Legislative norms regulate the right to individuals in certain circumstances of additional regular financial assistance from the country's treasury. Pension for state pension provision is a kind of compensation to those citizens of the Russian Federation who have lost their regular income due to the end of a career in the civil service, received any harm to their health at work or during military operations, and were also unable to work due to objective reasons.
Official Definitions and Excerpts
The payout format is a monthly allowance. The beginning of deductions of compensatory material support begins on the first day of the month in which the applicant appealed to the relevant state structures. Assignment of a pension for state pension provision is made for those citizens of the country who have reached the age or length of service established in regulatory legal acts.
Individuals who have survived various technological disasters or who have fallen into the epicenter of hostilities are also entitled to certain compensation. The state also helps those who have lost the breadwinner in the family or have completely lost their ability to work due to some circumstances. In addition, a citizen has the right to rely on only one monetary allowance of his choice, regardless of how many privileged groups he belongs to at the same time.
Actual types of state pensions
Payment is made through various social programs that are annually developed and changed by the government. If a simple classification is carried out, then we can say that a state pension is a monetary allowance for the length of service or due to deprivation of the bread-winner, old age or disability. The purpose of such payments is to support those members of the society who have become disabled due to a certain number of factors and circumstances.
Financing is made from the federal budget and is annually recounted in one direction or another. Support is also provided by civil servants, military personnel, flight test personnel and astronauts. Pension benefits in connection with the reform carried out as far back as 2002 were no longer subject to mandatory taxation. Also, as part of the changes, the total amount of the allowance received was divided into two parts - the funded and insurance.
Payments for length of service
According to legal documents, such a benefit is paid to employees of state institutions whose work experience has reached the mark of 15 years. A similar allowance is also given to those who have been filling the position in the federal service for one year or more. The whole list of situations in which a person is entitled to a state pension pension is listed in the list below:
- Conducting downsizing of federal civil servants in local institutions. The liquidation of authorities formed in accordance with the Constitution of the Russian Federation is also a reason for payments.
- Dismissal of an employee of his own free will in connection with the official exit on a well-deserved rest.
- The achievement by civil servants of the maximum permissible age at which a certain position is allowed.
- Deteriorating state of health, not allowing to fully carry out their work responsibilities. Dismissals in case of non-compliance of the employee with the current position, as well as during reduction from those positions that were not approved by law.
Payments for length of service
It should be noted that the calculation is made without taking into account the basic and insurance parts of the labor pension. State retirement benefits and the PRF pay 45 percent of the average monthly salary of an employee in the federal service. Other allowances are accrued in parallel, that is, regardless of the size indicated here.
The total amount of payments may change upwards subject to certain conditions. For example, if you exceed 15 years of work in a public position, an employee for each subsequent year within the framework of his position will receive 3 percent as an additional allowance. However, there is a limitation according to which the total amount of payments should not be more than 75 percent of the average monthly earnings of an employee. In addition, this type of pension is not transferred if the person is still holding a position in a state enterprise.
Accruals for military personnel
This kind of cash allowance is available to persons belonging to certain structures or who have successfully completed service in them. Those who have completed military service in the army of the Russian Federation or the CIS countries, as well as employees of fire safety, drug trafficking control departments, criminal correctional institutions and police departments can apply for social pensions for state pensions. Deductions are due to everyone who has a length of service of 20 years or more.
The amount of allowance is set at 50 percent of the salary in accordance with the rank when leaving the structure. In the same way as in the general case when calculating payments for length of service, each year after the specified period is additionally encouraged by three percent. In this case, total deductions cannot exceed 85% of the total monetary allowance.
Old-age pension for the military
There is another normative act regulating this issue for military personnel of citizens. According to its text, employees of the respective structures who have reached the age of 45 also have the right to a pension under state pension provision. Moreover, such persons should show evidence of poor health.
In this case, the PRF will pay half of the cash allowance for the current employee rank, and for each additional year of service after 25 years, it will increase the total amount by one percent. The above option is relevant only for those military personnel whose service life in the power or army structures is from 12.5 years. Moreover, the total working experience should be at least 25 years.
Disability pension for military
It is assigned to the military, who, as part of the draft service in the ranks of privates, sergeants or foremen, received some kind of injury depriving them of full working capacity. This also includes disability caused by shell shock, injury or illness.
During hostilities, the state disability pension increases at the expense of certain allowances in accordance with the specific group to which the person belongs. Satisfaction in the length of service in this case varies in a significant range. For disabled people of the first group, payment is 300 percent of the pension, and for victims of the second and third groups, an increase of 250 and 175 percent, respectively.
Disability Pension for Civilians and Veterans
These social categories of people also owe certain deductions. You can find the regulations listed in the Federal Law "On Veterans". They say that for civilians with disabilities, a state pension is a cash benefit available to those who have been injured in the course of work, general illness, or other causes. Participants of the Second World War are also included here. If we talk about an increase in benefits, then for disabled people of the first group it amounts to 250 percent of the estimated pension, and for people who are included in the second and third groups, the increase will be made by 200 and 150 percent, respectively.
Among others, there is a special allowance for all pensioners aged 80 and over. They must also be disabled in the first group and be officially unemployed. If such a person has dependent relatives who are disabled, then he will be charged 32, 64 or 100 percent for one, two or three family members, respectively. In this case, pensioners themselves are entitled to their own allowance in the amount of 100 percent of the standard payment.
Old age deductions
Special options are provided for participants in the aftermath of the Chernobyl disaster. Such citizens can get a well-deserved rest upon reaching 60 and 55 years for men and women, respectively. Moreover, the total length of service for receiving pensions for state pension provision is another indulgence from the government in the form of a decrease in the value by another five years. Living in exclusion zones for a certain period of time or prolonged work to eliminate the results of the accident can further reduce the retirement period.
However, there are special conditions. For example, payments under the old-age pension for state pensions for people with disabilities and those affected by radiation or any other disease due to their active participation in the elimination of the consequences of the Chernobyl disaster become equal to those in the situation with the loss of a breadwinner in the family. At the same time, seniority does not play any role in calculating the total amount of benefits.
Payments due to loss of breadwinner
A similar deduction is provided for disabled people in families belonging to one of three social categories, including military personnel, liquidators of the consequences of radiation and technological disasters, as well as astronauts. The sizes of pensions for state pensions are calculated individually, and the following categories of citizens can apply for them:
- Minor children, grandchildren, brothers or sisters studying in full-time educational institutions. Payments are made until the specified persons reach 23 years.
- Parents of military personnel who died in the performance of their duties. Benefits are awarded to women from 55 years old and men from 60 years old.
- Unemployed spouse or parent, brother, sister, grandfather or grandmother. Compensation is given if the person is caring for the child of the deceased. Such children should not be more than 14 years old.
- Parent or spouse of a deceased pensioner or pensioner with a disability.
- Grandfather or grandmother of the deceased. The applicant must be of retirement age or have a disability.
Features of insurance payments
They are the first and main type of all monetary allowances for the citizens of the country. An insurance pension for state pension provision is received by most residents of the Russian Federation who meet the necessary criteria. In order to start receiving such deductions, a person must contribute funds to the FIU within a certain period of time.
The source of payment of insurance pensions is money contributed by citizens of the country. More detailed information on the regulation of such contributions is mentioned in the Federal Law on Insurance Pensions.
