Availability insurance period is one of the criteria for determining a citizen’s right to retire in 2020. The requirements for the minimum required length of service to apply for an insurance pension are increasing annually, starting in 2015. To apply for payments in 2020, you need to have insurance experience (for standards for 2021 and beyond, see).

In the insurance period, according to Law No. 400-FZ “About insurance pensions” the following are included:

Since 2019, the pension legislation has had a new basis for early exit for retirement - having a long work experience (). Its calculation differs from the standard scheme, since in its duration not all periods are included(for example, military service does not count).

For some types of pension, the duration is of particular importance special experience labor activity by profession or in certain working conditions. This applies to recipients of pensions, pensions and long service (, etc.).

What is insurance experience?

The concept of insurance period is defined in Art. 3 of Law No. 400-FZ. This is the total duration of labor activity of a person and others, the list of which is enshrined in the law. Before changes to the pension system in 2015, the term was used instead "work experience".

Duration of insurance period directly affects the size of the pension:

  • How longer person works, the more insurance premiums the employer pays for it.
  • From the insurance contributions on the citizen's personal account, the amount of the future pension is formed.

In addition, citizens who did not have enough to meet the minimum established standards will not be able to receive insurance pension by old age. They will only be entitled to , which is assigned later than the insurance (at 70 years old for men and 65 years old for women), and its size is fixed for all recipients of this type of security.

Insurance and work experience: what is the difference?

Despite changes in legislation, the concept of seniority is still used in practice today.

  • It includes all periods of work activity and other periods that occur until early 2002.
  • Its duration is used to calculate the size of citizens' pensions as of that date. After this time, with the implementation of reforms, the determination of pension rights and the calculation of payments depends on the insurance period.

What is included in the insurance period

In accordance with the law of December 28, 2013 No. 400-FZ “About insurance pensions”, the length of service includes the following periods of work or other activities performed by citizens of the Russian Federation:

  1. On the territory of the Russian Federation, subject to mandatory payment of contributions to the Pension Fund.
  2. In other countries in cases provided for by the legislation of the Russian Federation or international treaties of the Russian Federation, or subject to payment of contributions to the Pension Fund.

In addition to periods of work, the insurance period will include the duration provided for by law, during which contributions are not deducted.

Please note that not all periods included in the insurance period are counted towards the length of service for. For example:

  • the duration of work in the conditions of the Far North or areas equivalent to them is important;
  • (37 years for women, 42 for men) the duration of work and paid sick leave (without socially significant periods) will be summed up.

What “non-insurance” periods are included in the insurance period?

The insurance period, in addition to the time of work, includes the periods listed in Part 1 of Art. 12 of Law No. 400-FZ. These include:

  • receiving benefits due to temporary disability;

  • period prescribed by law “On operational investigative activities”.

These periods will be counted towards the insurance period if before them and after them there were periods of work (regardless of their duration), during which insurance contributions were transferred to the Pension Fund.

Retirement experience in Russia under the new law

After the reform pension system In 2015, the requirements for the minimum length of service for the assignment of an old-age insurance pension began to increase annually.

Note that the changes did not affect the amount of length of service for assigning early pensions to certain categories of citizens specified in the article and Law No. 400-FZ (employees of the Lists and preferential categories).

Minimum length of service for calculating a pension in 2020 in Russia

To receive an old-age insurance pension in 2020, you must have at least 11 years of insurance experience. The minimum length of service requirement will gradually increase by one year each year. For example, already in 2021, to establish a pension, 12 years of insurance experience are required, in 2022 - already 13 years, until by 2025 it reaches 15 years. In addition to m (table below).

Rules for calculating and confirming insurance experience

The procedure for calculating the insurance period is regulated by Article 13 of Law No. 400-FZ, which provides for the following points:

When assigning pension benefits, proof of insurance coverage is not always required.

Periods of work after the introduction of individual (personalized) accounting (IPU) and receipt of SNILS are confirmed automatically based on the information recorded on the individual personal account of the future pensioner.

