Pensions to federal civil servants: conditions of appointment, calculation, size. Types of pensions

Under the legislation of the Russian Federation, certain categories of citizens, due to the implementation of particularly important government functions, are entitled to receive financial support immediately upon retirement in accordance with special grounds. How are pensions paid to federal civil servants? Are they indexed? How? These and other issues, no less important for society, are considered in the materials of this article.

Who should be referred to federal civil servants?

Before considering various aspects of the pension question, it would be useful to give a definition of the category under study. So, pensions to federal civil servants are nothing more than payments that are sent to members of the society as a result of their long-term work exclusively in positions related to the state federal service. It is important to supplement that the amount of this kind of pension provision depends on the duration of the corresponding work in the civil service. In another way this category is called experience.

Appointment of pensions by a federal civil servant takes place when all circumstances can be correlated with three legislative acts. Among them are the following laws:

• FZ "Concerning the Civil Service".
• FZ "Concerning insurance pensions".
• FZ "On state pension provision".

Who should be attributed to state federal employees? So, under the federal civil servants, it is necessary to consider a citizen who carries out professional activities at the post of the federal civil service and receives money for this from the money of the federal budget.

What are the conditions for granting a pension to a federal civil servant? It is necessary to know that not every employee of the budgetary sphere is considered a civil servant. Those are those who perform managerial and power-administrative functions. In addition, pensions to federal civil servants are also assigned to employees of the executive bodies of the state.

Terms of pension payments

First of all, it should be noted that absolutely all the features and characteristics of the federal service are determined through the basic legislative acts. As noted, this refers to the Federal Law "On State Pensions" and the Federal Law "Concerning the Civil Service of the Russian Federation." What are the specific factors of the appointment of the pension category in question?

First of all, it should be noted that the opportunity to ensure the pension character of citizens appears exclusively under certain circumstances, including the onset of old age, disability or death. Apparently, these conditions do not depend on the will of a citizen. Pensions for long service by a federal civil servant are established in the presence of the following factors simultaneously:

• The experience of the state federal service, one way or another, should equal or exceed fifteen years.
• The dismissal of a civil servant must occur on certain grounds.

Why can they dismiss a civil servant? Pensions to federal civil servants after dismissal are appointed when these circumstances are accompanied by one of the following reasons:

• Reduction of the staff of civil servants or liquidation of state federal authorities.
• Dismissal from public office due to termination of the person's authority.
• Achievement of civil servants to the maximum possible age for professional activity (it is important to recall that the length of service for a federal civil servant is twelve).
• The dismissal of a public employee due to poor health, which, in one way or another, is an obstacle to his continued service in public office.
• The dismissal of a public employee of his own will, the reason for this is, as a rule, retirement.

It is important to note that pensions to federal civil servants are appointed only when the following condition is met: a person is obliged to work for a certain post related to the federal civil service before retiring to work for at least twelve months. Incidentally, the above rule does not apply to those dismissed due to the liquidation of the state authority or the staff reduction.

Pension policy 2017

How is the federal civil servant calculated in 2017? It is important to note that on May 11, 2016 the State Duma of Russia in the process of the third reading passed a law. According to the new legislation, the retirement age of civil servants increased to 63 years for women and up to 65 years for men.

Interestingly, the increase in the age of pensions from the state is carried out gradually. Thus, starting from 2017, it increases by six months annually. This will continue until the final result is achieved. It is assumed that the maximum indicators will take place in 2026 for men, and for women only in 2032. In addition, the receipt of a pension for federal civil servants for long service is possible only after working out a period of twenty years (previously, a fifteen-year-old bar was set). What advantages does the Government of Russia see in raising the age of pension provision? Among them are the following items:

• Preservation of qualified personnel. The fact is that today it is extremely difficult to find such because of the annual decrease in the number of able-bodied people.
• Significant savings in terms of cash.

