1 October recalculation of military pensions. Military pensioners for Russia and its armed forces. What determines the amount of pension

Military pensions from October 1, 2017, the latest news from the State Duma: this year the government does not promise an increase in pensions for military pensioners

Military retirees are a very impressive stratum of the population of Russia.

Many of them are keenly interested in issues related to the future materially. In particular, people want to know when the next indexing will be and by what percentage it will pass.

Pensions for military pensioners from October 1, 2017 will not be indexed. Alas, the latest news from the State Duma is disappointing: the planned indexations in 2017 ended. Thus, citizens can once again reproach the state for the fact that various areas of the budget are subject to savings, including the social component.

Regarding the reduction coefficient, which changed from 69.45 to 72.23 percent, we can say the following: it is valid only for those military pensioners who were dismissed before January 1, 2012. Now they receive a coefficient of 64%, whereas by 2035 they will be able to receive a full pension.

Among other things, military pensioners are complaining that their pensions should rise at the rate of inflation and another plus two percent. However, in practice this does not happen.

In particular, the two percent stipulated from January 1 have long been frozen. Also, military pensioners complain that they can use only a small part of the benefits that they are entitled to by law. Thus, a lot of questions remain for the authorities of our country.

Military pensions in 2017: an increase is possible in some circumstances

One of the options in which there will be an increase in military pensions from October 1, 2017, is a change in the monetary allowance of military personnel.

Earnings for this category of citizens are established by federal legislation. The amount of allowance is formed taking into account the salary by rank and position. If you have qualifications, length of service, work with data related to state secrets, special conditions of service, fulfillment of life-threatening and other circumstances, the soldier is entitled to allowances.

The last salary increase was in 2012. The amount of indexation was established by federal legislation before the adoption of the budget.

After all, the government promises to provide an adequate level of income for military pensioners. This category of citizens, who devote their lives to military service, hopes that upon retirement they will receive a high pension that will allow them to live their old age with dignity.

The authorities claim that people, having worked in law enforcement agencies, will receive a decent pension. But so far not all military pensioners can boast of a good pension.

Taking into account the complicated general political situation on the world stage, Russia plans to increase expenditures on the maintenance of the army, the development of new types of weapons and other items.

3.3% will be allocated for the development of the defense sector this year. The government promises that the pay of servicemen will also increase. Although the increase in pensions from wages will be carried out gradually, since the economic situation in the country does not allow them to immediately significantly increase their salaries and pension payments.

Note that after the February and April indexations, as stated in the government, military pensions increased by almost 5.8%. The authorities also remind that at the beginning of the year all pensioners, including military pensioners, received a lump sum payment of 5 thousand rubles. Nevertheless, many pensioners expect their pensions to be indexed by 2% in October.

After the indexations have already passed, military pensioners declare that their incomes have grown below the announced level. Therefore, they hope that another indexation awaits their pension this year. This will make it possible to somehow compensate for the decline in income against the background of rising prices in the country.

It should be noted that the authorities intend to increase the threshold for receiving a military pension. The possibility is being discussed that military pensions can be received only after 25 years of service in law enforcement agencies. The authorities believe that this will save the federal budget several hundred billion rubles annually.

Work on this document is going on in the government on behalf of Russian President Vladimir Putin. According to experts, it can be adopted after the presidential elections are held in Russia in 2018.

The military pension calculator from October 1, 2019 will help to quickly and correctly calculate the size of the pension benefit, taking into account the new allowance ratio (which increases by 2%) and the indexation of payments to the inflation rate (+ 4.3%).

The latest news from the State Duma and from the President indicates that the workers of the military industry will still receive an increase in pension benefits, in addition, they will increase the welfare ratio, only this will not take place from the beginning of the year, but in the fall (No. 460 (12/11/2018) the law comes into force 01.10.2019). The decision to unfreeze the process of increasing the index of converting wages into pension assistance was a personal initiative of the President of the Russian Federation, despite the fact that there was a Government decree on freezing the index of monetary allowance until 01.01.