Confirmation of periods of work activity before the introduction of individual accounting may be necessary:

  • In the absence of relevant data in the Pension Fund. In this case, as a rule, supporting documents are required from the employer or from the state. authorities in the manner prescribed by law.
  • In case of destruction without the possibility of restoration or loss of work documents through no fault of the employee. In this case, the establishment of length of service (except for the nature of work) occurs on the basis of witness testimony ( 2 or more people).

The insurance period is the total duration of periods of work and (or) other activities taken into account when determining the right to a labor pension, during which insurance contributions were paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, as well as other periods counted in the insurance period established by pension legislation.

Thus, the insurance period, in contrast to the work experience, consists not only of periods of work on the basis of employment contracts (agreements), but also of other “non-working” periods of time included in the insurance period in accordance with the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions” .

Insurance experience is required to assign an old-age insurance pension. In some cases, an old-age pension may be granted early.

In accordance with the law, the minimum insurance period for granting a pension increases annually from 6 years in 2015 to 15 years by 2025. For conditions for assigning an insurance pension, see the article at the link.

year of retirement minimum coefficient
2015 6,6
2016 9
2017 11,4

2021 21
2022 23,4
2023 25,8
2024 28,2
from 2025 onwards 30

Thus, from 2025, an old-age insurance pension is assigned if there is an individual pension coefficient of at least 30. For more details on the procedure for determining pension points, see the article at the link.

In this case, every 30 days of periods of work and (or) other activities and other periods are converted into months, and every 12 months of these periods are converted into full years.

If the periods “ ” and “ ” coincide in time, when calculating the insurance period, one of such periods is taken into account at the choice of the person who applied for the establishment of an insurance pension.

When calculating the insurance period, periods of activity of persons who independently provide themselves with work, heads and members of peasant farms, members of family (tribal) communities of indigenous peoples of the North, Siberia and the Far East of the Russian Federation, engaged in traditional economic sectors, periods of work for individuals (groups of individuals ) under contracts are included in the insurance period subject to payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation.

In this case, all periods that were included in the length of service are considered to be taken into account, including periods that do not affect the amount of the long service pension or disability pension.

When calculating the insurance period, periods of work during the full navigation period on water transport and during the full season in organizations of seasonal industries are taken into account in such a way that the duration of the insurance period in the corresponding calendar year is a full year.

Persons who performed work under copyright contracts in the corresponding calendar year, as well as authors of works who received payments and other remuneration in the corresponding calendar year under agreements on the alienation of the exclusive right to works of science, literature, art, publishing license agreements, license agreements on the grant of rights use of a work of science, literature, art, if the total amount of insurance contributions paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remunerations received under these agreements during a given calendar year amounted to at least fixed size insurance premium for compulsory pension insurance, determined in accordance with the legislation of the Russian Federation on taxes and fees, the insurance period includes a period equal to a full calendar year (from January 1 to December 31), in which insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation are paid from payments and other remuneration under these agreements. If the total amount of insurance premiums paid during a calendar year is less than the fixed amount of the insurance contribution for compulsory pension insurance, a period (in months) of duration calculated in proportion to the insurance premiums paid, but not less than one calendar month (30 days), is included in the insurance period. ).

The period counted towards the insurance period in connection with the payment of insurance contributions to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation from payments and other remunerations under these contracts, if there are periods of work and (or) other activities in the corresponding calendar year, other periods are taken into account in such a way that the insurance period for the corresponding calendar year did not exceed one year (12 months).

In some cases, it is possible to establish length of service based on the testimony of 2 or more witnesses in the event of loss of documents and for other reasons (due to careless storage, intentional destruction and similar reasons) not through the fault of the employee. At the same time, the nature of the work is not confirmed by witness testimony.

Prepared by "Personal Prava.ru"

Until 2002, to receive full pension payments, women were required to work for 20 years, and men – 25.