Ex-Minister of Finance of Russia, Alexei Kudrin, has repeatedly stated that this innovation will necessarily be followed by an increase in the age with respect to retirement for old-age insurance for ordinary people (at the moment it is 55 and 60 years). Nevertheless, today it is not known about the specific level of the increase and the issue of equalizing the retirement age between women and men.

These issues have been discussed in the Government for a long time. So, the adoption of the above measures is expected from 2019, that is, after the presidential elections scheduled for March 2018.

The size of the pension plan

The sizes of pensions by the federal civil servants for today are established by means of clause of the fourteenth Federal act "About the state maintenance with pensions in Russia" from December, 15th, 2001. Thus, the category of citizens considered in the article establishes a state allowance for the development of years, taking into account the length of service of 15 years, which was actual in 2016. As it turned out, this bar has increased to 20 years from 2017.

It should be noted that pension provision depends on the salaries of federal civil servants. Thus, the accrual of pensions is carried out in the amount of 45 percent of the average salary of a federal employee for a month. Naturally, in this case, there are deductions of insurance coverage due to old age or disability, basic (fixed) payments to the insurance (labor) pension, as well as certain increases that are established in accordance with the Federal Act "On Insurance Pensions". It is important to note that an increase in the pension of the federal civil servant is carried out for each subsequent year of service in relation to service in public office for over fifteen years by three percent.

How is the length of service calculated?

The federal law "On Pensions of Civil Servants" states that the length of service in public office is nothing more than the total duration of the stages of the realization of labor activity. By the way, other types of activity are included here, which, one way or another, are taken into account when determining the possibility in terms of pension provision for civil servants, as well as when calculating the amount of pension payments.

So, in the case of awarding pension payments for the length of service in the length of service in public office, it is necessary to include the stages of work in civil service positions and other positions determined by the President of Russia. For example, a class rank of a federal civil servant.

If in determining the pension payment provided for by the Federal Legislative Act "On State Provision of Citizens with Pensions", a length of service of a specific duration is necessary, some stages of labor, as well as other activities useful for certain social categories and society as a whole, are included in it, in one way or another, Which are included in the length of insurance. The latter is necessary for the appointment of a pension, which is provided for by the Federal Act "On Insurance Pensions".

Calculation of the amount of pensions

All types of pensions are endowed with the appropriate procedure for calculating the amount for federal civil servants for long service. This procedure is established through the Federal Legislative Act "On State Pensions in Russia". Thus, the formula corresponding to the reduced law is defined in the following form: П = (45% СЗ - СП) + 3% СЗ × Ст. It contains the following indicators:

• P - the specific amount of pension payments for the generation of the number of years.
• NW is the average wage.
• SP - the specific amount of insurance coverage due to old age (disability), as well as a fixed pension payment.
• Ct - work experience exceeding fifteen years.

It is important to note that the total amount of pensions and insurance pensions due to old age (disability), a fixed payment to the pension and its increases can not exceed 75 percent of wages for the month in the average value for a civil servant. This provision is defined in the article of the twenty-first Federal Act No. 166. It is necessary to supplement: when the years are sufficient to designate a state pension benefit, it is calculated on the basis of the average wage for the last twelve months of service.

Example calculation

For example, a certain citizen carries out his labor activity as a federal employee. So, in April 2015 he is assigned an insurance (labor) pension payment in connection with the onset of old age. Its size is 7,197 rubles. The length of service is twenty-six years. The average monthly salary of a citizen is 16,706 rubles. It is necessary to determine the amount of state pension payments for the generation of years that rely on the employee.

So, the size of the state subsidy of the state federal employee is equal to 45 percent of the average monthly earnings in case of length of service not less than fifteen years. In addition, it increases by three percent with each year of work, which exceeds the required, but not more than 75 percent. So:

• The number of full years of labor activity is higher than the norm: Ct = 26-15 = 11.
• Average salary: СЗ = 16 706.
• The size of the insurance (labor) pension payment: SP = 7 197.

It is necessary to calculate the amount of pensions provided by the state for the generation of years of a certain citizen according to the formula given in the preceding chapters: P = (0.45 × 16706 - 7197) + 0.03 × 16706 × 11 = 5833.68. Thus, this state employee is assigned monthly pension payments from the federal state budget in the amount of 5,833,668 rubles.