An increase of 6.3% has already been included in the federal budget.

Why military pensions will be indexed only from October 1

The issue of indexation of military pensions has been discussed for more than a year; earlier, the increase in benefits was carried out due to an increase in the downward index annually by 2 percent, until the estimated pension payment was equal to 100% of the salary, but this process was suspended. In 2018, payments to the military were indexed by 4%. For a long time, representatives of the authorities could not find a compromise on the mechanism for increasing payments and came to an agreement that an increase in pensions for the military from October 1, 2019 will take place by changing the index of monetary allowance and adjusting for the inflation factor. The need for a comprehensive increase in payments is due to the following reasons:

• According to previous laws, the increase in pension payments to workers in this area should be 2% ahead of inflation; this index has not been applied since 2015, which provoked an underpayment of 20%.
• For the 5th year, inflation was approximately 50%, and the allowance for military personnel increased by only 35%.
• An increase in payments by 4.3% since October does not compensate for annual inflation, since it will take place almost at the end of the year, in reality, citizens will receive only 1.08% more.
• For this category of citizens, no additional premiums are provided in connection with an increase in prices due to an increase in VAT.

Which military pensioners will have their pensions raised?

Indexation of military pensions from October 1, 2019 for all pensioners and veterans of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation and other military formations in the CIS, and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Rosgvardia, the Federal Penitentiary Service and other related organizations, equated to military personnel, with the exception of those who receive a social pension ...

The list of applicants for the increase in payments included military personnel, employees of the service for monitoring and combating the spread of drugs, fire protection, representatives of other law enforcement agencies.

How much will increase

Contrary to all expectations, the pensions of military personnel will not grow by 7.5%, the maximum increase in 2019 is is about 6.3%, it consists of two parts:

• 4.3% - indexation of accrued pension benefits / adjustment to inflation;
• 2.0% - an increase in the welfare ratio from 0.7223 to 0.7368 (meeting the requirement that the growth of pension payments be higher than the inflation rate).

The pension of a lieutenant colonel can theoretically increase by 4 thousand rubles - up to ≈68 thousand rubles, a lieutenant's by 3 thousand rubles - up to ≈51 thousand rubles.

The recipients of the Single Cash Payment have already received from 1.02.2019. an increase of 4.3% to the amount of the EDV: 5180 rubles - the amount of the EDV for disabled veterans and military bodies; 2850 rubles - for veterans; 2073-3627 rubles - disabled people of 1-3 groups; 1555 rubles - family members of the victims.

Recipients of social pensions (invalids of the Great Patriotic War, disability as a result of injuries and general diseases) receive payments with an addition of 2.0% since April.

(Pension until October 2019 * 0.7368 / 0.7223) * 1.043 \u003d new monthly retirement benefit.

If the size of the pension must be calculated from scratch, then it is better to use a profile calculator, since there are many nuances associated with taking into account the length of service for new years of service and the use of correction factors.

The calculation formula is shown in the figure.

If you calculate the amount of the benefit using a calculator, then you need to enter the following data:

• The size of the salary for a military position;
• Reward for military rank;
• Veteran or seniority allowances;
• Length of service
• Regional coefficient.

As a result, the system will calculate the approximate amount of monthly payments for the estimated date. When choosing a calculator, be careful, see if it is updated according to the latest legislative requirements, what ratio of satisfaction is applied.

In the spring, the head of state, Vladimir Putin, ordered to prepare a document that would increase the length of service for law enforcement officials. According to the developed bill, the lower limit of retirement will be increased from twenty to twenty-five years. At the same time, we are not talking about indexing. Most likely, military pensions will not be recalculated from October 1, 2017.