Starting from January 1, 2003, instead of labor, insurance was introduced - the period of employment during which social tax was paid. In 2013, the government of the Russian Federation adopted a new Federal Law No. 400 (final amendments took place in 2015), according to which the duration of the required insurance period to receive social benefits for old age is constantly increasing.

How much work do you need to do to retire?

According to Federal Law No. 400, retirement in 2017 will require 8 years of insurance experience. The insurance period in the law refers to the period of work of a citizen during which the employer paid social tax for him. This period increases every 12 months by 1 year. It will reach its maximum value in 2025 – 15 years of insurance experience.

If the employer did not pay contributions in full or in arrears, the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation may exclude data from such a period from the insurance record. This point is the most controversial in the law and there is a possibility that the next amendment will repeal it.

In addition to the amount of insurance coverage, in order to receive social pension payments, 2 more conditions must be met:

  1. Citizen's age. For women this parameter is 55 years, for men – 60.
  2. The value of the individual pension coefficient (IPC). In 2017 it should be 11.4. The IPC is growing by 2.4 per year and should reach 30 points by 2025.

Important! To receive an IPC, you need to receive a “white” (official) salary of at least 10 thousand rubles.

There are a few exceptions to the age limit:


What benefits will those who have worked for a quarter of a century get?

(7000 + 6500) + (7000 + 6500) * 50% = 20,250 rubles.

Also, the ensign is entitled to a presidential allowance in the amount of 1 thousand rubles. The final pension for the ensign from the example will be 21,250 rubles.

Teacher

A teacher who has worked for 25 years in his specialty in children's educational institutions.

The work of a teacher in the Russian Federation is honorable, but poorly paid. The benefit is paid on a general basis and is calculated based on the amount of social tax and the citizen’s salary using a complex formula. The only concession is the possibility of early retirement - the threshold is within the mentioned 25 years.

For 2017 average pension a teacher who has worked with children for 25 years is 13,700 rubles.

Is it possible to retire earlier than the standard retirement age? What to do if there is little left until retirement, but they are no longer hiring? What to do when you have no work experience at all? Have the basic rules for going on holiday in the Russian Federation changed in recent years?

The procedure for assigning payments to citizens of the Russian Federation is regulated by labor legislation and special laws. To receive payments from the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, a person must have a certain insurance period.

In the absence of such a general period, the state does not leave a person to the mercy of fate, assigning a social pension, the size of which is certainly less than the minimum labor pension.

What is work experience for retirement?

The pension system of our state is constantly undergoing reform, and even with explanatory work with the population, future pensioners sometimes have difficulty imagining the size of their pension. For all those who plan to rely on these savings in old age, it is useful to know that for calculating a large pension, only the size of the salary is not always important; the duration of its payment is also taken into account. This takes into account whether the worker had breaks from work and for how long, in what industries and in which regions of the country he worked, whether contributions were transferred to the Pension Fund, and so on.

Depending on these conditions, a citizen’s entire work activity is covered by several types of length of service, which subsequently form the basis of his pension. These are general labor, special, continuous and insurance experience.

General insurance

A citizen’s general insurance period includes all time periods when employers or individual entrepreneurs paid insurance premiums for themselves to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation, as well as periods that are equivalent to them:

  • stay to care for a disabled child;
  • serving a sentence in prison (with subsequent proof of innocence);
  • child care up to 1.5 years old. The maximum duration of this period is 6 years;
  • military service;
  • living in an area where there is no opportunity to find work;
  • stay registered with the central registration center.

All information about a person’s insurance experience since 2002 is reflected in the computer personification system. To confirm data on the presence or absence of work experience in the 20th and early 21st centuries (before 2002), it is necessary to provide a work book or documents confirming the fact of work at the enterprise or organization.

Special pension experience for retirement

Benefits for receiving payments consist in the opportunity for certain categories to receive a pension earlier than the general period established by law. Provided for the following reasons:

  • work for a clearly defined minimum period in difficult working conditions (mines, hot shops and other facilities);
  • length of service.