The question of pension increase

It is important to note that some categories of citizens from the state are given the opportunity to award an insurance pension in connection with the onset of old age ahead of schedule. These include people living in the Far North and in the territory equated to the North, as well as citizens who have previously worked in the areas represented. It is necessary to supplement that in relation to these persons an increase in the fixed pension payment is made, which is an addition to the insurance pension in accordance with the regional coefficient established by the Government of Russia depending on the locality (for the entire period of stay in this territory).

In case of departure of a citizen from these regions to another place of residence, the amount of state pension security is calculated without taking into account the coefficient.

Indexation of pension benefits

Pensions to federal civil servants are indexed in special cases. Thus, the award of pension provision by the state for long service, recalculation of its value and transfer from one type of pension to another are made in accordance with the application of the citizen. These operations are carried out regardless of the time period after the possibility of the procedure. The exception in this case is only pension social payments from the state on disability. Thus, the recount of the state subsidy in connection with the service is carried out in the following cases:

• Change in the amount of labor (insurance) payment for old age (disability).
• Increase in the length of service of the civil service.
• A centralized increase in the remuneration of civil servants in monetary terms.

In other cases, there is a product of a transfer from one type of subsidy to another in accordance with the state pension provision. In addition, state pension payments for length of service are indexed by a centralized increase in the content of federal civil servants in monetary terms in the manner established by the Government of the Russian Federation.

Types of pensions and the right to receive them

As it turned out, today distinguish the following types:

• For the length of service.
• On disability.
• For old age.
• Social pension provision.

Who is entitled to receive the pension category considered in the article? State employees with 15.5 years of working experience (innovation of 2017), which the state has established pension payments for long service, on their own application and after reaching a particular age, are entitled to receive part of the insurance (labor) old-age pension provision Pension payments for production, based on the total system of individual coefficients of the pension nature of not less than 12 months of work after the definition of the grant in connection with the generation of years.

Earlier it was mentioned that after the establishment of a new legislative act, as early as 2017, the age category should be 60.5 years for women to receive pension payments for men, and 55.5 years for women. The following items are included in the insurance (work) experience:

• Time periods of labor activity, which are stipulated in the article of the eleventh legislative act "On insurance pensions".
• This includes work activities that are taken into account in the process of calculating the length of service for awarding a grant for the development of years under Article 19 of the Federal Legislative Act of 15.12.2001 "On State Pension Provision in the Russian Federation".
• Stages of work activities that are taken into account for the assignment of insurance (labor) pension provision by age, to which the payment for length of service is established.

The issue of pension registration

It is important to note that a citizen of the Russian Federation without a time frame has the right to apply for the appointment (award) of pension benefits immediately after the emergence of the right to them. The application for the award of pensions must be submitted to the Multifunctional Center or the Pension Fund of the Russian Federation. It is necessary to supplement that the document can be submitted independently, as well as by mail or by a legal representative. By the way, in the case of passing the application by mail, the day of applying for pension payments is the date on the post stamp directly from the place of departure. An application for a pension, one way or another, is transferred to the personnel department at the place of work of the citizen. In addition, the chairman of the Board of the Fund in this case is the name of the recipient.

It should be noted that the period for considering applications for pension benefits should not exceed ten days from the date of submission of the application or the missing documentation submitted to the above state bodies after filing.

It is important to know that payment in accordance with the state pension security is established from the 1st day of the month in which the citizen applied for it, however, not earlier than from the day when the right to receive it is available. To establish a retirement benefit for the generation of years, it is necessary to collect the following documentation:

• Passport (original and copy).
• Help on the amount of average income of a civil servant for a month.
• Help on the specific position of a citizen in public office.
• Information about the assigned labor pension for old age (disability), where a specific amount is indicated.
• Copy of the civil servant's work record.
• A copy of the order concerning the dismissal of a state federal employee.