Raising the retirement age of military personnel

The power structures have prepared a bill according to which, in order to receive a military pension, a person must have at least 25 years of experience. If the initiative is approved, the changes will affect the federal law of February 12, 1993, which regulates the provision of pensions to the military and their families. According to the latest news, the increase in the lower threshold will allow the federal budget to save several hundred billion rubles annually.

Work on the document began in the spring, by order of the head of state, Vladimir Putin. At the end of May, the draft law was ready. However, taking into account the nuances, there is still a number of consultations related to social, financial and economic support before the State Duma starts considering the document. It is expected that the adoption of the law will take place next year, after the presidential elections in the country.

Also, the authors of the bill have not yet announced how the procedure for increasing the lower threshold for retirement will be carried out, whether there will be a transition period. At the moment, only one thing is known: the changes, if adopted, will not affect those servicemen whose contract expiration date coincides with twenty years of service. Everyone else will have to serve an additional five years.

Will there be an increase to the military pension?

The issue of raising the lower threshold has been discussed for a long time. Back in 2013, it was proposed to carry out the procedure in two stages:

1. Until 2019 - an increase of 25% of the pension for those military men whose experience is more than 20 years, but who continue to serve.
2. From January 1, 2019 - to set the lower threshold for the right to receive a military pension, 25 years.

This initiative was rejected due to insufficient funds in the federal budget for payments during the transition period.

Two years later, Finance Minister Anton Siluanov returned to this issue. Then the Ministry of Finance offered to increase the service life to thirty years, but this option was rejected. In addition, the unstable economic situation in the country forced the ministry to refuse to increase payments to this category of pensioners.

While work is underway, it is not known whether the next indexation of military pensions will take place this year. Earlier, in addition to an increase in the amount of inflation, pensions were indexed by an additional 2%. However, this year, most likely, these payments will be suspended. In any case, at the moment, the corresponding government decree on the annual increase in this category of recipients has not been published.

"Double" military pension

Security officials who, after retirement, continue to work, have the right to receive a "civil" pension. Payments are made by Penfond in the same way as other recipients: the age must be at least 55 and 60 years (for women and men, respectively), the minimum work experience is 8 years (in 2017. With an annual increase of one year, by 2024 it will be 15 years old).

Meanwhile, VTsIOM data indicate that most Russians want to end their labor relations and retire at 56.8 years.

The increase in military pensions is scheduled for October 2019. Servicemen and pensioners equated to them will be paid by 6.3%. The growth was ensured by an increase in cash allowances by 4.3% and a change in the reduction coefficient by 2%. On average, payments through the Ministry of Defense will amount to 26,200 rubles, that is, they will increase by 1,550 rubles. The recalculation will be carried out without a declaration.

The State Duma Defense Committee has repeatedly stated that military pensions are underestimated by at least 20%, and proposed to shift the practice of recalculations from October to January. The monetary allowance of servicemen, to which the pension provision is tied, has depreciated in value during the absence of recalculations, and the problem has not been solved. In addition, the issue of freezing the reduction factor is acute. In 2019, for the first time in the last 5 years, indexation will affect both parameters that affect the size of military pensions. To whom and how much the payments will be counted, we will figure it out.

Raising military pensions: legal framework

The principle of calculating a military pension for seniority is fundamentally different from the calculation of insurance coverage for age. The amount of payments depends on the applicant's money allowance at the time of resignation and is limited by a reduction factor. Therefore, an increase can occur in two directions: due to an increase in the DDI and a change in the coefficient.

On the forecast inflation rate. The budget, approved by Federal Law No. 459 of November 29, 2018, included a 4.3% increase in payments for the military. Accordingly, the pensions were automatically recalculated for the same amount.

But later it became known that additional indexation would be carried out for pensioners, which would allow raising payments above the inflation rate. This was announced by Vladimir Putin on October 25, 2018 at a meeting with senior military officials in the Kremlin.