Continuous

Continuous work experience quite logically implies the absence of any breaks in a person’s work activity. Let's say a person got a job in January 1990 and works until today. This person’s insurance period is not interrupted.

If an individual was fired at least once (except for the case when hiring took place) new job the day after dismissal from the previous one), then the length of service will be interrupted.

If we talk about insurance experience, then this concept is not applied to it, that is, it is formed according to the principle of accumulation.

What length of service is taken into account when calculating the labor pension?

The length of service is calculated based on the work book entries.

At the same time, the law does not prohibit the use of several work books for persons working in two or more jobs at the same time. Such citizens need only one thing - to show increased care for the safety, correctness of maintenance and taking into account the number of these documents used, since upon retirement they must all be presented to a specialist who will be responsible for calculating the length of service.

What is included in the charge

According to the norms of the Federal Law “On Insurance Pensions”, the insurance period for a citizen when determining the possibility of receiving payment from the Pension Fund includes:

  • official labor activity on the territory of the Russian Federation. Upon full registration, insurance premiums must be paid to the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation;
  • work activity abroad. In this case, the citizen pays contributions to the Pension Fund on his own or they are transferred in accordance with the norms of international treaties of the Russian Federation with other countries.

The non-insurance periods indicated above are also included in the total length of service.

Experience under special working conditions

Special working conditions are established in production facilities that fall under special lists: No. 1 and No. 2. List No. 1 includes industries with particularly difficult conditions (for example, underground work). The conditions for early retirement for persons who worked in such industries are as follows:

  • retirement age for men - 50 years, for women - 45 years;
  • insurance experience – 20 and 15 years, respectively;
  • the period of work in hazardous production cannot be less than 10 and 7.5 years, respectively.

List No. 2 includes less dangerous work (transport, tunnel construction, etc.). Here the conditions are:

  • insurance experience of at least 25 years (men) and 20 years (women);
  • retirement occurs at 55 and 50 years, respectively;
  • the period of harmful work is at least 12.5 and 10 years, respectively.

Conditions of retirement

The state clearly establishes the norms and rules for assigning pensions to all categories of citizens. For this purpose, laws and regulations are developed and approved at both the federal and regional levels. Currently, this has led to the fact that pensioners in different regions find themselves in special conditions. So, everyone knows that the local government makes additional payments to pensioners in St. Petersburg and Moscow. In Chuvashia, the missing experience can now be purchased (no more than half of what is required), and retirement can be postponed in order to complete the time necessary to complete the experience.

Early retirement regardless of age and insurance period

In any case, when assigning a pension, the factor of age and the presence of a minimum certain insurance period are taken into account. List of persons who have the right preferential pension, established by the norms of Art. Art. 30 -32 Federal Law No. 400. The list is quite broad, so we see no point in listing it. In addition, it is possible to apply for a pension 2 years earlier under the following conditions:

  • dismissals from the enterprise due to liquidation or downsizing;
  • the citizen is registered with the Central Tax Service;
  • There are no vacancies for which employment is possible.

In addition, representatives of the small peoples of the North have the right to a social pension regardless of their work experience upon reaching 55 (men) and 50 (women) years.

Social reasons for receiving a pension early

Early termination of work is quite reasonable for some citizens because:

  • employees of production facilities on List No. 1 and No. 2 sharply deteriorate their health;
  • It is very difficult for people of pre-retirement age to find work, because employers generally want to see a younger and more energetic team in their offices. People of this age who are registered with the Central Bank can apply for payment ahead of schedule;
  • The state understands its social responsibility to mothers who have raised 5 or more children, as well as to disabled people with serious illnesses who, due to health reasons, are simply not able to work effectively in old age.

How many years do you need to work to receive a pension?

Laws establish minimum requirements for each category of citizens. Law No. 350-FZ came into force, defining new age limits for retirement starting in 2019. In general, the age increases by 5 years for both sexes. However, to reduce the stress load for those whose graduation date fell in 2019, a special scheme has been established. The law provides for a number of other innovations.

