The preferential pension is an opportunity to go on vacation after reaching the set age ahead of schedule. Not all residents of Russia are competent in this matter. In this article we will help you determine whether you fit the category of citizens who may retire earlier, and also tell you what documents are needed for this.
Who can count on a preferential pension?
The answer to the question posed for most is very problematic. A full list of beneficiaries can always be found in
pension fund. This is where you should go in cases where you doubt your rights. Here is a short list of citizens who are entitled to a preferential pension:
workers of harmful production (those who have worked in such conditions for at least ten years fall into this category);
military personnel;
workers of the Far North and Chernobyl;
workers with psychological and emotional stress;
medical workers;
educators;
disabled people;
citizens who have disabled parents;
prison staff;
lifeguards;
citizens of creative professions.
All these professions negatively affect work and health. Therefore, if you find yourself in this list, then you are entitled to a preferential pension - 5-13 years ahead of time.
A separate point is worth noting the fact that those citizens who were
fired from their jobs or fell under pre-retirement age have the right to prematurely retire for a well-deserved rest. In this case, they must contact the employment center in order to leave a job application. If in 7 days a new position is not found, then you can safely draw up paper for leaving for a well-deserved rest.
Pension registration
The preferential pension to health workers, teachers and other persons indicated in the list is provided on a common basis. You will need to apply to a pension fund in your city at the place of registration, where you will have a special card. There you can find a complete list of documents. It will consist of a passport, a retirement card and a work book. The list does not differ from the one needed for applying for a regular pension, it is only supplemented by medical certificates or documents confirming work in hazardous work.
You need to start registration two months before reaching retirement age. During this time, you will be able to continue to work. Do not forget that when a preferential pension is issued, you will have to quit without fail. This is what distinguishes early departure from work. You can no longer find a job
officially. If, for example, a
preferential pension is issued
for teachers, then only
private individuals without registration will be available to you.
In accordance with the law, preferential pension for the fairer sex provides another nuance. If a woman goes on a well-deserved rest ahead of schedule, that is, before the stipulated age of 55, then a fine will be charged on her. It will amount to 0.5% of pension payments every month. This will continue until a woman reaches the appropriate age.