The President's order was embodied in legislation as the abolition of the freezing of the reducing coefficient, which was confirmed by the Federal Law No. 460 of December 11, 2018. Based on this document, the amount of money allowance, which is taken into account when calculating pensions, will be increased from 72.23 to 73.68%. That is, by 1.45 units, or 73.68 / 72.23 / 100 \u003d 2%.

It turns out that pensioners from the Ministry of Defense and persons equated to the military in 2019 can count on an increase in security:

4,3% + 2% = 6,3%

To whom will the payments increase?

As of September 2018, according to the Ministry of Finance, 2.64 million people received military pensions. More than half of the payments were made through the Ministry of Defense. In the report of Vasily Zatsepin, head of the military laboratory of the RANEPA, out of 715 billion rubles. 343 billion rubles. in 2018 it was paid to the retired military.

First of all, the indexation will affect pensioners - former military personnel who have earned a seniority pension. In addition to them, payments will be recalculated to retired employees of the following structures:

• fire service;
• FSIN;
• Rosgvardia;
• drug control.

For reference! Security officials can apply for specialized pension provision if they have a length of service of at least 20 years or a mixed length of service of 25 years, of which 12 years are spent in paramilitary structures.

The increase in military pensions in October 2018 will also affect payments to relatives of military personnel receiving survivor's pensions, which are calculated based on the level of monetary allowance.

When will the recalculation be

Despite the demands of the Duma's defense committee to postpone the indexation at the beginning of the year, the timing of the recalculation of military pensions remained unchanged. The increase, as planned in the budget, will take place in October 2018.

The last indexation of the DVA was carried out in January 2018. It turns out that pensioners through the security agencies will receive payments in the old way for 21 months: from January 2018 to October 2019.

Due to the delay of indexation for 9 months, the actual indexation for the year will not be 6.3%, but 1.575%. That is, until October, payments will be made unchanged and only in October-December 2019 - in an increased amount. But it should be borne in mind that for the next periods, indexation is also planned for October. Therefore, the time period of 12 months will be maintained in the future.

How much will military pensions increase?

According to the report of the military laboratory of the Gaidar Institute, the Russian army after the last increase in January 2018 amounted to 68.8 thousand rubles. Taking into account the reduction factor of 0.7223, the pensioner received 24.6 thousand rubles through the Ministry of Defense.

For reference ! As an average in the Armed Forces, the DDV lieutenant was conditionally accepted as a platoon commander.

Accordingly, after the planned indexation from October 2019 through the Ministry of Defense:

• the average salary will rise to 71.72 thousand rubles;
• average pension - up to 26.15 thousand rubles.

According to the Ministry of Finance, payments in other militarized structures will rise as follows:

• through the Ministry of Internal Affairs - up to 17 thousand rubles;
• for FSB employees - up to 30 thousand rubles.

Since the actual amount of payments depends on many factors, including monetary allowance, rank, length of service, special merits, it makes no sense to focus on average indicators. It is easier to independently calculate how much pension benefits will grow.

To do this, it is enough to multiply the amount of the pension, which was paid from January 2018 to September 2019, by a coefficient of 1.063. The resulting work will mean how much a retired soldier will receive from October 2019.

It should be borne in mind that the provision on the application of a reduction coefficient does not apply to some categories of pensioners:

• military judges;
• workers of the UK, including the military;
• employees of the prosecutor's office, including through the Ministry of Defense.

The pension is paid to them in full without applying a reduction coefficient. Therefore, they will be affected by an increase only associated with the recalculation of the DVI. In real terms, payments will be increased by 4.3%. That is, to determine the final amount, the actual pension must be recalculated taking into account the coefficient 1.043.

In any case, you do not need to apply personally to the pension paying agency or other structures. The recalculation will be carried out automatically and without a declaration.

Forecasts

According to RBC, on June 18, 2019, the government commission approved budgetary projections for the upcoming three-year period, taking into account the materials of the Ministry of Finance regarding an increase in pension provision in 2020-2022. citizens who were transferred to the reserve from the military and equivalent service.

The budgetary allocation will increase.
