for the following reasons:

  • By my own will.
  • Due to an illness that prevents further continuation of work.
  • Upon reaching the maximum insurance age period.
  • In connection with the liquidation of the state institutions or layoffs.
  • Due to the termination of the assigned powers.

Raising the retirement age for civil servants - expert comments

Officials assume that the approved law on extending the retirement age for civil servants will help reduce the expenditure side of the Russian Pension Fund, retain valuable personnel, and, according to United Russia representative Valery Trapeznikov, test an increase in the retirement age for other categories of working citizens. For several years, Russians have been following the debate on this issue, perhaps Law No. 143-FZ has become the first sign and an increase in the retirement age for the rest of the population is just around the corner?

Despite numerous arguments, there are no supporting regulatory grounds yet, but this does not exclude cardinal changes in the current pension system. Citizens are already allowed to postpone the registration of pensions for later periods, that is, temporarily postpone the appointment of payments and apply for their appointment in a year or two or several years. In this case, the calculation of a pension with an increasing coefficient becomes an incentive measure.

The conclusion is that it is possible that the retirement age for civil servants has been raised, which means a gradual transition to the implementation of measures to increase the retirement age everywhere. However, so far the State Duma has not conducted any considerations on this topic, and the restrictions for working pensioners consist only in the indefinite suspension of the annual indexation of payments.
