Pensions are paid to military personnel and civilians with a certain age. Its size depends on the length of service, amount of accruals, position. But there is a mixed military pension and civilian pension, which has accrual characteristics.
The entire amount of accruals for the military, which includes military and seniority, is called a mixed type pension. This option of social payments is paid to military personnel when they reach the age of leaving service — military experience of less than 20 years.
Pension, like any other income, can have a different size. Some citizens are given additional allowances for long service, for specific merits. This income is regularly indexed, which increases its size to the required level.
Who are the military personnel?
By law, military personnel include citizens who serve and work in units of the Armed Forces, the Ministry of Emergencies, and the FSB. This list includes employees of foreign intelligence, bodies of the penal system and other paramilitary units of the country. The term "serviceman" is deciphered in the Federal Law No. 76.
Pension is not calculated on the basis of age. Experience must be 20 years. His calculation has a special order. When participating in hostilities, 1 year is 3. Three years under special conditions are calculated per 4. The reason for early retirement may be an injury, which worsened health. In case of death or death of a military man, his widow receives the right to retirement. Military personnel and employees of the Ministry of Internal Affairs have the right to resign at the age of 45. To establish retirement benefits, mixed experience may be taken into account.
Payout difference
Military pension and civil pension are different. Payments for military personnel are determined by the size of the salary and length of service. The differences will be as follows:
- Military personnel have a minimum experience of 20 years, while civilians should have this indicator for at least 15 years.
- When determining payments to military personnel, pension coefficients are not taken into account.
- Compared to civilians, military personnel can submit documents for receiving payments even at the age of 40 if their experience is equal to at least 20 years.
Both types of benefits receive with access to well-deserved rest. The size of the pension may vary significantly among citizens of different categories, but the procedure for registration and receipt is similar. The servicemen are entitled to a second pension, which can be received not only by them, but also by members of their families. A mixed type of payment must be made out under general conditions.
The concept
Not all servicemen who have reached the end of their service have 20 years of service. This norm is needed for calculating a military pension. Sometimes not enough for several years. Then a mixed military pension and civilian pension are charged. In this case, the total length of service is taken into account - at least 25 years. Years include a period of service that should not be less than 12 years and 6 months.
For women, the experience includes the time spent on maternity leave and childcare if this period was allocated during service. The length of study at the school is not counted in the length of service. Mixed military and civil pensions are calculated according to the Federal Law No. 4468-1.
Condition
A mixed military and civil pension is granted with the attainment of 45 years. But there may be exceptions due to the presence of a disease, reduction, or reorganization. In practice, there are situations when military personnel leave before the age of 45, and they do not have the length of service to receive a military pension.
They can receive military and civil pensions at the same time after dismissal from service. If there are insufficient grounds for her appointment, then the provision can be made from 60 years for men and from 55 years to women. A civilian pension for military retirees after 60 is legal.
Design Nuances
In order to be assigned a mixed military pension and civilian pension, you need to contact a state organization with a statement. It must be submitted with the documentation to the PF at the place of residence. The procedure is defined in resolution 17/19, adopted by the Ministry of Labor in February 2002.
To receive accruals, you need to prepare the following documentation:
- passport and military ID;
- a certificate indicating the length of service and salary, as well as the period of service.
Documents must be attached to the application, written according to the approved model. Copies are made in the PF. If there is no document, it must be submitted within 3 months from the date of application. This time is approved by Federal Law No. 173. If you had to apply for accrual of payments after 12 months, then you need to write a statement about their recalculation. Then the whole procedure will be performed again.
Calculation Rules
A mixed pension is established by a special method. It is approved by law. Its norms are indicated in the Federal Law No. 156 and No. 4468-1. The basis of accrual is considered seniority and length of service. With their help, a basic size is set, adjusted for different coefficients. For an extra year of work after retirement, you can get 1% more. Recalculation is carried out every year until August 1.