To establish old-age insurance benefits

Starting from 2019, the minimum length of service to receive an insurance pension in the Russian Federation will be 10 years. As is known, previously in almost all post-Soviet states, including the Russian Federation, this standard was practically minimal - 5 years.

The period of 10 years is not a limit, because according to the norms of the legislation of the Russian Federation, this threshold will increase and by 2025 it will be 15 years.

To assign a state pension

As is known, citizens who do not have the minimum length of service to receive a labor pension will receive social payment. This benefit will not be awarded immediately upon reaching retirement age. The person will be given 5 years to “get” the minimum length of service, which will be 10 years from 2019. If this fails, then the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation will accrue a social pension.

What should be the minimum length of service for an old-age pension?

The minimum working period is different for men and women. In addition, some categories of citizens have special benefits. Therefore, in accordance with the new pension legislation, pensioners transition period until 2025 they will retire based on data from a government-approved table. Thus, for those who must leave work in 2019, they must have at least 10 years of experience, which is 16.2 pension points.

Those who have not worked at all or have not earned the minimum length of service will receive a social old-age pension, the amount of which cannot be lower than the subsistence level.

How much experience does a woman need in Russia?

To receive pension payments, a woman in Russia must reach 55 years of age as of 2018. The insurance period cannot be less than 9 years. In 2019, no one will be able to count on receiving a pension if they have worked with contributions to the Pension Fund for less than 10 years. At the same time, a woman’s total work experience, taking into account non-insurance periods, is from 20 years.

How much experience does a man need?

If we talk about a purely insurance period, then its value is measured in terms of the number of years in at the moment is no different from the indicators established for women - 9 years, but there are some differences:

  • the minimum retirement age is 5 years higher than for women;
  • The minimum total work experience is 25 years.

The procedure for calculating length of service

Labor and insurance experience are similar but different concepts. The length of service takes into account the periods of work of a person at enterprises, institutions and organizations, as well as the implementation of other activities (study, child care, etc.) regardless of the payment of insurance premiums.

In understanding the TS, the concept of continuity is used. If a person quits the enterprise, then for continuity of service he must find a new job within 1 month. If this dismissal occurred due to the liquidation of the organization or staff reduction, 3 months are given for employment.

The insurance period in our country has been accrued since 2002 and is completely tied to the payment of contributions by employers for their employees.

The determination of the total length of the working period occurs by summing up all the stages that, according to the law, are included in the labor activity of a citizen.

Increasing coefficients

When calculating pensions in the Russian Federation, coefficients are established that determine the relationship between the amount pension payment and average salary in the country. The maximum standard ratio is 1.2, but there are also increased performance. For persons who have worked in the Far North and are applying for a “northern” pension, an increasing coefficient has been established in the range from 1.4 to 1.9.

What periods are not taken into account?

The pension period includes only those periods when contributions were made to the employee. pension fund. Therefore, such periods will not be included in it:

  • full-time training, regardless of the institution, as well as courses in personnel training or retraining;
  • living in the occupied territories and besieged Leningrad during the Second World War;
  • being in concentration camps during the Second World War;
  • care for HIV-positive children under age;
  • any leave without pay.

Pension in the absence of insurance experience

The state guaranteed payment to persons without work experience is assigned upon reaching 65 years of age for men and 60 years of age for women. For representatives of small nations of the North, the minimum age is reduced by 10 years.

To summarize, we can say that to get a decent financial assistance In old age, the state requires you to work for at least 20 years. There is also the possibility of receiving remuneration on preferential terms. The state takes care of all pensioners, so even if there is no standard age, a minimum level of income will be ensured.

Total work experience

Total work experience this is the total duration of labor and other socially useful activities until January 1, 2002. The total length of service is needed to assess pension rights as of January 1, 2002. For length of service after January 1, 2002, the concept of “total length of service” does not apply.