Military experience in a civil pension is taken into account. The amount of income for military personnel is established on the basis of ½ monetary allowance for an experience of 25 years. All payments transferred by post to length of service are taken into account. The experience does not include the time of study at the school. This is approved by law No. 340-1. Payment can be made at the place of service or stay. The order is determined by Federal Law No. 173.
Social payments
When are additional payments available to military personnel? This rule applies to those persons who have been provided with the Ministry of Defense support for long service or disability. They are entitled to a civil pension after a military pension. This is due to the fact that after the termination of service, many people are in good health, and therefore can continue to work in civil organizations.
A retired pensioner, working after leaving, pays deductions from income in the PF. It turns out that he is entitled to an ordinary pension. The conditions for its receipt are as follows:
- age for men is 60 years old, and for women is 55;
- insurance experience in civil work for at least 6 years;
- if work with difficult conditions or in a difficult climate is chosen, then surcharges are put.
The transition from a military pension to a civilian pension is documented. If any data changes, it is necessary to notify the RF PF by writing an appropriate statement.
Making a pension for relatives
Relatives are eligible to apply for the second pension. The list of these persons includes a spouse, young children, adults with disabilities, studying at a university (under 23 years old). They also include dependents. Such payments may be received by the widow. Loss of breadwinner transfers are made under the following conditions:
- death due to injury in the service;
- there is at least 1 month of civil service.
For registration of payments, it is important to document kinship. Such income can be a help not only to the former military, but also to his family.
Schedule
According to the law of the Russian Federation, a pension is accrued every month. The payment date is set by the local FIU located in the region of residence. You can submit documentation at any time. The application is considered within 10 days. Then a decision is made. If it is positive, then funds are credited next month.
Adjustments are made every year. But not less than 1 time per year. It should be borne in mind that since 2016 the size of indexation is minimal. The reasons for this may be different: lack of budget, sanctions in the economy, weakening of the currency.
Each mail has its own pension delivery schedule. All persons are assigned their own date. If the day is a weekend or holiday, then payments occur earlier. Funds can be received later, but within the mail schedule. If you choose a delivery method using a bank, the transfer dates will be the same.
Who pays benefits?
The option of receiving a pension and the institution that delivers is selected by the pensioner on his own. He indicates this information in a statement. The payment delivery institution cooperates with the FIU under a contract. Funds are transferred using credit organizations, mail and other companies. You do not need to pay for delivery and commission.
Payments can be received at the cash desk of the organization or by transferring to a card. Amounts transferred to the account are received. If you choose the method of delivery by mail, then the pensioner can receive the funds on his own. In extreme cases, home delivery occurs.
There are other organizations through which you can receive payments. You can find out about them in the PF. If you want to change the delivery method, you need to apply to the Pension Fund.
Power of attorney
Different payment delivery options allow you to choose the most convenient way. But there are times when, due to life circumstances, it is not possible to withdraw funds on their own. Then another person can do this by proxy. This is a notarized document provided by a pensioner to another person. The power of attorney is paid for at a notary public. But a free option is also possible, and then the document will be similar to a normally certified one.
Since 2013, the power of attorney has been certified free of charge by the organization where the pensioner studies or works. This is also done in the institution where the treatment takes place (Art. 185.1 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). If the validity period is not indicated in the document, this means that it is valid for 1 year (Article 186 of the Civil Code of the Russian Federation). An agent can receive a pension during this period. If a period of more than one year is indicated, payment shall be made throughout the entire term of the power of attorney.
Change of residence
If you change your place of residence, payment will occur at the new location. Then the pensioner should notify the FIU with a statement. The documentation will be transferred to another territorial office.
It is also necessary to fulfill a request for a payment case due to a move when receiving funds through a card. This is due to the fact that it has all the necessary information that will be useful to the FIU at the new place of residence, for example, for the purpose of recalculation. With timely notification, the pension will be credited to the account on time.
